FACULTY PARKING An unwritten editorial whichI have often expected to appear is one pointing out how for practical- ly every fault blamed on the pres- ent student generation, there ex- ists to a large degree and in some cases worse form, similar ones among those who constitute the other part of the university body. To give vent to ones feelings in this column of the Daily is almost sufficient to brand one as belonging towards the bottom of such a list but the announcement which occur- red in the Daily bulletin on July 16th concerning faculty parking makes one feel that he must follow the example of the student and let out a wail. Faculty members certainly are not exempt from the possibility of doing very petty things but we do not believe that the number that do do such is very large. Nor do we believe that the cases suggested by the recent bulletin are as bad as the temper of the order would in- dicate, even though it did incite the city daily to an editorial on the subject. A few months ago the writer drove in and parked along side two other cars and was told immediate- ly to move his car to the east end of the parking space. On asking the new man on duty as to why he could not park alongside these oth- er cars, received the reply that Mr. always parked in that particu- lar place. "But what about the second car?" To this there was a similar reply. As to how one re- I ceived these special privileges how- ever, the officer hesitated to state. Not more than a week later on driving in and parking at what seemed the proper place and also what seemed sufficiently close to the neighboring car, the same of- ficer was in the car before the owner had entered the building and was reparking it closer to the one next to it. On returning to the car there was the evidence of the officer's over eagerness,-a scar received from the opening of the neighboring car door. On at least two other occasions there were very adequate reasons for not wishing to park at certain parts of the parking space and when there was ample room elsewhere. I All the particular cases one might mention of course proves nothing, but such treatment as this to mem- bers of the faculty by an ever so competent parking expert doesn't seem to indicate that he should have the sole power to oust con- scientious objectors at will. Could there not be some marking on the curbstone on either side of the door of University hall and at the entrance, showing where park- ing shall begin or end? And since all cars regardless of make are es- sentially the same width, could not alleys be marked off all along to prevent misuse of space? If either or both of these are undesirable we would appreciate being told about it (by the parking committee) for it does seem this would help to avoid the trouble which the order is trying to correct C(omplaining) Parker. l 0- n TASEDOLL LOOKING S OVER THE LATEST ' This is the day of the pessimist, when prohibition has been shifted to the background as a topic of conversation and all the barber- shop business men and retired auc- tioneers gather together to discuss the dire financial and industrial condition of our country. With de- mands that the "government do something about this and about that", and with mucli dark fore- boding of the future, these indiv- iduals have succeeded in getting the ear of the nation. Without doubt America has en- tered upon a time of difficulties. Many causes and reasons have been suggested for it, but they do not alter the fact of its existence. We are at the low point of a busi- ness cycle, waiting and hoping for the .rise to begin. However, it is not realized, apparently, that we are delaying the advent of better conditions by heeding the preach- ings of the pessimists. It is a fool's psychology of "follow the leader" that has made us a nation afraid to dig in and work for new success and prosperity. Henry Ford and Thomas Ed-ison have both pointed out in recent in- terviews that the American public is potentially capable of an imme- diate rise from the slough of busi- ness and industrial failure into which it has fallen, but that it is afraid to buy, and sell, and trade, and get back into the fight for a, better footing. It is, at least in part, fear alone that is causing our unemployment situation, our sur- pluses on home markets, and our increasing business losses. True it is that there were 423 major business failures in the Unit- ed States for the week ending July 31, as compared to 368 for the same time last year and 271 for the year preceding. True it is also that 66 out of 95 lines of business in New York City report collections less than those of a year ago. We can and do still contend, however, that these are mere evidences of the same psychology that has affected us in all lines in all parts of the country. To look on the more op- timistic side of the situation, wheat exports are practically equal to those of last year, textiles have shown little decline, and both wholesale and retail trade, espec- ially in some branches of the steel trade and the automobile industry, show greater resiliency. Unless the nation can show an assured fighting spirit and a high degree of optimism in the present situation, it must seem that theJ easy prosperity which has been' America's for some time has taken, away all our individual initiative and made us turn accusingly and" expecta'itly toward our already overburdened federal governmenta with the complaint that it hasj caused our difficulties and with theI demand that it should relieve and subsidize us. Why delay the up-t ward swing of the pendulum withr a pessimistic and conservative at-I titude? Now is the time to invest;I now is the time to produce; now is1 the time to work. There is noth-i lng but this "fool's psychology" re-I3 do Some day we are going to hunt: up the person who first started the . idea of putting captions on the Rolls Column - such as the weak one above-and draw and quarter him with a right good will. When our readers realize that a good twenty-five minutes of the twenty- six that it takes to compose this popular column are consumed in deciding what sort of drivel will be printed at the top of it, the sym- pathy of many critical tongues' will be melted into tears of con- trition. With which parenthetics Out of the way, Let us proceed to the News of the day. -Poem. ' As we noted hereabouts yester- day, they publish a paper out in I Seattle, Washington, which bears the important title of "The Twice- A-Week University District Herald," and contained in its chummy col- umns are to be found items of sur- passing wonderful rhetoric. From an article entitled Three Meals a Day! Three Times That In Hospitable Honolulu we glean the following item of in- terest: "We partook of the famous 'luau' festival given in our honor by full- blooded Hawaiians. The luau is a traditional tribal feast, eaten in the open, with the fingers. We were supposed to sit on the ground, but out of deference to some of the rmembers of our party, we were al- lowed to eat at a leaf covered table. "For food we had a variety of meats, rolled in ti leaves and roast- ed on hot stones. For dessert we had 'poi,' a very fattening Hawai- ian pastry." Somehow we have always coveted that we-know-what-we're-talking- about-whether-you-do-or-not style which manages to drag in curious words by the score. With the kind consideration of our readers-who must realize that we write this aft- er having spent a delightful, if too- extended, afternoon at a nearby bathing beach - we shall recount our adventures at Whitmore Lake in this extremely interesting if somewhat obscure style. Thus- * * * We spent yesterday afternoon in a most enjoyable fashion, partak- ing of a good "blbj" or gdzk" as it is often called by the well-tanned natives who frequent the "blbj- fltfyoy" (a native expression for bathing-beach which translated means shore-of-the-many-washed up-dead-carp) in great numbers, coming from many miles inland in their crude "Fjords" and "Whgip- pets"-odd vehicles that are pos- sessed in the main by "plefpts" or insolvent students taking summer school courses because there are no jobs to be had. We were supposed to go into the "sljop"-water-but out of a keen desire to get a sunburn we remain- ed for the most part on the "htx." At the conclusion of our after- noon's ceremony, we went to the central "gyjp" and bought "pkop," "htoosgd," and stuck coins into the I "Sijotmachinje," an innocent form of amusement developed by the simple natives to an art of surpris- ing complexity. There is nothing quite like the spirit of these westerners, either, and we read that a certain Mr. C. E. F-, who with his wife, son, and daughter has just returned from an automobile trip to North- ern Idaho, "is loud in his praise of crop conditions in the PalouseI Country, which promise to surpass everything in the history of the country."

If Bowles was elected-and he prob- ably was-by the underworld ele- ment, either that city abounds in a large number of crooks or only a small minority of respectable citizens voted.

I An interesting example of organization is the development of long distance telephone business. Men and women of the Bell System made this service worthy, and the public has recognized this by its greatly in- creased usage. The Bell Laboratories improved the quality of sound transmission by modifying existing apparatus and designing new. Western Elec- tric manufactured the necessary equipment of the highest standards. Operating telephone companies, working with the American Tele- phone and Telegraph Company, shortened the time for completing calls and reduced the rates. In all a coordinated work, bringing to- gether many and varied activities, and typical of the way in which telephone service is constantly being made a better tool for the nation's needs.
