$4,000 in Parking Fines
Since First Semester
By Jim Forrest
Approximately 5,591 parking
violation tickets were issued
by the campus police depart
ment by the end of the first
academic semester, according
to Capt. 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

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

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.
