Dorm Traffic Jam
Needs a Solution
When auto traffic is forced to take to the
'sidewalk to unsnarl Shortlidge road’s 1 a.m.
jam, a change in system should be in order.
Last Friday upwards of 15 cars were forced
io drive down the sidewalk on fhe west side
of Shortlidge road to clear what one driver
described as "a snarled up mess."
The danger involved in such goings on should
be apparent. By this time it should be apparent
also that nothing short of a dozen or more'
policemen with books of parking tickets will
keep students from stopping on Shortlidge road
when they take their dates home. It is doubtful
if even this impractical method could meet
with success.
Most students, we think, are well pleased
with the resumption of two-way' traffic on both
Pollock and Shortlidge roads, for when' traffic-;
is normal, the present system is certainly more
convenient thfen that in/effect last year.
But during the mad 1 a.m. dash on the two
weekend date nights, the jam surpasses any 12
noon, on Wall street.
. Since the greater flow of traffic is io the
campus from the downtown fraternity sec
. lions, the traffic snarl could be eliminated, we
feel, by closing Shortlidge road io southbound
traffic between 12 midnight and 2 a.m.
There are arguments against this system, of
course, but at the very least it deserves a fair,
trial.

Military Ball Date
Not in Good Taste
The announcement that the College plans to
celebrate the tenth anniversary of Pearl Har
bor with the Military Ball, appropriately built
around that theme, makes many of ,us wonder
just how far the code of human decency can
stretch. . , j
Can it be that we have forgotien the con
sequences of Pearl Harbor so soon? The butch
ering, the starvation, the grief of four , years
of foial war? With the world as it is today,
we wonder how anyone could possibly enjoy
himself at a dance with such a theme as this.
Picture the decorations—a flaming ship could
be erected in the middle of Recreation Hall.
Screaming planes might swoop over the dancers,
delivering their bombs during intermission. For
numerous men .in uniform could
lie in comers, bleeding and calling for help. Or
will the committee soft-pedal the decorations
and make them less -appropriate? ,
- If the committee acts immediately, it might
obtain captured Japanese films showing the
bombing of Pearl Harbor, the surrender at Cor
regidor, and Bataan death march. If shown
before the • dance, these should put everyone in
the proper spirit of gaiety.
After the College has celebrated Pearl Har-.
bor in this way, the next'step should be to -
plan an affair for Memorial Day. Perhaps a
delegation could be sent to • Arlington Cem
etery to conduct a jam session following rites
for the Unknown Soldier. That would be just
as appropriate as present plans.
We can’t put Dec. 7, 1941 in the back of our
minds and pretend it never existed. On the
contrary, it should be observed. But with rev
erence, not merrymaking,
Fruit Shower an
Act of Stupidity
Although on the surface it may have seemed
like a lot of' harmless, fun, the showering of
hatwomen and hatmen with rotten tomatoes
and apples at the game Saturday was both dis
gusting and dangerous. '
Cat-calling and fruit throwing is to be con
demned at any time, but among college stu
dents, even freshmen, it is downright stupid.
Freshmen should have considered the dan-,
ger in' their juvenile l action. An apple In the
face is not only unpleasant, but dangerous,
especially-if the victim'wears glasses. Further
more, the tomatoes which landed on the hat
men and women's clothes made the articles, ■
unwearable, some permanently. If the fresh
man class had to pay, the cleaning bill, it
would more fully realize the import of its
deeds.
It seems only natural, that the frosh should
vent their “spirit” on the hatpeople. But look
ing at the situation objectively, hatmen and
women have probably enforced- customs with a
greater degree of fair play than any other seg T
ment of the student population.
College dieticians ..were partly to blame for
serving apples in the dormitories on Saturday
afternoon. But freshmen would have found
ammunition elsewhere, as the tomatoes amply
proved.
In short, freshman conduct, makes us won
der if the class will be ready to assume full
responsibilities and privileges of college stu
dents at the end of the customs period.

Have you ever noticed how many different types of people you
find, in a crowd? Everyone seems to have a problem of his own.
'' For instance, in, a movie house, you have people who turn
around and try to-stare you-down when you unwrap your candy
bar. What have they got-against candy bars, or you? The'noise
is trivial, and perhaps they have an excuse if the show’s on, but
most of this type gives you the
• old evil eye if you’re the- only
two people in the place and the
slipw won’t start for -fifteen min
utes at least. 1
' Then there’s the Laugher, who
is so well known we won’t' even
bother to discuss him, or his
friend, the Giggler,

The Snide Remarker deserves
mention . in passing. He's' the
fellow who will see’you do
something that he doesn't ap
preciate, or doesn't agree with,
and then turns to the person
next to'him, and says so, in a
roundabout way.
Or the Noisemaker. He’s the
guy in a theater who, makes like
a plumber’s plunger when some
one is kissing someone else. As
they break up, he daintly inserts
a finger in his mouth and comes
out with the familiar, “Plop.”
Second guessing, is .a popular
pastime at shows or moving pic
tures. This joker sits down' and
proceeds to tell his neighbor just

what will happen when the plot
begins to unfold. If he’s read the
book, he’s worse.
Or the “I’m in the know”
type. He sees a well-known per
son walk past, or flash on the
screen. Then he tells you- some
thing like, “He beats his wife/’
or “she wears black underwear.”
Y’know, inside stuff.
Maybe the Shaker? He wants
something, and tries to pretend
he . doesn't.. He wreaks havoc
in his trip across the room.
Shakes you're hand heartily
and disappears just as fast as
he appeared when someone else,
he needs comes in.
Of course the best place to go
to see a sample of this collection
is a movie in State College. Here
there is no room for people who
just want to see a show. You
have to be a sexual pervert, a
noise maker,, a giggler, a, laugher
and a, snide remarker'.to hold
your own once the-show starts.
