PAGE TWO Cars Towed Off Campus For Parking Violations About 25 automobiles have been towed from the campus during the first five days of this week because of illegal parking, Phillip A. Mark, captain of the campus patrol, said yesterday. Mark said that the cars were being towed at the rate of "five or six" a day. The large number of parking and driving violations was indi cated at Tribunal Tuesday when 15 persons appeared there, many on second and third traffic vio lations charges. Many of the students charged with illegal parking and driving practices complained that they did not know the campus regu lations Regulations Available ' Others said they thought the changes in the rules made them ambiguous. However, Capt. Mark reported that the basic no-parking and no-driving regulations have remained the same since a group of changes was made in 1947. These regulations, Mark pointed out, are available to any student in written form and may be ob tained from the campus patrol office in 320 Old Main at any time. In addition, David Mutchler, chairman of Tribunal, said that the regulations are printed in the 1951-52 Student Handbook. The handbook is available at the Stu dent Union office and is required reading for new freshmen. The parking and traffic regu lations of the College, as set up in 1947, state that "driving an d parking on the central campus is prohibited during the hours from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Sat urday noon. Must Obey Signs "Student car operators, includ ing commuters, may park only in west parking area and a desig nated student parking area east of McElwain Hall. "All persons' operating cars on the campus, no matter what their status, are required to obey all directive signs placed on campus roads, service and parking area.§." Exceptions to . these rules are that physically handicapped stu dents, certified by the College Health Service, may be granted special operating and parking per mits. Arrangements can be made with the campus patrol by the professor involved if students are to use their cars on the campus for special class or 'laboratory work. Visitors' cars on the campus are accorded all the privileges grant ed under regular permits. IBM Director To Give Talk On Equipment Dr. Cuthbert C.

Despite Faculty Despite the bitter debates that preceded the passage of the loy alty oath bill, little fuss was raised her when it finally became a law. However; tie measure wasn't met with open arms. Mo s t of the comments from facu l t y members interviewed boiled down to, "Well, it's the law," and, as one professor said, "It's like talking about a football game after the game is •over—a dead issue!" In a prepared-statement for the Daily Collegian, Neal Riemer, as sociate professor of political sci ence, stated, "All law-abiding citizens of this commonwealth will, of course, abide by this law insofar as it may affect them. Rightful respect for our constitu tional processes requires this. Respects Desire "But constitutional government imposes upon us not only a duty to obey the law, but also a duty to seek the amendment or repeal of unwise legislation. "I respect the desire to ensure the loyalty of all Pennsylvanians, be they either present or prospec tive public officers and employees (including public school teachers and teachers at state-aided insti tutions) or doctors, law ye rs , plumbers, and milkmen. • . "B u t . equally 'reasonable and 60 to Take Teaching. Exams ,Sixty prospective teachers in the State College area will take the national teacher examinations to be held here today. The -examinations will be con ducted by Dr. Hugh M. Davison, professor of educational research. All candidates for the common ex amination will report at 8:30 a.m. to 405 Old Main. They will com plete the test by 12:30 p.m. Optional examination c and i dates will return at 1:30 p.m. Those taking only one optional examination will complete work at 3:15 p.m. while those taking two tests will finish at 4:45 p.m. The national teachers examin ations are prepared and adminis tered annually by the Educational Testing Service.

The exam consists of a battery of tests designed to measure the professional background, mental ability, and general cultural knowledge of candidates for teaching positions. The tests cover professional information, general culture, English expression, and nonverbal reasoning. The majority of those taking the exam are college seniors pre paring . to teach or teachers ap plying 'for positions in school sys tems which encourage or require applicants to submit their scores. Jay Broad's Play Selected Winner In Writing Contest "Paths That Cross," a one-act play by Jay, Broad, senior in dra matics, has been selected as one of three top entries in an annual script-writing contest sponsored by the Fine Arts Festival of the University of North Carolina. This is the third time in the past five years that a Penn State student's play has been one of the prize-winners. Last year a play by Peter Whelan was among the trio, and five years ago Ed McCoy wrote a winning script. Next month Broad will travel to the university to see his ro mantic fantasy produced. A na tionally known critic will also be there. Each year the festival invites dramatics departments from east ern schools to submit one-act plays, and from these, three are chosen. "Paths That Cross" was written in Warren Smith's Dram 21 class last semester, and will be pre sented script-in-hand at Five O'c'.ock Theater Tuesday. Pechan Oath Debates, Says 'lt's the Law' equally loyal men may differ as to how loyalty is to be secured. This difference as to how loyalty is to be secured is the true area of debate for those sincerely and honestly dedicated to the preser sound; constitutional government vation and. perpetuation of free, in this commonwealth and in the United States. Pechan Bill Wrong Approach "I do not believe that the Pe chan bill is the proper approach to be used in obtaining the loyalty of free men. For this reason I op posed the Pechan bill prior to passage and will, while obeying the law insofar as it affects me, seek its repeal by constitutional means. "Believing this law to be an unwise means to secure a desir able end, I will also carefully fol low its administration to ascertain the extent of its damage upon the morale, integrity, and equality of education in this state. This will not be an easy task because it requires ascertaining whether or not freedom of speech, free dom of association, and freedom of thought are being impaired by the sometimes subtle insinuations of this bill. "I would caution all to respect the', right of those few who may seek to provide Our courts with Amendment Revised To Avoid Qinfusion The revision of the proposed amendment, to the All-College Con stitution regarding the changing of student fees was made to avoid constitutional confusion, David Olmsted, senior class president, told All-College Cabinet Thursday night. Olmsted added that he felt the revised amendment disposed of any loopholes which formerly ex isted. He said that he had drawn up the original proposal with an out-of-date copy of the constitu tion as his reference, and that he was not aware of this until after last .week's cabinet meeting. 'Definitedeed' The amendment had originally been presented as article 13 to the constitution. The revision, which retains the same meaning as the original proposal, brings th e amendment under article I, sec tion 8 of the consttituion. Olmsted said he felt there was a definite need for the amend ment because the members of cabinet cannot be full-time legis lators and the statistical • poll for which the amendment provides would be of considerable use for guidance purposes. 'Good Indication' Ross Lehman, assistant execu tive secretary of the Alumni As sociation and a cabinet adviser, said he feared the proposed poll might become a, "crutch" upon which cabinet would lean until (Continued on page eight) an opportunity to test the con stitutionality or administration of the act. Effective March 1 , "I hope that interested parties will, before pliinging into unin formed and partisan debate of this act, appraise the f ull act (The Pennsylvania Loyalty - Act,' Act No., 463, approved Dec. 22, 1951) in the light of the history and traditions of democratic and constitutional government in the United States." The measure becomes effective March 1 for all state and local government employees and pub lic school teachers. First introduced by Sen. Albert R. Pechan last January, the bill met strong opposition from teach ers, students, newspapers, axi d civic, labor, and religious groups. After-nearly a year of Controversy the watered-down loyalty o ath bill was finally passed Dec. 22 by the state General Assembly. Under the amended version, Penn State professors do •not ac tually have to sign the oath, but President Eisenhower is required to submit to the governor an an nual report reviewing his actions in keeping the College free of subversive elements. Colleges not receiving State aid are• exempt from the law.- gAmplAy, 7..3,31#50Y X 6, 195; By DAVE PELLNITZ Army Rifle Team Starts Program Having compiled a 37-24 rec ord during the fall semester, the Army ROTC rifle team has start ed its spring program by com peting against 14 rifle teams throughout the United, States.
