Parking Pains
p ARK I NO tickets an* being plastered on earn
on North Campus, especially in the areas
near Candler Hall and C-J building.
Students are not receiving tickets because
of the way they park, but rather because there
aren’t enough legal parking spaces.
The problem is acute, and so far no one has
been able to supply an answer. There isn’t an
immediate answer. The parking problem is not
restricted to the University—most other sizable
institutions have the same problem.
However, there are some areas near Candler
Hall and C-.I building which are not being
used for legal parking, that can be utilized.
One side of Herty drive can be used for park
ing. The street is wide enough for cars to be
parked on one side and still allow safe one-way
traffic.
We don't believe this would endanger pedes
trians or increase the campus accident rate.
Students have demonstrated their concern for
careful driving through a low number of cam
pus accidents.
Also, ears could be parked opposite the fac
ulty parking spaces behind C-J building.
Permitting ears to be parked in these areas
would not solve the parking problem, but would
help to partially alleviate it.
We nlso think more consideration could be
shown in writing parking tickets—the situa
tion being as it is.
Your Pep Club
* I' UK Bulldog Pep Club, organized at the re
cent Student Headers’ Workshop at Rock
Engle, has the possibilities of being one of the’
strongest and most useful student organizations
on the University campus.
But for the club to fulfill the purpose for
which it was formed, certain factors must be
present. First, it must have strong leaders who
will keep it active and be ever mindful of its
purpose. We believe the club has such leaders
in Sue Crawford and Paul Lynch.
Second, it must have student support. Every
student is eligible for membership in the club
and invited to attend its meetings and take part
in its activities.
The club has been a little slow getting its
projects carried out. This can be blamed partly
on the fact that certain duties have been as
signed to campus groups without the eonsent
of those groups. An organization such as this
must operate on a volunteer basis. Another
drawback has been students and organizations
agreeing to perform eertain duties and then
never getting around to doing them.
Yet, we still believe the Pep Club can suc
ceed and be of great service to the University.
It is a worthy student project, and it’s up to
tin* entire student body not just a few—to
make it the spirit boosting organization *it
should be.

Readers' Opinions
Free Press Urged
The Red and Black Editor:
Demosthenian Literary Society went on record at their last regular
meeting favoring the following matter: “Demosthenian Literary So
ciety recommends a free editorial policy by The Red and Black Board
of Controls.”
There was an hour and a half de
bate concerning this matter. Before
the vote was cast the following
phases of argumentation took place:
1) Clarification of the policies and
functions of The Red and
Black.
2) Views of the editorial staff vs.
the student body.
3) Urging of non-partisan edi
torials.
4) Urging of pro and con edi
torials.
S1 The freedom of speech and
press.
Demosthenian went on record as
approving the same freedom they
exercise hi debate, for the editorial
staff of The Red and Black. Demos-
tlienlan wishes to express its confi
dence In the stnff and wish you a
successful quarter in carrying on the
traditional freedom of the press.

Consideration Asked
For Infirmary Staff
The Red and Black Editor:
It Is high time students who bur
den themselves with an "aching atti
tude” toward the Infirmary broaden
their viewpoint of the subject more
thoroughly
The Infirmary supports one of the
largest and most important programs
on the campus—student health. It Is
a big Job and should be regarded
with the utmost consideration by
members of the student body.
One of the best ways to show this
consideration Is to supplant ‘'sym
pathy” and criticism with patience
and cooperation. Bare in mind that
projects planned and developed over
a long period of time are more thor
ough and efficient when completed.
To magnify the short-comings of
the Infirmary at this time is wrong.
Be wise instead, of its vast program.
The Infirmary staff is not only car
ing for you and the fellow on the
bench, but for a large number of in
patients as well.
Be a patient patient. If you visit
the Infirmary and develop a case of
"aching attitude," try washing It
down with a big dose of consideration
and respect. That is the highest
tribute you could pay your Infirmary.
It is there to help you.

Mental Health Seen
As Severe Problem
The Red and Black Editor:
Here are startling facts:
1. In any city, emotional Illnesses
equal all other illnesses.
2. One out of 16 persons Is emo
tionally sick.
3. More children will go to men
tal institutions than will go to col
lege.
4. 80% of this problem need not
exist.
All of us need to understand emo
tional illness. We need to know how
to achieve mental health.
The best psychologists in our state
are being presented free at the First
Methodist Church Oct. 18, Oct. SB.
Nov. 1 and Nov. 8, and at the First
Christian Church on Nov. 15 to help
all of us understand ourselves and
others better. Many of the University
faculty are participating.
These programs could mean much
to so many of the University students.
The Wesley Foundation bus or the
BSA bus will take the girls from
Ag Hill, and the A&P Grocery offers
the use of their parking lot which Is
one block from the church.
The series of meetings la sponsored
by United Church Women of Athens
with the cooperation of the Univer
sity and its Continuing Education
Center, the Crawford W. Long Medi
cal Society and the Athens Medical
Health Association.

Unsolved Problems
There’s a new look in town. On every street, In
every parking space, and down the most minute
pig trail, you’ll observe the town’s new look. It's
the abundance of automobiles, new flivvers of
every design and assortment of supposedly safety
features.
University students experience the “new look”
first hand between classes each day when they
Hattie the "parking space war." Additional park
ing spaces have been provided,
but the problem is still acute.
Frankly I don't see any Im
mediate answer to the problem
which has everyone who owns
anything from a Model-T to a
Cadillac agitated. Bicycle riding
has been mentioned. That might
have worked a half-century ago,
but the peddle-pushing won't be
accepted in this era of veneered
boxes called TV sets and auto
mobiles built to travel 150 miles per hour.
Car dealers are offering trade-in cars at chicken-
feed prices compared to three years ago. There’s
a reason. Either America Is manufacturing too
many cars or Americans are finding more money
to spend. This can be termed either as an economic
lapse or a good future ahead for the automobile
industry.
Anyway the manufacturers are still dishing ’em
out. Folks are buying as many cars as possible—and
the University’s parking problem is as distorted
as ever. Maybe that’s what Herbert Hoover had
in mind more than 20 years ago when he promised
a car in every garage. At the present trend, there’ll
be two in those garages in a few years.

Times, Togs Change
Back in '09, when the old man was attending
PU, the average college Joe, preparing to launch
a campus career, could go down to the haber
dashers, pick out a reasonable suit, a coat and
a pair of shoes and be on his way.
It’s a different story now. Take a look at the
"wardrobe check list” published by a men’s maga
zine recently.
Starting from the top, the “men that know” ex
pect the college male to possess a plaid cap re
sembling those usually restricted
to the golf course, a charcoal
black hat with a feather, a dark
brown hat, a light brown hat
and maybe a few spares.
A notch down, the list Indi
cates the student can’t do with
out a black bow tie, a brown bow
tie, a stripped square-end tie, a
plain square-end tie and a
crooked tie.
And—take heed—you are
strictly from nowhere If you
haven’t a charcoal black sport coat, a charcoal
brown sport coat and a Shropshire tweed. You
also must have umpteen white shifts with round
and square collars, buttondown and non-button-
down.
If you lack a blue suede belt, a brown belt, a
black belt, white suspenders and red suspenders,
rush to the nearest hi-jacking shop immediately.
Wfcile you’re there, buy a bright red vest.
But before you leave, look into your closet to be
sure you have a dark blue and a gray overcoat,
white gloves, brown gloves and summer and winter
tux.
The list requires brown, black, gray, charcoal
black, charcoal brown, blue, green and tan trousers.
The footwear division demands blue suedes,
black formal, light brown and black shoes plus
a'pair of black plain and tan loafers and white-
bucks.
But don t panic when the family money-man
fails to come through with the dough. You won’t
be the first person to fall short of the "expected"
wardrobe.

Musings
I must conform, I must conform
I really ought to find the norm
And not above and not below
But right upon the dot you know.
Perhaps some day we’ll all conform
And lives will be secure and warm.
Then life and death will be one link
And men will neither live nor think.
