Page 4 THE BATTALION Thursday, January 8, 1953 ‘The Old D.J.’ Parker Spins Discs, Perks Coffee for Morning Show The first sound heard by many students every morning is the Voice of the old D. J., Charlie Parker as he spins records over radio station WTAW on his own disk Jockey show. The electrical engineering major says “I begin my Coffee Club pro gram early at 6:45 a. m., so I can wake everybody up including the chickens.” Well known to his some 8,000 listeners as “ the old D. J.”, Park er lends a personal air to the show by percolating coffee for background atmosphere while blowing smoke rings into the mic rophone. The program consists of “mood” music by such orchestras as Fred Waring for the first portion of his 75 minute Coffee Club pro gram. He then switches the style to recent hit tunes. “I am a big Billy May fan,” Parker says: “High Noon” and “Charmaine” are my favorites. I haven’t heard a Billy May record that I don’t like. I had the plea sure of meeting and talking to him back stage after a recent concert he played at Guion Hall. DISC JOCKEY—Charlie Parker spins a platter on his morning program, “Coffee Club”, over WTAW. The pro gram is heard Monday through Saturday from 6:45-8 a. m.

Parking Lots (Continued from Page 1) the committee said. Tickets will be given to cars which continue to park at the outside of entrances into the dormitory three and five parking lot. The committee said many stu dents did not know the procedure required in using the car lots. If the car is supposed to be parked in the 3-4 lot and it is full, then the cars ai'e supposed to be placed in the dormitory 11 parking lot. Should this be full, the committee said, the cars can park on the street behind Duncan Hall. Regularly there are 464 cars which park in these parking lots and 184 others which are tempor arily on the campus. Chief Hick man said that there is parking space for only 512 cars in these lots. Dormitories Open Between Semesters “In all probaSility, dormitories will not be locked during the week between terms,” said Harry Boyer, director of the housing office. Nothing definite has been de cided about locking the dormitor ies, Boyer said. He will announce the decision next week. PREPARE NOW...
