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.
Walthall's Injury Questionable;
Gridders Prepare for Aerials
Walthall or no Walthall, that is the question bothering Coach
Bob Higgins and his staff as they run the Penn State football team
through its final drills in preparation for tomorrow’s battle with
West Virginia.
“It is extremely doubtful that Walthall, second leading passer in
the nation, will see action Saturday,” bemoaned West Virginia grid
authorities. 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.

Lines from the Lion
Dear Gang,
I did it and I’m glad I did it!
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.
