The team will be chosen at a combination picnic and airmeet to be held at 1 p.m. about seven teen miles east of Lincoln on O street. The Flying club has already Pep Fraternity Prospective Workers in Union Corn Cobs, national pep fra ternity, will hold a smoicer for prospective workers for the year 48-49 Thursday, May 13, at 7:15 p. rn. in Union parlors YZ. Workers are required to have completed 24 hours at the Uni versity of Nebraska, having car ried a minimum of 12 hours the previous semester. They must also carry 12 hours the semester they begin . working, as Cob pledget. ; To be eligible for the spring in itif.ton into -Corn Cobs, students must have a weighted average of superintendents. Problems similar to Nebraska's will be discussed at the convention, and the parking" committee will meet again in a week or 10 days. Situation Grows Worse Three factors have further con tributed, during the past two weeks, to the already serious parking situation, it was pointed out at the meeting. One of these is the heavy general public park ing along 12th street in the early morning, which makes it impos sible for students to park their cars there. The presence on campus of the cars of workers building Burnett hall, and the cars of numerous high-school senior "sneak-day" parties have added to the prob lem. Suggestions for parking space included using the coliseum mall, putting 12th street and T street under the University's supervi vision licensing plan. Mall Would Add 400 More than 400 parking places would be added if the mall were made into a parking lot, but at least five policemen would be required to supervise parking there. Their salaries would cost the University an estimated $25, 000 annually. As things now stand, 12th and T streets are city streets and subject to city policing. The Uni versity administration cannot put 12th or T under its supervision without an order from the Board of Regents. If the board did make a regulation to that effect, the University would then be able to make its own rules for those streets and. could, if it wished, allow double parking. Under the licensing plan, stu dents would have to buy stick ers or plates to put on their cars so. that they could be recognized as belonging to students. This li censing, on the order of the fac ulty restricts student parking, would forbid people not attending university to park their cars in areas restricted to students only. Problem Not New Dean of Student Affairs, T. J. Thompson said that the problems was an old one, and stated that a licensing project had been con sidered and discarded as not fea sible 24 years ago. Committees have been working steadily on the parking problem for the past year or so, the Dean said. University Comptroller John K. Selleck asserted that the ques tion is, do students want parking (Continued on Pape 2) Worth Airmeet sent pictures of their candidates for "Sky Queen" who will reign as queen of the meet.

Will Entertain 75 (4.5) from the previous se mester and must have an over-all weighted average of 75 (4.5). Each house may send two or more men, from which a maxi mum of two will be chosen.
