Students Warned
About Parking Cars
College authorities warned last
week that if the practice of parking cars in the circle back of Warriner hall and in front of shipping
entrances was not disoontiued immediately the offending cars would
be taken to t-ne new heating plant
and impounded until the owners
came to -claim them.
Up to this time authorities have
been content to issue warning tickets for the parking violations, but
this method has not produced the
desired results.
Adequate parking space for every ordinary occasion is   available
if students and faculty will utilise
the two new parking lots adjacent
to the campus, it was stated.

Judges for the contest were Mr.
Richard Lichtenfelt, representing
Keeler union; Helen Holz, representing A.W.S.; Jan Smits, representing Men's union; and two faculty members, Mr. Fred R. Bush and

Pfister Addresses
Appleblossom Club
"Rural-lsichoool Daze" was the;
topic of an address by Emil Pfister,
of the speech department, given"
before „the^ Appleblossom club at;
>their regular meeting January 12.;
Mr. pfister listed the problems
of a teacher as being three and
stated that the solution of any one
would automatically eliminate the
others. The problems were the
teacher; the student, and. the parents; by eliminating the students
of a school there is no trouble. If
we elfcnirjfljfce the teacher, again
there is no problem, and if we can
succeed in eliminating ithe parents
we automatically eliminate the
children and succeed in solving the
problem. '
