Knights to publish student directories
The Knight residence directory is [now being revised for address and j telephone number changes, and will be distributed by the Knights throughout the university at convenient places, telephone booths, the foyer of the Student Union, near the information office, and at the Knight office on the second floor of the Student Union.
Carl Gebhart. in charge of the revision and distribution of the directories, requests all dormitories, fraternity and sororities, and other residence halls to bring to him any changes in their addresses and phone numbers at the Knight office.
“Friday is the deadline for sub mitting changes,” declared Gebhart, “and the Knights are hoping; all places of student residence will bring the changes to be made.”
This is the third time the direc tory hag been revised. Art Nelson, former Knight president, inaugurated the tradition three terms ago. From time to time the directory will be revised if necessary, and this is done only when changes are submitted.
Knights extend parking drive to Troy s lots
Service group plans measures to prevent blockading of traffic
Still striving to clear up Troy's parking situation, the Trojan Knights have laid plans to carry their campaign for safer, better parking into the university’s parking lots, according to an announcement by Jerry Hoytt, chairman of the drive.
Starting today, Knights and Squires will investigate the lots, and will issue tickets to those motorists who park in .the lot entrances and aisles.
Complaints have come in constantly to the effect that students who arrive late in the jnorning find the parking lots full and park directly in the exits, thus blocking all traffic from leaving the lots.
Bob Packard, clerk in the School of Law, declared that parking is especially erratic in the lot behind Bridge hall. At times the confusion is so great in that vicinity that drivers who wish to leave at noon find themselves trapped in the lot and are forced to push automobiles around to extricate themselves.
“We are trying our best to see that some order is maintained in parking at SC,” stated Forward. “Besides, every cent that we collect in fines will be used to provide a scholarship for some worthy student at this university.” Funds collected in the drive will be turned over to the university scholarship committee for use by an SC student next fall.

Schnabel has just concluded twro concerts in the Philharmonic auditorium under the auspices of the Music Guild, which he helped to start by performing an all-sonata recital in March, 1945, the proceeds of which, plus a considerable contribution from the pianist himself, went towards organizing the Guild.
“All students are invited to hear Mr. Schnabel’s talk on Friday,” stated Dr. Max Krone, associate director of the SC School of Music, and president of the Music Guild.

Visualizing rugged mountain peaks and the attempt of human beings to gain the top of these peaks, their struggle represented to gain the top of life, a large audience yesterday listened intrigued to Dr.^Garland Greever as he reviewed the* current best-seller by James R. Ullman, “The White Tower.”
Beginning with an introduction to the author, Dr. Greever gave a short account of Ullman's background. He was educated at Princeton after which he went to New York where he was very active in dramatics. Ullman produced the hit play, “Men in White.” He is also an expert mountain climber which gives his book an air of reality. An article on his mountain
climbing activities recently appeared in Life magazine.
Discussing the reason he had been chosen to review this particular book, Dr. Greever accredited it to the fact that he also is a mountain climber. He gave the audience a very interesting account of some of his own experiences in mountain climbing.
In speaking of a 14,000 foot climb he took up Longs Peak in Colorado one year. Dr. Greever said, “I, another man, and a mule made the trip; or if you rather. I, another mule, and a man.” With this note of humor, he began on the book.
He pointed out that the story has two characteristics which should be considered; the philoso-(Continued on Page 4)
