“The new buildings should be quite a substantial help to us," commented Dean Robert E. Vivian, of the College of Engineering. “We are desperately short oS space right now.”

fired back into the faces of SC commuters when it was revealed by Councilman Carl Rasmussen that the "proposals” are in the talking stage only.
Need few the additional pax kin* areas was brought out in an informal survey by the Daily Trojan and was echoed by Councilman J. Wynne Austin of the third district who propounded:
“The parking situation m and around the university is badly "in need of improvement— a condition which has existed for years. I’m not sure if the Rasmussen plan will solve the problem but some remedy is essential.”
An AMS survey of the parkin* problem, led by President Terry Ragan, will report to ASSC senate after personal contacts with student motorists this week. This survey is expected to reveal suggestion* by the local commuters to help relieve the critical condition. j In the plan offered by Councilman Rasmussen, chairman of the council's planning commission, the three “proposals” include the establishment of both underground and aboveground parking facilities in Exposition park and the clearing of property around the coliseum for increased parking space.
Financial Vice-President Robert D. Fisher announced that the university had no recommendations to make but would be open to suggestions by the student and ctvle leaders.
Reds Recapture Chinese General
NANKING, WEDNESDAY. Feb. 12 — (IIP)—The National Defense Ministry today confirmed the recapture by Communists of Gen. Hoh Feng-Chu, former top Communist commander on the Shantung front who was assigned a government post after he surrendered t® Nationalist forces late last month.
Gen. Hoh. who became a Nationalist pacification commander at Shantung and commander-in-chief of the 42nd group army after his surrender, reportedly fell back into Communist hands on Feb. 8.
His forces, consisting of two divisions, continued to battle Communists in south Shantung under the command of Hoh's deputy, Pi Hsue-Wen, who jssued a warning to opposing forces against maltreating his captured commander.
Meanwhile, the Nationalist* now claim to be maneuvering around Lin-Yi. an important Red stronghold in south Shantung, awaiting the order for a final blow at the beleaguered city. Other Nationalist columns were fighting off Communist attacks against their flanks in a delaying action.
