Where to Park?
A disgruntled day student hiking from the parking
spaces located off Farm-to-Market Road 60, the main street
at North Gate, was heard to say, “I paid $3 to park in Si
beria.”
Things aren’t quite that bad, but his statement isn’t
too far from wrong in relation to the parking problem exist
ing on the campus for students, faculty members and staff
personnel.
Day students only have two lots to park in—both lo
cated at extreme ends of the campus, behind the Geology
Building and G. Rollie White Coliseum. There is a secondary
lot off Farm-to-Market Road 60, almost a half-mile from the
center of the campus.
Some faculty and staff members face almost as much of
a walk trying to get from where they park their car to their
offices or classrooms.
There is a splution to the problem if remedial steps will
be taken now.
Several large plots of ground on the campus are used
solely for growing grass:
• THE DRILL FIELD.—Used at the most three times
per year, this space is located in the heart of the campus
and would be invaluable to serve students, faculty, staff and
VISITORS going to the Memorial Student Center, the YMCA
Building, the Coke Administration Building, the Academic
Building, Nagle Hall, Guion Hall, Kyle Field, G. Rollie White
Coliseum, the Electrical Engineering Building, the Physics
Building and Goodwin Hall.
• GUION HALL.—The area on both sides of Guion
Hall are used for nothing but pathways to and from classes.
This area would make lots to serve as an overflow area for
parking space on the Drill Field.
• AGRICULTURE - SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION
BUILDINGS SPACE.—This large plot of ground between
the Agriculture Building and the System Administration
Building serves no useful purpose. Its location would make
an ideal place for parking for people using the Agriculture
Building, the Texas Highway Research Center, the Civil En
gineering Building, the System Administration Building and
other buildings in the immediate area.
• DORMS 1-2.—The area between the North ends of
Dorm 1 and 2 and the street would provide parking space for
some cadets who live in these dormitories and are forced to
park in the Navasota and the new Hempstead Lots.
©—CHEMISTRY ..BUILDING.—Located behind the
Chemistry Building, this lot would increase the size of the
idjanct small lot presently in existence.
© TRIGON.—Although small, the area behind the Tri-
gon would accomodate a small number of cars driven by
people using buildings in the center of the campus.
The only way for students, faculty members and staff
personnel to get action is to ACT.
Talking the problem will solve nothing if no action is
taken by the persons most in need of the added parking
facilities.
Letters, petitions and personal appeals can do the job,
jut it must be done now in order to get something done be
fore bad weather can cause delays in preparing the new lots.
A temporary covering of gravel or caliche would serve
to make the lots serviceable until money is available for
permanent improvements.
The Battalion will serve as a collection point for letters
and petitions and will see that they are presented to the
proper authorities for action.
More than 7,000 signatures demanding action can do
some good . . . !

Has No Comment
On Van Doren Case
New York — (AP) — Dist. Atty.
Frank S. Hogan refused to con
firm or deny reports today that
Charles Van Doren and Hank
Bloomgarden had admitted that
they received both questions and
answers prior to their appearances
on the NBC-TV quiz show Twenty-
One.
The New York Times also quot
ed Van Doren as saying: “I think
that Monday is only five days
away. Pm not in a position to
start talking about it now. It
would put me in such a terrible
light, not only with Congress, but
with the other newspapers to
whom I have refused to speak that
I feel I must say, ‘No comment.’ ”
Van Doren, who won $129,090
on Twenty-One, now dropped by
NBC, is scheduled to testify next
week in Washington before a
House special subcommittee.
Bloomgarden, who won $98,500
on the quiz show, was quoted by
the Times as saying: “You go
ahead and print what you want.
I don’t intend to get into an argu
ment about it. I have no comment
as to whether I received any help.”
Bloomgarden has not been in
vited to testify before the House
committee.
