AN EDITORIAL Last year several students from this campus made a vain attempt to obtain a semi-automatic traffic light for the university entrance. A petition was drawn up and signed by both students and faculty who were in favor of the light. Copies of this petition were sent to Gover nor Shafer, Senator Murray, Depart ment of Highways, Chamber of Com merce, and the Superintendents of Sugarloaf Township. We received letters of acknowledgement of the petition from the said people. How ever it was reported that we do not need a light at the entrance, though a light could be instal led at the Valmont and Airport intersection. Due to recent accidents invol ving Penn State students, several sophomores are again attempting to obtain support for the light from other students. Support is growing rapidly. This effort from the stu dent body is very much appreciated, for we know that any success that is gained on this issue will benefit all.

Dino Richard Maynard Mr. Topf We do not present this traffic light as a panacea for accidents. However, the light will minimize the possibility of having accidents, Other students who have attended Highacres in previous years ex perienced many hazards while cros sing the intersection. Inclement weather such as rain, sleet, snow, and fog reduce the drivers visabil ity. Also, a driver's minor miscal culation could be fatal because of the small crest in the highway. Thirdly, the lack of enforcement on the speed laws of Route 93 en courages a driver to exceed the limit. Finally, a recent survey by the Department of Highways report ed that the area in question has more than enough traffic to warrant the installation of a light. The Collegian Staff together with the student body urges the proper officials to act upon our re quest for a safety device. This paper will keep the students in formed about any future progress on this issue.
