Space to Be Increased By 50 Additional Spots
A plea for patience on the parking problem was issued yesterday by Elton Phillips, SC business manager. Phillips maintained that the problem isn’t quite as serious as it’s been pictured and offered a set of figures to prove his point.

lips said. "But over the pRSt few years, a slight gain has been shown in the number of spaces available to students on campus."
Plans are also being made to Increase present lot space by approximately 50 spots, he said. These should be ready for use shortly.
Phillips defined “campus” parking spaces as those in the area bounded by Jefferson, *Mc-Clintock, Exposition, and Figueroa. None outside the area were taken into consideration, he said.
A total of 2071 student spaces are to be found within those boundaries, Phillips said. This figure indicates one space for every 5.8 students. In 1948, when enrollment hit its all-time peak of 17,000, only one student in 10 found a spot to park.
While the gain might seem large, there are other factors to be taken into consideration, according to Phillips.
“It’s quite likely that more students are driving to the university today than several years ago,” he said. "After all, fam-

DebatersWin Two Awards At Tourney
Trojan debaters brought home two first place sweepstakes trophies last weekend.
At the Tournament of Peers at Occidental College, sweepstakes trophies are presented to the school which racks up the best over-all record and to the best school affiliated with Tau Kappa Alpha, the national speech honorary fraternity.
The SC Debate Squad copped both trophies.
Winners
In addition to these awards debaters Shirley Shubin and Paul Sonnenberg took second place in debates that the "non-agricultural industries should guarantee fheir workers an annual wage.”
Max Huber, competing in interpretive reading, took a second place trophy. Debaters Clara | Haberbock and Mike Miller won three out of four of their de-bates.
"We were very happy to see | that those entered did so well in this important local tourna- I ment,” said Murray Bring, de- ( bate squad captain.
Journey North
On Monday, two representatives of the SC squad will journey to the University of Nevada to defend the Trojan championship at the Pacific Forensics League Tournament.
Bob ’Croutch and Bring will compete in debate, discussion, extemporaneous speaking, oratory, and after dinner speaking at the three-day contest.
The sponsoring Pacific Forensics League is the oldest speech association on the West Coast. SC is one of its charter members. Last year, Ron Weintraub and Bring won the first place award in debate and Brine took the trophy in extemporaneous speaking.

¡lies are better off economically now and it stands to reason that a bigger percentage is driving.
"Unfortunately, we have no rcaj way to calculate the exact number. But if only half tl>? total student body drove, they'd have one chance in three of finding a spaco on campus."
The problem now is really changed from 1953 when parking spaces were easiest to find. Then there was one spot for evefy 5.2 students. That's a difference of only .6 and the enrollment is up nearly 2000, he pointed out.
While student spaces have fluctuated in recent years, faculty spots have steadily increased in number. In 1948, 472 spaces were reserved for the faculty and staff. Today 784 spaces are open to them.
But the ratio has been kept on an equal plane. Student parking lots have Ix-en Increased from 372 to 994 in the same period. Street parking, on the other hand, has been reduced from 1385 to 1077, a difference of 208 spots.
"These figures don’t include room available off campus," Phillips said. "I'd estimate that withjn a quarter of a mile of the university there are at least 4000 spaces.
"At Menlo and Exposition is a state owned lot with 318 spots,” he said. “We have no jurisdiction over it, but it's kept oprm and free for some time.”
