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 Stores
Badly Damaged
In Costly Fire
TYLER, Tex.—UP) — Five
stores in a shopping - center
were destroyed by fire when
a jar of cleaning fluid ignited
in a cleaning shop yesterday.
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.
