Police Chief Has Role Of Educating Students
Traffic control and the problem of educating the public are major problems confronting the campus police, according to Chief Joe Skillman.
"Student and staff violations are down considerably compared with previous years, Chief Skillman said.
Many Violations
Chief Skillman said that the reason for the decline in violations was that "more and more, year by year there is a better understanding by students and staff members of the need for parking control."
During the fall semester there were 6,945 parking and traffic violations, and 703 city tickets were issued for violations of city ordinances.
"For the most part our violation situation is worst during final week and directly before holidays," he said. He explained that before vacations there is a great influx of cars brought to the campus by students preparing to go home.
Chief Skillman said that the big change in traffic control, that of auto registration, has worked out very well and that his department has received much co-operation from both students and staff.
Chief Skillman said, "The benefit of registration is that we have complete identification so that any student can readily be identified by law enforcement agencies."
He cited an example of how a stolen car was recovered for a student because of his student identification.
Over 7.000 On Campus
Over 7,000 On Campus At the present time there are over 7,000 cars register with the Office Over 5,000 of the cars belong to students, the remainder belong to staff and faculty members.
Chief Skillman said that a small percentage of this registration applies to a duo-registration that results when an applicant changes cars during the year. Also, a small number of students have their cars here for weekends only.
He added that if a car is here for over 24 hours it must be registered with the campus police.
Problem Of Little Space
Chief Skillman said, "The most pressing problem confronting the traffic department is the process of acquainting the students and staff and the public at large with the congested area here on the campus and with the fact that we do provide space for all those who need parking."
He explained that parking spaces are allotted according to the applicant's need. Those who are physically disabled or carry an extremely heavy work schedule are given spaces adjacent to the area in which they work.

The exhibit of North American animals in their natural life zones in the Museum of Natural History should be completed and open to the public by the first of June, according to George Young, taxidermist at the Museum.
The exhibit will contain a sample of game animals of the North American continent from the Arctic to the tropics as well as samples of the vegetation in their zones. They will be set against a backdrop 500 feet long.
"The display is the largest of its kind in the country and probably in the world," Mr. Young said. "Some of the animals are becoming very rare and there are many which are not ordinarily seen in daily living.'
