ferent approach to solve the prob
lem than had been previously at
tempted• by cabinet. Cabinet dis
solved the drinking colloquy last
week.
'AIM also approved cabinet's
preferential seating committee

Campus Driving Limited
While Classes in Session
A new parking plan that will prohibit students living in the
borough from driving on campus duririg class hours and will re
strict driving ,of on-campus and commuting students was released•
yesterday by the All-College traffic committee.
The committee intends to put the plan into operation around
July 1 for staff members and at
the start of the fall semester for
students.
" The plan is designed to alleviate
the overcrowded parking con
ditions on campus. There are only
2562 parking spaces for about 4000
student and staff cars.
The plan will include registra
tion of - all student and College
staff member cars, designation of
restricted parking areas, and is
suance of special parking stickers.
Enforcement Periods
According to Walter H. Wie
gand, head of the committee, stu
dents living on campus who have
cars will 'be given stickers that
will permit them to park in desig
nated areas but not to drive on
campus during the ho ur s the
regulations will be in effect.
The plan will be enforced be
tween 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday
through Friday, and from 8 a.m.
to 12 noon on Saturday. • There
will be no restrictions for other
periods, Wiegand said.
Commuting students will be
given a different type of sticker
that will permit *them to park
in certain areas and• to drive on
campus. A commuting student is
defined as one _coming from an
area outside the corporate limits
of the' borough.
1562 Spaces for Staff
Wiegand said the latest ,count
of campus parking space shows
2562 spaces available, including
about 500 in the Nittany-Pollock
area where on-campus students
may park.
"Another 500 have . indicated
that they • need cars to commute
to campus, leaVing about 1562
spaces for staff members," Wie
gand said. "In the survey last fall
to clarify what the demand was
on our parking facilities, about
1900 staff members indicated they
drove their cars to' campus."
Wiegand said the various deans
and department heads will be al
lotted ' quotas of parking spaces,
and' they •in turn will designate
which staff members will be given
parking stickers. These stickers
will bear a parking area number
in which the car is to be parked.
Wiegand heads a five-man corn
mittee that worked out the de
tails of the plan. He said a larger
committee has •been studying the

To Set Date
For Strike
By JIM GROMILLER
Nearly 200 service employees
of the College, members of local
67 of the . American Federation of
State, County, and Municipal Em
ployees. (AFL), last night voted
unanimously to call for a special
meeting to set a date for a work
stoppage.
Union officials indicated that
the special meeting will probably
be held March 19.
The union membership has
been .variously estimated at from
between 300 and 800 of the 1800
employees of the College.
The action came after a union
spokesman indicated that the Col
lege apparently had no further
plan under consideration- to iron
.out the union's grievances.
The union opposed the variable
raise granted Feb. 1 and instead
is advocating an across the board
increase.
The College has explained that
the wage adjustment• which gave
increases of from $5 to $2O a
month was designed to eliminate
inequality M. salaries.' -
The raise of f ere d ,by the
College in the February pay
amounted to an average of $l5
monthly, and raised service em
ployees wages about $32 a month,
on the average, over what they
were July 1, 1951.
