TUESDAY ISSUE Next issue Friday UNC’s Gonna Tell Mama if Junior Won't Settle Tickets The University Adminis trative Board of Student Af fairs has decided to clamp down on students who have repeatedly refused to pay parking'tickets despite warn ings that warrants will be issued for their arrest. Raymond L. Jefferies Jr, Assistant to the Dean of Student Affairs, announced last week that the board is considering the drafting of a “firm” Letter to parents of some 60 students who have received five or more parking tickets and refused to pay their fines. The letter probably will recommend that the parents prohibit the students from having cars in their posses sion while attending the University unless the fines are paid promptly, he said. Several of the students have more than 10 unpaid parking tickets, a few from 20 to 30 tickets. Some of the tickets were given by officers in 1954, Mr. Jef feries said. The Student Traffic Com mittee is considering the possibility of requiring the violators to take their auto mobiles home, he said. How ever, he added, no definite action has been taken in the matter. Mrs. Barbara Howdy, town traffic clerk, has been issuing warrants for the ar rest of students who hold three or more unpaid park ing tickets. Mr. Jefferies said he be lieves warrants will soon be issued for the arrest of the 60 students named in the list submitted to him by Mrs. Howdy two weeks ago. Each of the students will be called in for a conference with him or other adminis trative officials, he said. Party Planned for Foreign Students A Valentine party for a group of foreign students will be held at 8 p.m. Sunday at the home of Mrs. Alfred Linde, 220 Glandon Drive.
