Corwin The Cop Says Faculty Parking 'Unfair'
By Bibler
With a cry of "unfair", Robert Corwin, campus patrolman, ripped into faculty members and their traffic violations.
The outburst occurred when a University Daily Kansan reporter, hurling discretion to the winds, asked Corwin about his chief gripes. With the semester coming to a close the traffic officer summed up his chief headaches.
High on his list was the fact that some faculty members who are constant violators of parking rules, cannot be touched through normal channels.
"Members of the faculty are just as guilty as students. But they aren't punished for their violations." Corwin declared.
Divided Traffic Rules
Under the present system, he explained, the All Student Council governs students in regard to traffic rules. Faculty members are directly responsible to the University. The student violator is fined two dollars for every parking violation after the first one. The faculty member receives a letter of reprimand after a certain number of violations.
"Right now in the lot behind Lindley there is only room for about 50 cars. The parking committee issued 330 permits for that zone." Corwin said.
"The A.S.C. should protest this situation in the interest of the students. Fines should be imposed against the faculty, the same as against the students," Corwin stated.
WEATHER
Mrs. Gardner was born Jan. 6, 1851, in the province of Schleswig-Holstein when it was a Danish duchy. She came to America in 1859 and has lived in or near Lawrence since. She is survived by her daughter, Miss May Gardner, and a son, Wilbur, of Topeka.
Kansas—Fair with slowly rising temperatures today, tonight and Friday. Low tonight 40 to 45.
Little Man On Campus
Another big headache for the campus patrolman this spring has been the shortage of parking space. With the construction program which is under way, many of the regular parking zones have been closed. Corwin estimated that 25 percent of the parking space on the campus has been closed.
Corwin sadly shook his head when we mentioned the control of intersection traffic.
Only 50 Can Park
"Standing there at Jayhawk drive and Mississippi street, I sometimes wonder how students keep from getting killed. Especially those women . . . . . . " he failed to finish the sentence.
When asked about parking tickets, the traffic officer immediately referred to Clyde Channel. Channel is the man who can be seen any day with his foot on a car bumper as he madly scribbles on a little red ticket. Channel averages 75 little red tickets a day. Since February he has passed out 4,439 of the little gadgets.
Mrs. Minnie W. Gardner, 96, mother of Miss May Gardner, professor of Spanish, died Tuesday evening from the effects of a fall which occurred six weeks ago, in which she broke her hip. Funeral services will be held at 4 p.m. today at the Trinity Episcopal church with the Rev. Donald O. Weatherbee officiating. Burial will be in Oak Hill cemetery.

Moore Will Rub Elbows With Nation's Top Brass
The K. U. student who once sold magazines in front of Sardi's in Los Angeles now has a record of being one of K. U.'s greatest orators and, is about to rub elbows with the nation's top brass.
Jean Oliver Moore, first year Law student, will fly to New York when school is out to attend a three-day session of the United Nations as one of two student delegates. The trip is his award for his outstanding contribution to the Mid-American College congress held recently in St. Louis. Will Meet Truman
When he gets settled at the Waldorf Astoria he will begin his round of appointments with some of the nation's administrators including President Truman and Secretary of State George C. Marshall.
This young man with the shock of straight reddish brown hair and redder mustache will observe the UN conference to pick up ideas for the Intercollegiate United Nations conference that will be held at K.U. next year. He was elected president of this organization at the 1947 conference at the University of Missouri.
Moore hopes to bring Mr. Truman, Secretary Marshall, former secretary of state James Byrnes, and Donald C. Blaisdell of the state department here for the conference.
"If the cards are played right this could develop into a big thing," he said. "The state department has shown a great interest in it, because they want to use the organization as a training ground for state department workers."
This tall shrewd young man should go far if his college career is any indicator. He has already gone 13,000 miles doing oratory and debate work for the University. Has 11 Debate Wins
He piled up 11 out of 15 debate victories at what is considered the toughest forensic tournament, the Missouri Valley conference. He has won both the debate and oratory awards at this conference and that record has been held by just three other persons in the entire conference. He came to K.U after being declared champion of 28 states in the American Legion oratorical contest. On his travels for the University debate team he has gone to New York twice, Texas, Arkansas, Iowa, Missouri and many Kansas towns.
With his friend and colleague, Orville Roberts, he went to West Point Military academy and earned national recognition for K. U. by defeating the military debate team.

University Pays Tribute To Its 257 War Dead
Memorial Day, 1947—more than five years since our first war dead were losing their lives at Pearl Harbor; four years since those whom we honor were dealing telling blows to the Nazi machine in Cologne and along the Rhine; three years since our men were regaining Attu; two years since our army was making a final push along the Italian front.

"We are cleaning out our files, and we will discard the applications of all those people who don't notify us," said Mr. Tompkins.
"Since the end of the telephone strike, the number of jobs to be filled has increased greatly. There are openings for part time as well as full time work."
Four Pennys Always On The Campus
The four Penny brothers attending the University this year are Junius, Paul, Stanley, and Charles. Junius will graduate this spring, Stanley is a sophomore, and Paul and Charles are freshmen. All except Charles, who is 19, were in the service.
The University is worth at least four Pennys.
gather make a formidable-looking foursome. According to Junius, they seldom have trouble with people confusing one brother with the other, even if three of them are in the engineering school.
Junius, oldest of the boys, is married and has two little Pennys of his own. Better watch for them; they're undoubtedly K.U. material!
However, for days after the K.U.-Nebraska game, when Charles was carried off the field with a head injury, all the boys were asked. "How's your head today, fella?"
The fellows look nothing alike, except that they are all big and to-
Long-time residents of Lawrence, the boys are the sons of Mr. and Mrs. M. N. Penny. As far as can be ascertained from the records, it is the first time in the history of the University that four members of the same immediate family have attended classes at the same time.
Three of the boys have decided to follow in the footsteps of their father, who was a senior engineer in 1919, and are majoring in civil engineering. Paul, just to be different, is in the College.
As in the past, the true significance of the day will fade, just as the memory of friends who gave up their lives will eventually escape from our minds in years to come. But this year, while the print of war is still firm in our minds, the meaning of the day can best be realized as we see the names of some friend, a former roommate, or even a relative who gave up his life such a short time ago.
Here are the 257 men and women from the University to whom
they are indebted.
