UNIVERSITY WILL NOT FURNISH LOT FOR PARKING USE

Students owning automobiles will have to provide for the parking of their cars themselves as in the past because the University will not consider the possibility of buying land to be used as a parking lot, it was revealed in official circles last night. It had been suggested that the Business School parking space and land adjoining that school be opened to the College at a one dollar per month rate.

William B. Donham, dean of the Business School, has definitely stated that he is opposed to the exploitation of the Business School parking facilities for use by members of the University as a whole. He is quoted as stating that he does not care to have numerous automobiles driving in and about the Business School at all hours of the day and night. This blocks the best opportunity the men in the College would have in possibly acquiring parking facilities maintained by University Hall.

It is understood that the officials do not desire to take more business from the merchants in the Square. A large part of the restaurant business was taken when the House dining hall system went into effect. By creating University parking facilities such as are maintained by many other institutions, it is felt that the public garages would suffer a tremendous loss of business and thus cause the University a great deal of unnecessary trouble. As the problem is recognized as one for the individual car owner, the officials of the University will back the Cambridge police in enforcing the city parking laws, thus forcing the owners to patronize a public garage or parking lot. Believing that a man who owns a car should be able to pay for garage facilities, the University considers the problem a closed issue.
