FRIDAY ISSUE Next Issue Tuesday Vol. 34, No. 11 Students Are Made to Pay ( For Parking The continuing crackdown on persons who collect vio lation tickets and forget to pay their $1 fines landed j five University students in Recorder’s Court Monday. All five settled their tickets and had to pay court costs on top of that. One student was in the three-ticket category, which is the least number a per son may collect before he is! liable for a warrant. Two of the other students had collected six tickets each, and the remaining two had seven tickets each. It was learned last week that the University admin istration was considering drafting a letter to parents of students who have col lected five or more unpaid parking tickets. To that end, Mrs. Barbara Howdy, town traffic clerk, has prepared a list of such students for tfu^University. The proposed letter may recommend to the parents that they prohibit their chil dren from keeping automo biles while they are at the University unless parking violation fines are promptly paid. It also reported that the Student Traffic Committee was considering recommend ing that ticket-collectors be required to take their cars home. v The students who paid $1 per ticket fines and court costs Monday were Carl H. Williams, senior from Char lotte, three tickets; James Thomas Duvall, junior from Quonset Point, R. 1., seven; William T. Morris Jr., senior from Asheville, six; Don ' Thompson, senior from Jack son Heights, N. Y., six, and Jack I). Game, sophomore from Bryson City, seven.

Petitions Are Circulating on Annexation Opposition to municipal an nexation of several residential areas west and south of Chapel Hill appeared this week in the form of petitions calling for a referendum on the annexation issue.

The aldermen have the power to annex the areas, unless peti tions are presented containing names of 15 per cent of the reg istered voters in any of the ureas. That would automatically call an election for that area.

Powes in Durham, Mrs. Potfe (the former Miss Sybil Goerch) told us about a disappointment the family suffered on a visit to Chapel , Hill. But the tale needs a lit- , tie historical background. , Mr. Powe was a student in the University, first aea-! demic, then law. Miss Sibyl ( Goerch was a journalism stu dent. Well, boy met girl, and so on—marriage and children. Louise was born six years ago, Katherine three years ago, Josephine two years ago. Mr. Powe went to the legislature. Now he is president of the Dur ham chapter of the Uni versity Alumnf Association. No public life for Mrs. Powe.! yet. She has plenty to do at home .... This is all the. historical background that is pertinent to the pre sent narrative. One hot day last August •Mrs. Powe said to Mr. Powe, apropos, as she recalls it, of nothing in particular: "I w ant to go somewhere where Louise can jump over a stream. 1 used to jump lover streams and it was a lot of fun. Louise has never jumped over one.” Stream-jumping hgd been one of Mr. Powe’s childhood pastimes, too, but till this moment it had never occur red to him that his children had been deprived of it. He [agreed readily that the error! sho u1 d be corrected as, promptly as possible. “Remember that little branch in Battle Park, where we used to go walking ?”i asked Mrs. Powe. Mr. Powe did indeed. They both treas j ured tender memories of how the branch rippled and bubbled, and gurgled gent ly over rocks, and flowed hinder rustic bridges, and mow and then reflected sun beams that came peeping through the foliage.
