'Master Plan'—
Continued from page 5
"THE ONLY DISADVANTAGE of a pedestrian campus would be the inconvenience of getting around," the Reveille decides.
This is strange on a campus that already has, in addition to cars on campus, a "Tiger Train" which makes a tour from the main campus parking lot to the union every 10 minutes.
The K-State Collegian reports that K-Staters are having their parking problems. More students, more cars, parking places being eaten by building construction—all these are bothering students and faculty.
The solution that the Collegian considers "inevitable" is "perimeter parking with shuttle bus service to and from campus."
KU has also considered this. Lawton said the reason KU doesn't have a shuttle system is lack of student demand.
"We have hired buses to run from N zone to the stadium in football season, but nobody rides them. We feel that people get as close as they can and then are unwilling to pay more money to ride the relatively short distance remaining."
THE COLLEGIAN also foresees "guard houses or check points at campus entrances" to "admit only those who need to park on campus."
K-State is also considering high-rise parking. This program has been found impractical there for the same reasons it was rejected here these are:
- Cost—about $2,000 per parking stall.
- Financing-student parking fees would have to be raised. The Collegian estimates "$50 per semester with 30 years necessary to finance it."
- Location—the structure would have to be located far enough away that it would never get in the way of campus expansion, yet near enough to be easily accessible.
THE KENTUCKY KERNEL wrote an article on a different type of problem.
"With two of Lexington's main north-south arterial routes cutting the campus into strips... the University's main academic facilities stand as an island.
"Between the peak traffic hours of 7-9 a.m. and 4-6 p.m., streets adjacent to the University's heart are clogged, preventing smooth traffic flow while pedestrians attempting to cross at intersections or cross-walks find themselves gambling with their lives."
Lawton is very pleased with KU's planning in this area.
He considers the lack of entrances to Jayhawk Boulevard a blessing.
"You can drive all the way from the Kansas Union clear to the west end of the campus out beyond Iowa Street and the Holiday Inn and only have to cross one public street—Naismith."
Santa ho-hos and kids feast at dorm
The high pitched voices of laughing, yelling, singing children bounced off the walls of Templin Hall last Sunday. But no one protested, because it was the annual Christmas Party for the poor children of Lawrence.
Some sixty children feasted on ice cream cones, cookies, and chocolate milk during the party. Then Santa Claus made his usual appearance, distributing gifts to the anxious little hands.
BEFORE ANYONE knew it,
the party was over, and with the
exception of a few stomach
aches and headaches, everyone
felt the spirit of Christmas.
Templin Hall, however, is but one of the many places that the Christmas spirit and Santa will visit at KU, before Christmas day arrives.
KU's social sororities and fraternities will be the host of good

cheer to many needy children in the next two weeks.
Thursday at 6 p.m. Delta Tau Delta fraternity and Kappa Alpha Theta sorority will serve dinner and give gifts to five Lawrence children.
The residents of Corbin Hall have adopted six poor families for Christmas Day.
"Five girls from Corbin will visit each of the families a few days before Christmas, and give each of them a turkey and other food that will help to tide them over until things get better" said Sandi Anderson, Overland Park freshman, and chairman of the hospitality committee.

Phi had their traditional Christmas party for poor children at 4 p.m. Santa gave out gifts and the children played games.

Cincinnati strangler strikes again
CINCINNATI—(UPI)—An 81 year-old woman was found strangled early today in the service elevator of her apartment building, the apparent sixth victim of the Cincinnati strangler.
Police said they had a "hot suspect" who may be the person who has attacked and killed women here in the past 12 months. Officers declined to say whether the suspect was in custody.
The latest victim was Mrs. Lula Kerrick, a resident of the Brittany Apartments, which is located less than three blocks from the central police station.
SHE HAD BEEN strangled by a white stocking found around her neck, which followed the pattern of earlier killings. Her dress
was in disarray, but it was not known immediately whether she had been raped. Other victims of the strangler had been raped.
Mrs. Kerrick's body was found by a tenant about 8:20 a.m., EST.
Police indicated the suspect was traced by his automobile license number.
