Youth Employment

Benefits
Lincolnites
If you need your lawn
mowed, a babysitter or part
time help of any kind, call
7-5500.
This is the phone number
of the Lincoln Youth Em
ployment Service, located in
the YMCA Building at 13th
and P Street.
Mutual Benefit
The service, which mutu
ally benefits Lincoln's resi
dents and youth, enables
young people between the
ages of 14 and 18 to find
part time employment and
gain valuable job experi
ence. Sponsored by the Lincoln
Sertoma Club, the Y.E.S. is
operated by two young
Lincolnites K a r e n Peter
son, a sophomore at the
University, and her assist
ant, Mary Ann DcBoer, a
junior at Northeast High
School.
"The service," said Miss
Peterson, "is based t ; xn
the principle that practical
job experience is one of the
best educational opportuni
ties a young person can
have."
"It also provides a codi
fied method by which Lin
coln residents may secure
competent, well-screened
help," she added.
File Card
A teenager, applying for
prospective employment
through the Y.E.S., is first
interviewed. A. detailed file
card is kept of each youth
commenting on his inter
view, personal characteris
tics, work record, job pref
erence and the general area
in which he lives.
When the Y.E.S. office re
ceives a request, these files
are checked. The youth
chosen for the job is then
called. It is his responsibil
ity to call the employer and
make arrangements.
The Y.E.S. has been op
erating in Lincoln for one
year. During this year 1526
teenagers have applied, 1154
requests for part time help
have reached the office, and
952 youths have been placed.

Students Had
At University
'No Parking' Orders
As Students Stormed
Tear gas and the Lincoln
fire department weren't
enough to disperse a crowd
of students rioting in protest
against "No Parking" regula
tions on the University cam
pus ten years ago.
At that time campus streets
were open for parking of any
vehicles, not only those of
University students but also
those of the general public.
Regulations on the s t r e e t s
were set by the city. Only
two parking lots were avail
able for students' cars. The
problem of adequate parking
facilities had become serious.
On the morning of May 7,
1948, two tow trucks attempt
ed to move double
parked cars from 12th and R
Streets where "No Parking"
signs were posted. Protesting
students deflated the tires of
the trucks so that the cars
could not be impounded.
Cops Arrive
Police were sent, and a mob
of students gathered around
the police cars. When the stu
dent mob failed to disperse,
the police used tear gas
bombs. When this did not
work, the fire department was
called.
As the fire department ar
rived, the group of now near
ly 2,000 began a march to
the police station, chanting i
"We Want Parking!" as they1
went. .
At the station, the mob
turned to City Hall and then
towards the State Capitol
stopping traffic as they went.
The chant had changed to,
"We want "V'al!"
Val Peterson, governor,
came to the steps of the capi
tol and listened to the pro

tests. Peterson told the group
that the state did not have
authority in the matter, and
he would have to turn the
matter over to the Chancel
lor. The students returned to
the campus.
That afternoon classroom
decorum was disrupted. Many
students cut their classes. One
enthusiastic fellow drove his
small motorcycle into the So
cial Science building and
broke up a class in the au
ditorium. For no particular
reason, the students paraded
through town that afternoon
on what they later called the
"Nothing March."
Special Committee
Several days after the riot,
a special faculty-student com
mittee was set up to investi
gate the parking problem. The
following fall, the committee
announced its solution.. 1400
parking stalls would be avail
able in official student park
ing lots and on the campus
streets for use by students
with parking permits and
stickers.
The students had received
a solution to their problem, a
solution which remedied the
problem for ten years!
