TAKE, FOR EXAMPLE, the parking situa tion. We became curious the other day when one of our friends was given a $5.50 ticket by a member of the local gendarmerie for parking against traffic. Thinking that the $2 fine plus $3.50 in costs was a rather large hunk of cash to pay for a parking violation, we did a little investigation. We learned that parking against traffic is a state offense and that the state receives the fine money. The costs, which are prescribed by state law and must be levied by the borough, go into general borough funds. Neither the police officer nor a magistrate receives any of the money. A major reason for the borough drive to en force traffic regulations is the difficult parking problem, aggravated by the number of student-' owned cars parked on borough streets. The over-crowded situation is particularly acute in the fraternity area, where there is a .high popu lation density. Off-street parking facilities are extremely low,. and efforts of the borough to persuade owners of vacant lots to allow parking on their lots largely has proved unsuccessful. HOWEVER, steps to alleviate the parking situation are being taken by the borough, which has established a parking authority for this purpose. Unfortunately, no real solution to the problem, which has been widely studied by local authorities, is to be expected for at least a' year. Best solution, of course, is off-street parking supported by the borough on a non-profit basis. Inasmuch as students are affected, the College should take interest in the authority's work and should cooperate with it. Thanks For AIM Last Saturday the Association of Independent Men sponsored the first of what promises to be a popular series of post-game dances. The Rec reation Hall floor held a crowd the proportions of which are usually seen only at "big dances." AT THIS first dance students heard an out standing campus orchestra, Ray Evert's Artists in Melody, that too sponsored by AIM. Last Spring AIM, realizing the need for Sat urday night entertainment, backed several par tially successful dances. Enthusiasm, however, was not great and attendance was low. Now, the post-game dance apparently has hit its stride. For this, AIM deserves many thanks. AIM has provided an excellent solution for that old State College problem of what to do on Saturday night. Payment of Fees Postponed Registrat,:iiii. for P.lll Semester 19504951 will be completed by payment of fees on October 12 and 13, instead of October 5 and 6.

Landon Business Mgr. —John Ashbrook NOTICE Cr" 'TAT= LOLL • Laughing Coeds With hatmen and freshman men engaged in a , total war, which involves such small details as fruit-throwing / at the Georgetown game, and the battering down of Thompson Hall before the dormitory has even been completed, the College seems to have forgotten that there are over 250 freshman women on campus who have yet to commit a major violation of freshman customs. NO ONE supposes the freshman women like wearing green ribbons, struggling with name cards, and being dateless. But neither has the head of women's customs board been hung in effigy as a means "of retaliation. While' a relatively small group of some hat men with homicidal tendencie - s and some fresh man men who just can't -take it heap wood on the fire to make the uprising hotter than it is, the coeds, because of the conduct of the fresh man women, are just sitting back. And laughing. —Rosemary Delahanty Safety Valve . . Stickler For Figures TO THE EDITOR: I see that the total enroll ment now is 11,059, and of those 7,284 are men, and 2129 women.
