The new signs are located on he east side of Pickens between )endleton and Devine Streets. Parking has been banned be ween the hours of 7:30 to 9:30 n the morning and from 4:30 to 1:30 in the afternoon. Along the three blocks on )ickens that have restricted park ng contain 46 parking spaces. Enforcement of restricted park ng on those blocks began as soon Ls the signs were placed in posi ion according to Capt. B. F. )ruitt of the traffic division of the >olice department. No parking during the four ours was decided at a meeting >f the Columbia City Council on larch 17 when they voted to limit >arking due to the narrowness of )ickens between Pendleton and )evine and the heavy traffic dur ng the morning and afternoon ush hours. Dr. Daniel WV. Hlollis, university historian, said the 30-foot wide trip of area Pickens is on, was arvedl out of p)roperty that was eriginally on the university in 910. In 1915 the university tranted1 a 30-foot wide strip be ween Green and Devine Streets.

Freeze Kills New Growth On Flowers The recent freeze that1 hit Co lumbia killed most of the new growth to flowers says Dr. James T. Penney, professor of Biology, who is faculty chairman of uni versity grounds. Dr. Penney said the shrubbery on campus didn't suffer as bad as reports that came in from other parts of the state. lie said that new shoots on university bushes were killed. lie thinks they wil! put out new shoots. None of the grass suffered from the freeze, Dr. Penney said, since 'most of the grass that is growing on campus is winter grass, lie said the summer grass won't begin to come out until around .May 1. The only dlamage suffered by campilus trees was insignificant. Dogwood blossoms have not shown any sign of dying, said Dr. P'en ney. Azalea hushes camie through the freeze with negligible damage suffered. Dr. Penney said none of the bark on the bushes split. lie said split bark on azalea bushes after a freeze usually ind(i cate that they were sev'erely damaged.
