OF THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE COLLEGE
Overnight Parking
Is Thing Of Past
Action was taken at a meeting of
the State College borough council
Monday night to make overnight
parking on borough streets a
thing of the past.
After a lengthy executive ses
sion, it was announced that the
borough police force will rigidly
enforce an ordinance prohibiting
“parking between the hours of 2
a.m. and 6 a.m.” on any borough
street.
The council also ordered that
Locust Lane and South Frazier
streets will be one-way streets
with parking permitted only on
one side. South Frazier will carry
one-way traffic in a southerly di
rection from W. Fairmount to W.
Beaver with parking only on the
west side.
Locust Lane, from E. Foster to
E. Hamilton, will be one-way with
north to south traffic and parking
on the east side only. Signs will
designate this regulation which
will be in effect seven days a week.
It was intimated that some sort
of warning would be used before
the $lO fine for overnight parking
was enforced, though second of
fenders will probably receive the
full punishment of either $lO fine
or five days imprisonment.
Russell E. Clark, College bursar
and borough council president,
emphasized the fact that the en
forcement of the ordinance was
made necessary largely because of
townspeople's disregard. “The ord
inance is purely a safety measure,’’
he pointed out. “Overnight-park
ing, especially on streets where
both sides are used and. on our nar
rower streets, represents a con
siderable hazard to fire protec
tion,” the council president said.

Main, between 6:30’ p. m. and

ters in the town and on campus
showing the sponsored candidates

Voting has already begun at
Student Union desk in Old Main
and tabulations showing how the
leaders in the competition are
faring will be published beginning
the latter part of this week. •
Complete rules for the contest

A. Smyser ’4l, Collegian editor,

der the supervision of a board

—©UY COLLEGIA*! NOW—
. District Draff Board
May Be In State College
College students will not be
forced to go home to register for
the draft on October 16 as the
result of a clause in President
Roosevelt’s proclamation which
permits anyone to register in the
district “in which he happens to
be on that date.”
The district draft board will
probably be located in either State
College or Bellefonte, it was
learned today. The exact location
has not yet been decided, the
County Commissioners said.
All students from the ages of
21 and 35 inclusive, will be re
-quired to register.
However, students called may—
by request only—defer military
service until the end of the aca
demic year. Then they must un
dergo training for a period of one
year.
■ This provision will undoubtedly
reduce to a handful the number
of students leaving the College
to take compulsory military ser
vice this year. It is expected that
not until next year will the stu
dent body—mainly the upper
classes—suffer any decrease in
enrollment.
The part’of the College to feel
the brunt of conscription most will
be the faculty and administration.
At present,--however, no plans
have been made to keep the staff
at its usual size.
