An Editorial Parking Fees
The parking permit fee increase recently passed by the Board of Regents is unfair to many students and faculty members.
It is unfair to students with cars who live in large dormitories. It is unfair to students who live more than walking distance from the campus. It is unfair to the faculty members who drive to classes
The new arrangement will require all permit holders to pay $10 for their parking sticker next September. The current cost of these stickers is $4.
The cost per se of these stickers is not unfair. It is comparable to the arrangement at other campuses in our situation.
ITS DISCRIMINATORY nature is unfair, however.
The student who lives in a large residence hall must have a parking permit to park his automobile in the hall's parking lot. These lots are not preferred spots. They are at the student's place of residence.
Many faculty members and some students who live off campus drive to class. For the student or faculty member who lives several miles from campus, it is almost a necessity to drive to class. He must park his car somewhere in the vicinity of the campus. Several parking lots are located close to the campus. These drivers must either park in these lots or try to find a parking spot on one of the city streets. The latter is not always desirable.
Many students with cars will not have to pay this $10 fee because their campus home provides free parking.
These students depend on the traffic and security office as much as the students whose places of residence requires that they have a parking permit.
With the increase of students and cars, the Traffic and Security department definitely needs more revenue.
THE MOST logical solution is a fee for auto registration. Since state law requires that every car on campus be registered, the registration fee would be a method of beefing up the revenue of the campus police.
This would not be at the expense of an arbitrarily decided few, however. It would be at the expense of everyone who has a car on campus and who depends on the campus police.
Discriminatory Raises
Fees, fees, fees. Every time you turn around, it seems, there is a fee increase. The latest proposal, following on the heels of the parking permit increase, is that of Chancellor Wescoe to raise the general student fee of in-state students by $5 and out-of-state students by $50.
Wescoe's proposal has been taken under advisement by the Board of Regents.
Obviously, costs are increasing all the time and fee increases are necessary if KU is to be a quality university.
WE DONT OBJECT to the increase in fees. But, once more, we think the highly discriminatory nature of the proposal is unfortunate—if not unfair.
The out-of-state students would bear the brunt of the increased costs. In this proposed fee raise alone they would be required to pay $90 a year more than Kansas residents. They are already paying $287 per semester as compared to in-state fees of $122 per semester. If the chancellor's proposal passes at the next Regents meeting, non-residents will be paying $337 per semester as compared to $127 per semester for residents.
The effect would be to make greater financial problems for present non-resident students and discourage non-resident students in the future from attending.
We hear a lot about understanding of other nations as one of the great needs of the U.S. population—hence the increased emphasis on foreign student programs.
INCREASED UNDERSTANDING of other parts of this country is a similar problem, but there never seems to be much concern shown for it. Kansans more than anyone else should be aware of regional myths about certain states, for many people still look on Kansas as a rather primitive state where farmers fight to keep buffalo out of their corn patches. And, yes, almost everyone is aware of the dust bowl disaster in the 1930's and the 1951 flood and the interminable heat.
JAMES GUNN, public relations adviser for the administration, has said recently that in-state students are given entrance preference, then sons and daughters of non-resident KU alumni, then students applying from bordering states. In other words, the administration policy is to encourage students of Kansas or near ansas to come here and to discourage others.
Kansas could profit if this administrative attitude were changed. There would be more students from across the nation learn about Kansas, and more Kansans would know what is going on around the nation.

Big Weekend Features Running of KU Relays
Winds were expected to shift to north or northwest by noon the KU weather observation station stated. Winds were expected to pick up to 25-35 miles per hour by this afternoon. Showers were expected this afternoon with a high of 75 degrees.
By Marshall Caskey (Sports Editor)
Some of the finest track and field talent in the country will participate in the 39th running of the Kansas Relaws here this weekend.
the prospect of more windy weather today and tomorrow lessened the chances that other records would be set in Memorial Stadium.
PRELIMINARY EVENTS comprised most of today's competition which ends at 4:45 p.m. Saturday's action begins in earnest at 1 p.m.
The performers range all the way from high school stars to all-Americas and all will be seeking glory in the Mt. Oread Olympics.
Coach Bill Easton has entered KU trackmen in most of the Relays events.
THE FIRST winner in this year's event was a 34-year-old former Polish army officer who won the 10,000-meter run in record time yesterday afternoon.
There were few dropouts in the gruelling race despite 20- and 30-mile an hour winds and an 83-degree temperature.
The Weather Bureau predicted that skies would be partly cloudy through tomorrow. Tomorrow's temperatures are expected to be cool.
John Macy, formerly of the University of Houston, covered the distance (nearly six miles) in 29:46, a minute faster than the former KU Relays record set two years ago.
High on the list of KU performers is pole vaulter Floyd Manning, Manning won the Big Eight indoor meet with a vault of $15-8 \frac{1}{2}$ and is an individual threat in that event this weekend.
Easton also has entered his record-shattering four-mile relay team. The fourmilers, who broke the Texas Relay record April 4, are Bill Silverberg, who ran a 4:15; John Donner, who ran 4:11; Herald Hadley, who was 4:13.3, and John Lawson, who had 4:17.7.
THE MISSOURI Tigers are likely to enter the four-mile.
"They have the talent," Easton said, "and if they enter the four-mile—and there is no reason to believe they won't—they'll be rough."
The biggest of Missouri's big guns is, of course, Robin Lingle. Lingle was named the outstanding performer at the Texas Relays after he ran a 1:48 anchor 880 and a 4:02.4 finishing mile in the twowheel and the distance medley.
Missouri, with Lingle, must be considered the favorite in the two-mile and the Tigers were considered by some to be in line to smash the world's record in that event.
Only five defending relays champions will appear at the meet. Of the five only one, Jim Miller, Colorado hurdler, is considered to be a strong contender to defend his title.
MILLER WON THE 400-meter hurdles in a time of 52.6 seconds last year. To date, in this year's meets he has clocked a time of 51.9—one
of the best times in the country.
Competing against Miller will be former KU star and Olympic silver medal winner, Cliff Cusman.
Cushman, presently in the Air Force, has been training here with his former coach. Cushman won the event here in 1957, 1960 and 1961.
ANOTHER DEFENDING Relays champion is Nate Adams, Purdue spinner who won the 100-yard and 100-meter dashes here last year.
Adams, who is hampered with a pulled thigh muscle, will be hard-pressed, if he competes, by KU's Ron Hanson, Roger Sayers and Terry Williams of Omaha and Charles Greene from Nebraska.
The other defending champions who will be on hand are Geoff Walker, Houston, in the 5,000-meter (the metric distance is substituted for the three-mile during Olympic years); Pat Closhey, former Houston star, 10,000, and Kent Floerke, formerly of KU, in the triple jump.

Two ASC Members Barred from Office
The Student Court yesterday issued temporary restraining orders, barring two elected All Student Council members from the ASC until trials scheduled for next week.
The restraining orders were issued after a preliminary hearing when Norma Sharp, Arkansas City junior, and Beverly Nicks, Detroit, Mich., junior, contested the results of the spring election in which they were defeated.
Miss Sharp and Miss Nicks, who ran on a Vox ticket, were defeated by two University Party candidates in close races.
SUSAN LAWRENCE, Bartlesville, Okla., sophomore, won by lot over Miss Sharp after the vote ended in a 138-138 tie in the School of Fine Arts race.
Jean Borlaug, Sierra Guadarrama, Mexico, junior, defeated Miss Nickis by 14 votes (200-186) in the large women's dorm race.
Tom Thompson, Atchison thirdyear law student and chief justice of the Student Court, said the restraining orders will be in effect until the trials at which time the question of facts and proof will be settled.
MISS NICKS has charged "negligence on the part of Elections Committee" for not giving ballots to all voters from her district. She contended that several people from her district were not given the ballots for the large women's dorms.
The attorneys for Miss Nicks and Jean Borlau waived the preliminary hearing yesterday. Trial was set for 7 p.m. Wednesday.
Miss Sharp questioned the voiding of three ballots which she feels might have determined the winner.
The attorney for Miss Sharp said she would subpeona all the ballots for the School of Fine Arts in case there were any errors.
GEM Highlights Exposition
KU's Ground Effects Machine (GEM) III is on display at the 44th Annual Engineering Exposition which opened today in the New Engineering Building.
Student and departmental projects will also be on display to depict different facets of the GEM III and of other projects in the engineering departments.
"THE PROCESS for Progress," theme of this year's exposition, began today as Camille Storey, Overland Park sophomore and engineering queen, cut the exposition ribbon at noon.
Visitors to the Exposition enter the Engineering Building at the main south entrance where they find arrows and signs that tell the directions to go to see all the exhibits.
All the exhibits are in the Engineering Building except the GEM III, which is in the parking lot west of the building. The nuclear reactor, which has its own building adjacent to the Engineering Building, is also on display.
The Exposition, which started at noon today, will run until 9:00 tonight and be open tomorrow from 9:00 a.m. until noon. The affair will be climaxed at 7:00 p.m. Saturday with the 1964 Engineering Exposition Banquet in the Big Eight room of the Kansas Union. Students are invited to attend the banquet. Tickets
SPEAKER for the banquet will be Karl Johnson, vice president of J. R. Pritchard and Company of Kansas City.
may be obtained from Engineering Council representatives or in the office of the School of Engineering.
The projects on display have been divided into two broad groups. One group includes the student organizations such as honorary fraternities and clubs, and the departments within the School of Engineering. The students will emphasize the progress of engineering and the departments will show the processes used in the study of engineering. The two groups make up this year's theme, "Process for Progress."
The following are sub themes for each project and the group of students working on the projects:
The theme was chosen to highlight the type of work in which the students and departments are presently engaged.
KAPPA ETA KAPPA has "Novelty for Progress"; American Society of Metallurgists and the American Institute of Mechanical Engineering
are presenting "Progress in Materials;" Eta Kappa Nu and electrical engineering students have "Simulation Techniques."
The Architectural Engineers Association is presenting "Building and Education;" Alpha Chi Sigma is presenting "Machine Teaching of Chemistry;" and the American Society of Civil Engineers has "Coordinated Planning for Progress."
Petroleum Engineering Club has "Energy for Progress," the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics have a display of miniature flying GEMs named "GEMs of the Future."
Scarab and American Institute of Architects have "Progressive Architecture;" and the chemical engineering students have joined together to make "Process for Products."
All the engineering departments have projects on display which are characteristic of the work done in their departments.
The projects have been planned for several months and most of the departmental and student projects were completed yesterday.
TROPHIES will be awarded for the best student displays Saturday at the banquet.
Judges have been selected from the Kansas Engineering Society, the administration, and Lawrence businessmen.
Chairman of the 44th Annual Engineering Exposition is James Carr, Carthage, Missouri, fifth year engineer.
