THE WAY I SEE IT
Students Reject Parking Meter Idea
By Marcia Whitworth and Carl Kaufman
A definite thumbs down attitude was displayed by students at Myers Hall and LeConte Hull in their
answers to the question, “Do you think parking meters should be installed on the University campus?”
PATTY TYSON, Black Mountain,
KAY SILVER, Savannah: “I don’t
think parking meters should be in
stalled on campus because it would
be extremely inconvenient for stu
dents to have to return to their cars
after every class to put money in the
meters, and rarely would you find a
student with correct change for the
meter, thereby causing another ad
ded inconvenience. It would also be
an added expense of about $2.60 a
week and that would really add up.
Yes, I definitely think it would be
unwise to install parking meters on
our campus.”

N. C.: "I don’t think it necessary to
install parking meters on campus.
Since students are paying to come
to school here, the parking spaces
should be provided free of charge.
1 don't have a car on campus, but if
I did, 1 don't think I would be too
much in favor of it!”

JUDY ROBINSON, Columbus: "I
don’t think they should be installed
because students have enough trou
ble finding parking spaces without
adding to their worry of running af
ter class and putting money in the
meter. Parking space should be pro
vided by the school since students
already have paid tuition and have
other expenses. The students without
cars are thankful to those with them
because they take them to classes.”
BILL GILMORE, Atlanta: “No,
definitely not. There is an overly
large number of cars on the campus,
but parking meters would be un
reasonable in my opinion. It would
cost a lot of money to install them
and later the money would come back
out of it, but to me, it would be defi
nitely out of the question.”
RICHARD KROCK, Waycross:
No. Students have a hard time find
ing a parking place as it is. Parking
meters would cost them too much
over a period of time. Many students
park their cars in a central location,
and for them to put more money in
the meters between classes would be
very inconvenient.”
STANLEY COOLICK, Manchester:
“No, I don't think that parking met-!
ers should be used on the campus.
The parking situation is bad enough j
at the present time. The addition of
parking meters would cause more
trouble. Sometimes you don't have penses that students have to pay for
small change in your pocket and it and this would make college life too
would take you time to make change expensive. College costs are increas-
before class. The solution to the an( j t | lere j g no need to increase

Young engineer
pioneers in design
and sales of new
tiny transistors
The germanium transistor—some smaller
than the eraser end of a pencil and able to
operate on a few thousandths of a watt
— is probably one of the most promising
developments in the electronics field today.
It opens the way to new midget radios, TV
sets flat enough to hang on a wall and many
other exciting possibilities.
One of the men who helped design and
perfect these tiny transistors—and the man
who is now head of sales for all General
Electric germanium products—is James H.
Sweeney, Manager — Marketing, Semicon
ductor Products Department.
Sweeney’s Work Interesting, Vital
As early as 194B, Sweeney was head of a
group that studied the design and possible
uses of germanium products. He gained
national recognition for his work in devel
oping and introducing these products to
other industries, and when a new Semi
conductor Products Department was formed
in 1953, Sweeney was a natural choice for
the job of marketing these products.
25,000 College Graduates at General Electric
When Sweeney came to General Electric in
1941, he worked in many different depart
ments until he finally found the work he
wanted to do. Like Sweeney, each of the
25,000 college-graduate employees is given
the chance to grow, to find the work he does
best, and to realize his full potential. For
General Electric has long believed this:
When fresh young minds are given the free
dom to make progress, everybody benefits
—the individual, the company, the country.
