Officials Checking Parents' Permits for Student Cars
Owners Asked to Repor to Office of Men's Student Adviser This Week
PARKING UNAFFECTED
"Students who are maintaining cars at the University and who have not turned in their work should turn them in this week at the office of the men's student adviser." Raymond Nichols, executive vice chairman to the Chancellor, said this morning.
An investigation is being conducted by the Chancellor's office and the office of the men's administration, who carried cams and car permits. According to action of the Board of Regents, no student must keep a cam permit until he or she has signed it by his parent or guardian. A letter explaining this action was sent to the university before the beginning of school this fall.
Students who signified their intention to maintain cars but who have not yet turned in permits had been being called into the Cannellino's office for questioning. Many have changed their minds and others have not. The cannellino's office must know this, however.
This investigation is not concerned with those who have permits to park on the campus, although none of the permits of the owners of those cars may be investigated. It is mainly concerned with those who signaled at the entrance to keep cars, and have taken to further action in the matter.

Speaks on Fossil Record
H. H. Lane Explains Geological Phenomenon to Freshman Engineers
"We rely on our record of evolution upon three sources: evidence from fossil record, evidence from domesticated plants and animals, and evidence derived from the fossil record," Prof. H. H. Lams, in speaking to the freshman engineers this morning.
"In the fossil record," said Professor Lane, "we have ages depicted by the fossils. They are deposited in the sedimentary rocks of the earth's crust. Every form of life, from the smallest one coded creature to huge dinosaurs, has left its trace in our fossils."
Professor Lare stated that Kansas, at one time was a huge jungle once had great birds of elephants, and at least eight varieties of the rhinoceros.
To illustrate the help which our scientists have received from present research, we know that from the elemental wild crab plant, we now have over 500 varieties.
Prof. R. L. Grider will speak to the engineering lectures class Thursday Nov. 5, on mining engineering.
