Attribute 'Run-Down' Feeling to Lack Of Parking Space
That "run-down" feeling you get one of these mornings as you walk street can be attributed to two things. There are 800 cars plus some without parking permits—rushing to find a parking ace. And there aren't enough parking spaces.
the University maintains 12 auto-
working areas, on motorcycle zone,
on bike rack.
The job of the traffic office does not end with the setting up of the ramp system. It also has established certain rules and regulations. These include parking within 12 inches of the curbing, no double parking, and parking on the right and side of the street. Exceptions to the last ruling are in zones E and D.
And there is still a parking problem, according to H. L. Swartz, author for student funds, who also adds the permit problem.
The 800-odd permits issued by vartz this year are still about 100 ort of 1950-51. He attributes this ainly to the decrease in University rollment.
When are the permits required?
Permits are valid only in the zone designated. They must be attached to the rear license plate of a car.
From 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. From 8 a.m. to noon, Saturday. At any other time the zones are free.
Other rulings established include no parking at any time along curbs painted red. There is no parking at any time on Memorial drive.
The Journalism building was originally built for a chemistry building in 1883.
For those who drive without permits—and consequently fall heir to "first warnings"—applications for permits are accepted in the parking committee office in Robinson gymnasium.

Miss Johnson's entry was printed in the State Journal on the Vox Pop page under a column entitled My Vacation. Her article told about a journey over the Alaskan highway which she called "the most exciting trip in North America." She received the second place award of $10.
Miss Johnson is new to the K.U.
faculty this fall. Last year she taught
at Salina High school. Her home

Coal Balls Found Helpful In Studying Age-Old Plants
Dr. Robert W. Baxter, assistant professor of botany, defines them as being masses of stems, leaves and spores of age-old plants imbedded within a mass of calcium and magnesium carbonate.
You've heard of baseballs, footballs and snowballs, but have you ever heard of coal balls? They're not anything new. In fact they have been around about 250 million years.
The coal balls are occasionally found around coal mining areas and are particularly abundant in southeastern Kansas, according to Dr. Baxter, who has made many trips to that area in search of them.
They are of no economic value but are extremely useful to paleobotanists in reconstructing the flora of past ages. Extremely thin layers or peels are cut from the interior of the
Dr. Baxter has written an article, "Coal Balls—New Discovery in Plant Petractions from Kansas." It will appear in the December issue of "Transactions of Kansas Academy of Science."
coal balls and studied under microscopes...
Information gathered in this manner has led paleobotanists to believe that much of this area was once a gigantic swamp, covered with seed-bearing ferns the size of trees. The area was extremely damp but not necessarily tropical, Dr. Baxter said.
Compressions of such plants can be easily found around the spillway at Lone Star lake, according to Dr. Baxter. A little digging will yield numerous plant impressions in shale and sandstone.
Both the coal balls and the compressions are remains from the Pennsylvanian age. They are much older than plant remains found in western Kansas of sycamore, willow and poplar trees. During this later period, animals such as dinosaurs were present, he said.
