Fiftieth Year of Publication and S ervice to the University UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1948 VOLUME L NUMBER 15 Judges Pick Hostess Finalists Officials Seek Parking Cure For University No immediate solution is in sight for the University campus parking problem, now aggravated by the forthcoming posting of “no park ing” signs on portions of Alder, Patterson, and Hilyard streets, according to University and city officials contacted yesterday. E. M. Pallett, assistant to the president, said that there is little that the University can do about the situation, since all open areas suitable for parking have been ex hausted. Graveling of the lot behind the Phi Gamma Delta house this sum mer is credited with helping to ease the problem somewhat. “Eventually,” said Pallett, “all the area between East 11th and the new highway will be parking epace. Meanwhile, it seems to me that the best solution is for stu dents living in houses close to the campus to leave their cars at home.” For students living in fraterni ties and sororities facing on Alder street, this will mean parking their cars on side streets.
