Surveys Indicate Ban
Not Needed on HUB Lot
Two months ago, when .students returned for the fall
semester, new parking regulations went into effect.
The regulations stated that students who 'had paid
their So registration fee could park after 5:30 p.m. week
days and 12:30 p.m. Saturdays in all lots outside the area
bounded by Burrowes Rd, Curtin Rd. and Shortlidge Rd.
There was one exception to this rule—students could
not park in the lot in front of Recreation Hall.
This basic rule simplified and clarified parking reg
ulations which had been undergoing periodic changes for
the past two years.
The students accepted these night parking regulations
with one exception. They did not l'cel that it was fair to
students or that it was necessary to close the HUB lot.
At Student Encampment in early September, student
leaders registered their objections and suggested that it at
least be opened Monday through Thursday nights.
Albert E. Diem, vice president for business adminis
tration, asked that the new regulations, including the ban
on student parking in the HUB lot, be put on a trial period
till Nov. 15. At that time, he said, the administration would
review and re-evaluate the parking regulations and make
any changes deemed necessary.
Last week Diem said that parking studies had been
made and the administration found no reason to make any
changes in tfie regulations.
However, studies made by a student committee prove
to us that a change is needed in the case of the HUB lot.
In fact, even the survey that the Campus Patrol made
for the administration proves to us that it is not necessary
to dose the lot to students.
Results of this survey were not released, but accord
ing to Stanley H. Campbell, Diem's assistant, the survey
showed that almost one-fourth of the HUB parking area
Is tilled each night.
Our point exactly. Why should the other three-fourths
stand empty?
The Campus Patrol made their survey by driving
through the lot and estimating whether it was one-fourth,
one-half, or three-quarters full.
The SGA Committee on Traffic Code Investigation
made a much more accurate survey. They counted the
number of cars in the lot every hour from 6 to 11 p.m.
every night for eight consecutive days.
There are 216 spaces in the HUB lot. The largest
number of cars ever counted by the committee was 108
(exactly half full) at 7 p.m. on Saturday.
The highest figure on a week night was 89 at 7 p.m.
on Thursday.
The average number of cars using the lot on week
nights at any one time during the span from 6 to 11 p.m.
was about 60.
This is a little over one-fourth the capacity.
Again, we say why should students be deprived of the
privilege of parking next to their own student union while
three-fourths of the lot stands empty?

TICS Defined
As Jr. TOCS
TO THE EDITOR: Before fur
ther confusion arises, I think
a short statement of policy is
advisable.
We are the small sister or
ganization of the well-known
TOCS and are non-politic in
nature. Our full title is: “Tem
porary Indigents in the Con
temptable Scene.’’ Our only
membership requirement is the
wearing of the button: blue
with white lettering.
Since we are younger, our
growth is somewhat more re
stricted, but potential enroll
ment is as high. We stand for
expression of individuality, a
property rapidly disappearing
in the modern age of molded
men.
Answer Sought
TO-THE EDITOR: Since we
did not get any response to our
letter concerning the exchange
dinners during Greek Week, we
can only assume that the party
responsible has no defense for
his actions, thinks it a matter
too small for his concern, or
worse yet, is in favor of it.

New Idea on
TO THE EDITOR: I have been
following with great, interest
the correspondence concerning
the SGA bill giving responsi
bility for campaign publicity
to the Elections Commission.
I thought the arguments ad
vanced in support of the bill
by Miss Williams were par
ticularly cogent. •
There is one aspect of the
bill, hov/ever, which has not
been considered by either side.
Both sides start with the as
sumption that the Elections
Commission which would be
responsible for non-partisan
direction of publicity would
have leadership of a high moral
character and with a desire to
see that right be done.
I am sure that Miss Williams
and others concerned certainly
It's the Little Things
TO THE EDITOR: You know
every year about this,time, if
our team has had a series of
heart-breaking losses, the on
coming gloom of winter seems
to bring along with it a gen
eral apathjc
It seems as though this was
about to happen again this year
—fewer and fewer people were
we found ourselves out-cheered
by the visiting bands at the
W.V. game.
Then, the “little things be
gan to happen"; within a few
days almost everyone was
sporting a “lick ’em, lions” but
ton. A banner on the mall read
“LICK ’EM, LIONS” and a
spirited minded group of guys
called “THE YING YANG
BAND” serenaded the living
areas.
All little - things by them-

had no reason to believe other
wise. Unfortunately I do not
believe this to be the case.
I can think of at least one
personal experience I had with
a person in a position of high
est influence on the Elections
Commission which in my opin
ion indicates the contrary.
I am very sorry fo have fo
inject such a distasteful objec
tion into this debate, but I do
so for two reasons. First, I feel
that students should be aware
of all ihe issues at stake in the
referendum, on which they are
to vote.
Second, I would like the stu
dent leaders of a high moral
caliber (eg. Daily Collegian
staff) to keep a closer watch
on future .campaign proceed
ings if the referendum is
passed.

together, they turn a cold rainy
football Saturday into a bright
victory day.
I would like to applaud not
only ihe efforts of our team
but also the people responsible
for those “little things" and so
three cheers for our Block "S'*
and our cheerleaders. Three
cheers for that brave group of
"Yirig Yangers" and their band.
I think a big hand is due the
gate keepers at the stadium
who temporarily forgot the
rules which keep Frothy and
the cannon and any other rio
tus displays from sneaking in
to the stadium, for allowing
the guys carrying the banners
and displays to pass by them,
and carry that much needed
spark of spirit and excitement
into the stands filled with cold,
shivering, fans.
