Editorial Comments:
Constitution Wording
Causes Solicitation Question
Article II of the All University Fund
constitution states that "No organization
may be permitted to solicit for funds from
the total student body of the campus with
out the permission and approval of AUF."
This statement has always seemed clear
enough for the last five years of the con
stitution's existence. On April 7, the mean
ing of this clause became such an issue
that AUF took the startling step of intro
ducing an executive session into its usu
ally staid run of meetings.
The question seems to be this: Does
AUF approval mean that it approves of
the requested permission to canvass or
does It mean that AUF has an obligation
to endorse a drive if it permits that drive?
A simple consideration that one of the
reasons for AUF's existence is that it pro
tects the campus from unwanted or too
numerous canvasses in return for its
campus-wide monopoly on solicitations
demonstrates clearly that the distinction is
more than a mere draftsman's quibble.
It is certainly incongruous that AUF at
the first of every drive year takes elabor
ate precautions, polls and self-surveys be
fore it picks the charities which are to be
represented, but in the middle of the next
semester it suddenly discovers that seem
ingly all that must be done in order that
another drive be conducted is that AUF
board members decide that the group
wishing to solicit has a worthy cause.
Original members of the AUF constitu
tional group of 1954-55 undoubtedly thought

the matter was clear when they inserted
under the heading of "Requirements for
Solicitation" the following:
"All campus and off-campus organiza
tions desiring to solicit money through the
AUF must submit a request before the en
suing year and meet with the executive
board before a deadline set by the execu
tive board."
Such a statement would again seem to
establish a clear criteria: There shall be
no drives for any organization other than
those set up after the student poll pro
cedure at the first of the year.
Again the problem hinges on the am
biguous word does "through" AUF
merely mean with its sanction since it is
the only group that can sanction or does
it mean only those drives in which the
full organization of AUF is to help?
Undoubtedly there are many constitu
tions on campus with far worse wording
problems than AUF's and certainly AUF
is to be commended for the fact that it
was trying to rewrite its constitution be
fore the controversy arose.
But in view of the important obligation
that AUF has assumed in becoming the
sole agency to protect the campus from
unwanted solicitations and the sole agency
to represent the many worthy charities,
we can only hope that it will be able to
quickly revise its constitution and make
clearer its position on requests for addi
tional drives beyond the annual efforts of
AUF itself.

UCLA Hikes Kofes
MJ Not Only University
With Parking' Problems
Loyalty oaths, academic
freedom and the "crisis in
education" aren't the only
problems facing American
universities today.
Parking problems are
more than abundant.' The
problem at the University
has been up for much dis
cussion recently in the Stu
dent Council and also has
been the subject of much
discussion at the University
of California at Los Ange
les. But after months of ru
mors, the New York Times
reports, U.C.L.A. Chancel
lor Vern O. Knudsen has an
nounced that the Universi
ty's parking fee would be
raised from $10 to $50 next
fall. (The NU Student Coun
cil has discussed paving the
Selleck Quadrangle parking
lot with higher parking fees
or the use of parking me
ters suggested to offset the
cost.)
The fee-raising problem
at UCLA has brought into
focus once again what the

Nebraska Scene
Editor'! Note: The follewtnf wai
written by a Washinrton UnWerfllT
(St. Lonla, Mo.) student aftrr a re
cent trip to Nebraska. Hia first view
ef the state Is a rather harsh one.
To the Editor:
I rode toward Omaha en
tirely devoid of prejudices
concerning Nebraska or Ne
braskans. In fact it was
with some eagerness that
I anticipated Falls City as
nothing stronger than water
can be served on a train
crossing Nebraska's south
ern neighbor.
Falls City introduced me
to the state with its ram
shackle buildings hovering
close to the railroad track
and black mud covering
every object. As the train
pulled north I wondered in
creasingly if there were any
paved roads in the state
and if all the cars covered
with mud and mired in the
ditch represented the usual
spring scene.
Evidently the farm to
market road campaign had
passed by Nebraska when
Missourians voted to take
Missouri out of the mud
back in 1928.
My doubts about the state
received additional confir
mation as the train pulled
into Omaha. However we
did come by train and what
city appears a garden spot
from a railroad train?
Later I found that there
is little in the way of public
transportation in Omaha. I
hailed a cab for the report
edly short trip to Benson.
Some time later after hit
ting every chuckhole in the
city and noting the coating
of black grim that covered
everything I arrived at my
destination secure with aU
the knowledge the cab driv
er had imparted about the
city.
After cleaning up and
changing from my mud
spattered clothes the rest
of the evening we talked
Nebraska politics. My host
was proud to tell me that
Nebraskans paid less taxes
than residents of any other
state.
My thought was that from -the
quality of the munici
pal amenities I had ob
served I wondered if taxes
were collected at all. I was
frankly amazed that no one
. seemed to have any ambi
tion for the State in terms
of the basic services and
amenities of living.
I had never seen av place
so completely bypassed of
the phenomena of the mid
20th century. It seemed as
though even the newspapers
were opposed to establish
ment of the fundamental
services of an industrial civ
ilization. John G. Roach

former chancellor Raymond
B. A 1 1 e n called UCLA's
"thorniest problem."
The Times says the fee
hike has brought strong ,
protests, the first being
sounded by members of the
faculty.
Dr. Knudsen says the
school has more automo
biles than any other univer
sity in the c o u n t r y. He
says at least 10,000 cars en
ter the campus during the
day and up to 6,000 at night.
New Parking Structure
, The Uclan chancellor said
the raise in parking fees
was needed to finance con
struction and operation of
the University's first multi
level parking structure, ca
pable of holding 891 cars.
New surface parking lots
also are planned.
UCLA is located in the
western part of the city and
is particularly inaccessible
by public transportation, ac
cording to The Times.
T h e r e are no bus lines
from the area south of the
campus or north over the
Santa Monica Mountains
from the San Fernando Val
ley. Day enrollment is 17,000,
with projected enrollment
for 1967 of 27,500, the limit
set by the University of
California Board of Regents.
Too Few Stalls
The UCLA p r o b 1 e m is
somewhat akin to fitting a
square peg into a round
hole. Only about 7,800
parking places are available
for 10,000 parking permit
holders.
By 1967 when the enroll
ment passes 27,000, the Uni
versity figures to have about
14,000 parking places. But
estimates are that there will
be 17,000 drivers by then.
Only 366 students now live
on the UCLA campus, and
the University hopes to al
leviate this situation by pro
viding dormitories for about.
6,000 students by 1967.
Only 3,000 students are is
sued parking permits, on
the basis of need, with the

and employes.
Each pass is issued for a
designated car. More than
40 different colored and
numbered decals decorate

holders.

bunal,' but this is to be ac
complished by constructive
suggestion not criticism.
For instance, there is the
problem of punishment be
tween conduct warning and
suspension or expulsion.
Everyone realizes the prob
lem with conduct probation.
It hurts those in activities -and
has no effect on those
who are not. Yet very few
have come up with a sug
gestion, let alone a work
able solution.
As long as the caliber of
the judges on the Tribunal
remains as high as it has
in the past, students at Ne
braska can certainly look
forward to increasing re
spect for the Tribunal and,
accordingly, granting it
even more power than it
now has.
Any activity or organiza
tion which seems to have
trouble getting members
and goes around wailing
'apathy" would do well to
consider the example set by
this small group of students
who have had the privilege
of Tribunal membership. -
