Dean Calls Chaperones
A new faculty chaperone list is being compiled by administration officials to combat the chaperone shortage on campus.
Sorority and fraternity parties must be chaperoned. Two chaperones are needed for every 50 people in any organization having a social event, according to official University policy.
Noble Hendrix, dean of students, sent letters to all faculty members last week in an effort to get more volunteers for chaperones.
Dr. Kessel Schwartz, chairman of the modem language department, suggests that a special committee be set up.
“A special faculty committee should be chosen for each sorority and fraternity on campus,” said Dr. Schwartz.
“Police sentiment” on the part of students is one explanation given by faculty members unwilling to act as official chaperones for parties.
Faculty members want to be a part of the social activity and want to participate in the function rather than act as a censor, explained Norman “Chink” Whitten, Student Union manager.
“I want a party to acknowledge that I am around, to have the
participants conduct themselves properly and at no time feel that my participation would hinder the activity,” said Whitten.
“It is up to the social organization to provide a congenial atmosphere so that more faculty members volunteer,” remarked Whitten.
Drop Courses By Tuesday
Tuesday is the last day a student may drop a course without receiving a failing grade.
Before a course may be dropped, students must report to the office of their academic dean and fill out a triplicate “drop” form giving his reasons for withdrawal.
Talk Shop, Drink
Students and faculty can meet informally at Wesley Foundation for coffee, donuts and talk from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. today. The daily gabfests are designed to encourage better student-faculty relationships.
The informal talks were begun last week as a non-denomi-national service.

Lawyers Fire At System
By ELAYNE GILBERT Hurricane Managing Editor
Former Undergraduate Student Government money-man Ted Klein this week accused the University administration of 1960-61 of using USG as a scapegoat in passing the parking plan.
A Law School junior, Klein was USG treasurer in 1961 when officials started the drive to make students shell out money for stickers.
“Our group became the University scapegoat. The whole idea to pass a parking law came from the old administration,” Klein said.
The proposal that students pay for parking on campus was brought up in the spring of 1961.
“I moved to table the issue. The motion has never been picked up from the table,” remarked Klein.
“No proposal approving student parking fees has gone through USG in the last two years,” explained Klein.
In the summer of 1961, two students and five officials met together to work out the parking fee and fine costs.
“Students never voted on the parking issue and they were not represented by USG,” said Klein. “They weren’t consulted either directly or by representation.
“The plan itself was not student originated. The students had no voice in approving the methods of enforcement,” Klein emphasized.
Law School senior Bias Her-rero earlier this semester challenged USG to find out where student parking fees are going.
“Two students and some faculty members decided to impose the parking fee. The original purpose has long been perverted,” Herrero stated this week.
Herrero’s letter to USG asked them to investigate the student parking situation and fees.
The money, Herrero noted, was supposed to be used to alleviate the cost of operating the parking regulation program.

First Cool Air Hints Bench Wanning Month
November is bench warming month on college campuses.
The first hint of cool air brushed the campus on two mornings this week and benched 4,000 students.
- During summer months it was feared that not enough students would sit down to make it worth maintaining benches. Summer session scholars prance too swiftly to it.
But cool air has turned the
trick.
In one week, the sitting posture has caught on. Coeds
dress in sweaters for benches. Men catch sight of benches and realize how comfortable it might be to relax on wood.
Athletes tired from touch football take halftime breaks reading books on benches.
And, after the athletes have gone indoors, Florida animals and insects scamper on the same seats.
VVCdUlCi, CK.EUI uxxi
to local forecasters, continue until birds fly north. But fc such sitting, November is th brightest month.

Ask End To Fee; Keep Firm Hold
‘	By GILL RTTT

A student move to abolish the five-dohar parking fee and reduce parking fines was blocked this week by administrative members of the parking evaluation committee.
After two weeks discussion, the five-member committee was deadlocked two-two with one member absent from the Wed-
nesday meeting.
Each side has sent its case to President Henry King Stanford for consideration.
At the final meeting, administrative members—John O’Day, physical plant director, and Noble Hendrix, dean of students—submitted a compromise proposal which would have given Undergraduate Student Government power to administer the parking program but no power to adjust the fine scale downward.
The proposal was rejected by Stu Bloch, USG president, and Mike Klein, vice president.
“Without reduction of the present fine rates, we do not want to assume responsibility for handling appeals of tickets,” Bloch explained.
The two USG representatives said students should have a fine system which parallels “that in any municipality.”
They stressed these points in their report to Stanford.
Hendrix and O’Day held that the parking committee should not concern itself with money, but with enforcement of present parking regulations.
Earlier this week, the USG Council backed Bloch and Klein in the move to eliminate the five-dollar parking fee.
At the committee meetings, the members studied the report on parking finances submitted earlier this semester by O’Day.
The report was drawn up at Stanford’s request when USG first began to probe the parking situation.
“After reviewing this report, we found no justification for any fees,” Klein said. “The money collected in fines is more than enough to cover costs of the present parking system.”
Klein said USG is preparing a report on the availability of parking spaces on an hour-to-hour basis.
O’Day said the physical plant would also study the crowded situation and might extend hours for exclusive commuter parking privileges on main campus lots.
These two moves have been prompted by unusually heavy lot loads this year.

USG Dumps Parking Fee
Undergraduate Student Government Council members this week voted unanimously to abandon the University’s parking fee system.
The representatives said Monday they “cannot encourage members of the student body to pay for parking stickers.”
The Council also instructed Stu Bloch, president, and Mike Klein, vice president, to demand an end to the fee at the ^week’s meetings of the student-faculty-administration perking committee meetings.

Leaders Charge Fee Fraud
By GILL RITT

Two ’student leaders have charged the administration with fraud, deception and breach of faith in handling the parking fee program.
Stu Bloch, Undergraduate Student Government president, and Mike Klein, USG vice president, made the charges in a parking committee report to President Henry King Stanford.
The government leaders labeled the five dollar fee unjustified and called for its end. Their evaluation is based on the financial report submitted to Stanford by John O’Day, physical plant director.
“The $27,000 costs which the report maintains is spent on the program is a deception and an effort to justify an injustice to the student body,” Bloch said.
“After evaluating the report it is evident that less than $5,000 is needed to operate the parking program,” he pointed out. “The only additions made since students began paying have been the commuter decals.”
According to the O’Day report, the University paid $22,-000 to run the parking program prior to the first student fee funds in 1961, Klein explained. The cost is now supposedly $27.000.
The student leaders charged the previous administration went back on its word that a parking fee would be limited to one dollar.
“The original committee investigating parking had agreed upon one dollar, but Dr. Robert Johns (executive vice president) — acting on his own — installed the current five dollar fee,” Klein explained. O’Day and Noble Hendrix, dean of students, who represented the University at this week’s parking committee meetings, had no comment yesterday about the Klein and Bloch report to Stanford.
