CAMPUS COP HAS MANY VIOLATORS OF PARKING LAW Parking violations have been numerous and frequent during the past few days according to Cam pus Cop Regler, who has been busy tagging cars. "I am sure that these violations are due to misunderstandings rather than to any attempt to dis regard traffic ordinances," Police man Regler declared. There are three sections of the campus in which parking by other than faculty members is pro hibited, he pointed out. One place is on the drill field north of Social Sciences and Teachers college; one is back of Chemistry hall, and the other Is back of the School of Music. Only faculty members with registered cars are permitted to park in these spots. For first offenses Oficer Regler has been giving a yellow warning tag and has merely jotted down the license number. A second of fense will necessitate u trip to the police station on the part of viola tors, he said. It was also explained that there is no time limit on parking on the campus. The two-hour limit which is in force in down-town areas does not apply here. Stu dents may park their car in the morning and leave it there all day If they so desire.

Faculty members expect an at tendance of about 400 which is the number that attended the first party last year. "The building will be satisfac torily cool," Professor Lantz ex plained.
