Page '4 THE BATTALION Thursday, March 20, 1952 Parking Situation Here Not Serious By CHARLES NEIGHBORS Battalion Staff Writer “We have the same automobile problem as a city of 20,000, but it is not really a big problem,” said Fred Hickman, chief of Cam pus Security, yesterday. Over 12,000 cars have been reg istered since license plates came into existence in 1947, however, only about one third of those cars are on the campus at present. There are 2,500 student cars on the campus each week; naturally this number changes from time to time because of dances and other weekend events which cause an Aggie to “go home and get the car.” Including employee autos in the unofficial census of cars on the campus, the total number of ears per week is raised to over 3,000. Parking Violations Referring to parking violations, Hickman said most results from students driving to class and park ing in restricted areas, either around the MSC or behind one of the class room buildings where the lot is reserved for faculty parking. Our parking problem is not a large one, but building more lots would cost a large amount of money and would take up an equal ly large amount of space. Parking rules are mainly for the minority of students who take advantage of situations in which they are not policed by rules, laws or regulations. “On the whole,” Hickman said, “the largest number of violators come from small towns where there is no parking problem; con- Garden Club Delegation Is Selected Delegates to the 24th Annual Jleeting of Texas Garden Clubs, Inc. to be held in Waco April 15- 17 were elected by the A&M Gai-- den Club Friday at the March meeting. The delegates elected were Mrs. R. E. Snuggs and Mrs. W. W. Afmistead. The schedule for the local spring flower show to be held April 23 in the MSC was discussed. Texas Round-Up will be the theme. Because the Dogwood Trail in Palestine has been damaged by the severe cold last winter and the extreme heat last summer, the club voted to go to the Spring Flower Show in Dallas sometime between April 19-27 for the annual club pilgrimmage. Mrs. C. B. Campbell discussed and gave examples of the princi pals of using foliage textures in floral arrangements. Costal treas ures, drift wood, shells, and coral assembled by Mrs. Carl Landiss and Mi’s. J. R. Oden, were also on display. Mcsdames C. M. Reinoehl, L. S. Dillon, Dick Hervey, and E. L. Williams were hostess at a social houx ; following the meeting. Dalberg Judges FFA Stock Show F. I. Dalberg, Professor of Ani mal Hubandry, served as judge of swine, fat lambs, and steers at the Schu.lenberg Annual FFA show and sale March 12. March 13 he placed sale cattle for the East Texas Hereford Asso ciation at Tyler where 21 females and 74 bulls were entered. Again, on March 15, Dalberg judged for the North East Texas Hereford Association sale in Daingerfield with entries totaling 26 females and 41 bulls. sequently, city-bred Aggies are better able to cope with the some times scarce parking space.” 20-Mile Speed Concerning speeding on campus, Hickman thought the 20-mile speed limit adequate for the protection of student pedestrians if the driv ers would be careful, especially when classes had just been let out or when there was a large crowd at A&M. The fact that quite a large amount of north-south traffic goes by the college on Highway 6, east of the campus, also contributes to our traffic problem to some ex tent. In conclusion, courtesy should bfe the keynote of pedestrian and driv er attitude, if it was then a good bit of our problem would be lick ed immediately, said Hickman. Leipper Named As Research Consultant Dr. Dale F. Leipper, head of Oceanography, A&M Col lege was recently appointed expert consultant on the Pari^ el on Oceanography, Research and Development Board, the De partment of Defense. He attended a meeting Feb. 29 in Washington in connection with this work. Functions of the panel include the review, evaluation, and guid ance of expenditures of defense funds on projects in the field of oceanography. The panel usually meets three or four times a year and the next meeting will be at La Jolla, Calif, in June. This meeting will be held at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography of the University of California. The Panel on Oceanography is a part of the Committee on Geophy sics and Geography. Its member ship consists of representatives of the various branches of the milita ry services and of sevex-al civilian organizations engaged in oceano- graphic work. Di\ Alfx-ed C.

Kream Kow Klub Show Set April 26 The Daii-y Show, sponsored an nually by the Kream and Kow Klub, will be held in the New daix-y headquartex-s April 26. “Pax-ticipation is not limited to daii-y husbandi-y majors,” said Prof. A. L. Darnell, who has been in charge of the show since it ori ginated in 1933. He said the ex perience gained from fitting and showing dairy stock would be in valuable to those planning a ca reer in extension woi'k or voca^ tional agriculture. Twenty-two daii*y majoi’s and one animal husbandi'y majoi' are entered in the contest. These men have picked 48 heifers from the A&M herd, approximately half of these being Jerseys and half Holsteins. The animals will be shown in the following classes: Heifer Calves, Junior Heifer Calves, Junior Heifer Calves, and Sub-junior Heifer Calves. Those who wish to participate, but do not have the time necessary to fit an animal for showing may take part in an extra event, Darnell said. Px-oceeds fx*om the Daii-y Show will help to pay the expenses of the Daii-y Judging Team. item is AGGIES! For Saturday’s DANCE . . . She’ll Be Expecting FLOWERS From the ...
