Student Council:
Solutions Proposed
To Parking Problem
Three possible solutions, to the
University parkin oroblem were
reported to Student Council Wed
nesday by Dave Keene, Council
representative on the Parking
Board.
The proposed solutions include
the installation of parking meters,
a dual , price permit system and
restriction of freshman parking on
campus.
A system of parking meters
could be set up whereby the me
ters - paid for themselves, Keene
said.
The -dual price permit system
would result in a student paying
one price for a permit to park on
the perimeter of the campus and
a higher price for a permit for the
center of the campus, he explained.
Freshmen woulJ still be per
mitted to bring cars to school, if
the suggestion restricting fresh
man parking , were adopted The
University would simply not sell
them a parking sticker, he said.
Keene stressed that the most im

pared to do college-level work.
Carpenter stated that he would
attempt to amend the money bills
in the Legislature to eliminate stu
dents taking remedial courses for
freshmen students.
Some senators stated Wednesday
that they questioned whether Car
penter could legislate entrance re
quirements through the Unicamer
al appropriation bills.
The Chancellor's statement:
"There is great merit in Sena
tor Carpenter's suggestion. The
problem, however, need not be sub
jected to the meat-axe treatment
involved in passage of a legislative
act.
"The University of Nebraska has
been concerned about this matter
for a period of years and I am
pleased to report that steady pro-
Council in regard to the parking
problem was to somehow get the
students used to the idea that they
would have to walk some distance
from their parking spot.
"There are off-campus Univer
sity parking lots that are never
filled," he emphasized.
The Council will discuss the so
lutions at their next meeting.
In further Council business,
Dwaine Rogge, sophomore in En
gineering was elected Council
treasurer. Judy Chapman, sopho
more in Teachers Colleee was
named recording secretary and
Gary Frenzel, sophomore in Engin
eering will serve as correspond
ing secretary.
Helen Gourley, junior in Teach
ers College was installed as the
new Council president by Bruce
Brugman, past president. She in
turn installed John Kinnier, Con

bers. The new members of the
Council were then installed.

and satisfactory solution. After all,
this involves not only the Univer
sity of Nebraska but many seg
ments of the public educational
system of this state."""""
"Senator Carpenter's figures for
enrollment in remedial courses for
the current academic year are co
ect. These are: Physics A, 147
students, Chemistry A, 292 stu
dents, and English A, 461 students.
These courses are, in substance,
nigh school level courses.
"One year ago the University
administration, in cooperation with
the faculty agreed, effective next
September, to abolish Physics A
which was created in the main for
students who attended Nebraska
high schools which do not teach
courses in physics. Some students
enrolled in this course, however,
who took high school physics but
who made poor grades in the en
trance examination in this subject.
Provision has been made for stu
dents who are not fully prepared
for college physics to take this
course in University High School
or. a special fee basis.
"One year ago, the University
administration and faculty agreed
to abolish at the end of this aca
demic year thp remedial course
in Chemistry. Here again, nearly
80 per cent of the students enrolled
were from small high schools not
teaching chemistry or where the
student failed to enroll in the
course offered. The remainder
were poorly prepared, even after
taking high school chemistry. Ef
fective next fall entering fresh
men who could not get high school
chemistry, or who failed to take
it, or who made poor grades in
the chemistry entrance exam, will
be required to take regular fresh
man chemisty on a sink-or-swim
basis.
"English is another, and very
perplexing problem, with which
the University has been struggling
for some time. We believe we are
making some progress in working
out the problem with the high
schools of the state but it is natural
ly a slow process. English is taught
in every high school of Nebraska
but in the near future we see no
measurable improvement likely in
the number of students who cannot
qualify ' for college-level English
courses. We feel we must continue
English A on its present basis for
at least another year. Several plans
for dealing with this matter are
now being considered by various
faculty groups, and in cooperation
with Nebraska high schools.
"The University, may I say
again, is aware of the problem of
giving remedial work. The record
shows, however, that the Univer
sity is doing something about it with
tne complete support of the Board
of Regents. In fairness to the high
school student and their parents,
and the high schools themselves,
we fell it is a matter of common
decency to take these steps grad
ually so that students planning to
enter the University' wi'J have a
reasonable opportunity to meet the
higher standards expected of them
in ihese subjects."

lO.A., Meeting:
CCemiimedly Sclhedyiedl
By GARY RODGERS
SUff Writer
John Kennedy, tousle-haired sen
ator from Massachusetts, will ad
dress the University tomorrow. The
talk, sponsored by 15 studnt or
ganizations, will be held at 10 a.m.
in the Union ballroom.
. The general public is invited to
attend, and there is no admission
charge.
After a 30-minute talk, Sen. Kenp-
nedy will answer questions from
the audience.
The 33-year-old New Englander
is serving his first term in the
United States Senate and is the
third Democrat to represent his
state in the history of that legisla
tive body.
Kennedy was born into a family
of politicians in 1917 in Brooklyn.
His father served for a while as
ambassador to Great Britain and
as chairman of the Maritime Com
mission. His mother is the daugh
ter of the former mayor of Boston,
John Fitzgerald.
At present, his brother Robert is
counsel for Senator McClellan's
Government Operations Ccmmitte
which is investigating labor and
management racketeering.
In 1940, the young legislator
graduated from Harvard with hon
ors. He also took some graduate
courses at Stanford University.
He married Jacqueline Lee Bou
vier ir 1953, forfeiting his position
as perhaps the country's most elig
ible bachelor.
Prior to his election to the Sen
ate, Kennedy was a member of
the House of Representatives for
six years, from the 11th Massachu
setts District.
Last August he came within a
handful of votes of receiving his
party's nomination for vice-president
at the Democratic National
Convention. Kefauver edged him
out for the slot, in one of the clos
est ballot races in any national
convention.
He is a member of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee, Sen
ate Labor and Public Welfare Com
mittee, Special Committee to In
vestigate Lobbying and Special
Racketeering, and Special Com-
senators of the past,
Senator Kennedy has also distin
guished himself as an author, hav
ing written two books, "Why Eng
land Slept," in 1940, and "Profiles
in Courage," the book for which
he was recently awarded a Pulit
zer Prize. The book is an account
of the pressures endured by sena
tors who spoke out for what rhey
believed to be the national interest
Rain, Drizzle,

More is on the way, the Weather

and thundershowers over the re
mainder of the state.
Rain and heavy overcast skies
are on tap for the University and
southeastern Nebrsaka through
Friday. Showers are expected to
end over most of the state Thurs
day night, the bureau said.
But as the low pressure area
moves eastward southeastern Ne
braska should receive additional
rain Friday.
Imperial and Sidney got most of
the rain that fell Wednesday night
and early Thursday.
Imperial recorded 1.17 inches
and Sidney .97. Snow was mixed
with the rain at Sidney, the
weather bureau said.
Cool weather is on the docket
for Friday, the forecasters said,
as highs are not expected to ex
ceed 59 degrees in the state.
