Where Can We Appeal?
During the regular school year a student who feels he has wrongly been given a ticket may appeal to the Student Court. If he is not satisfied with the decision handed down by this body, he may further appeal to the Disciplinary Committee.
Due to the fact that so many regular students leave the campus during the summer months, neither the Student Court nor the Disciplinary Committee function.
Keith Lawton, director of physical plant operations and chairman of the Traffic and Parking Committee, said his committee has absolutely nothing to do with the student appeals.
Where does this leave the student who wishes to appeal a parking ticket? It leaves him out in the cold, that's where. Our student can't wait until the fall semester to appeal his ticket because he can't re-enroll without paying his fine.
This is the way the situation stands. We feel something should be done about it.The question is what?
There are several possibilities.
1. The Traffic and Parking Committee might endeavor to collect the remnants of the student court and the Disciplinary Committee, add to these to make up the full number which is supposed to be on the committee for the remaining month of the summer session.
2. The Dean of the School of Law might be allowed to appoint a panel of judges to fill out the remaining time. (We feel that this would be the best solution.)
3. The Traffic and Parking Committee, if they would agree, might assume the responsibility of deciding on appeals. Since there is no student representation on this committee during the summer, we would be least in favor of this proposal.
There are three possibilities. If we can think up three, surely the University can think up many more. We sure wish they would.

Parents Help Forward Education
During the last school year a group of parents in a Cleveland, Ohio suburb organized after-school classes to give their children what the public schools did not—foreign language instruction and an intensive program of science.
The elementary schools in the town of Lakewood, Ohio, offer all basic subjects plus special work for bright children, but a number of parents were not satisfied that their children (most classed as bright) were being challenged enough by the tasks put before them in the public schools.
Science and foreign language were the areas seen to be lacking. Suggestions for improvements in the curriculum were turned down by school officials, so the parents went to work to remedy the deficiency themselves.
Seventeen youngsters from 8 to 11 years old studied French in the public library after school. Half a dozen boys from 6 to 8 years old were introduced to science in a Saturday morning class which rotated from home to home each week. Ten boys 9 to 11 years old were in another science course. The youngsters said they liked the classes, because they were faster-moving
and more interesting than regular school sessions.
The group of parents hired a retired French teacher for $5 an hour. The younger boys' science instructor was an engineer who did the job for fun, and the instructor in the older boys' class was a junior high teacher hired for $5 an hour. Tuition costs averaged 50 cents a lesson for each pupil.
The parents did not feel that they were rebelling against the public school system. They wanted to see that their children received the best educations, and the easiest way to do so seemed to be to handle it themselves. They have hopes that the public schools can some day take over the after-school classes.
These American parents, who have shown initiative and determination to have their children well-educated, provide the answer to pessimists who bemoan the fate of the United States in the cold war race with Russia. Our nation will remain strong as long as individual enterprise such as this remains a trademark of the American people.
