...such offenses and has already tagged over a hundred cars; it calls attention to complains received from townspeople and emphasizes the fire hazard of parking on River Street or in back of Dunster House, near the area of frame dwellings. Unrealistically, the University insists that any student who can afford to run a car is also able to meet monthly rental charges. Even if this were universally true, such a student would be naturally reluctant to pay, so long as there were the possibility of otherwise disposing of his car when...
...police feel that it would help the situation a great deal if parking places could be provided for the cars of those students who can not afford to pay garage rent. At present the only parking space available for students of the University is Jarvis Street, which runs behind the Law School, connecting Massachusetts Avenue and Oxford Street. There are accommodations for not over 100 cars there and University officials will not allow overnight parking. The Business School has a parking place suitable for between two and three hundred cars, but it is restricted to the cars of the students...

In view of this, a partial solution to the problem is obvious, if a trifle Utopian: those who can afford more than the maximum set down on their applications should signify that capability. The other side of the question, namely, that presented by the rooms in the upper price brackets, a number of which never have been filled, and are not filled now, is not so evident of solution...
...upper brackets is not easy; "doubling up" is at best an extremely poor and temporary solution; it is, however, a problem for the University to solve. The demand for this solution is a fair one if the students are in turn asked to give as much as they can afford to the rents of rooms, to make in turn space for the poorer...
