"The second way is to fine students who violate the parking regulations on campus so they will learn self-discipline through the fining process."
"Cars must be screened out," he said, "and we must decide how to help to get the students and faculty to their classes without their being impeded by traffic, and reserve the parking lots at KU for those students, faculty and staff who really need them."
He said those students who live within a mile of the center of campus cannot be considered eligible for parking permits on campus. If a person lives beyond a mile and a car is his public transportation, he is charged $10 for a parking permit and assigned to a peripheral lot, Lawton said.
"Up to the mid-1950's we occasionally asked the Kansas Legislature for funds to build parking lots and they occasionally granted them," he said.
Lawton said construction for KU parking lots is paid for by the money received through parking permits and the parking fines.
"But with the provisions of the 1957 Kansas statute, the state system made clear that money to build parking lots and operate the parking system should be provided by the 'user-should-pay' principle," Lawton said.
He said he believes that with the tremendous building needs at KU, state money for physical facilities should be put into buildings—"the real tools of education" rather than parking lots.
Lawton said, "If parking lots are to be built, they must be financed by the users."
Before Senate committee
Rusk will testify today
WASHINGTON — (UFI)—Secretary of State Dean Rusk today urged Congress to approve President Johnson's entire foreign aid program of $2.9 billion despite mounting costs of the Vietnam War.
The secretary argued against any aid cut in a prepared statement at the opening of testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
With Rusk's appearance, possibly running into the night, the
committee was moving toward a possibly explosive debate later in the day over the wisdom of Johnson's Southeast Asia policy.
The secretary had refused for months to testify in open session about Vietnam policy before the critical committee headed by Sen J. William Fulbright (D-Ark.), but appeared today for the official purpose of urging adoption of the foreign aid program.
However, he and committee members, among whom are some
of the sharpest critics of the Vietnam War, were both aware that his appearance, carried nationally on live television and radio, would quickly erupt into a full scale argument over all facets of administration policy.
Fulbright and other members of Congress were disturbed by reports that Gen. William C. Westmoreland is asking for an additional 206,000 troops during the next year to add to the 525,000 already authorized for Vietnam.

His wife held a petition asking Congress to "treat and deal with Communism in the United States as the true enemy of American democracy," and to revoke the Supreme Court ruling allowing Communists to work in defense plants.
Speakman, who is a member of the local chapter of the John Birch Society, said he is "doing this as a private citizen."
