City Suggests Aid To Parking Won't Alter Act
A discussion of parking problems on the KU campus and a proposal to amend city ordinances so that dancing would be permitted in establishments selling beer were brought before the City Commission last Tuesday.
The proposal to amend the ordinance was rejected.
Representatives of Harzfelds and Campus West clothing stores asked the commission to help with their traffic problems. Both had asked for installation of parking meters last week.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS
Thursday, Oct. 6, 1955.
The commission had turned down these requests, deciding small groups of parking meters in outlying areas would be too difficult to police.
'Life Or Death Matter'
E. C. Hoagland, secretary of Harzards, described the problem as a "life or death matter for our business."
L. S. Flannery, manager of the A. D. Weaver department store, parent firm of Campus West, said KU students are using the customer parking area provided for Campus West while they attend classes.
To Reopen Stables
The commissioners said they would agree to put a time limit on parking in the Naismith Drive area, if the University police would enforce the limit. They suggested parking meters might be installed, with the profit going to the University to defray the cost of enforcement.
In connection with the proposal to amend city ordinances to permit dancing and selling beer in the same establishment, Roy Moll, proprietor of the Stables, 1401 W. 7th St., said he proposes to reopen the tavern. It was closed during the summer after the area in which it is situated was annexed by the city.
Mr. Moll said he had asked Commissioner John Weatherwax to propose the repeal action, rather than question the legality of the ordinance in court.
Mr. Weatherwax moved to bring the matter up for consideration next week. None of the other commissioners present would support the motion, and is died for lack of a second.
Student ID Cards Not Exchangeable
Student ID cards will not be exchanged for the Iowa State game Saturday because of Parents Day. They will be exchanged for the remaining home games.

64 Feared Dead In Plane Crash Near Laramie
CHEYENNE, Wyo.—(U.P.)—A United Air Lines four-engined DC-4 transport plane enroute from Denver to Salt Lake City smashed into snow-covered 12,-005-foot Medicine Bow Peak in southern Wyoming today apparently killing all 64 persons aboard.
Report of the wreckage, from Lt. Col. E. R. Weed, of the Wyoming Air National Guard, said the four-engineled aircraft apparently had slowed into the 12,005-foot high mountain, Medicine Bow Peak about 35 or 40 miles west of Laramie, Wyo., and then had slid down its rocky east face.
Col. Weed radioed there was no doubt as to the identity of the plane, and no sign of survivors. It was reported that at least 12 United States including five members of the famed Salt Lake City Mormon Tabernacle Choir, were on the United Air Lines skycoach.
The plane had been missing nearly three hours when it was sighted by Col. Weed, flying in an F-80 jet fighter, with Melvin E. Conine as co-pilot
Flight Regan In New York
The airliner, which had taken off from New York last night, was bound for San Francisco. It had landed at Denver at 7:33 am (CST) and taken off for Salt Lake City where it was scheduled to arrive at 10:06 a.m. (CST.)
Before Col. Weed spotted the wreckage on Medicine Bow Peak one of the highest in southern Wyoming's Snowy Range, there had been one earlier report that the missing aircraft had been sighted on Elk Mountain immediately to the north of Medicine Bow.
Air Force Aids Search
The plane's pilot was identified as C. C. Cooke, of Menlo Park, Calif. His co-pilot was Ralph D. Salibury, of Palo Alto, Calif. The stewardess was Patricia Shuttleworth of Salt Lake City.
At Cheyenne, Wyo., state aeronautics director George Nelson said nine planes had been sent into the search.
Air Force AUS Search
The 4th Air Force Rescue
Squadron Lowry Air Force Base
immediately dispatched two SA-16
amphibian search planes to cover
the route the missing plane would
have taken.
Mr. Nelson said the plane's route normally includes both Laramie and Rawlins, Wyo., as well as Rock Springs.
Mr. Nelson said as far as he could learn it did not report in by radio at any of these three airports.
Skies were generally clear but there had been some snowfall last night and early this morning in the high mountain region of northern Colorado and southern Wyoming, around which the plane would have skirted on its flight to Salt Lake City.
Winds of 30 to 40 miles an hour also were reported in southern Wyoming, hampering light plane activity in the search.
The area is the same general region in which a United DC-6 crashed in June, 1951, killing some 50 crew members and passengers near Fort Collins, Colo.
The Air Traffic Control Center in Salt Lake City said the plane carried gasoline to keep it aloft only until 11:18 a.m. (CST). It was officially listed as "overdue" at that time by United Air Lines.
