Wiegand told the student leaders of the various campus groups that at the present time It was im possible for all persons having cars to park on campus and that some restrictions are necessary until the College can reach the “ultimate, ” The all-College committee made up of Chairman Wiegand, a mem ber of Milton S. Eisenhower’s adivsory council, deans of various schools and student representa tive David Mutchler has reached no definite solutions to the prob lems but came up with a possible solution. That possible solution, Wiegand said, a stop-gap measure until all the planned parking lot additions and enlargements can be com pleted, is that only commuting, disabled and on-campus car own ers will be permitted to park on campus. Constrict Circle Commuters, Wiegand said, would be considered as those out side an imaginery circle which is to be drawn around and through sections of the borough of State College. Wiegand declared that the plan was to continually constrict this circle as parking space was in creased until the imaginary circle had been drawn up to the campus. Major Sore Restrictions have also been pro posed for faculty and staff mem bers, Wiegand said. Staff curtail ment of parking would take the form of a quota issued to the heads of each school who would decide those who were permitted campus parking. Wiegand listed one of the ma jor sores in the parking problem as the jamming up of convenient areas such as the lots between Grange and Temporary building, the lot behind Osmond and the Engineering building lots. • IFC President Stanley Wenger!

The council, however, did not close the door to further nego tiations. It recommended by a 16-3 vote that IFC president Stanley Wengert, who presented the pro posal, suggest to the IFC execu tive committee that Panhel re tain its present unpaid co-chair manship. The agreement also calls for three fourths of the profits to go to IFC and one fourth to Panhel in proportion to the amount of money contributed by fraternities and sororities. IFC VP Chairman If the profits of the dance are sufficient, the proposal states, the dance chairman shall be compen sated along with the other com mittee members.

Wengert said he will take the Panhel recommendations to the IFC executive committee for re consideration.
