W. Pallett, assistant to the president, said in a statement Wednesday. At present, one of the most serious problems to be confronted is that of parking. There are three University-owned parking spots on the campus. One of them, located near the music school has no restric tions. The lot next to Johnson hall and the one behind Friendly hall are reserved for faculty members who work in the immediate vicinity, and for persons coming to the Uni versity on official business. As these areas are not large enough to take care of all Univer sity automobiles, an attempt is being made to secure several more large lots near the campus. Dr. Pallett praised the efforts being made by the Emerald in re gard to this problem. “We feel that the suggestion originally initiated in the Emerald that students living in any quarters adjacent to the cam pus refrain from bringing cars to the campus would be a real help,” he said. Another plan—to eliminate traf fic on thirteenth street during the changing of classes—was discussed by President Harry K. Newburn and city officials in a two-hour ses sion Monday. The street committee will refer a plan to the city coun cil October 14 whereby two stop lights would be installed on the busy thoroughfare. Dr. Pallett urged that all students cooperate in the present situation, and voiced the assurance that everything possible would be done to solve the difficult problems now confronted by students, University officials, and Eugene alike.

Prof. Webb is the only campus representative attending. Buzz Sigma Chi 'For Hair Beauty’ During the past three weeks stu dents on this campus who have tried to call the Sigma Chi house received a shock when they dialed the number published in the Wel come book, which was given as 565. Hopefully dialing this number, the guy or gal would listen attentively for the answer, when all of a sud den a nice feminine voice would say, “Gibson’s, for hair beauty.” Letting their curiosity get the better of the shock, callers imme diately asked if that was the Sigma Chi house, showing evident lack of distinction between a beauty shop and a fraternity. According to the operator of Gibson’s, one belliger ent co-ed insisted that Gibson's was Sigma Chi and kept insisting until the owner of the place hung up. i Sigma Chi’s number is 5471, not 565. Houses Nominate Sigma Chi Girls Names of entrants in the 1946 Sigma Chi Sweetheart contest were announced today by Augie Johnson, Sigma Chi social chairman.
