unpaved and generally does not come up to accepted standards.
The latter area is actually a grove of widely spaced pine trees — again “not suitable for parking.” UA Publicity Chairman Leon Cesa-rini remarked, “What can you park between trees—curved cars?”	'
ON THE BASIS of its aerial photos, the Coral Gables Traffic Commission told UA it has proposed a plan for the partitioning off of Main Campus next summer — if funds are available.
The projected city plan, not yet approved would seal off Miller Drive from the Merrick Building to the Ring Theater. To offset this, the city would widen San Amaro Drive into a four-lane highway.

The 85-piece University Symphony Orchestra will open its 33rd season Sunday under the baton of a man who, as a student, was thrown out of a classroom by famed Russian composer Rimsky-Korsakov.
Fabien Sevitzky, who will start his first season as symphony con- ! ductor, incurred the late im- ’ mortal’s wrath while studying at the Imperial Conservatory of Music at St. Petersburg, Russia. |
“l made too many mistakes on the blackboard," the now internationally acclaimed conductor explains.
Guest soloist at Sunday’s concert, at the Miami Beach Auditorium, and also Monday, at Dade County Auditorium, will be pianist Rudolph Firkusny. Both concerts begin at 8:30 p.m.
This week’s program includes Sevitzky’s arrangements of Kreisler’s “Praeludium and Allegro” and Brahm’s "Concerto for Piano and Orchestra” with Firkusny at the keyboard. Also featured will be Tchaikovsky’s Sixth Symphony, “Pathétique.”

Butt Sigma Chi
Hard Labor
Bv RICHARD GULINAS
The Sigma Chi hijackers who waylaid two Navy men and kidnaped the Navy goat—Bill XV —just before last Friday’s game were each sentenced to three hours’ hard labor on the UM chain gang this week
Only 26 participated in the actual heist but all 84 members of the fraternity have volunteered to work out the sentence on University grounds and parking lots.
Jim Thompson, fraternity president, chancellor of the Student Court and brains of the plot, said the idea was proposed to him by mail. An alumnus of Sigma Chi who wrote Thompson said his chapter had tried the stunt hut failed.
Thompson and his band of 25, however, made sure the UM attempt wouldn’t fall by the roadside. It was better planned than the Brinks’ job.
“THE IDEA was not a wild scheme hatched spontaneously in a bar room," said Thompson.
"I proposed it at a meeting and everyone approved it.”
Sigma Chi worked three weeks mapping the plot. They had men digging up information on the goal's trip down by plane and working out specific details to the second.
“We even knew the name of the pilot who flew the goal
to Miami ‘from Annapolis,” said Thompson.
He described the plan this
way:
’’The goat was taken oil the plane at Miami International Airport and loaded into a truck driven by two Navy men.
“About a quarter mile down Bird Road we had a car parked
“W'ell, it actually felt gond to be on the
winning side for a while

' The student body has gone through a period of informal learning with satisfactory results.”
This was the summation of the parking problem as reported by Dean of Students Noble Hendrix in a recent memorandum to University Vice President J. M. Godard
Some of his points differ from those made in this week’s Undergraduate Council report (above).
Referring to his
in a driveway. Another car. driving in front of the truck, forced the truck to stop as the second car pulled up behind.
“WE JUMPED the two men
and one started to swing, so we had to drag him out. I guess his finger got hurt a bit.”
The truck and goat then were driven to a garage in the 1500 block of NW 9th Street.
“We intended to march it onto the field at half time wearing UM colors,” said Thompson.
They changed their minds when Thompson learned the police were looking for the little white goat who had lost his way.
And how does University President Jay F. W. Pearson, a Sigma Chi himself, feel about the prank?
“Our efforts to participate in traditional ‘goat-napping’ were a bit premature in view of our new athletic relationship with Navy . . . After all, the goat was in the custody of the University when it was taken.“
summary as "the last memorandum on the subject	this semester." Hen-
drix praised the student body, along with the Undergraduate Association and Hurricane for an 1 "effective job" in informing the student body of the proper parking adjustments.
A five - point list of findings "pertinent from my viewpoint" were offered in Hendrix’ memorandum:
■	After the “first flurry of illegal parking," and police warnings. almost all illegal parking
had ceased.
■	The only hours when parking spaces cannot he found in main parking areas are 9-10 a m . Mondays. Wednesdays and Fridays.
■	At these hours parking areas south and west of the Student Health Center and west of the music temporaries are sparsely
ust‘d.
■	By the end of the second week "all the futile driving around" hat! ceased with students knowing where they could find spaces.
■	“Reasonable cooperation” had been secured from dorm students and fraternity members in leaving their cars in the fraternity house and dona-area parking lots.

“Some of our ‘parking lots’ are simply not parking lots.”
So concluded the Undergraduate Council ■i this week after an exploratory meeting on the parking situatioi . Headed by UA Secretarv-at-Large Bias Herrero, the group reached its conclusions with the aid of aerial photos taken by the Coral Gables Traffic Commission.
THE STUDY, Herrero reported, showed that about 46 per cent of dorm students drive to class. Further, photos taken of the 720 Women’s Dorm parking lot showed it 49 per cent empty at 9:30 a.m., a peak class time.
To combat the ill-use of space, a resolution
UM would like to use your head.
Students who think they know all the answers were asked last week to apply for CBS-TV’s “College Quiz Bowl.” So far only 20 students—mostly freshmen and sophomores—have applied.
The University has been invited to enter a team on the Dec. 13 show. The four-member team and its coach will receive an expense-paid trip to New York, where the program originates.
