Parking hogs get
the editorial goat!
Campus parking problem are pretty old stuff
and probably conditions are not really as bad as
one is prone to think after vainly driving around
the mall three times in search of a empty space
while 9 o'clock history class gets well under way.
But the fact remains that during the first three
morning classes, student motorists could get odds
on their chances of finding a parking space cold!
Many solutions have been suggested, most of
them not too promising, but to anyone who will take
the trouble of a few swings around the mall about 9
o'clock of a busy morning, one very obvious fact
will stand out: Anywhere from six to more than a
dozen spaces go to waste at the peak period because
of careless parking. Drivers swing into the curb
without regard for the proper angle of parking and
thus make it impossible for anyone to use the ad
joining stall. If this practice were stopped, the park
ing problem would not disappear but certainly it
would be considerably alleviated.
The best part of such a proposal is that It in
volves no changes more extensive than the exer
cise of a little more care on the part of drivers.
Next time you ar one of the lucky ones who finds
a place, think of the fellow who may arrive next
and be sure that you are not parking in such a
way as to be personally responsible for depriving
him of a space at the curb.
The day of fools has passed. It was our day, you
and I. I'm a fool for trying to write a column and
you are a fool for reading it But aren't we all fools.
It was our day.
Comes the verdant springtime, there wells up
within my barren, yet capricious soul, a certain
tremor a tingling a titillation, which predicts my
winter philandering will be put to nugatory she me
by spring loves and fascinations.
In this kind of weather I go on a new schedule.
Sleep ten hours a day and work ten hours a day
all at the same time.
Women. They just sorta pop up end become
' beautiful. All of them too. Well most of them. In
all kinds of light lacy stuff. It makes a man so he
can't thing straight. Curves on the brain.
Life is not a bowl of cherries as some flighty
soul once stated. It is a culdrun of a mad inferno
whore youth is petted and made over then cast into
the fires to burn. Yes, youth movements are talked
over and discussed but what is done? We are still
the scum that floats upon a filthy stream at the
bottom of a forsaken abyss.
Night has fallen and I leave for my desolate
hovel where there Is io warning love, nothing to in
spire hope and most of all nothing to eat but a crust
of bread which the mice and I have shared for a
fortnight. The last ray of hope is gone. My heart
hangs heavy upon its feeble pillars.
For you and for me; we shall share the above
paragraphs just to realize how good things really
are. Or are they ?
"MOBILIZE FOR FREE BUSINESS."
Mobilizing for free business was the main theme
of headlines yesterday after H. W. Prentis, Jr., most
authoritative mouthpiece for American industry, ex
pressed his faith that America has not reached the
end of the road in either an economic or a spiritual
sense in a nationwide radio appeal,
Frentis, president of the National Association
of Manufacturers, asserted that victory in the cur
rent nonpartisan campaign for a resurgence of
Americanism would assure that the golden age for
the nation is ahead, not behind us.
He indicated that turning away from the con
fusions of collectivism would set free new forces
which in a reasonable time perhaps a year would
provide jobs for all those who are eager to work and
who are employable.
He also insisted that even tho this nationwide
mobilization of advocates of American political, reli
gious and economic freedom is inaugurated in a
presidential year the movement is entirely nonpar
tisan and that the principles behind the campaign
should appeal alike to democrats and republicans.
MORE CHANGES.
Opponents of the administration's reciprocal
trade program delayed a final vote on its extension
yesterday with a series of amendments designed to
give congress a stronger voice in drafting trade
agreements.
Democratic leaders predicted a final vote by
Wednesday on the house-approved bill to extend
the act for three years. Republicans and western
democrats, however, said it may take longer.
Senator McCarran's proposal to forbid Secre
tary of State Cordell Hull to disturb existing excise
taxes on coal, oil, lumber and copper was before the
senate yesterday. After its cosideration the senate
will be confronted with others by Senator Adams,
to permit a majority of the senate to pass upon
them, and by Senator La Follette to turn the trade
program over to an export-import control board to
be set up in the government.

Fine art is definitely on the skids, according to
a statement made by Ralph Fletcher Seymour, na
tionally known etcher and designer, in the Kentucky
university student paper. Seymour substantiated his
Btatement by pointing out that under changing eco
nomic conditions there is no place for fine art since
millionaires no longer pose as patrons. Fewer paint
ings are bought and more and more fine pictures
are going to auctions, bought, but never paid for.
At the Missouri School of Mines the "Miner,"
school paper, is sponsoring a personnel rating of the
faculty of the school. Students have been asked to
fill out a ballot rating the professor's intelligence,
ability to teach, energy, knowledge, interest, fair
ness and personality. All ratings are on the basis of
superior, medium, and inferior. A similar survey
was taken at the school two years ago. As a result
of the last survey several changes were made in the
faculty. Only rub is that every ballot must De
signed.
And what is probably one of the best alibis of
the week comes from the University of California
where the "Daily Californian" tells of the girl who
outdid herself in graciousness while waiting for her
appointment with the doctor. Every time her name
was called she turned to the person in back of her,
and sflid, "You go ahead on in. I'm in no hurry."
A puzzled nurse finally interrupted the proced
ure with, "You can't keep putting off your appoint
ment like this."
"But nurse," said the girl holding up the maga
zine she was reading, "I've just GOT to finish this
story."
At the same school they are making plans for a
coeducational dorm for married students of course.
Ten student couples will live in the new dorm pro
viding the project goes thru and several administra
tive problems are solved. These are: finding a
house; deciding whether each "little woman" will
work out her cook book homework separately or in
league with the others; making the venture self fi
nancing; and providing adequate nursery facilities.
Here is a story from Virginia State that de
serves notice. It seems that a prof was 15 minutes
late to his class, and, since they have the ten minute
rule, the students left. At the next session the prof
repremanded the class with, "My hat was on the
desk, that meant that I was here!" The next period
the professor came to class and found a bat on every
dc;k.
