Better Housing
Facilities Asked
Graduate students are for the most part dissatisfied with their
present housing accommodations and 85 per cent of them feel that
the University should do something to provide better housing facili
ties for graduate students, a graduate housing survey -taken recently
reveals.
The results of the housing questionnaires, distributed with the
Training Group
Hears O'Brien
At Ist Session
Approximately sixty-five stu
dents attended the first session of
the Leadership Training Program.
Joseph O'Brien, professor of pub
lic speaking, addressed the group
on the subject of "Parliamentary
Procedure and Floor Leadership.'
O'Brien's talk was followed by
demonstration work in which
members of the group partici
pated.
O'Brien discussed parliamentary
process and leadership as an in
tegral part of parliamentary pro
cedure. Parliamentary process "is
a lot more than knowing that a
two-thirds vote closes the debate,"
he said. It includes human rela
tions—dealing with people—, the
manner of speaking and discuss
ing, and the parliamentary rules.
O'Brien stated leadership must
comprise competence, a know
ledge of human relations, and
"drive"—the ability to work hard
and long.
In the following five weeks of
the course, speakers will discuss
the responsibility of leadership,
organization of the Penn State
student government, reports, cor
respondence, delegating responsi
bility, publicity and public rela
tions, working with advertisers,
and program content.
Penn State
Stamp Sought
Sen. Edward Martin (R.-Pa.)
has reported•to the Daily Colleg
ian that the decision on whether
to issue, a postage stamp honor
ing the University on its 100th
anniversary in 1955 will be made
by the Post Office department.
Martin proposed the stamp at
the request of the Board of Trus
tees during the last session of
Congress.
But, he explained in a letter
to the Daily Collegian received
yesterday, "Because so many re
quests for commemorative stamps
were being received by the Sen
ate post office and civil service
committee, a- resolution was pass
ed in the last session of Congress
whereby the Senate committee
has delegated authority to the
Post Office department to con
sider such requests."
"The final decision in the issu
ante of such a stamp will res
with the Post Office department,'
he wrote.

night at Alpha Zeta.
fall issue of the graduate student
Newsletter and again at registra
tion, were tabulated this week.
At present 57 per cent of unmar
ried male graduate students and
27 per cent of the unmarried wo
men live in private homes while
only 21 and 3 per cent respectively
would choose to do so.
High Rents Cited
Chief complaints of the married
graduate students are that rents
are exorbitant and apartments are
inadequately maintained. Of 197
married graduate students who
offered proposals for University
housing action, 141 suggested
apartment houses be built.
One hundred twelve of 234 un
married graduate students offer
ing housing proposals said that
the University should • provide
graduate student dormitories.
Twenty-four married graduate
students also favored the grad
dorms.
William M. Smith Jr., professor
of family relations and council
adviser, said "I believe that more
students would have chosen a
graduate dorm as first choice (in
stead of apartments), if they knew
what it might be like."
(No comment was available on
what a graduate dormitry might
be like or if one is likely to be
built in the near future.)
Grad Social Center
Of the single men and Women
questioned, 67 per cent said they
felt a need for a graduate student
social center. A total of 442 or 58
per cent of both married and sin
gle students said they felt such
a student center was needed.
One hundred nine of 177 mar
ried male graduate students said
they felt rents should be lowered,
although married men indicated
they were willing to pay more
than the average rent favored by
single men for housing accommo
dations to be shared.
Pollock Drivers
Given. Tickets
Campus Patrolmen yesterday
stopped traffic on Pollock road
and passed out tickets to students
driving on the road during class
room hours.
A number of violators . were
caught. Capt. Philip A. Mark,
head of the patrol, said he did
not have any figures available on
how many tickets were issued.
He said it was "quite a•few."
Mark warned that this policy
would be pursued until students
stopped driving on Pollock road
during class hours, a violation of
campus traffic regulations.
Violators are subject to a $1
fine for first offenses and $4 fines
for second offenses. Third offend
ers appear before the Traffic
Court arid are dealt with by the
Dean of Men's office.

Crackdown
On Driving
Has Begun
Campus patrol has begun a
campaign cracking down on stu
dents driving on Pollock road dur
ing class hours, James Dunlap,
Traffic Court chairman, said last
night.
Dunlap said that 12 students
were reported driving on Pollock
road in a 20-minute interval yes
terday. Student driving on Pol
lock road from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Monday to Friday, and 8 a.m. to
12 noon Saturday is a traffic vio
lation, Dunlap added.
Two persons were sent to the
Dean cd Men Frank J. Simes on a
general recommendation by the
Traffic Court which met last
night. They will probably re
ceive a traffic probation, Dunlap
said.
Six of the seven persons sched
uled for Traffic Court appeared
last night. The student not ap
pearing sent a letter to the Court
asking to be excused and explain
ing his case to the Court.
Of the $l5 levied in fines, $4
was collected. The other $ll will
be paid to the Dean of Men. One
fine was suspended, one person
was deferred for a hearing next
Tuesday, and one student was ac
quitted.
In operation one month this se
mester. under the new plan for
collecting fines, the Traffic Court
has collected $350 in fines. This
goes the Interclass Budget sys
tem. Information about the use of
this fund can be obtained at the
Student Union desk in Old Main.
Ten students were placed on
Traffic Court probation, and five
had their cars sent home by the
Dean of Men this semester.
