PAGE 2 College Station (Brazos County), Texas Wednesday, September 26, 1956 Take Your Choice Parking capacity for the lot east of Dorm 11, commonly known as the “Navagota Lot”, is 278 cars. A count made yesterday morning before class time showed the lot to hold only 249 cars with no space left. Since costs for building parking lots figures at $30 per car, $870 in parking space is going to waste. This is being caused by the poor parking habits of the individuals using the lot. In order to make full use of the parking space there, the cars must be parked at a 90 degree angle to the dividing lines running the length of the lot rather than the current trend of diagonal parking. There are three ways of correcting this situation. One would be for the Campus Security officers to give tickets to all owners of cars improperly parked in the lot. Another would be for the college officials to pass down a ruling limiting the number of cars on this campus as they do at the University of Texas. The easiest solution lies within the power of the stu dents. Just take a little more time and park the car at a 90 degree angle.

Tyler firemen battled the blaze for two hours before bringing it under control, but not before the flames had spread and collapsed the roof in five stores adjoining in the center. The building was owned by the Curtis Realty Co. of Tyler. A. B. Curtis, one of the owners, said there was $100,000 insurance on the building. No estimates on stock losses in the five stores were immediately available, but observers familiar with the stores believed it would be close to one million dollars. There were no injuries. The fire started in the Village Cleaners. N. R. Ferguson, an em ployee said a jar of cleaning fluid exploded near a boiler. He said the flames immediately engulfed the entire shop. Smoke from the fire could be seen five miles from the city for nearly two hours. A portion of wall on a super market collapsed as the roof caved in. Rice Elected Head Of Sociology Club James L.
