Faculty Parking: It's Time for a Change
The University's decision to investigate cam
pus traffic regulation on the faculty and staff
is an encouraging move from the student view
point. But there will be no ease in the present
traffic situation until something concrete is
forthcoming from that investigation.
President Milton S. Eisenhower has set up
a three-man committee to investigate and rec
ommend measures for enforcement of traffic
regulations on faculty and staff. After hearing
of this, All-University Cabinet recommended
steps be taken "to establish a suitable and
workable method of curbing" such violations.
These moves by cabinet and the University
were direct results of criticism of inequities in
the parking set-up. Students are under a rather
strict fining system. Faculty and staff have
had no real pressure put on them in regard to
campus parking. And while students continually
pay traffic fines, faculty and staff drivers cause
about as many violations, and get off relatively
easy. The University has finally realized some
thing must be done.
But the University, as cabinet recommended,
'The Grad Seat and All-University Cabinet
That the Graduate Student Association, the
"student council" of University graduate stu
dents, has refused to accept a seat on All-Uni
versity Cabinet seems to be the wisest move for
all concerned.
There would be advantages in having a vot
ing graduate representative on cabinet, but the
disadvantages, both to undergraduates and grad
uate students themselves, seem to outweigh the
advantages. The graduate students also seem
to have arrived at this conclusion.
The original proposal for representation on
cabinet was later modified to an ex-officio seat.
This would have given grad students a voice in
cabinet affairs, but no voting power. The grad
ual realization of the responsibilities involved
as a member of cabinet seems to have led to
the latest, and complete, withdrawal from seek
ing membership.
In the first place, grad students and under
graduates are subject to different sets of regu
lations. Cabinet is the highest representative
body for the undergraduates, and at present
does not recommend to the University any
thing in behalf of grad students.
But, even though cabinet is an undergraduate
body, one voting graduate would have made
possible cabinet recommendations to the Uni
versity in behalf of graduates. The benefits to
the graduates themselves under these conditions
are, to say the least, doubtful.. Grad students
with a cabinet seat would •be getting only an
indirect voice in making recommendations,
whereas the present association is a direct
voice.
That a cabinet seat for the graduates might
also mean they would be subject to parking
regulations for undergraduates, and u n d e r
graduate fees, were also considered by the grad
uate group.
The graduate seat would have been unfair to

More on the Chapel
TO THE EDITOR: Doubtless the proposed
Georgian style chapel will cause an airing of
pro's and con's of that architectural design.
Several groups have already circulated petitions
demanding a "contemporary" design rather
than Georgian.
It occurs to this writer that their use of the'
word "contemporary" is obscure. The construc
tion of the chapel at this time will make its de
sign "contemporary" unless a specific 18th cen
tury Georgian structure serves as a model.
What, then, is meant by this moot word?
. . . The chapel design should be congruous
with the setting of Hort Woods. Its effect should
emphasize the 'true inter-denominational charac
ter of this All-Faith Chapel. Finally, if one ac
cepts Henry Steele Commager's definition of a
university as "an institution where students
and scholars engage together in the imaginative
exploration of the past and the imaginative
search for the truth," one must see that his
proposed chapel, Georgian or whatever design,
must serve as a place for contemplation of the
past and inspiration for the future, or it will
fail to function as a part of this so-defined
university,

must present a "suitable and workable" solu
tion. The present system of merely reprimanding
faculty and staff violators should have - been
enough. It has not been. And unless a really
workable solution comes from the three-man
committee, inequities will continue.-
We have frequently been reminded of cam
puses where students are not- permitted to
have cars, let alone drive and park them an
campus. But we have not often been told of
campuses where strict regulations are put on
faculty and staff parking. It is obvious faculty
and staff parking needs regulation at Penn
State.
As has been shown before, the University
cannot be expected to act as a policeman over
its employees. However, through the University
Senate, regulation may easily be placed upon
faculty and staff parking. And through the
Senate, many of these inequities may be solved.
Students have . placed themselves under strict
traffic regulations. The faculty has had liberal
regulation which it has misused. The faculty
has had its chance. Now, it is time for a change.
the undergraduates of the University. If prac
tically all undergraduate regulations had not
been rewritten to include graduates, how could
a graduate voice in undergraduate affairs be
justified?
Clearly, the graduate students' withdrawal
of their request for a seat on cabinet was wise.

Why Do We Vote?
The student body goes to the polls today and
tomorrow to decide who will govern it in the
coming year, and who will spend $12,000 in
student fees. •
In the past semester, we have heard cries
of "corruption." We have. been told the main
issue of *the' election is'to clean' up politics.
The best way to ' clean up politics—which. is
what _politicians seem bent upon—is to elect
clean students to office.
It has been n that lack of party unity and
poor platforms make this election, as so many
others, merely a fight between personalities.
Therefore, the personal qualities of each candi
date must be carefully 'udged if the best results
are to be obtained.
The direction of • student government in the
coming year will be largely determined by those
sitting in the six All-University Cabinet seats
to be filled now. Students will be electing three
All-University officers, two class officers, and
the. Athletic Association president to those
seats.
What student government will do, what bene
fits students will receive, and what the student
body will accomplish next year all depend upon
whayt the student body does today and tomor
row. A wise choice now may be the best way
for students to accomplish something in the
future.
