University Traffic Problems
Considered by Authorities
Municipal and Campu s Officials Work
To Relieve Thirteenth Street Congestion
By BILL YATES
University officials, together with officials of the city, are
busily working out plans to alleviate the congested traffic situa
toin created on the campus this year by the increased auto and
foot traffic, Dr. E. 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.
District Publishers Set
Forest Grove Meeting
Publishers of six Oregon coun
ties will gather at Forest Grove
Saturday for a meeting of the Ore
gon Newspaper Publishers’ asso
ciation, according to Carl C. Webb,
manager of the association.
Charles A. Sprague, former gov
ernor of Oregon, publisher of the
Oregon Statesman, and president of
the publishers association, will pro
vide the keynote of the meeting
when he discusses current problems
facing newspaper publishers.
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.
