today.
To see the problem is quite simple: to find the suitable answer is
more difficult. What measures can
be taken to ease the parking and
traffic situation at UK?
This question confronts a special
y
s'udent-facultcommittee headed
by Dr. Joseph R. Schwendemsn,
head of the Geography Department.
ort;;.iiized last spring to study and
make recommendations on the current traffic problem.
As in individual caes, the committee has many single suggestions
but cannot reach unanimous agreement on any or.e. The basic par
problem stems from the fact
that only 607 parking spaces are
available for an estimated 3.000
euioniobiles on the UK campus.
This year G12 permits were issued
to faculty and staff members and
164 to students bv the
Judiciary Commit tee of SGA.
If Extra Issued
Usually 10 per cent more permits
are issued than available spaces.
But. as Dean A. D. Kirwan points
out, this grant of extra permits
poses two additional problems:
1. On beautiful sunny days many

Uiirlrr current regulations all
au'orrobiles must be resistered.
Students are asked to fullll this requirement during the regular :eais- llation period each semester. But
many do not.
Now where does this fit into the
picture? When campus police see
automobile parked on the cam- -'
pus without a permit, a ticket is
made out listing the license number,
a check is made in the files
of registered cars, the name of the
is located, and the $1.00 fine

John Faulkner, president of S.iky,
student pep organization and spva- sor of the card section, appeared at
the conclusion of the meeta g to
discuss the suspension of the card
section by SGA last week.
Faulkner told Assembly members
that he agreed with their action.
which suspended the card section
until Suky gives proof that steps
have been taken to prevent recurrences of card throwing.
'Card Throwing Dangerous'
"We know the card throwing was
dangerous." he said, "and you wt.re
right in doing away with it. We're
working on a system now w hich will
pretty well fix up the situation."
He explained that each organization sitting in the card section at
the next game would be given a L.t
of rules and penalties which wnuid
be enacted in case of violations. The
penalty would consist of holding the
organization, i.e. a fraternity,
sponsible for any damage and
bidding that organization to attend
the homecoming game.
Faulkner, when asked if he had
given Sigma Nu fraternity perrr.is-nesion to form a card section at tiie
Villanova game, replied that he had
thought that only "Suky's card
tion had been suspended," and that
there was no rule against individual
organizations forming them,
Glass clarified the rule by saying
thai no card section, under any kind
of sponsorship, would be permit;ed
until the next game.
Proof of action to prevent more
card throw ing was promised by
Faulkner for the next SGA meeting.

A total of 63 per cent of students
and faculty members contacted last
week believed
that Red Chi.ia
should not be admitted to the United
Nations. Pat Watlington. chairman
of the Student Union Activities
Committee announced.
They were interviewed in a poll
conducted in connection with United
Nations Wteic sponsored by the Student Union Activities Committee.
Another 23 per cent thought they
should be allowed admission, and
4 per cent had no opinion.
One faculty member when asked
the question "Should Red China Be
Admitted to the United Nations"
said. "We cannot deny the sovereignty of the Reds in China and
to refuse them admission limits the
universality of representation in
orwhat should be a world-wid- e
ganization.
A Korean veteran, claiming that
he was slightly biased in the matter,
declared that Red China should not
be admitted to the UN until they
showed
honorable intentions of
wanting peace.
Another question the roving reporter asked student and faculty
members chosen at random was
"What do you think can be done to
make the United Nations more successful?"
One faculty member said that
there should be "less deliberation
and more action." A junior student
de' pleaded for "compromise" and
clared that the United Nations must

he wants to fly to Lexington on a

the money."
Request Postponed
Lyon's request, which has been
made at previous Assembly meetings, was postponed because of fear
of establishing a precedent by which
other colleges and organizations
might ask for funds, and because of
arguments that SGA's purpose was
not to "dole out funds." Glass said.
SGA's official budget was presented by budget chairman Jim
Perry who gave an unofficial list
last week. The budget for the fiscal
year 1953-5based on total funds of
$4,828
includes $4,500. estimated
revenues: $323, unappropriated surplus; $500, House Presidents' Council; $375 Kentuckian; $188
$650, Student
Directory; $1,870.

$70. yearbook; $205. other miscellaneous; $400. total miscellaneous;
$125. freshman
orientation; $200.
"Stylus:" $200, "The Melting Pot,"
and $20, international relations.
After it was announced that the
Student Directory would be ready
early next week, Jim Lyon asked the
Assembly if it would be possible to
about having traffic lights in- at two intersections.
Lyon, referring to the exit on
Limestone, near the College of the
Bible, and to the exit to Rose St.

Charles Palmer. Judiciary Com- mittee, said that an investigation of

made, and Dean of Men A. D.

said that the city manager of Lex- ington had been asked to place stop
lights at the intersections five years

Leonard de Paur was born in
Summit, N. J., of Freneh-Guiania- n
descent. He attended Columbia Uni-Soversity and the Institute of Musical
Art. After graduation he joined the
Hill Johnson Choir as associate
co:idiutor and toured the country
with that group,
He first attracted public attention
in 1936 when he became musical
rector of the Negro Theatre, a
eral Theater project in New York.
In that capacity, he composed or
arranged the musical scores for such
productions as Orson Well's "Mac- beth" and "Haiti", and the Eugene
O'Neill cycle, "Four Plays of the
Sea."
He entered the Army as a private
in 1942 and later entered Infantry

Evans was so impressed with the

he would like to keep the group aether after the war as a touring

their music was of concert caliber
and tnat he would continue to ar- range ior ana ieaa mc giuu. t
When de Faur was notified of the
chorus' impending transfer to
Europe, he arranged for an audition
when the group passed through New
