              The Maroon Vol. XXIX Loyola University, New Orleans, La., Friday, April 5, 1963 No. 17 Parking Petitions Circulating Now; Seek Removal Of Two-Hour Signs Hopeful to end this scene... The Maroon hopes to end this scene of New Orleans Policewoman Tessier Dozier ticketing student cars parked in the 6300 block of Cromwell place. Maroon researchers have at present a petition signed by the residents of the 6300 block of Petitions signed by residents of the area are now being circulated by The Maroon requesting the removal of the two-hour signs on Cromwell and Loyola sts. Eugene Katsanis, this paper's parking researcher, said that at present one petition for the removal of signs in the 0300 block of Cromwell is completed.Katsanis also announced that other petitions are still in the process of being completed and should be finished by next week. "I am gratified at the cooperation of some of the residents in the area in understanding our problem and joining with us in a petition to get the signs removed," Katsanis said. He said that once the petitions are completed and the background work finished he will meet with city officials to discuss the situation and present the facts. The Maroon's researchers will also ask the alumni's Executive Council to sign a petition to put added weight behind action taken in the removal of the signs. The petitioners ask Mayor Victor H. Schiro, the City Council and the Traffic Engineer to remove the signs because they are not serving any useful purpose to residents and are only harassing students and faculty of Loyola. Katsanis said that Cromwell and Loyola streets are more important from a ticketing viewpoint than Palmer ave. He said that from information gathered on the number of tickets issued to students this point is borne out. The Maroon issued the following data on the number of tickets given out in the Loyola area: # Twenty to twenty-five tickets a day are now being issued. During the fall semester about 100 tickets a day were being issued.# More tickets are given out during the morning check than in the afternoon. The second morning check is about 11 :30 and the afternoon check is about 1:45. 0 More tickets are given to cars parked on Cromwell and Loyola streets and on Palmer ave. 0 Policewomen do not usually issue more than one ticket to a car in a day. Sometimes cars are ticketed more than once, but this is the exception rather than the rule. Katsanis said that tow wagons have not been working for the past two months. But, he said Cromwell requesting the city to remove the two-hour signs in that block. Other petitions from residents are now being prepared and should be ready by next week. that cars blocking driveways and sidewalks and by fireplugs are towed-away still. He warned that students who do not allow adequate room by driveways are actually hindering the already complex parking problem and making the obtaining of petitions from residents difficult to get. Chemistry Receives Fed. Grant A research grant of $210,- 000 has been awarded to the department of chemistry at the university by the Division of Radiological Health, U.S. Public Health Service, Washington, D.C. According to the Rev. Homer R. Jolley, S.J., department chairman, the funds will be used to establish a five-year program of research on the strontium-90 content of deciduous teeth in the Gulf Coast area. Strontium-90 is a radioactive component of fall-out from nuclear testing. It behaves in the body very much like calcium and enters bony structures along with it. Fr. Jolley said that the strontium-90 content of baby teeth is an indication of the fall-out level that has entered the life cycle during the pre-natal period. The program will be carried out in cooperation with the school of dentistry, local sections of the American Chemical Society from Texas to Puerto Rico, and with the university's dental alumni chapters. It will be under the joint direction of Fr. Jolley and Dr. Victor 'Halperin, professor of oral pathology.The research will be conducted in the chemistry laboratories of the Health Research Center.

Student Council's Petition Seeks Extra Auto Spaces A petition to increase the amount of parking area in Audubon park was endorsed lDy the Student Council at its Tuesday meeting.The petition requests that the New Orleans city council extend the area along West avenue on the Calhoun street side of Audubon park to an area equal to that on the clubhouse side of the park, and to change parking on the St. Charles avenue border of the park to angle parking for the width of the park. Matt Rice, parking committee chairman, said that should the petition be granted, parking space for an additional 75-100 cards could be accommodated. Parking fines for violations of university rules were questioned because amounts charged for second and third offenses, outweighed the violation. Gerry Hansen, chief justice of the judicial court here, defended the fines as necsesarily high to discourage violators. Duff Fee, A&S sophomore, asked where the profit from the vending machines went, in hope of using the funds for Student Council projects. The question was dropped because the proceeds go to the Student Center fund, a source of revenue not only for the new center, but also for the Council sponsored initiation ceremonies. Jack Dardis, Council president, announced that the Rev. R. L. Boggs, S. J., dean of students, postponed action on the Wolfettes until next year when the time would be more appropriate. It was decided that Phi Mu Alpha music fraternity's Nite at Loyola, a university function would be rescheduled. The function had been dropped in the past few years.

This is the first time that the sponsor of the Loyola unit was chosen for the honor.

Friedrich said that not once has she refused to attend a function of the crack drill team. The hazel-eyed coed will have a busy year ahead attending many functions of the sixth regiment in addition to those of Loyola's unit.
