In order to eliminate as much confu
sion in the halls and on the stairway
as possible, Earle Holliday, newly-ap
pointed traffic chief, has stationed 18
new officers throughout the building
and on the grounds.

is designed to keep students walking

by expediate traffic.

In commenting on bis set-np Holli
day remarked, "So far I am very well
pleased with the situation. However.
I do have one complaint concerning the
observance of the stairway ruling. It
seems that people walk on whatever
stairway is convenient, regardless of
whether they are walking on the wrong
set of stairs. It's a funny thing to
me that one or two stndent.s will go
from the third floor to the first on an
•'up" stairway and not pay any more
attention to the fact that everybody
is going np than the man in the
moon. I wish that students would walk-
on the stairs they are reciuested to
use.'’
Holliday is taking the place of Her
