Sergeant Regler to patrol
Holdrege campus again
Ag college students note:
Sergeant Regler's motorcycle is
working again and he will be mak
ing regular' patrols out to the ag
campus once more to check on
improper parking after a "cold
weather" layoff.
The cycle has been snowbound
since the beginning of the late
February snowstorms, but it is
thawed out now and Regler made
a test run to ag college yesterday.
He cruised around the malls at
ag college several times exhibiting
himself for the benefit of those
students who were taking advan
tage of his confinement to the
city campus, but did not tag any
cars, altho he noticed several vio
lations. He returned an hour or so later
and all the cars improperly parked
had been moved. The sergeant
considers this announcement of his
return as sufficient, and car tag
ging wilj proceed in earnest.
