Women's dormitory rules and regulations are regarded sometimes as inconvenient nonsense— but following erne of them could, perhaps, have prevented unwelcome visits by . a prowler to Thompson and Atherton Halls last weekend. The head hostess in Atherton Hall yesterday ventured a guess as to how the prowler entered that dormitory. She said the ground floor doors had been locked and checked for the night, al though it was before closing hours. A coed, hungry for a mid-evening snack; may have left the dorm through one of the doors. Although locked to the outside, they can be opened from the inside. The door didn’t lock again when she closed it. The result? Several hundred terrified coeds. The door had been locked about 9:45 p.m. as it is every night because it is impossible to lock eight doors promptly at 10 p.m. Coeds have the right fo leave a dorm at any time, as long as they are in by closing time, but they do not have the right to open locked doors. To usurp this right, as was demonstrated Sunday night, may be more convenient, but it can threaten the security of all who think they Parking and! Gripes Of all the crises to strike the Penn State campus within recent years, this year's parking situation would appear to be one of the worst. At least all the gripes which have arisen con cerning it would lead to this impression. There is no doubt in anyone’s mind of the fact that campus parking facilities leave much to be desired. The question is, what good-will aH the griping do? Parking facilities are*in adequate, obviously, due to the growth in en rollment at the University in recent years. And steps are being taken to alleviate the situ ation. But for the present, there is nothing to be done but sit'and await results. The general attitude toward the situation recently has been nothing short of childish. And this is true not only on the part of students and' other campus drivers, but also on the part of campus officials who would certainly be expected to maintain cooler heads. At present nothing is being accomplished save the growth of animosity among all con cerned. And it is obvious that a little patience by all is the order of the day. Steps are being taken such as the improve ment of present parking facilities and the cre ation of .new ones, but the progress will .not be evident for some little while. So for the pres ent, the situation might be somewhat alleviated by strict adherence to regulations. Most im portant of' all however, a little less griping and a little more mature attitude would certainly be ia order on the pari of all concerned. —AI Klimcke Bell Merits His Honor Louis H. Bell, the unsung gentleman who runs the public, information department of the University, collected a whale of an honor this summer—and he deserves every bit of it. -Bell was cited for outstanding achievement by the American College Public Relations As sociation. The ditation praised Bell for his con tribution to the association during the past ten years and his “able, dignified and broad-gauge interpretation of the Pennsylvania State Uni versity, and thus representing Amex-ican higher education, across State and Nation.” Quite a citation for a man who daily faces the task of keeping possibly the most remote school in the nation (for metropolitan newspaper coverage) on the map. The citation also praised Bell for his “bril liant and unstinting service "to the association, in particular as first editor and pathseiter of its now well-established "Newsletter" and as "far-sighted and successful vice president for membership." Bell has been head of the public information department since 1943 and prior to that, he served on the faculty. Bell is also a graduate of the University, so he is no stranger here. It is a fine honor to a man who day-in and day-out does a very fine job for'the University. —-George Bairey Research Grant A grant of $lBOO to the Univer sity -by the Research Corp. of New York-City will continue sup port of research on the chemis try of payrole and derivatives.

An old business adage is that the best way to sell something is to advertise. Many coeds in advertantly advertise to passersby and'prowlers when they neglect to draw their shades after dark. . A large University is bound to attract many types of people, some undesirable, to its cam pus. If a person is so natured he -is in clined to theft or to lust, a clear view into an empty room or to one occupied by a coed may stir him to seek an open door.

Today is Froth Day. The' frothy publication is as inevitable as Penn State weath er, and through somewhat similar twists of fate we’re victims of circumstance and circulation. Froth Day—the day all journalists regard with great embarrassment, their closet case of the fourth estate. And with much concern we pen men view these bourgois jesters who try so valiantly to master the skills of writing. It is with saddened hearts that we realize the im possibility of passing on to them the wisdom of true journalism. . But Frosb, and upperclassmen as well—as we said, .it happens only once a month. Froth Disease is not contagious unless one gets too close io printing presses, and such cures as menial institutions, and - rest homes are being improved constantly. So bear with the monthly gag, students—it is to be tolerated and guided. Scorn is lost uppn it. And ironically, its circulation staff is un beatable. “They’ll get you every time.” So be it. “And so as we greet with down cast eyes The advent of Froth’s day, We toast the day’s demise And with it freedom from the vice For one more month!” —Peggy McClain and Nancy Ward Registration: Success Despite ominous. predictions and many gripes and groans last spring, the new alphabetical registration schedule this semester has proved to be a success. The second highest number of students in the history of the University—ll,6Bs regis tered in the 3Vz day period with comparatively few long lines: For the first time freshman and sophomores were not forced to delay tak ing required courses because upperclassmen, seeking electives, had filled- the sections: Thanks lo an alternation in the Senate Regu lations for Undergraduate Students, no upper classmen, either, were kept from required courses. The rule change, anticipating possible snafus, states that upperclassmen would be given preference should a section be over crowded, both on a semester and on a curricu lum basis. Registration assistants were able to keep abreast of students registering. By the time the second half day of registration opened Wednes day afternoon, all IBM cards received Wednes day morning had been sorted according to category and most cards' had been sorted on a sectional basis. Perhaps the only harm done by the new regi stration system was to upperclassmen’s pride.

Instructor,, History (This is the first in a series of articles by University faculty members. Dr. Thaderi has earned his advance degrees at the University of Zurich in . Switzerland and at the University of ' Paris. He presents o first-hand report on the Trieste situation in this, the first of two articles. Dr. Thaden’s second article will appear in Saturday’s Daily Collegian.) At first glance, Trieste appears not too different from a typical Italian seaport town.like Naples. In both Trieste and Naples, there is a narrow plain near the sea with white-facaded, modem buildings and wide streets. The hills towering above the port are criss-crossed with the- narrow winding streets of an old city, with its animated, chattering humanity shaded from the hot sun by drying laun dry hanging between windows and the stone walls of houses whose top stories nearly meet overhead, A closer examination of the town and environs inevitably dis pels much of the initial impres sion one might have of Trieste as a typical Italian town. Trieste's geographical position , and history provide us with the essential explanation' for -her rather unique position as a city of Italian culture—at least 70 per cent of Trieste's population claims Italian as their native tongue—which is economically and historically a part of cen tral Europe, not of Italy. The geographical and economic hinterland of Trieste today lies in Austria and Yugoslavia. The agricultural and industrial ex ports and imports of these two countries naturally pass through Trieste, whose. posi tion at the northern end of the Adriatic makes her the nearest port to Austria and the most prac tical one for Yugoslavia. Tito’s nation otherwise lacks good ports, because of inadequate transporta tion facilities over the mountains separating the interior of Yugo slavia from the Adriatic. —Ann Leh Historically, too, Trieste has been much more closely associated with-its northern and eastern hin terland than with Italy since the time it was a Roman colony, then known as Tergeste. • During the nineteenth century, many Triestinos showed an : in creasing interest in the “idea of an Italian nation, despite their prosperity under Austria. After the creation of a united Italy in the sixties and seventies, this sen timent became more and more pronounced. , ; . , • ■ln World War IL Mussolini picked the losing side, and the complaints of the Slovenes and the Croats concerning then; maltreatment during the Fascist regime therefore received sym pathetic treatment by the vic torious allies.

Trieste, together with a small part of Istria—in all, 285 square miles—was declared a Free • Ter ritory, whose independence “shall be assured by the Security:Coun cil of the United Nations.” The Free Territory was to‘have a governor who was not “a'.'citi zen of either Italy, Yugoslavia, or the Free Territory” and; who was to be nominated by ihg" Se curity Council in consultation with the Italian and. Yugoslav governments. However, no'candi date satisfactory to the Russians, Americans, Yugoslavs and' Ital ians could be found. Accordingly, the Free Territory remained without a governor and divided, into the two . occupation zones which had been established in 1945' by the commanders of the British and Yugoslav, armies: Zone A, administered by a British major-general with British .and American staffs and troops under him; and Zone B, to the south of the city of Trieste, administered by a Yugoslav commander. f Off Painting Purchased For Old Main lounge An oil painting* “The White Church,” by Mrs. Gladys H.
