Cabinet 'Rush Job': To Save Face?
The All-University Traffic Committee Thurs
day night presented a report to All-University
Cabinet recommending freshmen be barred
from having cars on campus.
It is not our purpose today to argue the merits
or faults of this proposal, but we wonder if the
report or the committee itself, for that matter,
is not to be questioned.
Last fall, Cabinet set up the Cabinet Person
nel Interviewing Committee. This committee
was to interview applicants for Cabinet com
mittees and make recommendations for appoint
ment on a merit basis.
However, the members of the committee were
not interviewed, but appointed by the All-Uni
versity president alone.
The reason for this, as given by All-Univer
sity Vice President John Speer, was that there
was not time. Speer said action had to be taken
quickly, so the information could be included
in the Orientation Week handbook if the report

On One-Way Road
TO THE EDITOR: I am confident many drivers
and pedestrians who have been trapped in the
confusion of double parked cars and darting
coeds and their dates have hoped that eventual
ly someone would take steps to eliminate the
automotive anarchy that exists on Shortlidge
road, between College avenue and Pollock
road, every Friday and Saturday night.
According to the Daily Collegian, a proposal
was to have gone before All-University Cabinet
at Thursday's meeting to make this a one-way
street between the hours of midnight and 1 a.m.
However, this laudable suggestion was ap-
parenily brushed aside by the cryptic comment
"impractical."

and probably won't be the last. But we wonder
how Cabinet expects to command great respect
'if these actions continue.
This "rush job" also raises another point.
The freshman driving plan was suggested by
Walter H. Wiegand, director of the physical
plant, in a letter to S. K. Hostetter, comptroller.
This indicates, at least, that the administration
is interested in seeing such a plan pul, into
effect.
We wonder if Cabinet's flurry to take action
on the report was not simply a move to save
face—to take action before the administration
took action.
Passage of the proposal may have bees• in

"On the other hand it's good to have a student like Worthal, in

The Other Half
University students have their little problems and big ones, too.
Students are apathetic. Election campaigning is driVing politicians
slowly mad. From time to, time (although now, with housemothers,
less often), fraternities are placed on social probation.
But so far no one has come up with quite as big a problem as the
seniors at the University of the City of Los Angeles (UCLA, to you)
had. The happy ending in the
Daily Bruin read: "The senior
class ends its two months of social
probation this week."
No other explanation was of
fered, but, I still wonder—what
could an entire class do to be put
on probation?
The newest controversy at .the
University of Pennsylvania sur
rounds the Alma Mater. Should
"Hail Pennsylvania," the present
alma mater, be replaced by "Red
and Blue." According to a Daily
Pennsylvanian poll, most students
and faculty members feel "Hail
Pennsylvania" is too unfamiliar
to students and "Red, and Blue''
is more typical of the University
(Red and Blue is the tune ending
‘‘. . . so fight, fight, fight, Penn
sylvania, fight on for Penn . . .",
but none of the Daily Collegian
staff was able to supply identifi
cation for "Hail Pennsylvania.")
The following item is reprinted
in full from the Brown and White
of Lehigh University:
"There's a noble note on the
bulletin board giving directions
on 'How to get to Penn State
and Bucknell.' Not to say that we
don't appreciate the beautifully
drawn mat) and the nicely printed
route numbers, with the final des
tinations and the starting points
duly pictured. Follow the direc
tions and you can't miss State—
follow, that is, try the Bucknell
directions if you want to go to
Lewistown—home of the Viscose
plant and Lewistown High School
and the Lewistown Library—but
not Bucknell University. That
dry campus is located at Lewis
burg, about 50 miles to the north
east as the car flies."
This spring's junior prom at
Ohio University will feature three
"name" music attractions. In the
student union building, LuAnn
Simms (of Arthur Godfry fame)
will sing accompanied by the
Commanders, a Decca records ag
gregation known for its unique
sound and rhythm. And, in the
men's gym, the Four Lads will
hold forth for the evening. That's
almost as good a deal as the $3
combination ticket for Lehigh's
big weekends which gives admis
sion to a dixieland concert, play,
and name band dance.
Back at Ohio U, students have
been reminded that student union
dress rules will be enforced. The
regulations include stockings for

this is not meant to be taken as
a constructive suggestion.
Like to sit back, relax, lis
ten to some good music? Judging
from the popularity of the Hetzel
Union Building listening rooms,
the answer here is yes. At Uni
versity of Kansas, the art museum
is experimenting to discover if
students there like the same thing.
Twice each afternoon Monday
through Saturday and once on
Sundays the museum sponsors
record concerts in its sculpture
room. The record selections range
from Georgian chants to such
modernists as Igor Stravinsky.
The Hullaballo of Tulane Uni
versity observed its 'soth anniver
sary as a campus publication last
week, with the story of its his
tory. The paper started as a pro
test to the University's official
publication back in 1905 and has
continued, first as a full-size
weekly paper and now as a tab
loid daily. As for why the Hulla
ballo is a tabloid:
"It took more than 500 Tulane
dormitory students to convert the
Hullaballo into a tabloid. It all
happened one Monday night in
October when campus residents
were aroused by coeds voices in
the recreation room at Phelps
House (a men's dorm). The men
came downstairs, found the coeds,
and were inspired to do greater
things. Results? Tulane's first
panty-raid and the first tabloid,
style Hullaballo, which already
burdened down with pictures for
that issue, could not resist the ac
tion shots it got that night. (Note

window at right.)"
