Vfor parking SPJ
As tnnny of you know by now one side of Hunt Street
hns been marked ns forbidden area as far as parking
goes. And these days it does not go very far
By
Kay Bedingfield
Most people complain about the parking situation on
this campus 1 am no different I do my share of com-
plaining especially when I get here at five minutes til
nine and can not find a parking place.
It is rather easy to see why the north side of Hunt
Street is marked "No Parking." The street is rather
narrow and it had become somewhat of a traffic hazard.
It was impossible to see if cars were coming and only
one car at a time could go through.
It is better now. A driver can see where he isgoing and
it is possible for more than one car to go through.
We tend to forget that there are plenty of parking
spaces available on the campus. These parking areas
are maybe not the most convenient in the world but
they are there to be used.
' The areas being referred to are: the parking lot by
Aldersgate UMC the parking lot by the McM Hand
Hall and the parking lot on the north side of Radford

"We will not lower the prices

added at Jay-Rollins.

Catholics Open Student Center
For Three Abilene Colleges
A Cntholic Student Center
has been opened in Abilene to
serve students attending the
three privntely operated col-
leges located here.
The center is being funded ini-
tially by a $5000 grant from the
Catholic Church Extension Soc-
iety of Chicago and is under the
direction of campus minister
Susan Uirsky
Miss Uirsky came to Abilene
to open the center in January
following her graduation from
Texas Christian University
where she earned a Bachelor of
Fine Arts degree in modern
dance. She is a native of Ver-
mont. The Catholic Student Center
called "House of Peace" is lo-
cated on the grounds of Sacred
Hoart Catholic Church in
Abilene. It will serve students
from Abilene Christian Univer-
sity Hardin-Simmons Univer-
sity and McMurry College.
An open house at the student
center is planned for Sunday
April 2 to introduce the center
and its director to the Catholic
community in Abilene. A dinner
will be served Cor students that
evening by the Altar Society of
Holy Family Catholic Church in
Abilene.
Since beginning work on the
center in late January Miss
Uirsky has coordinated efforts
with pastors of the four Catholic
churches in Abilene and has
begun to implement programs
for the college students at the
center. Part of her "start up" ef-
forts have centered arund trying
to locate the Catholic students
at the three church-run colleges
to inform them of the new
spiritual center for Catholic
students.
Since the opening a weekly
mass has been celebrated at the
center each Wednesday night by
local priests who visit the
center on a rotating basis. Sun-
day nights have been set aside
for fellowship meetings. The
center is open six days a week for
drop-in visits counseling and
Hible studies according to Miss
Birsky.
Retreats by students are also
planned as part of the center's
program with one already held
and another planned in the near
future. In March Miss Birsky
and nine students attended the
Texas Catholic Student Confer-
ence held in Houston Tex.

dent center there Shalom
