Would not the student who stole a chicken Hie Best Solution Next year's frosh will have to walk. 13iis was decided by the Council of Adminis tration, the University’s legislative body for non-academic matters, early this week. Fresh man cars were barred from campus and from State College. TSie University felt this action was necessary to ease the ever-growing parking, problem. Actually, the change is only a stop-gap measure. With or without freshmen cars, the campus doesn’t have the parking capacity for all the cars students, faculty members, and University personnel bring with them. Tha result of the action will be to open some 700 parking spaces on campus and in Slate College. This is about one-third all the spaces alloted to students, according to Campus Patrol figures. Barring the frosh from bringing their cars with them is the fairest method of creating new spaces. The only other alternative was to move further from the campus the line which determines whether students will be granted permits. Students living outside the line, drawn through the borough, receive permits. Students inside the line walk to class or park illegally. But the new action will not be without hard ship. Freshmen from hard-to-get-to towns will have an even more difficult time getting home. We hope student government units and the University earnestly engage in attempts to get transportation companies to improve their fa cilities both during vacation periods and throughout the school year. There's much room for improvement. The University also considered building a far from-central-campus catch-all parking area open to anyone who wanted to park there. Study of the expense that would be involved ruled Out this idea. Beside the high initial cost of constructing a lot, patroling it would be a continual expense as the lot would have to be guarded to prevent thefts from cars. Thus, the action that was taken appears to have been the only practical solution. It was unfortunate, but necessary. Increased transportation facilities will ease the sting somewhat. We hope they come. —The Editor Gazette...

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA JACK ALBRECHT, Bupinau Manager Housemothers? Solutions to disciplinary problems are almost as numerous as the problems themselves. The latest one comes from the Woman's . Student Government Association Senate. \ Senate decided Wednesday to try a system of student enforcement of WSGA regulations. However this new system will not go into effect until the women at large approve it. The plan will be presented to them at the beginning of the fall semester for a vote of confidence, so to speak. If the vote is negative, no changes in existing rule enforcement procedures will be made. How ever if the majority of the women are in favor of student-enforcCd regulations, 'the whole dis ciplinary set up will be altered. Each hall would elect monitors who would take over all the WSGA rule-enforcement duties of the hostesses except those regarding sign ing out and signing in. Apparently this means women students would check to see if beds were made before noon, that hair dryers and sun lamps were not plug ged into dormitory outlets, that women did not iron in their rooms, that they did not shout out the windows, that they did not type in their rooms after 11 p.m. and dosens of other things. Perhaps there are women who never violate WSGA regulations, but we doubt if there are enough of them in. each dormitory to qualify to be monitors. A law-enforcement officer should certainly obey the laws she attempts to enforce. Hence, the main difficulty with the imple mentation of the proposed discipline system will be to find a corps of qualified monitors. How many women would want to have police powers in their living units? A feeling of ill will between the monitor and the women under her jurisdiction might easily result if a student housemother told a late sleeper to be sure to make up her bed before noon. A mature woman certainly commands ' more respect than ah undergraduate. And even after the monitors are elected,, how many of them will report all infractions to the Judicial Board? If they did they would lose friends and if they didn’t they would not be performing their duties. ' House mothers are doing a fine job. And since there is no real disciplinary problem, let's not offer impractical solutions [VERSITY HOSPITAL Ruth Eshleman, Mildred Hundy, Mari lette Johnson, Lloyd Krull, Robert Pe lk, Harry Ross, Charles Roth, Irwin Rosemary Asquino, anna Jackson, Jeam trosky, Suzanne Pit Weiss.
