Former President Will Not Accept Republican Nomination, States Article
TO SUPPORT HOOVER
Former President Calvin Coolidge has just written a magazine article which is generally construed here as a statement of Mr. Hoover. Mr. Coolidge was regarded as having indicated a desire that he be eliminated from consideration.
Washington, Sept. 29—(UP)—the biggest potential obstacle to the renomination of President Hewer appeared in the opinion of most political leaders on Friday and was recounted today.
The article in the issue of the Saturday Evening Post appearing on the news stands was the subject of discussion among the reporters who were eagerly sought. They were seized at the White House early in the morning. Jouffre Shouse, executive chairman of the Democratic National Committee, sent out for a copy as soon
The article is not yet released for newspaper publication. Its importance arises from the fact that the chief posse of President Hoover would be the possibility that former President Coolidge would permit himself to be brought back into active politics. Many of his friends had urged him to permit them to go work.
Friends of President Hoover who became annoyed at the constant talk of drafting Cooleid undertook recently to sound out the former President and returned convinced that Mr. Cooleid should宴待 his friends to take no such course.
Publication of the magazine article was generally regarded as delimitely closing the door to the possibility of any such situation arising.

New Parking Plan Goes Into Effect Thursday Morning
LEY CONTINUES TREE-SITTING DESPITE APPEALS FROM LIND
Although from last accounts Ley's most recent perch is in an unfrequented place she remains gracious, indeed, to callers and greet them with frequent visits. She also invites the old "Rock-Chalk, Jayhawk, K, U" coming from the topmost branches of an elm tree may draw the conclusion that Ley is still undaunted and intends to break the tree sitting and . . . at least that set by a parrot.

Lev. too, has taken to tree sitting.
With a record of two clyde September nights and two slightly warmer days, Ley, one of the pair of land and sea chairs at the Chancellor and Mrs. E. H. Lindley, is still holding her own in one of the topmost branches of a tree just east of
Lind was the first of the pair to take up tree-sitting, some time ago, but her more record of a day and a night is matched with acorn by her talkative cavernate.
Ley escaped from her cage Sunday evening and has been at liberty since. All day Monday she entertained herself by greeting students on their way up the stairs to the gym, from the ground with pleasure but somewhat resented close attention. Yet, Ley has played the game in a sportmanlike manner. She encites her prospective capturer by sitting quietly in a distance which is to slight for one
Through the work of the University parking committee, composed of representatives from the Men's Student Council, the Women's Self Governing Association, and the University faculty, a proposal of zoned parking areas has been submitted. This adopted measure divides the campus into three defined parking zones.
Permits for the use of these areas are being issued by the parking committee from applications for such space from employers. The applicants may be approximately 200 permits have been issued to date, according to Henry Werner. A permit estimate is difficult to determine."
300 PERMITS ISSUED
The three zones set aside by the committee are as follows: zone 1 includes the space around the Friar's hall and back of the Library; zone 2 includes the space around and in back of the Chemistry building; and zone 3, the area in back of Mavin hall.
Zoning Idea of Committee Divides Campus Into Three Restricted Vehicle Areas
Dr. J. R. Wetherbeer of Eugene, Ore., visited his sister, Mrs. W. A. D. Mill, dawn afternoon and evening, on his way to Oregon. Doctor Wetherbee was director of physical education at the University of Oregon. Professor Strong, professor of law here, was president of that institution. Doctor Wetherbeer then took his brother. He says trans-Atlantic travel is very light, the passengers now being insufficient to pay for the journey.
The committee also declared that no fixed or regular parking space will be given any person for his exclusive use. You will become effective on Thursday.
Stop Here on Way From Paris
The permits, as they are issued, will be good only in certain zone areas. Zone 1 will be used by persons having inclusive use andZone 2 will be open to those having permits from numbers 1 to 120 inclusive; and Zone 3 permits numbered 1 through 120. Werner, in a statement today, declared that Zone 2, covering the space around Zone 1, is clearly not appropriately filed. Those persons receiving permits in this particularly congested area were awarded their permits according to the course of action as presented before the committee.
"this zoning movement," Mr. Werner said, "is being done in the interest of those who absolutely need parking space on the campus. There will be no overloading on the campus this year; it has been the purpose of such a move."
390 Permits Issued
Although permits are now being issued for use in these zoned areas, those who have not yet $\bullet$ applied will be given future opportunity to apply. Applications for the permits have been received by the committee for the past day.
Zone Plan Carried Out

Mrs. Lindley believes that Ley is able to tire of her new freedom, now. Although from outward appearance she looks a lot more nearer the ground this moon and gave the impression that with much effort she might again notice, again sometime, she might relent and come down. Negotiations have been in order the greater part of the after-effects. The affair believes that Ley may sacrifice her prospective record as a tree-raiser, as she has already outsidethouse.
