PAGE FOURTEEN Poll Cites Students' Against Town's Deficiencies What do the students think of the town of State College? In a poll taken for the Centre Daily Times sometime ago, stu dents indicated that the lack of entertainment, especially on week ends, and the "attitude of the merchants" were their chief complaints against the community. The article continued: "Several of the students complimented the town on the appearance of its homes and the hustle of the civic minded groups. "Most of those who registered complaints were admittedly 'anti small town' and disliked the dis tance to large cities. Swedish Student "Sonya Tornvall, a graduate 3tu dent in psychology from Stockholm, Sweden, remarked, 'I would like to live in a larger town, but I like State College and wouldn't mind living here if I had a car to get to the larger cities.' "Typical of the students who stated that they wouldn't care to live in State College perma nently was James M. Shriver, Jr., a junior in agronomy from West minister, Md.,who stated, 'The town has a airly friendly atti tude but there's nothing but the College. There's nothing at all to do on weekends, especially Sundays.' Lack of Entertainment "Sherman D. Kaplan, a senior from New Castle majoring in political science, reiterated the lack of entertaintnent and said. 'The merchants take advantage of the students because they have a virtual monopoly. It's especially unfair to the veterans with their limited spending power.' "Douglas T. Keltz, a junior from Philadelphia in electrical engineering, explained, 'lt's a normal small town except for parking meters. Most towns its size I know don't have them. I'd like it better if they had Sunday movies.' "Other complaints were regis tered from the students, ranging from 'lt rains too much' to 'The townspeople cash it. on our sports events and concerts but give us nothing in return.'"

Parking meters are to be found in twice as many municipalities in Pennsylvania as in any other state, according to a survey con ducted by Charles F. Lee Decker. assistant executive secretary of the Institute of Local Govern ment at the College. At the close of 1946, 149 com munities in the state used me ters. Sixty-two introduced them that year. There were 35,934 me ters in use, an increase of 55 per cent over 1943 when 23,127 me ters were in operation. Figures for the country also reveal a sharp upward trend in parking meter installations in 1946. At the close of the year, 4200 cities, as compared to 924 a year earlier, were operating meters. Meters are found in all states but Nevada. 4-H Club Social A social meeting of the 4-H club will be held in Hort 100. 7:30 p.m. Monday.
