TOO MANY STUDENTS
Car Lots Full
by Gordon Rice
Emerald Assistant News Editox. '
Ioiuuviu paraing lacintles on the
University of Oregon campus are
^as good as tan be expected in
[view of the increased enrollment
[according to I. I. Wright, physical
[plant superintendent.
Off-street parking facilities ex
ist for 656 cars in eight unrestrict
,<-d parking lots, plus parking spa's
jfor 120 cars in th<- veterans’ dor
jjjTiitory fiarking lots. No survey
pias yet been completed to show
the space available for on-street
parking.
f Largest of the parking lots L
near the teacher placement service
holds 13 cars. The latter area is
used primarily by the staff of that
; service.
The eighth lot, though techni
cally unrestricted, is .filled every
day by employees of the physical
plant. It is located near the physi
cal plant and has space for 64
cars.
One other lot, located west of
Johnson hall, holds 32 cars but is
restricted entirely to administra
tive personnel and visitors who
have business in Johnson hall.
The Friendly hall parking lot,

the lot at 11th and Kincaid, gen
erally known as the Fiji lot, which
holds 242 cars. Non-student park
ini; <n this area is not forbidden,
but is discouraged by university
officials. The Emerald hall lot is
the second largest, holding 143
cars. Parking in the Emerald lot
is unrestricted except for five
spaces for state cars and two
spaces reserved for doctors em
ployed at the infirmary.
The third large unrestricted
pai king area is at the corner of
11th and Kincaid and has space
for 100 cars.
Four smaller unrestricted lots
are scattered over the campus.
The largest of these is located
south of the Student Union, and
holds 41 cars. The parking area
south of Gerlinger Annex holds
30 cars, the area behind the music
[school holds 23, and the small lot
which was in use last year, has
been closed indefinitely because of
the construction going on in that
area.
Balanced against the parking’
lot facilities for 656 cars and an
undetermined amount of street
pat king, Student Traffic Court
chairman Carl Weber has esti
mated that approximately 1800
student parking stickers were is
sued last year. These cars are not
all on the campus at the same
time, but during the peak hours
on Monday, Wednesday, and Fri
day mornings, students are finding :
it difficult to locate parking space.
To relieve the problem during
these times, Wright has urged all j
students living near the campus
to leave their cars at home, in
stead of driving them to class, and
leaving them all day. Wright

Bunion Derby Plans
Aim Toward Friday
More Car Space
Soon Available
University of Oregon students
and football fans may soon have
parking space for more than 200
additional cars available to them.
The area made available by the
removal last summer of the trail
ers on 15th st. across from Hay
ward field, will be converted into
a permanent parking lot, holding
109 cars. The area on Agate st.
east of the tennis courts will be
converted into a temporary lot
which will hold another hundred.
New tennis courts will eventually
be installed in the temporary area.
The trailers, which were used
to house married students, were
sold at public auction July 10 and
had been removed bv Aug 10 Ac
cording to W. M. Douglass’ as
sistant business manager, the
trailers had deteriorated to a point
where it would cost more to re
pan them than they were worth.
The married students will live in
the Amazon housing project this
year.
The 58 trailers were sold for ap
proximately $100 apiece. The
money will be used to develop the
area.
Douglass, commenting on the
use of the trailers called them "a
very fine investment,” and said
they had paid for themselves.
They had been in use since 1946.
Thursday Night Set
For Senate Meet
First meeting of the 1953-54
ASUO senate will be held Thurs
day evening in the Student Union
according to ASUO president,
Tom Wrightson. Agenda for the
meeting will appear in Thursday's
Emerald.
Petitions to fill two class repre
sentative vacancies will be called
for next week, Wrightson said.
The vacancies exist in senior and
sophomore representative posi
tions.
[German Students Like Coeds
pregon coeas are me most Dean
girls I have ever seen.”
was the comment of German
ange student Jurgen Dob
e at a journalism press con
nce in the Emerald Shack
sday afternoon.
obberke is one of fife German
journalists who will be on the Ore
gon campus for the next six
months as part of the State De
portment’s German newspaper ex
change project this year. The oth
er exchange students speaking at
the conference included Hans A.
H. Biesenberger, Herbert John,
I^Dthar Loewe and Franz Oexle.
JThe five young men, all in their
enties and early thirties, were
uch impressed with Oregon and
e university campus. Eugene is
‘wonderful town,’ Dobberke said,
^ho compared the area with Ger
any's famed Blade Forest.
Job Is Risky
“The reporter’s job in Berlin to
y is particularly risky,” Loewe
mmented. The Russians have
dnappert some West German
f
t
journalists and one of his fellow
newspapermen was imprisoned for
‘war mongering,” he said.
Germany shows strong evidence
of the American influence in Eu
rope, Loewe continued. Nearly 50
per cent of the German popula
tion speak some English, and Eng
lish and American movies are fa
miliar sights now, he said.
There are few women in journal
ism today, Loewe added. He was
impressed by the large number of
women working in the office of
Time magazine, which the five ex
change students visited in New
York after docking there Sept. 9.
Broadcasts Effective
The Voice of America in Ger
many is proving an effective burr
in the Russians’ side, as shotvn
by their attempts to block the
broadcasts with air disturbances.
The young men said the programs
were good, particularly in news
service. However, they added that
it is dangerous for East Germans
to listen to the Western broadcasts
because of the constant threat of
being caught and arrested by the
Reds.
Summarizing the three basic
differences between German and
American newspapers today, Her
man John named 1. the American
system of using rewrite men, 2. the
practice of American newspapers
of putting their reporters all in
one room, and 3. the larger amount
of dollars in the American press.
The press in Germany is com
posed primarily of young men like
Oregon's new guests, or much old
er men. Many of the middle-aged
newspapermen were killed or im
prisoned during World war II.
Germans in the Russian zone are
hungry for news from the West
ern zones and a special edition,
small enough to be folded into a
coat pocket to escape detection, is
published in Berlin for East zoners
who cross the barriers to shop.
The German newspapermen’s
stay in the United States includes
six months of study in University
of Oregon classes, concentrating on
points of journalistic interest.
