Among Marteries many LP album hits are "One Night Stand,' "Trumpeter's Lullaby," "Mar terie'i Mood," "Dancing On The Downbeat," and "Marve lous Marterie." The Marlboro Men have been described as being "more constantly on tour than any other big-name orchestra in ' the business."

Eugene Masters. Masters, who has headed the department since 1959, said that over $4,000 in fines was received by the depart ment from Sept. 1, 1960 to January 31, 1961. "Most of the violations were received by students who had parked their cars in the wrong area, on red and green lines or stalls with expired met ers," said Capt Masters. Capt. Masters explained that all the money collected on parking violation fines and permit fees has always gone for the maintaining of office help and supplies and upkeep on parking lots and traffic signs.

Outstanding Pledge Class AW 'Help Week' Trophy By Dave Wohlfarth The Alpha Tau Omega "Help Week" trophy will be awarded again this year to a pledge class, other than ATO, which best fulfills the follow ing four requirements: The per cent of the pledge class making their averages, the number of activities the pledges are in, the overall pledge class average and the project done by the pledges during Help Week. The award to the outstand ing fraternity pledge class was initiated to encourage hawks. Both teams con nected with 23 shots from the field, but Nebraska hit 23 of 34 free throws to 22 of 28 for Kansas. Russell led the Husker scoring with 18 points and Jan Wall added 17 to the Nebraska totaL Hightower was high for Kansas with 24. Butch Ellison c o n t r i buted 15 as Bill Bridges was held to one field goal and eight points. Bush said he plans to start the same lineup ' to night against Kansas State that opened against Kansas. This would find Russell and Wall at forwards, Bill Bow ers at center, and Al Roots and Rex Swett at the guard posts. "With this starting lineup "Last year," Masters said, "the department collected nearly $11,000 in fines and $7,118 in fees. Out of this fund, the department donated several thousand dollars to help pay for the paving of the south Selleck parking lot." Masters pointed out that not all of the money is col lected for jusi the miranum charge on ticket violations. Many students let the "pain ful" task of paying a dollar slip for days and even weeks until they were forced to pay $2 or $4 for each ticket. "A student came in just this week and paid out $20 for four parking tickets issued throughout the semester," be said. "It is very common for a student to pay $20 or even $30 at a time." Campus police records show that in November of this year uii . ; "help" instead of "hell weeks, according to ATO president Jim Panzer. Last year's trophy, the first to be presented, was awarded to Sigma Alpha Mu frater nity. ' Donated by an alum, O. H. Schellenburg of St. Peters burg, Fla., the four-foot tro phy will be awarded later this spring, according to Panzer. In order to keep the trophy permanently, a fraternity must win it thre ee years in a row. The board of Judges ill m- 1 Adm. Blda. ,j 1 T j ' V " Next? we have some bench strength in Ivan Grupe and Jim Kowalke," the Husker mentor said. Kowalke scored nine points in a re lief role against the Jay hawks. The Kansas State lineup includes a Nebraska native, Al Peithman of Hebron. Peithman has scored the winning bucket in several close games for the Wild cats this year. Leading the Wildcat team is Ced Price, an all-sports star who hit 28 points in the win over Missouri Saturday night. Price passed up foot ball the past season to con centrate on the cage sport. Nebraska has dumped one of the leaders. Can they repeat tonight? Monday, Feb. 27, 1961 a total of $216 was paid on $2 tickets and $176 on $4 tickets. 'Plenty of Parking In answer to the complaint that student often have no other place to park except in an illegal area, Captain Mas ters said, "We (the Univer sity have plenty of parking." "It may not be close to campus, but on any day of the week there are upwards to 400 vacant stalls in park ing lots off 16th, south of El gin, at 10th and Vine and in the Avery lot." The Captain pointed oat that the University was im proving and expanding their fringe campus parking facili ties even how by enlarging present lots and making lots out of vacant University land. The meter lot east of the Student Union, which was built as an experiment in 1959, has turned out to be the "best" lot on campus for get ting tickets." "Students like to gamble," said Masters. "They pull into a metered stall and not know ing how much time is left would rather gamble a nickle against the chance of being issued a dollar violation tick et." , Students aren't the only ones that have parking prob lems, he said. The faculty C and B lots are always packed on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. No Problems The only people at the Uni versity that don't seem to have parking problems are the students on Ag Campus. "Ag campus has no short age of spaces for parking," said Masters. "One reason is that faculty and employee parking is together in the same lot, thus consolidating a number of lots into one." A group untouched by the car squeeze on city campus are those students and faculty members who drive bicycles, motorcycles and scooters, "While required to have a parking permit, cycle owner are restricted to parking in the always vacant triangular spaces at the end of the di agonal parking areas on cam pus streets," said Ca p t a i n Masters. Will Receive dude two alums of ATO, two faculty representatives and two members of the Interfra ternity Council. Applications should be turned in to either Hal Spur rier, ATO scholarship chair man Steve George, ATO IFC representative, or Panzer. The ATO's initiated "Help Week" nationally as a "pre initiation activity which dem onstrates, through action, the principle of service to oth ers." The idea was originated by Bob Lollar and the Indi ana ATO chapter.
