Cojlege To Add Parking Spaces An estimated 237 parking spaces will be added to campus capacity under a plan which in cludes one-way traffic and bump er-to-bumper parking on Pollock Road plus improvements to other parking areas. The plan, outlined by George W. Ebert, director of physical plant, will institute one-way traf fict (from west to east lon Pol lock road'between Burrowcs road „nd Shortlidge road, effective No vember 1. Parking will be permitted on the north side only of Pollcck road, except in the area where building is going on and next to fireplugs and crosswalks. Signs will be placed at these no-park ing points within two weeks, Mr. Ebert said. Enlargement of th e central parking area north of Osmond Laboratory will increase its ca pacity by 70 cars. This project, to be completed within a week, wil b e ■followed at once by work on other parking areas. Capacity of the area north of Patterson Hall, on Curtin road, will be raised from IS to 83 cars, while construction of an area northwest of Horticulture also on Curtin road, will add an estimat ed 20 parking stalls. Abandonment of the parking area west of Sparks was predict ed “within a matter of weeks” allow for the start of excavation work in that area for the planned men’s dormitories. This step will wipe out an estimated 85 parking spaces. The Ebert plan finally calls for the restriction of parking on Cur tin road to the north side, and on Shortlidge and Burrows roads to the west side.

While in the Lion ramp, Coach Higgins stated, Walthall was scouted last week and left the Pitt game in perfect condition.” Dr. Sam Morris, West Virginia team physician, said, there is only a*t outside chance the badly- JWenched shoulder suffered by the aerial wizard at Pitt would joend sufficiently by kickoff time. ® u t the tune of the “football "0*68” is quite familiar to the Satlg ® (EnUpgian I JSL "FOR A BETTER PENN STATE" VOLUME 48—NUMBER 17 STATE COLLEGE.

I tripped him while he was running down the field. Trip ped who, you’ll ask. Jimmy Walthall, of course. Remember what he did to you boys four years ago? Well, he almost single-handed beat the Hig, 28-27 in one of the season’s greatest upsets, and remember, we just beat the Mountaineers by one TD last year so I thought I’d better put him out of the way. He’s been pretty hot this season, too. He threw eight touchdown passes his first three games. I don’t know how hard 1 tripped him but I don't think he’ll be able to play too much tomorrow, but if he does, keep your eye on him. His jersey number is 12. I heard somebody wrote a letter to me the other day say ing I wasn’t as funny as I used to be. Remember I have a new fur and I haven’t got used to it yet. I have learned how to knit argyles. Any coeds who are interested ii\ knitting instruc tions should come down to the field prior to the game tomor row. I’ll be i n the “house,” —knock twice before you enter.
