JP Parking Solutions
Feasible, Necessary

If Mr. Johnson cares enough to
be informed, here is the reasoning
of the Jefferson Party candidates.
The purpose of a busing plan is to
attack student problems in the area
of transportation. The Grounds of
this University should be more
pedestrian traveled and less
automobile traveled.

This proposal would allow
students and faculty living off the
Grounds, to park at a large central
lot (i.e. U. Hall) and then be based
to class. This serves to lighten the
traffic load and to make parking a
convenience rather than a
headache.

Concerning the sub-ground
parking, as Mr. Johnson would
already know if he had done any
research, the new education school
was originally designed to include 3
levels of sub-ground parking.

We feel this plan should be
reincorporated and would strive for
the same. It is both feasible and
necessary!

Bathtub War

Once again, the CD has
succeeded in creating an issue
where none has existed before. The
"Great Bathtub War" has begun,
and the battle lines are being
drawn. Soon, a resolution will be
passed in the Student Council to
allow dorm residents to have as
many bathtubs as they want.
Needless to say, dorm residents
(bribed, in the grand old Hearstian
tradition, by the CD in order to
promote the war?) will rush out to
scour the junkyards and lumber
companies of the burg in search of
the ten-dollar wonders.

The Housing Office will react
violently and a period of intensive
negotiation will ensue, resulting
(Voila!) in an agreement restoring
the status quo antebellum. Net
result-nobody won, nobody lost,
and a hell of a lot of effort was
expended for nothing.

Has it ever occurred to you, Mr.
Main, to reconsider some of your
absurd actions, and to the CD to
reconsider your absurd reactions to
Mr. Main's absurdities? Maybe if
both of you (and some of the other
scholars around this place) began
thinking once in a while, something
important might get done.
