Pallett, registrar, said Wednesday. The lots at Friendly hall and Johnson hall are reserved, he explained, to those -faculty members having offices immediately adjacent to those buildings and other people trans acting business with University heads. Stickers Issued “It has been a long-standing regulation,” Mr. Pallett declared, “that students should refrain from parking in these lots.” The lot by the music building, however, is open to all as are all campus streets. To facilitate identification of faculty cars permitted to park in the two restricted lots stickers have been mailed to those con cerned. These stickers will aid the campus policeman in identifying cars unauthorized to use the lots. Three Lots Available Mr. Pallett pointed out that other colleges have many acres of streets available which they can control. The Eugene city streets, of course, are not controlled by the University, he said, so that only the three small lots are avail able for control. Student violators of parking regulations will probably receive cards notifying them that they are acting against necessary rules.

My wife has been on short rations for a long while.” “Everything But Irish” Serfling down on a sofa to talk about music and his program in \ McArthur court this evening, Mr.; Thomas, who describes himself as “everything but Irish,” mused, “I wouldn’t choose a selection that didn't have a beautiful story. The words should count. Of course, it must also have a terrific melody. When a piece has both it’s perfect. Like Dupark’s Fourteen Perfect Songs.” “This audience, I suppose,” he went on, “will be somewhat dif ferent than the usual one as it will have a mixture of students and older people. But all audi ences,” the baritone emphasized, “are really the same- -that is, they reflect the artist.” War Camp Entertainer In his tours during the war Mr. Thomas sang in more hospitals I and camps than any other travel ing artist. “Soldiers are the same as students; they appreciate all types of music.-There is no special stress on jazz.

But I feel sorry for those who don’t like their music too ‘tuneful’.” Music Appreciation For many pieces, however, Mr. Thomas believes one needs some musical basis to appreciate them. ‘It’s like building a house,” he ex (Please Turn to Page Tight) Summer Camp Officials Meet Counselors Are Sought Among Oregon Students Students interested in summer camp counseling should make it a point to attend the conference to be held Thursday by the Oregon section of the American Camping association, the dean of women's office announced Wednesday.
