Ail Um'vi.ity Cabinet Thuisday 014111 made
a a u c dei i ,1011 it stayed out of campus politics
li did tins by striking three recommendations
horn a lepoil on the University's parking prob
lem. The jepoit ua- mbmilted to Cabinet Maich
t by Thomas Live. Lion paity candidate for
All IJmveiMU vice pre.id*ml It was tabled at
tfial tune,
Dye, as has been pointed out before, apparent
ly was politically motivated when he took the
report to Cabinet. It was advance publicity for
what was later to become a plank in the Lion
party plaitorm. He was clever.
Dye. and piobubl.v othei members of the
parts, appnienll.v spent mans houts piepanng
the lepoit, wlni ii was cleverly written.
It told us we have a parking problem. This
everyone knows whether he has a car at the
University or not without anyone having to
toll them.
The Umvcisity does have a parking pioblem.
And paikmg problems ate not peculiar to the
UmveiMtv Uondieit'- of towns and cities have
them
The ii port told 1;., we - hould make land which
l- not at present in use, but planned for in the
I'mveisitv's long-range building progiani, avail
able to parking This land, undoubtedly, would
be ,1 long walk fiom center t-anious.
This idea wa.s discussed last September at
Student Encampment. The Committee on Regu
lations, Controls, and their Enforcement recom
mended “eonsideration of a cinder parkin'.’ lot
to be constructed on the periphery of campus.
It would he financed by a uniform fee for all
campus parking aieas."
Although this niiiv seem feasible at first
glance, there are more hitches than meets the

There’s Been a Dead
The All-University Cabinet committee on
Sunday Night Recreation was formed to study
“the problem" of the Sunday night recreation
piogram at Recreation Hail. “The problem,"
the lepoit said, is that nobody goes.
Hut the committee did not study the question
of whether there actually is a problem of Sun
day nigbt recreation, or whether the Rec Hall
program should be continued at all.
Richard Schrigcr, committee chairman, in his
repot-i presented a lengthy list of factors which
he said were causing the lack of participation
in the program.
Among these were movie competition from
Osmond and the borough, fraternity compe
tition, sponsorship of lectures and discussions
by religious organisations, and the fact that
Sunday night tends to be a good night for
studying.
These points themselves argue the discon
tinuance of the program on the 1 grounds that it
is quite unnecessary.
Director of Associated Student Affairs George
X,. Donovan pointed out at Thursday’s Cabinet
meeting that the facilities of the Hetzel Union
Building offer further competition to the pro
fit am- . ,
The committee came up with several recom
mendations for alleviating the attendance prob
lem, among which were an increase in publicity
for the activities, correspondence to student
Safety Valve
Infirmary Campaign
TO THE EDITOR: I have been confined in the
infirnmry since the beginning of the current
political campaign and will, in all probability,
be here until it closes. I would, therefore, like
to breach the gup between myself and as many
of you as I can through this medium.
.Some of you probably know that I am an
athlete, however. I am also a student. It is as a
student and a Lion party candidate for a stu
dent government office that I am writing this
letter. 1
The parly thinks my qualifications meet the
requirements necessary for a candidate and it
is only for this reason that they chose me to
run on their ticket. It is unnecessary to list
these qualifications here since they appear in
our campaign literature.
I feel that this letter is necessary because:
since I am a candidate there is the slightest
possibility of my winning even without cam
paigning. If this happened. I would always feel
that 1 had won a popularity contest and this is
exactly what the Lion party and I are trying
to avoid. The common belief around the Uni
versity is that student government is on the
decline and a victory of this nature would tend
to strengthen this opinion.
Therefore. I -am not appealing to you for the
Sympathetic or popularity vote, but for the in-

For when we said a long walk from center
campus, we should have said hike; and what a
mess it would be in the monsoon season: and it
would be too costly to cinder and recinder a
temporary area.
The latter two points were expressed by Rob
ert Baluenburg. junior class president and
Campus parly candidate for All-University
president, at Thursday's Cabinet meeting.
The report further recommended that the
Council of Administration consider a long-range
program for increasing parking facilities.
The University is now considering it. It
would, as George L. Donovan. Cabinet adviser,
said be foolish to recommend to the Council
something that ii is already aware of and at
tempting to do something about.
So Dye threw this politically-hot report to
Cabinet which acted wisely in striking out
most of it.
Cabinet members, we believe, realize there is
a parking problem and want to alleviate it
as much as most students and the Council of
Administration.
But they realize the problem also facing the
University. This includes lack of money and
space.
They also seemed to realize the political im
plications of the report. This was shown by the
discussion.
AU-Universily President Earl Seely, how
ever, acted wisely in attempting to keep politi
cal implications out of the discussion.
Cabinet members should not just be com
mended for turning down a good report which
said little but also for staying out of politics.
They acted wisely.
Horse in Rec Hall
organizations such as fraternities, sororities,
and dormitories, and the formation of a com
mittee consisting of members or representative
campus organizations to plan a definite pro
gram for Sunday evenings.
These recommendations, also, fail to recog
nize the fact that the entire program is out
moded and superfluous, and that the last men
tioned suggestion would add even further super
fluity to the situation.
The Sunday night Rec Hall program was de
signed and put into operation at a time when
Sunday evening recreation facilities at the Uni
versity were at a low ebb. Obviously, the situ
ation no longer exists.
Thus, there is no reason why the program
should exist, and no reason why the committee
should exist, and no reason why further com
mittees should be formed to, “beat a dead
horse," to use the phrasing of Dean of Men
Frank J. Sitnes.
Cabinet tabled the 'report for further study,
suggesting that the committee study the possi
bility of adding further facilities in which wom
en might take part to the program, and to in
vestigate whether the continuance of the pro
gram is at all worthwhile.
The latter suggestion is by far the more sen
sible of the two. -
Let’s bury the dead horse, if it won't get up
and go.

Today we’re going to do a book review. Wait! Don’t go back
to Bibler; you already read him. We hasten to add that it's going
to be a joke book review—that is, a review of a joke book.

some of the better ones.
