Highway Robbery
There are plenty of good reasons why the Union's parking lot shouldn't have a toll gate at its entrance. Most of them boil down to the fact that fifty cents is too much for a student to pay to park in his own Union's parking lot.
For that matter, charging for Union parking may be wrong at any price. The administration could be off the beam in asking students who park at their Union to finance future athletic parking lots to be used, for the most part, by out-of-towners.
To top it all off, there are doubts that my old Ford is worth such expensive lodging. Neither the amount of gasoline in the tank nor the amount of tread on the tires would fetch the half-buck parking price. When the subject of a trade is broached, car dealers only shake their heads at the old heap, but junk men who pass it seem to have that undertaker's gleam in their eyes.
The day may come, of course, when it will be necessary to use the Union parking lot. But the Parking Committee can bet their boots that the entrance my car and I make will be a grand one.
I figure that if the Ford is hitting on all eight and the wind is right, enough speed can be gotten up by starting at the Library. We may shake up prayer services in Danforth Chapel a bit, but we'll round 14th Street corner in grand style. I may wave as we pass the Art Museum.
And then there will be the home stretch. We'll park at the Union, all right. With fenders flapping and doors rattling and the Ford's motor roaring at the top of its aged voice, we'll make that last, final sweep into the parking lot entrance.
That's when I intend to aim the front end straight for the money-taking machine.
A Big Inning For The U.S.
Larry Boston
So far Russia has been hitting some hot grounders that the U.S. has more or less muffed. But the last hard hit ball of the Russians was fielded flawlessly and they were thrown out at first by three strides.
Although the major league baseball season has only been open a couple of weeks, the little game Russia and the United States has been playing is in its umpteenth extra inning.
This latest bit of action was the Russian charge that we were guilty of causing threats to the peace through nuclear bomber flights toward the Soviet Union. Russia was so sure of her play that she brought charges before the UN Security Council.
After six straight hours of debate, Russia "graciously" withdrew her charges so that she wouldn't have to face the humiliation of coming up on the short end of a 10 to 1 vote.
At last the United States has had a big inning. We completely outmaneuvered them in the UN Security Council. Instead of making the U.S. appear as a warlike nation, Russia freely gave further proof that most of the noise she makes is purely for propaganda purposes.
This latest moral victory we have scored should prove two things. First, the U. S. is well prepared in case of an all-out war, and second, despite what Russia would like the world to think, we still have a few friends in the United Nations.
The game isn't over, that's for sure. But the U. S. has proven to anyone that had doubts that she's no pushover. Any future moves that Russia makes could reflect the fact that she had to crawl defeated off the field of a world debate.

Open Letter To The Student Body
We feel that much of the apathy shown toward student politics has been a result of so-called corrupted political machinery and selfish individuals in positions of student leadership.
We have been a member of the Vox political party because we felt that with its new organization student government at KU would become a respected and admired structure.
Vox encouraged us to run a candidate and we did so. The party supported Tom Bath from the engineering school and we as a member supported our party. A few days before the election, Tom found that he was not running on the Vox ticket. His name had been withdrawn by one man without hearing the voice of his party or the opinion of the candidate. We believe that this is a misuse of power and our house will not support this type of political manipulation. A qualified candidate has been sacrificed.
Furthermore, our house representative was not informed about the last three Vox political meetings.
We feel that we have lost demo-

eratic representation in Vox and these abuses are an insult to our intelligence.
In view of these facts we have decided by a house decision to withdraw from this type of party and now declare ourselves a non-partisan organization.
We sincerely believe in good student government and will always strive for this cause.
THAT'S A RIDICULOUS RUMOR, DEAN, I RUN HERE A VERY DEMOCRATIC CLASSROOM.
