Some visitors to the NCAA games Friday night learned the hard way that warnings about unauthorized parking in the Stouffer Place parking lot should not be ignored.
Sorority scholarship reports will not be released for publication until inaccuracies in the present report have been corrected, according to Nancy Fligg, Kansas City, Mo. junior and president of Panhellenic Council.
Campus police said the only cars towed away were those that were blocking the flow of traffic. Officers said the towed cars were given tickets, while the rest of the unauthorized parkers were not ticketed
Visitors Learn The Hard Way
Residents warned most of the drivers, but some warnings went unheeded. Some cars double parked, trapping residents' cars.

Downtown Building Burns
A downtown Lawrence fire burned out a 1-story brick building at 842 Massachusetts $ \mathrm{St}_{\theta} $ and caused slight smoke damage to three other buildings at about 1 a.m.
Eighteen firemen fought the fire for about two hours, which was thought to have started by an overheated gas stove in the back of the building, according to Fred C. Sanders, assistant city fire chief.
Three other buildings at the site of the fire and damaged by smoke house the Manley Insurance Co., Jim's Restaurant, and the vacated Central Hotel.
The burned building housed Martin's Hobby and Toy Shop and Hall's Barbershop. Mr. Sanders estimated the damage at about $35,000. The building was insured.
The unprecedented move by a KU political party will switch the voter interest from the general elections to the AGI open primary, which usually draws at least two candidates for each office.
The announcement came as no surprise in campus political circles, as Austin had hinted previously that he might not run a candidate for the "plum" positions.
After that, the new group is on its own and takes over the functions of student government.
"Out of a possible 8,500 students, had 9 possibilities and only 3 Greek houses were represented," Austin said. "There were no possibilities in any independent houses."
Austin said the present ASC ruling that a student body presidential candidate must have been a member of the council was one of the main reasons for his decision.
Bob Billings, Russell junior and student body president, called the Austin decision "a surprise move," and said:
"I'm sorry there won't be a contest in the general election. It will certainly make the AGI primary very attractive."
Dick Patterson, Kansas City, Mo. junior and ASC chairman, said Monday that "at least eight" members of the ASC will run for reelection. Patterson said the new ASC would elect its chairman and start setting up committees at the joint sessions.
Following the general campus elections April 16, the present All Student Council will meet twice with the newly-elected ASC in joint session.
In addition, the present Council is setting up a committee to work new ASC members and instruct them in ASC duties. The committee will work with new members after election.
Dick Patterson, Kansas City, Mo. junior and chairman of the ASC, was not available for comment. Patterson has been mentioned as a probable candidate in the AGI primary contest March 28. Mentioned as his running mate is Susie Stout, Wichita junior and ASC member.
An Austin-supported motion was made at the last ASC meeting to revise the presidential requirements, but it met with a roll-call defeat by the Council.
When asked about the possibility of a petition to force a student referendum on the question, Austin said it was doubtful that such a step could be taken before the elections.
Austin said that Vox would run a full slate for ASC positions and added that he was optimistic about the party's chances of winning several seats. It will be the first general election Vox has been in. The party-won one seat in the freshman elections last fall.
