He 'Hurts,' But Campus Cop Keeps Tagging Cars
But, to "do my job right," the kindly deputy hands out an average of 50 traffic tickets every day to University students who park in front of orange curbings or leave their cars in the wrong parking zone.
"Td rather cut off my right arm than give a traffic ticket," says Clyde Channel, K.U.'s campus cop.
In spite of an admitted twinge of conscience every time he tags a car, Mr. Channel really likes his work. He's at it from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m., no matter what the weather.
"The job gets me out into the open, gives me plenty of walking, and sure gives me plenty of people to talk to." he explained.
He's never yet had the heart to tag a car while someone is sitting in it He just asks if they plan to leave the car there, and then moves on.
"They always say they'll just be there a minute." he sighed.
Most first offenses get only a warning from Mr. Channel. On the second offense, however, he really gets tough. He has never yet failed to tag a car he's found incorrectly parked more than once.
Since he came to the campus in September, Mr. Channel has seen a "marked improvement" in traffic conditions. He used to hand 125 tickets a day.
Russia Stands Firm In Demand For Bases
London (UP)—An authoritative source said today that Russia was standing firm on her demand for military bases along the Dardanelles, the strategic gateway between the Black and Aegean seas.
Informants said a newly disclosed Soviet note to Britain reflected no change in Soviet policy concerning the straits.
British foreign policy experts fear the question will develop into a major issue between the Soviet and western powers.
A foreign office spokesman refused to comment officially upon the Soviet note at the daily press conference. The situation was discussed briefly off the record.
The gravity with which Britain regards the latest Soviet stand was reflected by the fact that the foreign office kept secret for more than two weeks receipt of the note.
Under the Potsdam decision that the Big Three should make known to Turkey their views concerning the future of the straits, Russian has demanded that she be permitted to "join" Turkey in the defense of the Dardanelles.
Turkey's position was that such an arrangement would involve surrender of Turkish sovereignty over the straits. It was upheld by Britain and the United States.
The Anglo-Americans urged an international conference of powers concerned, including Russia and the United States, to revise the Montreux convention governing the straits. It appeared here that Russia had in effect rejected that suggestion.
AVC To Hear Wheeler

'Only' 50 A Day Break Parking Rules
Income, Excise Taxes May Drop For Next Year
Tickets for parking and traffic violations have been reduced to about 50 a day, Wayne Gugler, parking committee clerk, said Wednesday. During the previous week the average was 60 a day.
Most persons receiving tickets are first offenders, but there are the same "old faithfuls" who keep coming back for more. Gugler said.
Until a fine is paid, a student may not enroll in a new semester or be graduated from the University. Money received from fines is used for the parking program.
Washington. (UP) — Republican tax experts believed today the new GOP-controlled congress would set July 1 for sharp reductions in the stiff wartime excise taxes on jewelry, telephone service, luggage, liquor, and travel fare.
Navy Chaplain To Speak At Presbyterian Church
Present plans don't call for out- right elimination of excise levies but for a cutback to pre-war levels. In some cases, that would mean a 76 per cent reduction from present rates.
Rep. Harold Knutson, (R., Minn.) who will be chairman of the tax-writing house ways and means committee in the new congress, said excise reductions would be made in the second of two tax bills planned for next year.
The Rev. John C. Corbin, former navy chaplain in the Orient, will speak on "Frontiers Today" at the First Presbyterian church at 7:15 p.m. Sunday. The meeting, sponsored by the Westminster fellowship, is open to students of other churches. The Rev. Mr. Corbin had front-line duty during the war. He served in churches in Hershey and Jeannette, Pa., after his graduation from Princeton Theological seminary in 1932.
The first, he said, will be a "quickie" measure after congress meets Jan. 3 for an immediate 20 per cent reduction in personal income taxes. The cut would be retrospective to Jan. 1 and would reduce treasury income by some $3,500,000,000 a year.
The second bill will deal with excise taxes and administrative sections of the present tax laws. No reduction in corporation taxes is contemplated next year.
Representative Knutson did not say when he expected excise reductions to become effective but his aides said it probably would be with the start of the new fiscal year next July 1.
British In Dispute Over Foreign Policy
London. (UP)—The British cabinet met today, probably to discuss a revolt among Labor members of parliament against Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin's foreign policy.
Responsible Laborite quarters acknowledged that Mr. Bevin was in some danger of being overthrown, not so much by direct votes on his foreign policy as by wholesale abstentions.
The parliamentary labor party met Wednesday expressly to compel the rebels to withdraw their amendment to the king's speech, which was written by the cabinet and outlined the program for extending the socialization of Britain.
In the eyes of the critical rank and file, Mr. Bevin was regarded as not irreplaceable. They believed Hugh Dalton could step into his shoes at once and swing Britain's foreign policy more nearly in line with the Labor party's policy as put forth during the election campaign.
Washington. (UP)—The Veterans administration reported today that fewer ex-servicemen applied for unemployment compensation during the week ended Oct. 12 than at any time in the last eight months.
Veterans' Requests Drop For Unemployment Pay
V. A. said that Pennsylvania, where 147,607 veterans got allowances, led all states during October's second week. New York, with 144,708 was second, and Texas with 60,431, was third.
Lake Success, N.Y. (UP)—The little nations rose up in revolt today against the right of the big five powers to block united nations action through the veto, with Cuba calling for a convention to rewrite the voting provisions of the UN charter.

K.U. Women Sign Out For K-State Game
About 80 K.U. women have signed out in the office of the dean of women to attend the Kansas State-K.U. game in Manhattan Saturday.
Each student must list her address, time of departure and return, transportation and escort, and must have the permission of her parents to leave Lawrence. These precautionary measures were taken to require the student's parents to assume equal responsibility with the University, Miss Margaret Habein, dean of women, said.
