At Fireside Talks
Local ministers and University
faculty will present short talks on
the importance of religion to the
college student at every living
organization on the campus in to
night’s series of pre-week fireside
meetings. These meetings will
mainly serve as a preview to the
events that will occur during next

pletely undenominational in their
approach. After the talk’s conclu
sions, the members of the living
groups will join in general discus
sion with each member being
given an opportunity to openly ex
press his religious beliefs and con
victions.

Ray Hawk, director of men’s
affairs, presented the rules that
the traffic court has drawn up
from the ASUO constitution. He
praised the court's chairman,
Henry Adams, for the “good job”
he is doing on the court. Hawk
stated that he has heard many
favorable comments on the court’s
procedure from students who have
appeared before it.
The court is also working on a
new student parking permit. It
would be of the decal type, he said,
and would have the school colors.
Two more members are needed
on the court, Hawk added. Peti
tions have been called for and
Hawk urged women to apply for
the posts.

many violators who appear before
it are women,” he said.

chairman will be called for soon.
Tentative plans call for an indoor
track meet, plus other entertain
ment.
“This could turn into a profit
able venture for the ASUO,” Moun- ,
tain said. “I would like to see the
day when the student body can
operate on its own financially.
