Pity The Pedestrian Traffic Head Says
By MARY ALDEN (Of The Daily Kansan Staff)
The parking problem isn't as bad as the traffic problem on the campus today, Keith Lawton, director of physical plant operations and chairman of the University Traffic and Parking Committee, said recently in a discussion of the campus car problem.
"With 4,000 student cars and 1,400 faculty cars registered on the campus, we must remember that the pedestrian student is in the majority and deserves the first consideration." Mr. Lawton said.
Cars, Students Can Co-Exist
"This year, the whole University family is showing more courtesy to pedestrians in crosswalks," he continued. "We are glad to see the students using the crosswalks, but the real compliment goes to the drivers who are stopping for students and observing the 20-mile an hour speed limit. I hope this trend can continue."
The facts in the safety records show it is apparently possible for cars and students to co-exist on the campus. Mr. Lawton said.
In discussing the parking problem, Mr. Lawton said that the traffic and Parking Committee has attempted to assign the 1.795 parking spaces available in the University's 20 parking lots to those who need them the most.
Any student, faculty or staff member can apply for the space, he said, but there can be no guarantee that they will receive a parking permit.
"At the moment, we feel that the most needy have the space," he said. "Location of the lots may not make it as near as desired, however."
"We put those with physical needs in the places nearest to buildings and put the commuters where we can," he explained.
Space To Be Added
"As the campus grows, we will add space around the perimeter of it for parking when we can," he continued. "On the campus itself, space for the academic cause is paramount. Since the pedestrian student is most important, we must put buildings on the hill to allow him to get to his classes in the 10-minute period allowed."
Mr. Lawton said student ownership of cars has increased since 1950. Registering of cars began on a voluntary basis in the fall of 1955 and became compulsory in 1956.
Any student having a car in Douglas County must register it with the University police within 24 hours after bringing it into the county. An unregistered car receives a University violation ticket.
"The first ticket is merely a warning." Mr. Lawton said, "The second will cost the owner $2 and with each one thereafter, the cost will double until it reaches $16. After that point, each violation will cost $16."
Weather

Sputnik Seen By KU Men
Sputnik, the Russian satellite, was sighted and timed by members of the KU department of astronomy early this morning.
N. W. Storer, associate professor of astronomy, and Henry Horak, assistant professor of astronomy, made two precise timings of the position of the satellite between 5:20 and 5:24 a.m. The altitude of the object will be calculated after figures are checked with astronomers at Washburn University in Topeka.
The first timing was possible when the satellite passed in front of a star whose position was known. The second time occurred when it passed between two known stars, Dr. Storer said.

Influenza Epidemic Invades Kansas State
55th Year, No.26
LAWRENCE, KANSAS
The deadline for names of booths and skits for the annual Student Union Activities Carnival is 5 p.m. Monday, according to Ralph Varnum, Kansas City, Kan. senior and carnival chairman. The names are to be turned in to the SUA office in the Student Union.
Varnum said that persons interested in helping select the carnival queen and Little Man On Campus candidates should apply at the SUA office before 5 p.m. Tuesday.
"We want to emphasize that the students will not have to buy extra tickets to vote for queen and LMOC this year." Varnum said.
Each person buying a ticket to the carnival will receive one vote for both the queen and LMOC.
The carnival booths will be operated from 6—11 p.m. this year. A grand finale with selected variety acts, the presentation of the queen and LMOC and their attendants and booth and skit winners is a new attraction of this year's show, Varnum said.

44 File For Oct.23 Freshman Primary
A Cold Reward For Hot Thinking
Kansas State College has a mild influenza epidemic, according to Dr. B. W. Lafene, director of the school's Student Health Service.
Continuing his lecture, he suddenly decided, "Fourth of July is too long to wait," and tossed her a dime.
Breaking into his lecture for the third time, he exclaimed, "You can't eat alone," and threw her a second dime.
Brains paid off for a coed this morning when she caught an error by Dr. R. Q. Brewster, professor of chemistry, as he calculated a chemical equation while lecturing to his principles of chemistry class.
SUA Carnival Deadlines Set
Dr. Brewster acknowledged his mistake and promised the bright coed an ice cream cone next Fourth of July.
Dr. Lafene said that about 35 students were hospitalized with the

Flu Vaccine Stolen In K.C.
Much of the vaccine was recovered following the arrest of James Glayzer, 24, Kansas City, Mo., who was held in lieu of $1,500 bond on a federal charge of theft of an inter-state shipment.
KANSAS CITY — (UP) Two pharmaceutical salesmen plotting trouble for a business rival, stole 4,000 units of Asian flu vaccine consigned to the Pittman-Moore Co. Kansas City branch, from the Municipal Airport here, police reported today.
Officers sought Charles C. Moore, Jr., Overland Park, Kan., on a similar charge.
A total of 44 names were filed Wednesday night for the Oct.23 primary election of freshman class officers and freshman women representatives to the All Student Council.
Glayzer said he hid 20 amputes in an automobile at the home of a rival pharmaceutical salesman, Nick Davis, in the hope Davis would be blamed for the theft.
The crime was solved after drugists and physicians reported to the Pittman-Moore Co. here that someone was attempting to sell vaccine with the Pittman-Moore label.
Meanwhile, deaths blamed on influenza continued to mount today and health officials reported the Asian flu virus now has stricken all sections of the nation.
A United Press count since the start of the week showed at least 40 deaths blamed on flu and complications.
65 File Petitions For 2 AWS Slots

Freshman representatives will be elected Oct. 30.
Arab 'State Of Mind' Russian Aim
The Russians are playing on the Arabs' naivete which shapes the events that Syria and Egypt are involved in, H. A. Ireland, professor of geology, said in an interview.
Prof. Ireland, who spent his sabbatical leave in 1955-56 on a Fulbright scholarship teaching at the University of Bagdad and touring the Middle East, was speaking of the recent move of Egypt to send troops into Syria to protect against aggression by Syria and Israel.
Prof. Ireland told the Daily Kansan Russia is playing on the Arabian pride and a desire to be an individual. These power moves by the Arab nations were steps, probably suggested by the Russians, to show the world that the Arabian people
can stand on their own two feet Prof. Ireland said.
Playing On State Of Mind
"Russia is playing on the Arab state of mind," he said, "for the nature of Arabs is to be an individual.
"An enemy of an Arab could come into his house and if they break bread together no harm will come to either, but communism will never take root in the Arab nations. They will just use Russia as a means to get arms and prestige." Prof. Ireland said.
"The Arabs find it difficult to organize an army because each man feels he is as good as the next man so why should one man be in charge," he said.
Prof. Ireland said Syria has never accepted any money from any
American source as a sign of the independence and individualism
Russia Clever
Russia is clever and takes this opportunity to push its aims by propagandizing the Arabs to seek to show the world it is an independent nation, he said.
Prof. Ireland pointed out that Turkey was an especially good scapegoat for Syria because it has been under Turkish oppression for some 500 years or more. Also about 25 years ago Turkey took over the province in which the city of Alexandretta lies which should have been Syria's, he added.
"Syria has always been hostile towards Turkey and as America hasn't been able to answer the Arabs' problems due to support of Israel, the Arabs have gone to Russia for help," Prof Ireland said.
A total of 26 is running for class officers. Two candidates from the Vox Populi party and 16 from the Allied-Greek Independent party will run for the ASC.
Two petitions for class officers from Mary Lee McCamman, King City, Mo., and Judith R. Weatherby, Fort Scott, which had written on them that the AGI was sponsoring the candidate, will probably be thrown out, said John Downing, Kansas City, Mo. senior Elections Committee chairman.
The ASC constitution states that no candidates for class officer can be endorsed by a political party.
The primary will cut the candidates down to three for each class office, and to three for ASC representatives.
Polls will open at 7:30 a.m. and close at 6 p.m. They will be in Fraser, the Student Union, Marvin Lindley, Malott, Music and Dramatic Arts Building, and two in Strong.
