limited Parking Space
Calls for Traffic Pules
When some .20 thousand, students and townspeople are brought together in' an area
which maintains limited parking facilities, the result is apt to be somewhat confusing. This
may explain, in part, the traffic and parking regulations of the University campus and the
borough of, State College, which, at first glance, would appear to have some rather unusual
features.,
First, any student who intends to operate a motor vehicle in or about State College is
to register it with the
at his fall semester
Registration, or, if the ear is
brought here later, at the Campus
Patrol office, 320 Old Main.
Permits to. park a car on campus
are issued only in the case of a
student who is commuting, or if
he is physically handicapped. Dor
mitory residents are issued per
mits to park their cars on desig
nated areas, and are not permitted
to park or drive on the campus
during class hours from 8 a.m. to
5 p.m. Women students may bring
cars to Penn State only for speci
fic periods after receiving per
mission from the Dean of Wo
fen’s office.
Parking permits must be per
manently attached to the wind
shield, and must be renewed
annually. Student driving, on
campus is prohibited from 8 a.m.
imtil noon Saturdays. Parking on
tampus between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m.
is prohibited except for those who
have special permits. At any
other times, cars with or without
parking permits may be parked
in any legal area on the campus.
Speed on campus roads in the
central area is limited to 25 miles
per hour and to a rate within this
limit which provides for the
of pedestrians. Drivers
must yield the right of way to
pedestrians crossing at campus
crosswalks. Where roadside park
ing is permitted it must be in the
. direction of traffic only.
>' In many of the regular parking
areas on the campus, a limited
number of spaces are designated
as “Reserved for Visitors.” These
spaces may not be used by any
Students or employees.
The registration of a car with
the University constitutes the
acceptance by the person whose
car is registered of the responsi
bility of seeing that no vehicle
registered in his name - is parked
driven in violation to the reg
ulations. Any car parked in vio
lation of regulations-is in danger
of being towed away at the
owners risk and expense.
Parking and traffic .fines are
imposed on students by Traffic
Court, and habitual offenders may

Traffic Court's Long Arm
Nabs Student Violators
Traffic Court is a group of students trying and, if necessary,
punishing students who violate the University’s traffic laws.
The court will meet the second Tuesday after classes begin
and the traffic code will be enforced starting with .the first day of
classes. Violators during Orientation Week will receive warnings
from the Campus Patrol. :
The following rules laid down by
the group will go into effect this
semester.
Traffic and parking regulations
specified on the student folio will
be ‘ adhered to. Students will re
ceive a copy of this folio when
they register their car.
'Each student, wether or not he
has a parking permit, must regis
ter his car if he has it here more
than three weeks. The fine for fail
ing to register a car will be $2.
Parking tickets must be reported
to the Campus Patrol office 36
hours after it was received. Stu
dents must appear in person at the
office and bring the ticket with
them. A $1 fine will be levied for
failing to report on time.
The range of fines are $1 for the
first offense, $3 for the second, $5
for the third and Traffic Court pro
bation. The fourth offense will cost
$lO and will entail suspension of
campus driving and parking priv
ileges for 60 days. This punish
ment will be enforced 24 hours a
day and the student may not have
his car on campus during that
time.
A five-time violator will have
his car sent home by the dean of
men for 16 weeks. If the penalty
is incurred within the last 16 weeks
of the spring semester, the pen
alty wilbbe carried over to the re
mainder of the 16 weeks in the
fall semester.
If sending a student’s car home
is infeasible (such as a graduating
senior incurring his fifth offense)
the person will be referred to the
disciplinary' committee by the dean
of men.
Fines, whether first or fifth of
fenses, must be paid within 48
hours, or the dean of men will take
action. This could possibly mean

Also, graduating seniors, incurring
three or more violations, will be
referred to the disciplinary com
mittee by the dean of men.
