Comb, University librarian, an
nounced.
The new policy will continue
for a trial period and its continu
ance will depend on student ac
ceptance of the plan. Ashtrays

tables.
:If the floor gets littered with
cigarette butts and burns are
found on the tables, the policy
will' be discontinued, according
to McComb.

been the problem at the library
of students congregating in the
lobby and the halls to smoke, dis

studying.
The new plan is intended to
eliminate extra noise and con

students will. not .make this a
"social center," according to Mc-
Comb. It the location does not

28 (IP)—Republican National
Chairman Leonard W. Hall
came out of a 45-minute poli
tical huddle with President

his personal opinion.

didn't discuss the President's
second term plans our a specific
•uation. but . Hall reported he
felt "very much encouraed
and would continue - making
campaign plans on the prospect
that Eisenhower will run again
for President in 1956.
He. said he felt more optimistic
about the chanees of• Eisenhower
running than he did when they

FOR A BETTER . PENN STATE
New Road
Is Planned
By Borough
State College borough council
is planning a new parkway to
run from the east end of campus
to Easterly Parkway and over
to Route 322.
The road will be designed to
collect campus-bound traf f i c
from the fast-growing residential
areas and divert it from down
town, where crowded conditions
at noon and evening hours have
created a traffic problem.
After the road is completed,
students traveling south and re
turning during holidays will be
able to bypass the business sec
tions.
The borough council has just
received a proposal for the park
v-ay from the planning commis
sion, which recommended a $3500
appropriation to study tir.e pro
posal.
The council will have to in
clude the appropriation recom
mendation in its next budget
early next year.
The money will be used for
typographic surveys, preparation
of new deeds, replotting of land,
and engineering and legal work.
After such preparations are
made, the borough will advertise
for bids for the general contract,
the contract will be let, and ac
tual construction will then start;
Present plans are not advanced
fix enough to include an estimate
of the starting and completion
dates for construction of the park
way.

snow flurries. The maximum

The warmest temperature of
the holiday weekend was 43 de

Hall said it was his personal "pretty dangerous and certainly

For '56 Nomination
A Philadelphia columnist re
cently discounted any possibility
of Dr. Milton S. Eisenhower, pres

a 1956 presidential candidate.
Frank Brookhouser, of The Eve
ning Bulletin, said he had "secret
but reliable information" which
"indicates" that Dr. Eisenhower
would not accept the nomination
even if it were offered him.
Several' nationally known
columnists, including Roscoe
Drummond, have speculated that
Dr. Eisenhower could be the tra
ditional "dark-horse" candidate at
the Republican national conven

couple has formed a club to pro
mote him for the nomination.
Brookhouser based his opinion
that Dr. Eisenhower would refuse
the nomination on the speculation
that he has his hands full with
his present duties and, the colum
nist continued, "it therefore does
not seem to follow that he would
make himself available to a posi
