Satttt @ €Oll ' ' X FOR A BETTER PENN STATE VOL. 52, No. 23 Cabinet' Postpones NSA Bill of Rights All-College Cabinet .Thursday' night postponed indefinitely a recommendation that cabinet “implement” the proposed National Student Association bill ol rights on the Penn State campus. The proposal was included in the recommendations to cabinet regarding NSA from All-College Vice-president Harry Cover. Approval to the other points of the recommendatidns as amended was given after-lengthy parliamentary wrangling and de bate. , >By postponing indefinitely the “implementation’’ section of _ the recommendations, cabinet elimi nated consideration, of it. For further action it must b’e re-intro duced. The parliamentary move was in stituted by Clair George, after Marvin Krasnansky explained that cabinet would be implement ing a .bill which itself had not been accepted by cabinet. George and Krasnansky both suggested that cabinet first study the proposed bill of rights to see if they i are applicable to, Penn State. - ' The text of the disputed NSA bill of rights was published this week in the Daily Collegian., The first point in. the recom mendations, asked cabinet to send student government personnel to all regional and national USNSA meetings that are open to delegate attendance. The section of the recommenda tion which designated that the delegates to the Fourth National Congress should be held respon sible to attend.. All regional meet ings, was amended to read that cabinet retains the responsibility for appointing delegates to the re gional NSA meetings. Cover, in support of his original recommendation, said that the na tional delegates, NSA Chairman William Klisonin , and himself, had seen the National Congress at work and were advised of NSA national policy and activities. He said experienced delegates were necessary if cabinet were to re ceive competent reports of the meetings. It was also pointed out to cab inet, however, that it might wish to delegate a junior to attend the regional meetings, to gain exper ience. The third point of the recom mendations as presented by Cover urges cabinet “to instruct the NS A chairman on campus to work with' the newly organized student government representa tive of USNSA to a greater extent and to de-emphasize the stress, so, clearly shown on the National Congress on International Affairs and other such areas of endeavor.” Cabinet acceptance was’ given point three as recommended.

In fact, the authors, Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett, have so far succeeded in making the family a believable one that the completely outlandish end ing and a far-fetched farce scene seem,even more out of place than they would ordinarily be. Mrs. Crochet, who is chiefly concerned with “keeping the family together,” and who needs a. bigger and more comfortable house, an,d “Commodore” Cro- One-Way Traffic Smooth During Early Experiment Do Not Enter...

PRICE FIVE CENTS By JIM GROMILLER Traffic flowed smoothly on Shortlidge road during the early hours last night, but the ex perimental one-way traffic plan was not expected to have had its real test until about 1 a.in. The ability of the plan to alevi ate the gnarled traffic on Short lidge road when the women re turn to the dormitories at la.m. could not be determined before then. The experimeptal system which permits traffic to move north only on Shortlidge road between 6. p.m. and 2 a.m. will be in effect again tonight. Next week the de partment of physical plant will decide if the new system should be continued. According to pres ent plans, however, normal two way traffic will be resumed at 2 a.m. tomorrow and remain in effect until further notice. Comment Favorable Comment on the experimental system for the most part was favorable, although many stu dents, when interviewed early last night, said they would rather wait to see if it eliminated the tieup at 1 a.m. before passing judgment. One student said the plan had a definite advantage of permitting parking along both sides of Shortlidge road, which in his mind more than made up for the inconvenience of using an other route to reach College ave- v nue from the campus. In Effect Too Early Several students, though favor able to the one-way system as a whole, said they doubted the ne cessity of putting it into effect so early in the evening. They said that since no real tie up is present until late at - night, the one-way system was not neces sary so early. A number of cars turned south on Shortlidge road when leaving the parking lot in back of Grange. Signs announcing' the one-way system, however, had not been erected at the exit to the lot, and many drivers apparently were unaware of the new sys tem. The experimental plan was an nounced Monday by Walter Wei gand, director of physical plant, In an effort to alleviate the traf fic tieups on' : dating nights.
