Parking Problem At Closing Hours
Nearly any woman living in Gertrude Sellards Pearson, North College or Corbin halls will tell you that the parking problem at closing hours in the dormitory parking areas is terrible.
There are two 10-minute loading zones and a parking space for twelve cars in the Corbin-North College area. North College houses 150 women while Corbin houses 125.
Even with a parking lot for 60 cars and five 10-minute loading zones in the larger GSP area, traffic jams are still rather common on date nights.
GSP has a capacity for 440 women, and at least one fourth of its residents have cars.
50 Permits Issued
According to Mrs. Merl Nichols, GSP dormitory manager, "Approximately 50 parking permits were issued this year, mostly to upperclasswomen. Many women would like to have a permit for their boy friend's car, too, but there just isn't room."
Students were asked their opinions on the traffic jams at closing hours at the dormitories.
George D. Meserve, Mission senior—"There's definitely a problem. It seems to me that the whole problem could be solved if the parking strip in front of GSP were widened. Cars could then park so that others could get through and avoid so much congestion."
Dash For Closing
Jan Jones, Omaha, Neb. freshman — "I'll never forget the night I had to run a block to get in for closing. People shouldn't park in the little lots at Corbin and North College. They should use the main parking lot so traffic wouldn't be jammed close to the dorms."
Walt Tomashoff, New York, N. Y. freshman—"Parking seems to be a question of who gets here first. There is a terrible jam for a block all around the dorms."
Rancy Jo Schwantes, Winfield freshman—"The traffic jam is really pretty bad. They need a new park ing lot."
Paul Brown, Kansas City, Mo. sopohomore—"It is pretty bad all right. They could widen the driveway. This would give more room for through traffic."

Murphy Defers Comment On Kress Situation
Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy had no comment this morning on the charge that he and the other six trustees of the Samuel K. Kress Foundation, a philanthropic institution, had attempted to interfere in management affairs of S. H. Kress and Co.
"At this time I have no comment," the chancellor said.
The charges were made Friday by Rush H. Kress, 80-year-old chairman of the Kress store chain and president of the Kress Foundation.
Mr. Kress charged the trustees with "attacking and criticizing the policies" of the Kress board. He "invited" the trustees to resign.
The trustees, according to a Kress spokesman, had voted to solicit proxies for the Kress stockholders meeting in May and had decided upon four persons to be included in the list of seven directors to be elected.
According to Mr. Kress, this action was in opposition to a "traditional concept" of non-interference by the foundation trustees in company management.

Dutch String Quartet Here
The Netherlands String Quartet, which will appear at 8 p.m. Friday in the University Theatre, was sent to the U. S. as a memorial tribute to another Dutch group, the Amsterdam Duo.
The duo, who had been scheduled to appear here as a part of the KU Chamber Music course, was forced to cancel its engagements last year
as a result of the death of one of its members, pianist Alice Heksion. She was the wife of Nap de Klijn, founder and first violinist of the Netherlands String Quartet.
Other members of the quartet, which was formed in 1952, are Jaap Schroder, second violin, Paul Goodwin, viola, and Carel van Leewen Boomkamp, cello.

'Judith' Opens Monday Night
"Judith," by Jean Giraudoux, a play based on a book in the con- provisional Apocrypha, will open at 8 p.m. Monday in the experimental theatre of the Music and Dramatic Arts Building.
Directed by Jane Quaid, Norman, Okla. graduate student, the play will run through Saturday, March 1 with matinees at 4 p.m. Wednesday and Friday.
Seats are still available for each performance, but are limited because of the small capacity of the theater. Tickets may be obtained at the Kansas Union concessions counter.
The Apocrypha is the name given to some of the early religious books not included in the Bible. These books were banned by the early Roman Catholic hierarchy on the grounds that they contained some esoteric wisdom or were harmful to the individual.
The play sacrifices its Apocryphal meaning to enable Giraudoux to express his philosophy dealing with the universals of God, man and sex.
Mostly cloudy through Friday morning with occasional drizzle west and north portions. Partial clearing Friday afternoon. Rising temperatures. Low tonight 25 to 35. High Friday 40 east to 50s northwest.

3-Man Panel Discusses Approach To God
By BILL FARMER (Of The Daily Kansan Staff)
"Man, His Mind, and God," the topic at Wednesday night's Religious Emphasis Week panel discussion, was approached from three angles by three panel members.
The Rev. Herbert P. Fritze, chaplain at Winter Veterans Hospital in Topeka, compared the similarities between the theologian's and the social scientist's approach to man's mental health.
Blake Hall Days May Be Over
Blake Hall, the Kansas chateau may have seen its last class.
Remodeling plans for Blake were shelved last summer when bids for the project ran $200,000 over the budget allowed. After remodeling, the building was to be used by the University Extension.
Since remodeling plans were dropped, Blake has been used for storage.
Keith Lawton, administrative assistant for operations, said Wednesday that the University has no plans at present for Blake Hall, but that Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy and the Board of Regents were considering further uses for the building. No request has been made for an increased appropriation to cover remodeling estimates.
Blake Hall was built in 1895 to house the physics department. As the University grew, it was outgrown and was finally replaced by Malott Hall in 1954.
It was designed in French Renaissance style, and has frequently been criticized as an eyesore ever since its dedication.
- Both men see the same objectives and purposes in man, he said. He cited the following five examples:
4. Man's own discovery of his inherent creative powers.
5. Man's productive effort in relation to his capacity.
2. Man's concern for life, both his own and that of his fellow man.
3. The individual's development of his capacity to love.
Man Must Solve Question
Dr. Paul W. Pruyser, clinical psychologist and research associate to Dr. Karl Menninger of the Menninger Foundation in Topeka, said man is perplexed with the question of his being and the eventual reality of his non-being as the only antithsis.
Man must consider the possibility of man's "becoming," instead of regarding "non-being" as the only answer to what lies ahead, he said.
1. Man's utilization of individuality—his becoming himself.
Each man must by necessity be a theologian by his own right, and the question is how good a theologian the individual is going to make himself. Dr. Pruyser said.
Fanatics Use Religion
Dr. M. Erik Wright, professor of clinical psychology at KU, said although religion is a great social force, influencing our goals and governing our behavior, it has also been a medium for the expression of fanaticism, and other mental abnormali-
