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. Medical Talks Set By Id Local Groups Continuing last year’s program of talks on preventive medicine five lectures have been scheduled for this year, sponsored by 16 Col lege and town groups in conjunc tion with State Department of Health committee headed by Mrs. Edna M.

Doyle of the State Department of Health will speak on veneral and “With These Weapons,” a movie, will be shown.

' As groups gathered around pos ters in the town and on campus showing the sponsored candidates for Freshman Queen, interest in the 1940 Collegian Queen contest took on. a new intensity yesterday. 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 as announced yesterday by Adam A. Smyser ’4l, Collegian editor, follow: 1— Any Penn State coed is eligible. (Freshman candidates are not restricted to the 12 sponsored by senior men.) 2 Each subscriber will be allow-- ed one vote and may vote for any coed he' or she chooses. 3—The votes will be tabulated un der the supervision of a board of judges. Three queens will be chosen on this basis: A Freshman Queen, the freshman woman receiving the highest number of votes; a Sorority Queen, the sorority woman re ceiving the highest, number of votes; and a Dormitory Queen, the non-sorority upperclass woman receiving the highest number of votes. 4—Subscribers voting will do so at the Student Union Office in Old Main. As identification they must present a Collegian dance ticket. 5 Voting will close at 7 p. m. September 30, 1940. 6 Final selection of a Collegian Queen will be made from the three queens selected in the voting. This selection will be made by a board of judges to be announced before Septem- ber 30. 7—Results of the judging will be kept secret until the night of the Collegian Dance, Friday, October 11, 1940. The Collegian Quen will reign at the dance with the other , two queens as her attendants, —©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.
