Double Parking Must Stop
Double parking on the main streets of Lawrence is a leading traffic hazard and a constant invitation for accidents to happen. Someone is to blame for this, and it looks to us as if the Lawrence police are it.
On any day of the week one can see flagrant double parking on Massachusetts street and the thoroughfares close by. Some of the worst examples take place on Eighth street within sight and sound of the police station.
But the policemen pay absolutely no attention to these traffic hazards. Instead, they busy themselves with checking parking over lines, or parking-meter violations. These are infractions which are not dangerous and are relatively trivial.
Not only is Massachusetts street the main street of town but highways run its length. No highway
patrolman would allow parking on the highway "slab." Why should such violations be allowed on a highway just because it is running through town?
The flagrant habit of double parking is undoubtedly a major reason why Lawrence has so many wrecks. No one who has been downtown on Massachusetts street on a Saturday evening and seen the cars lined up bumper to bumper in a double parking line can doubt it. No one who has seen or been in a car trying to thread its way past this traffic block but will agree the practice must be stopped.
Double parking is one of the first traffic dangers which must be stopped by the Lawrence police. Until it is done, Lawrence will continue to be a headache to every law-abiding motorist who is trying to avoid an accident.

Haskell Correspondence Dear Editor,
The "Dear Editor" column of the Daily Kansan, I think, is one of the interesting pages of the paper. However, once in a while there crops up some insignificant little point that causes some controversy.
I refer to the letter of H. R. Haury, Jr., in Monday's Daily Kansan. He mentioned Haskell and used the word "squaw." Apparently Mr. Haury is not familiar with certain fine points of etiquette.
This would prevent him from calling an Italian a wop, or a person from Oklahoma an Okie. Especially would he not do this if the person were a neighbor. Whether he recognizes it or not, Haskell and the University are neighbors in this community.
I live at Haskell and have gone to school at Haskell. During the time I have been here no one has referred to Indian women and girls as squaws.
If Mr. Haury came out to Haskell he would see that none of us here wear any blankets.
Who is that correspondent?
SCHOOL SPIRIT
Dear Editor.
School is off to a start once more, but not as usual. Never before has the University been like it is now. Everywhere there is the air of a real college spirit. The students of the University should be proud of that spirit and keep the record for this semester clean.
Summer session brought a lot of hardworking kids back to the University and was composed of serious minded students. But now we see swarms of playboys and high school bobby soxers taking over the campus as if they were playing a game.
Is that the college spirit of today?
Are there playboys going to study on these nice lovely cool evenings or will they be visiting Potter lake, meeting the "boys" at the local beer "spigot," or taking a "spin" over to "K.C." for a weekly fling?
The hard working, serious-minded student who spent his summer vacation working or attending summer school should be idealized. But not many coeds will turn down a moonlight drive to Lone Star and we must agree that would be more pleasant than being bored by talking about how business is at a downtown store. There just isn't much hope for us serious minded students, is there?
Maybe the essence of all this gaiety will bring a record amount of grade points, but this student has his doubts.
What's your opinion?
Cyrus Simmon,
Sophomore.
