against it. Their arguments seem to revolve around
a central theme "One-way traffic would be such
a nuisance. We would have to go out of our way
to reach houses on 16th street or to go to Ag
campus."
Their argument against the plan seems to be
logical if they are considering one-way traffic
from a purely selfish stand-point. However, if
they would consider it from the viewpoint ot
what will bring the greatest benefit to the driv
ing public both University and Lincoln resi

merits.

16th street each day. Assuming that half of the
trafflo goes each way, 3600 cars ge north on 17th
and about 1800 on 16th for a total of 4800 north

If all south bound traffic were routed over 16th

organized women's houses and organized men's
houses on 16th street; an increase of 1200 cars or
one third more traffic.

It was shown in the survey made by George
Barton, Chicago traffic consultant employed by the
city of Lincoln, that 17th street was carrying a
heavier traffic load than the width of the street
could adequately accommodate. With the assistance
of the traffic division of the local police depart
ment, Barton has shown that something will have
to be done to remedy the situation. Two possible
solutions were offered widen 17th street or re

According to City Commissioner of Publio
Welfare and Safety, Ray Osborn, no improve

Railroad crossings have become exceedingly
rough and the brick paving comprising most of
the street Is none too smooth. Osborn was un
certain as to whether traffic signals could be
obtained to regulate crossings at R and possibly
Vine streets.

The company manager said the proposed change

times a day thereby completely blocking traffic

In spite of the inconvenience which such a

would benefit the majority of the motorists who
travel these streets. How can the casual observer
disagree with the wisdom of men who have made
it a career to solve traffic problems and elimin
ate trafflo hazards?
Opponents of the plan stress that they would
haveto travel out of their way to reach their des

to realize that by adding an additional traffic lane

like the music Woody Herman

dreamy arrangement and the tenor

through it. This power packed
album is in contrast to the easy'

Dear Editor:
Since my Teturn from "the
country," I have been reading
many inches of newsprint in re
gard to the present flare-up of
the old parking problem.
Congratulations are in order for
both the staff and theme of our
Daily Nebraskan. Journalists who
have the will and instight with
which to expose the cause and
effect of such problems allow our
daily clarion to live the creed of
America journalism.
After reading your commen
taries and a slight misrepresenta
tion of the tacts by Dean Borg
mann, (there have been chronic
violators other than students,) I
feel that the chance of alleviation
of the Darkinff problem and the
resultant humiliation may not yet
be lost. We students and faculty
do need assurance that an effort
is being made in our behalf. Those
of us who are to be premanently
rusticated after our next ticket
are vitally concerned. And wil
those who follow us be snared as
easily as we?
