Eight carloads of persons were involved in the episode, not 24, as thought by Oregon State students spying along the route to Corvallis. Seven Cars Decoy; Eighth Pours Kerosene According to the information, seven cars drove to the spot where the fire had been built, while the eighth, which had the kerosene used in setting the fire, approached the scene from another direction. The group with the kerosene sneaked up behind the fire, which was guarded by only 15 Aggies, while the rest of the delegation started a commotion to detract the guards, The Aggies were completely confused as to what was taking place the source reported. As the “foreigners” began throwing the kero.-ene on the bonfire, the Beavers kept asking, “Wherc'rc you from? Wherc'rc vou from?” Firesetters Claim They Are Beavers Some of the firesetters said they were from OSC and re portedly got along fine. A burning stick from one of the small fires the guards had been using to keep warm was thrown on the pile and the bon fire blazed up. However, according to one person involved, it was not a very good fire, although it momentarily blazed about 40 feet high ; it couldn't be seen from more than three blocks away, and it fell apart shortly after it was set. The Aggies tried putting out the blaze with mud immediately after it was lit. but the fire burned to rapidly, the source said. Those responsible for setting it left in a hurry, reportedly very pleased, a> everything had gone “according to plan.” General Committee Chairmanships Announced for 1951 Homecoming General chairmanships for the 1951 Homecoming celebration were announced Sunday by Frances Gil piore, Homecoming chairman. They arc as follows: General secretary, Bruce Wal lace; Finance, Bob Metz assisted by ] Alpha Gamma Delta sorority and University Parking Problems Told As Students/ Faculty Seek Relief (Thin is the first in a series of three articles by the Emerald on the faculty-student parking prob lem: Editor's note.) By Bob Southwell With more than 2,000 student and faculty owned cars, and park ing lots to accomodate 775 cars, the University of Oregon is ex periencing parking difficulties. Two major parking problems are currently before the administra tion: 1. Some faculty members have asked for reserved parking privel eges; the administration has de clined. 2. The Student Court thinks that Emerald hall afid Fiji parking lots should be closed to non-uni versity people; the administration doesn't agree. Is the faculty entitled to re served parking privileges? In st motors on the affirmative have formed a committee to protest the Campus Planning commission's ac tion of last spring. Until this term the Emerald hall lot contained eight or nine reserved parking spaces for the faculty, the Friendly hall lot accomodated faculty mem bers only and the Johnson hall lot contained five reserved spaces. Reserved Parking Reduced The Campus Planning commis sion reduced the reserved parking privileges of Emerald Hall lot to two spaces for doctors' cars and two spaces for official state cars of the business office. It opened Friendly hall lot on a first come, first serve basis, until the science building’s completion closes it en tirely. At the same time it in creased Johnson ball lot’s reserved area to 2f spaces. This apparent policy reversal of the planning commission was gaged to increase efficiency, ac cording to W. C. Jones, dean of administration. He went on to ox plain that the reserved spaces are allotted to university officials who find it nepessary to leave their parking place often and would waste expensive time searching for another one. Out of the 24 reserved spaces of Johnson hull lot, 18 are reserved for the administrative staff. This refers to the president's office, the chancellors, the Bureau of Mu nicipal Research, the deans and Co-op officials. Areas for two service cars and four visitors' cars complete the reserved segment. Faculty Misunderstands Jones observed that the dissent ing faculty group would probably understand and support the new Johnson hall lot regulation when completely informed about the awkward situation of cars leaving their parking places often. "It was probably a mistake of timing on our part when student parking restrictions were taken off at the same time some officials re tained their reserved place,” Jones said. "The net result was dissatis faction because some instructors couldn’t always park in the lot i next door.” On the negative side, perhaps the university faculty should be entitled to the private parking privileges which always accomo dated them until this year. Opin ions given in the next article of this series will reveal a cross sec tion opinion of both students and faculty on the faireness of the new regulation. But once a final deci sion is made, the debate on park ing still won't be settled, for it is twofold. Should Emerald and Fiji park ing lots be closed to all non-univer sity people? The student court is recommending such a regulation. Said student court chairman Mike Adams: "We will strongly advo cate it to the planning commis sion, since it is an administrative I problem." j He went on to explain his thesis of inadequate parking in the vital campus sections. After quoting the campus lots' capacity at 775 spaces, he pointed out that there must be many more student cars than the 1,442 now registered, since last year's total was 2.400. With so many cars for so few spaces, the student court consid ; ors ithe closed parking lot essen tial. Other Problems Arise At the same time. Jones insisted, "If you arc going to have restrict ed lots you must have a police force. The university police force is not sufficiently large and we can t support a larger one.” He cited schools in such metro politan areas as Berkeley, Los An geles and Seattle as employing such a system to alleviate a severe parking shortage, but at the same time hiring a large police force to enforce the regulation. Mike Adams thought that uni versity's one policeman, Jens P, Jensen, “could patrol the two lots without any extra help." Policeman Jensen himself said: "Dean Jones is entirely right I have too much to do as it is." He described his present duties as a two-man job, for besides handling all general police work on the campus such as complaints, etc., he must take 20 minutes out of every hour to patrol 13th ave. as classes change. Fiji Lot Never Pull In addition Jones cited the Fiji lot as never being full, thereby making restricted parking un necessary. “There has not yet been a day when no parking spaces were avalable there,” Jones said. The major parking lots accom odate 550 ears. There are the Em erald lot at 13th and Emerald, the Friendly lot behind Friendly hall, 1 tPlease luni to page eight) Alpha Phi Omega.
