GREEK COUNCIL STARTS ACTION TO CHECK CARS Interfraternity Body Names Committee to Suggest Control Methods SCHRAMM HEADS GROUP Action Comes As Result of Recent Announcement by Board of Regents Definite action concerning the use of cars by students may be taken if plans formed by the Interfraternity council at their regular meeting Thursday evening are carried out. A committee composed of Professor Schramm, Dr. Adams, Richard Brown, Paul Matthews and Wendell Cameron was appointed to work on suggestions that will aid in curbing the overflow of automobiles on the campus. It was suggested that cars should not be parked on streets adjoining the campus, thereby relieving the congested traffic prevalent at the in tersection of 12th and R streets be fore and after classes. At present the great number of automobiles parked on 12th and R streets makes it nearly impossible for instructors to make themselves heard. It was also suggested that men living in houses further than one mile from the campus be the only ones allowed to use cars for trans portation to and from school.

The first four students guessing the cor rect scientific subject will be given free subscriptions for the rest of the year which may be taken for them selves or sent to friends anywhere in the country. "There is no hoax to this," stated the editor when questioned Thurs day. "It isn't just a publicity stunt. We have one of the most unique covers we've ever had sub aitted. It treats of a science or a pseudo science with which the bulk of the student body is familiar. It's just up to the guessers in the student body. We want to see how many can hit the proper subject before it appears. And we're going to give five free subscriptions to the first ones that guess right." Guesses from each student have been limited to two so that students will really make a serious guess for the title rather than turn in a long list of scientific subjects. Guesses, according to the rules of the contest, are to be accompanied by the name, address, and phone number of ti e guessers and placed in a sealed en velope. They are to be left in the Awgwan office. Two subscriptions will be given to the first student guessing the subject of the scientific cover and one subscription to each of the next three making the correct guess.
