Traffic Regulations Set
When did you last get a traffic ticket, maybe when
you overparked downtown or parked on the wrong
side of the street? To help ease the parking situation
here at Lamar, we also have traffic regulations and
tickets. You can help yourself and the college also if
you will obey 'the signs and regulations set up here
at Lamar
Regulations are generally indicated by markings
streets, curbs ana by signs.
All cars driven on campus by students, xaculty and
employees must be registered. A decal bearinga re-
gistration number will be issued when the car is re-
gistered. This decal should be placed on the inside
of the rear window in the lower corner opposite the
driver's side of the car.
?s> on
There is no fee for registering a car, and everyone
should register each car that is to be driven On cam-
pus. Unless there is a change of ownership, each
car should be registered only once during the school
year.
The speed limit while driving on campus is 20 miles
per hour. There are markings on streets, curbs and
signs indicating some of the parking regulations.
Parking must be in accordance with these markings.
It is illegal to park at any time in- service drive-
ways, loading zones or where the curb is painted yel-
low. At all times pedestrians shall have the right of
way. There will be no overnight parking allowed on
streets around the dormitories. Rain or inclement
weather will not excuse a traffic or parking violation.
These rules and regulations are part of the rules
and regulations of the college and as such are to be
observed by all members of the staff, faculty and
student body.

Award Given
Music Major
Joe Galiano, freshman
music major, has been
awarded a $100 working
scholarship by the Beau-
mont Opera Workshop.
A graduate of South Park
High, Joe was active in the
Greenie Choir and winner
of many honors in inter-
scholastic music competi-
tions . He sang the part of
the suave Baron Douphol in
the Opera Workshop pro-
duction of "La Traviata"
last February.
He is a candidate for bar-
itone roles in both "Gian-
ni Schicchi" and "Caval-
leria Rusticana," which
will be given this season
as a double-feature pro-
gram.
In addition to his music,
Joe is talented artistically
and plans to study some art
here at Lamar. He did
much of the set and publi-
city art for "LaTraviata"
and has already been busy
this summer helping build
scale models of die sets
for this season's operas,
which will be presented
jointly by the college mu-
sic department and the
Beaumont Opera Work-
shop.
Besides his singing, Joe
will put his art to work for
the opera production again
this year. He will serve as
student in charge of set
construction and art,
working under the gui-
dance of the art depart-
ment and Alan Hitchcock
of the speech department,
who will be technical con-
sultant.
Freshmen Only
ay Leon Obenhaus
Orientation testing, as-
semblies and first-week
social activities have left
Lamar "Fish" befuddled,
humble and more than
green around the gills.
Buck up, Fish! There's
more to come. But now it's
time to show your pride --
in being enrolled in col-
lege, in being at Lamar--
and in being a Fish.
Whether saltwater, fresh
water, or simply cold, all
Fish should show their re-
spect for their honorable
upperclassmen by always
wearing beanies.
The Northwestern Louis-
iana State-Lamar football
game here Saturday is a
must for new-comers. And
Fish, be sure to back the
Cards to their second vic-
tory.
To protect any rights that
you Fish may acquire, you
are allowed to select of-
ficers and representatives
to the Student Council. The
election comes up in a
couple of weeks, so be
thinking of suitable lead-
ers.
Fish may become real
assets at Lamar if they
follow the preceding ad-
vice, read the Cardinal
Call and carry on the tra-
ditions of Glor-i-ous
Lamar.
