Gone were the helter-skelter patterns of student cars which had arrived at five-to-eight and were left at any and all angles. In their place were neat, concise rows of cars, perpendicular to 38th street. Traffic was being directed courteously and quickly by three students. There were no jammed aisles, no lines of cars waiting in the street to take their turns in hazarding thc tangled interior of the lot. What’s more, the number of cars that entered the lot was not decreased. And students wishing to leave the lot were able to get in their cars and drive out—instead of moving
five or six autos jamming the entrances.
Laurels for this new, intelligent system and its operation belong to Jack Shaffer and his independent council. ^Vnd while we congratulate Shaffer and his group for their action, we lament the fact that after two years of wrangling, of committee appointments. of pledges by leaders of SC’s service groups, it remained for a single campus group—and a small one at that—to ease the rigors of the commuter with one decisive and sudden move.
The problem is not solved: but at last someone has chosen direct action in place of useless debate. —Ted Shields.
BEFORE AND AFTER—The above picture shows the parking situation as it existed Sept. 24 on the lot behind Science hall, while the larger photo on the right, taken this week, is a preview of even better things for Trojan commuters. University officials have announced that lines for parking spaces and aisles may be marked soon, and other improvements made.

Must Have World Government Or Face Atom Bomb—Hutchins
The radiation from the Bikini bomb—multiplied by 100,000—could make the United States uninhabitable if the bomb were dropped on the west coast.
This was one of the theories advanced by Dr. Robert M. Hutchins, chancellor of the University of Chicago and American educator, at a news conference at the Town House ----I this week.
Dr. Hutchins doubts Russia possesses the atomic bomb, but estimated it would be in Soviet possession within four years. Reiterating the scientific “no secret” theory concerning the bomb, Dr. Hutchins stated that it was only a matter of industrial know how which detained the Russians, since they have at least 36 of the world's foremost atomic scientists, including

benefit concert Sunday in Hancock auditorium at 2:30 p.m.
Miss Bitter’s reputation as a concert and recording artist was brought to light during concert tours throughout Canada, the middle west, the south, and the Pacific coast recently.
Winner of numerous scholarships, Miss Payne is a former SC faculty member. In 1933 she won the Indiana Composers Guild prize, and in 1941 the National League of Pen Women’s prize. The CBS string symphony, the New York Philharmonic String section, and the Rochester Civic orchestra are some of the major orchestras that have pet-formed her compositions.
The Mu Nu chapter of Mu Phi Epsilon, national professional music sorority, offers $100 in scholarships to women students of the SC College of Music each year. This amount, divided into two awards of t50 each, is awarded as a prize for outstanding performance in a contest held at SC. The competition is judged by outstanding musicians in this city.
Evelyn Strum, graduate student, and Lorraine Brown, sophomore, will receive their prizes of $50 each at the benefit concert for their piano and voice performances respectively in the contest held last month.

“World government Is necessary, therefore it is possible; we must first find out what it is and then take definite measures toward its attainment.”

Have you ever seen the investiture of the Sacred Shirt and Thread?
This holy rite of confirmation in Zoroastrianism will be illustrated when Dr. Floyd Ross, associate professor of world religion and acting chairman of the Graduate School of Religion, discusses “Zoroastrianism” in Bowne hall Monday afternoon at 3:15.
Mr. Moos Nanabhoy, Parsee from India and 80-year-old graduate student in comparative religion, will demonstrate the Sacred Shirt and Thread investiture, similar to the Christian confirmation.
Zoroastrianism, believed to be the world’s oldest living religion, originated in ancient Persia. It is followed almost exclusively in India by more than 100,009 people, of whom 50,000 live in Bombay. These people are called Parsees.

As yet nothing has been decided about paying the student attendants but Mr. Macbeth indicated that an investigation is being made on the possibility of paying them.
Jack Shaffer head of tne senate parking committee conferred yesterday with Mr. Macbeth and is preparing to secure additional volunteer attendants until the payment decision is rendered. He is also endeavoring to work out an acceptable method to charge those who park in tiie lot a small fee.

ROBERT M. HUTCHINS . . . dependable barometer?
if present speeches of ominous portent were intended primarily for home consumption or were really a dependable barometer of the world’s temper.
Calling for more peace talk and less “rattling of our atom bombs,” Dr. Hutchins criticized plans for universal military training, saying that energies should be concentrated on winning the peace.
LITTLE RED DANGER “Our most impelling concern is to create a good post-war record 10 impress the world that we are a peaceful power,’’ he added. Denouncing the political overtones ot the Marshall plan, he said we should help foreign peoples in need simply because the pecple need help, not for the political rewards to be reaped.
Dr. Hutchins also discounted communist danger in th's country, saying that the best way to defeat communism is to show the American governmental system really works.
Biology Fraternity Will Hear Talks
What has botany contributed to the scientific age of this and other eras?
This question will be answered at the regular monthly meeting of Phi Sigma, national biological research fraternity, at 8 p.m. tonight in 145 Hancock hall by three speakers. They will discuss biology’s gifts to science.
Dr. George R. Johnstone, professor of botany, will talk on “The Significance of the Green Plant.” Dr. Louis C. Wheeler, professor and head of the botany department, will discuss the contributions of land plants.
