Pulitzer Prize-winn ing reporter, disguised as n Negro, begins tomor row in the Daily Collegian, space permitting. A majority of the Senior Board, realizing that the articles do not depict typical, but extreme cases of discrimination in the South, nevertheless hopes the stories will be beneficial by pointing out that vestiges of an out-moded system still persist. . . , . Admittedly, the atrocities have been picked for their blood-curdling horror. Admittedly, they have been portrayed in the most vivid manner possible. Admittedly, the South has made tremen dous progress in the field of human relations. However, until the last traces of intolerance have been stamped out, the freedom of each of us is in jeopardy. Nor can we in the North sit back smugly, pointing hypocritical fingers at the South until our own back-yard is cleansed.

Whether this condition is due to ignorance of the regulations or constitutes a disregard for student-enforced discipline remains to be demonstrated. I Here are the plain facts of the parking situation. There are only 1100 parking spaces on campus, including the West Parking Area. Already 2371 permit tags have been issued, and there are 2000 additional cars in the immediate College area. That student drivers will co operate and will discipline them selves was evidenced last semes ter when traffic infractions drop ped from about 86 in one week to about 21 the following week. The authority granted Tribunal tc assess fines of $l, $2, $5, or $lO for breaches of the regulations probably hurt some student pock etbooks, but the effectiveness of the measure was clearly demon strated by the swift reduction in traffic offenses. Recently some student drivers have begun using Shortlidge road between Pollock road and College avenue at an excessive rate of DO FRIENDS DISAPPEAR When it's time to sup?

This practice is not only illegal out is dangerous and discourteous to the students who reside in that area. Students apprehended in this offense will be subject to the usual penalties. To bring the current regula tions to the attention of the new students and to refresh the mem ories of the “old hands” on cam pus, Tribunal has had a summary of the regulations published in Wednesday’s Collegian. It is the opinion of the members of Tribunal that the recent period of grace has been sufficient to permit driver to acquaint them selves with the regulations; here after all offenders will be ordered to appear before Tribunal to stand trial. —Harold E. Brown. ‘ Tribunal Chairman TO THE EDITOR: With the beginning of a new college year, the State College Council on Racial Equality (CORE) is continuing the work of last year. During the summer a committee has been carrying on negotiations for the establishment of a non-discriminatory barber shop. This was the action agreed on by CORE at its last meeting in May, should the barbers again turn down requests for service to all when they were confronted with the results of the CORE ticket sale. In addition to working on the barber shop situa tion, CORE hopes this year to be able to carry out a broader, more long range program to combat racial discrimination. To achieve real democracy here in State Col lege, CORE needs the enthusiastic support of all interested and sympathetic groups and individuals Will you please send the name, address, and telephone number of your representative to the Corresponding Secretary as soon as possible, in order that proper notification of CORE* meetings may be given him? Regular meetings are held on the first Monday of the month: special meetings on call. TO THE EDITOR: After living in the Nittany Dormitory area for two semesters and enduring the meals for that period, I feel that I have a right to add' my complaints to a growing list. First is the quality, quantity, and preparation of food apportioned us. We entertained hopes that after a new dietician was added to the dining hall staff conditions would improve, but they have de teriorated. On the whole, food does not compare with that served in most Army messes. Add the exorbitant price demanded and the basis for our gripes is found. Two hundred dollars a semester is an outrageous price, even if the food were the equal of that found in any short order restaurant. Conditions are such that an immediate investigation should take place. Last year Miss Fall was asked to open her re cords for inspection, and it is my understanding that this request was refused. Therefore I suggest that an investigation begin with the inspection of the records of Miss Fall and Mr. Loiruan, the Din ing Commons Director. Let us hope that a school with the scholastic re cord that Penn State maintains can do something to maintain the physical health 0 f its students.
