Parking Policy Reform
"With obvious exceptions, parking is a privilege, not a necessity."
-KU Parking Regulations
Just what does the Traffic and Security Department consider an "obvious exception?"
According to KU personnel involved with parking facilities, priority is given to persons with medical or health problems, then space is doled out using a vague system of seniority in the University community.
Everyone is familiar with the results of such a system. The second most infuriating occurrence in the world is walking to your ear and seeing the University's little blue valentine on your windshelf.
The first most infuriating occurrence is walking to your car and seeing it being towed away.
The moment of true maturity for any KU student is when he has accumulated enough tickets to reach the $16 fine plateau, and anyone who reaches the maximum $110 fine for 11 tickets in a semester is to be admired for his stubbornness and pitted for his poverty.
Grumble, gripe, bitch. bitch. that is all one hears about the parking system, and yet no one has really attempted to change the situation.
The last ray of hope came in 1968. A federal judge in Arizona ruled that campus parking fines on the University of Arizona campus were a violation of the separation of powers doctrine; he said only courts of law could levy fines.
a wave of hope surged across the KU campus, but it was quelled by administration insistence that the Board of Regents' rules allowed parking fines. And the matter, unfortunately, was forgotten.
The University Senate Trafic and Security committee is now toying with a change in parking permit allocations. One system would use the computer (that marvelous panacea of all woes) to compute the best parking location for each applicant. Each applicant's needs would be fed to the computer, and it would sagely advise where the student should be allowed to park. Big deal; it won't change much.
Another idea is to create new zones in
concentric circles that would center on Strong Hall. An applicant would be assigned to a certain concentric circle and could park in any lot in that ring. If there were no spaces available, he could park in a lot in any outer ring.
That's a better idea; the student would then have the opportunity to choose the parking space closest to his destination.
But both suggestions seem to miss a major parking problem—night time parking. Almost any coed will admit her uneasiness, or outright fear, about walking aeris campus at night. (Yes, rapes and attacks do occur on campus—more frequently than KU officials like to admit.)
Parking is woefully lacking, especially around Watson Library. There are plenty of lots, but they are closed until '11 p.m. to cars with no permits, coincidently the library's closing time. "J" Zone behind the Buildings and Grounds headquarters is open, but it is ridiculously small and often partially filled with B & G vehicles.
So many students, especially coeds,
decide to take the chance and park in a
restricted zone. The result is a blue
ticket, sometimes with a $12.50 towing
charge to boot.
In addition to the library victims, plenty of students who work late in Marvin and Flint Halls will gladly explain that lots behind those buildings are often almost empty at night, and their cars still get ticketed and towed.
Admittedly, the daytime parking restrictions are necessary. But the circumstances at night border on the absurd. There is no reason for entire lots near Summerfield, Malott, Fraser, Blake, Flint, Marvin and Strong Halls to be completely closed until 11 p.m. Those closed lots constitute a colossal waste of space and force many students into dangerous and-or costly situations that could be avoided if the restricted lots were either partially or completely opened after 5 p.m.
Such a policy might cost Traffic and Security and Elm's Texaco Service some business. But KU buildings were built for student use, and a number of closed, empty lots should not exist to discourage students from using the facilities.

Pay Increase Too Low
Faced with burgeoning class loads and increasing academic responsibilities, KU's faculty were dealt a low blow last week in the form of a one per cent pay increase.
Falling far short of the University's suggested eight per cent increase, the Governors one per cent raise is the smallest raise since 1960 when the Governor's father, George, asked for a freeze in salaries.
This year's "raise" is particularly distressing when compared to the projected increase in the cost of living which is estimated to climb between five and six per cent.
Across the nation, faculty salary increases are expected to jump some three to five per cent.
It is a sad comment on our situation that KU can't even meet the national

minimums. Although KU has by tradition fallen short of the national norm, the discrepancy has never been this severe—or at a more crucial time.
Not like a building or piece of property, the University cannot long survive in a state of disrepair and disregard. That stuff of which great universities are made crumbles quickly and finally when the spirit of the University dies.
Without question, a significant measure of this University's spirit is its faculty.

Since the 1950's, however, the so-called fishing war has been an irritant in the relations between the United States and its Latin American neighbor.
It began taking on proportions of a major irritant this year when Ecuador alone levied fines for stealing the ice cream base totalling more than $500,000.

As much as a need to define international fishing limits, the dispute points up the need for American to re-examine ocean resources. As of today there is no international agreement except that reached by the United Nations last year after the collapse of a dam destruction from the ocean floor.

Seized Boats a Problem

In olden days, as you may
Since 1961, Ecuador and Peru have seized something like 100 U.S. fishing boats and fined their owners more than $1 million for violation of "territorial waters" which both claim run 200 miles to
I've often heard the criticism that my generation takes itself too seriously. Usually, I'm inclined to respond by saying, these problems are just problems that must be met with seriously arrived at solutions.
Is that why the Wheel sells so much beer on Friday afternoons? It's got to be. How otherwise would a large gathering of information at that serious, nuber procession that appears to happen in the buildings up on the hill, into the sardine-packed, smiling, talking, laughing, holding containers that appear at week's end?

In view of his disagreement with some commission reports, Press Secretary Donald Trump has appointed to appoint another commission. But I say that him bit me.
There should be an immediate recommendation by his presidential commission, to answer these questions and also determine whether bolt biting was involved.

"Love Story" is a straight story. It is a beautiful, emotional book that shows perfectly in just 125 pages.

Erich Segal, author of "Love Story," has accomplished a very remarkable feat. He has written
a bestseller about college students that is clean, non-violent and a joy to read.

makes this tired old plot fresh and sparkling. Indeed, most of the books he wrote about between Oliver and Jenny that is so real the reader can almost hear them talking. The book, in its original form, was a screen play.
It is virtually impossible to be certain of becoming totally involved. In fact, for most readers it will be hard to understand the reader with the feeling that he has experienced a very different experience and feels quite betrayed when he discovers everyone else who has read the book feels the same way.
