A lengthy and otherwise routine ASSC Senate meeting briefly touched the simmering point for a time last night with an exchang e of pleasantries involving President Bob Padgett and Senators Bill Gray, Bob Scoilin , and June Tapp.
The abbreviated flurry was touched off when Padgett called for a certain report from Gray, independent students representative. Gray replied that the report was not ready due
* to trouble he had encountered in , forming a council.
This was zero hour. The firing began.
“May I ask for the reasons as to why the Senator has had trouble in forming a council?" Senator-at-large Bob Scoilin asked.
‘•My council-forming troubles have stemmed from things which I do not choose to explain here.” Gray replied. “To explain would involve personalities.”
The women's auxiliary rushed to the offensive.
“As an independent, I would like to know w.hat happened and why,’’ Senator Mrs. Tapp queried.
Gray declined to comment because the “whole deal is an attempt to embarrass me.”
Padgett closed the encounter with the observation that he could not iorce a member to give a report at a particular time.
Greater-U committee’s Frank O’Sullivan gave the preliminary results of the recent parking survey, highlighted by the possibility that University avenue may be closed for temporary parking, closed to through traffic, and finally, removed and replaced with lawn when additional parking area is available. O'Sullivan noted that 1100 man-hours had been used in conducting the preregistration survey.
Bob Flowers, former Greater-U chairman and business manager of the 1949-50 student handbook, the current one, presented a financial report on the fall edition, a report which had been demanded by the Senate at its last meeting. Some senators were still dissatisfied with

SIGNS MEAN BUSINESS
Two sources of confusion emerged from the comments offered yesterday. The most prevalent attitude was that the black curb seemed to indicate that side of the street as open to parking. The fact that “No Paiking" signs line the black curb was either not noticed or ignored.
The sheep-like attitude of others who parked on the avenue when they found so many others already there was given as the excuse by two parkers who received tickets.
IGNORANCE COSTLY
Ignorance of these laws by those who received their yellow invitations to attend traffic court in the near future will be of no help.
The law covering the black curb is found in section 80.71.2 of the Los Angeles municipal code (1946 edition' which reads:
