Fridoy, September 28, 1956 Pcea 2 THE NEBRASKAN Ncbraskan Editorials: fiJo Stall To saj- Ciat student -.t the University are lucky is putting it mildly. The parking situation on campus is and the administration along with many faculty 'mem bers agree not as good as it could be. But that's where University students "have it over" those in many other institutions of higher learn ing. Parking for seniors only, bicycles for fresh men and sophomores, reversion of existing park ing spaces into lots for construction are some of the "answers" to parking situations on other campuses.. At Nebraska, students have an equal oppor tunity to obtain parking permits. These don't guarantee spaces, but they do give to each student and faculty member, for that matter a chance to run at the obstacle course each morning before eight. Chancellor Hardin said that he realizes there is a problem. "The question is, should we re strict parking to some students or allow every one an equal opportunity to park on the cam pus? I feel that the latter is the better answer right now," he stated. As an aid to the situation the Chancellor point ed to the large parking lot at 17th and Vine. "There's room there for students who are will ing to walk a few blocks to class." When the new Union addition is begun even more space will be taken from parking. James Pittenger, assistant to the Chancellor, said, "It's a question of whether we want the expansion of our physical plant or an increase in parking fa cilities. I think that most Cornhuskers want a From the editor's desk: ...with malice towards none better campus and subsequently a better uni versity." Most University students do want a better campus. This mechanized age dictates, how ever, that more and more students will be driv ing to school. A resolution of the problem will have to be conceived. The administration doesn't actually know what it will be. Pittenger called for all solutions. "We'll be delighted to talk with any student who can make a practical pro posal," he said. At present, the Chancellor has asked te Board of Regents for adequate lighting to make the 17th and Vine lot safer. He and John Selleck, the University comptroller, have discussed pur chasing new lands around the campus. But the University is hemmed in by very valuable land. Even a huge parking garage has been thought of. But Chancellor Hardin said of this, "We hava already mortgaged ourselves to the hilt on the 'Union addition, the Student Health Center and the Administration Building. It wouldn't be fair to get in any deeper at present." For those hearty souls teachers included who don't mind a walk, there is always plenty of room at 17th and Vine. We hate to think that restriction of cars will be the inevitable outcome of the problem. Parking meters on campus aren't really a solution, either. We can search for a long range answer. The administration has asked for student help in solving the problem. The assurance that the University is concerned with this highly import situation is temporarily enough to ameliorate those who find a six-block walk tough. Officers of the Interfrater- nity Council placed themselves in a rather peculiar position Wednesday evening. They be gan their meeting with a justi fication of certain facets of the 1956 Rush Week which they had previously termed as one of the most successful in the history of the University. This explanation was promp ted by action from the floor but actually was the result of rather pointed questioning which occurred in an article by a Nebraskan columnist. Although The Nebraskan does not agree with the major ity of charges made by this columnist. The Nebraskan, does support a part of the inferred dictum of the state ments. The major portion of the fraternity system was not aware of the status of spiking (the procedure of giving a pledge pin to a rushee before actual pledge assumption pro cedures have been carried out and most of the members be lieved that spiking was illegal, as it had been in the past. The IFC says that it was made clear to every rushee that spiking was not an obliga tory action. A "spikee" was not bound by acceptance of a pin. Perhaps, it is necessary to accept spiking as an evil that is inherent in the system, but let us not fool ourselves. How many rushees who accepted pledge pins before rush week actually changed their minds and did something about it? On the other hand, how many rushees with pins in their pock ets did an about face and be gan to do "good work" for their chosen fraternity even in the waiting period on Satur day morning in the Union? These words do not mean that there was any evidence of bad faith on the parts of the officers of the IFC. The fact is that the system is not per fectand, perhaps, never will be. A system which allows fra ternities to "snow" men from small outstate towns and have them obligated by the first of August is not perfect. Trips to Kansas City with expenses paid bring to mind the story of the little boy of six years who took a sweet young miss of comparable age to the ice cream shop for a treat. After they had finished and had journeyed to the young lady's Canterbury Discussions: Fife Hslffous porch, the young gentleman began to force his attentions on the heroine. "I don't buy dames, dime malteds for nothing," the six year eld said. An early edition of a Lincoln newspaper contained, on the front page, as lead article, a story about some of the more sordid remarks that are the result of the current political wars. On an inside page, next to the markets, was a story about a millionaire who had .forsak en his wealth, attended college and became a doctor to im poverished natives of Haiti. Us ing family funds he had estab lished a clinic and medical center. Only one thing re mained to be done a suitable memorial to Albert Schweitzer. Bob Considine said recently that he would like to write as his final piece of copy, a story about a "guaranteed and last ing peace." Perhaps, he will some day. The distance be tween the first page and the market page isn't very far un til the paper is opened and split into two segments.

Finally, very irritated, he tapped the hasher on the back and said, "Will, you please give me a glass of milk."

Out of this, the flying test bed was born . . . and slowly grew to its present-day stature as an indispen sable engineering' tool, implemented by an extensive variety of engineering skills. The problems of observing and recording an engine's per formance in the air are legion. Most recently, a Boeing B-50 and a North American B-45 were readied as test beds for iPratt & Whitney Aircraft's J-57 and J-75 turbojets. The experimental power plant, contained in a retractable pod in the bomb bay, can be flown to locations where atmospheric conditions permit most efficient testing. The prototype is then extended into the air stream for actual flight work with the regular engines idled, and the job of observing and recording in-flight performance begins. From the first shakedown flight to the test engine's even, tual acceptance, invaluable information is gathered. Perhaps the most vital contribution made by P & W As flying test-bed program is the great reduction in time between initial devel opment and quantity production of engines. Important, too,' is the quality and diversity of engineering talent involved in such a program, for it spells out remarkable opportunity for today's engineering student.
