PAGE TWO Mackey Blames Borough Officials For Inadequate Parking Facilities Burgess David R. Mackey has put most of the blame for inadequate parking facilities in State College on borough officials. Mackey said, however, that "there are indications we might get something in the downtown area" to relieve the situation. lie did not elaborate. tic• said the proper borough officials have just failed to take the initiative in pro viding inunit:ipal off-street parking either downtown or in the surrounding heavily popu lated areas.

Univzysity Cow Gains Fame Because of Stomach Window By ROG ALEXANDER In this modern age bf atoms, robots, and automatic dish washers, very few people think anymore about that common milk provider, the cow. However, there was a time when a certain cow on the Uni versity farms was an interna tional celebrity. People flocked to the University from all over the world just to glance at Penstate For Jessie was the first cow in the world to have a custom built window attached to her sto mach. This opening permitted ob servations of the functions the largest of Jessie's four stomaches, Samuel I. Bechdel, head of the animal husbandry department, proposed the operation in 1925 to prove the animal's ability to arti ficially produce vitamin It com plex. The operation was performed by John F. Shigley, University veterinarian, in 116. A hole, ap proximately five inches in dia meter. was cut ia. Jessie's side, he said, "would take the initi parking) could be done in six months." Mackey feels the borough should not be expected to carry the entire financial burden. In explaining the borough's policy on traffic tickets, he said the "number of dismissed tickets is just nil." Ile pointed out that he just paid a parking fine several months ago. Just this week a married student living downtown came into Mack ey's office in the Municipal Building to try to get two traffic tickets "fixed." Mackey explained to him that all persons are treated equally and that tickets will be torn up only if they are caused by emer gencies. "An automobile is just like a wife—you've got to take care of it," he told the students whose two tickets, which totaled $l4, were gotten on the same day. Mackey did, however, give the student alt the time he could un der the law to pay the fines. Explaining how students fit in to borough laws, Mackey said he considers everyon e—including students—who live in State Col lege a citizen of the borough. Responsibilities as well as rights and privileges go along with this citizenship, Mackey said. State College, which hasn't had a traffic fatality since 1948, "must have a good angel somewhere" who is keeping watch over it, he said, He said that strict enforcement of traffic violations is one of the reasons for this record. The most prevalent traffic of fenses, according to Mackey, are driving too fast for conditions, reckless driving, parking too close to intersections, stop signs, and fire plugs. W3YA to Sponsor First Code Class The first code class, sponsored by the staff of W3YA; campus amateur radio station, will be held at 7 p.m. Monday in 219 Electrical Engineering.

Those interested may still enroll at the first dais meeting. and after the wall of the stomach and outside skin had grown to gether,. a rubber tube was in serted. It was fitted with a stop per to permit scientists to observe what was going on inside the cow's stomach and to remove samples for analysis. Ear from resenting this intru sion on her gastric privacy, Jessie was proud of the window and the attention it brought her. Indi rectly it brought about her death, for she died of a broken heart after she had incorrectly inter preted her removal to a remote stall in the dairy barns as evi dence of her waning popularity In the tests which won Jessie lasting fame, she had proven that all cows synthetically manufac ture vitamin B complex, even when that valuable substance is withheld from their dinner pail. Jessie was a true scientist. Not even her picture in Ripley's "Be lieve it or Not" column turned her away horn the experimental program.. Her patience - was in exhaustable,' her courage never daunted. Day after day for almost five THE DAILY COLLEGIAN STATE COLLEGE PENNSYLVANIA ative, it (municipal off-street TIM to Back UCA Committee Housing Probe Town Independent Men pledged active support to aid a University Christian Association Housing Committee to investigate th e problem of segregation in down town rooming houses. Speaking at a meeting of TIM last week, Miss Gertrude Winzen burger, graduate student in Ger man from Rochester, N.Y. out lined the problem faced by for eign and Negro students seeking rooming houses. No Segregation Laws Although rooming house forms in the Dean of Men's office list no written stipulation against ac cepting Negro or foreign student as roomers, unwritten discrimi nation exists, she said. Many such students applying for rooms, she said are told when owners don't want foreign or Ne gro students. The whole situation is very embarrassing and discouraging to students who experience this, Miss Winzenburger said. House Inspection As a remedy, she suggested a house to house inspection of bor ough rooming houses to determine which owners would admit for eign and Negro students. Miss Winzenburger said she is seeking the aid of student organ izations to help the committee conduct the investigations. Robert Cole, TIM president, said that TIM would delegate , members to work with Miss Win zenburger to check the rooming' houses. The problems will be brought before the Council of Churches within a week or two.

Jessie always used the trial and error method in her experiments. Jessie didn't suffer in the least from the operation, nor did her appetite. She even ate a whole sheaf of records that an attendant left near her one day. But no attempt was made to recover them through the window. Jessie's demise spoiled a bit of research which was destined to revolutionize existing theories on the subject of cellulose fermenta tion. During the cellulose tests in 1931. it was decided to move her to a quiet stall, away from the hubbub of the main barns. Jessie had never before been temper mental, but losing her plate of honor was more than she could bear. Her big brown eyes became tearful, her appetite waned, and she died. Many people felt that the soli tude had been too much fee Jes sie. There just wasn't anyone sbe could tell about her operation. AFROTC May Coed Training University, women may soon have the opportunity to wear Air Force blue. So says a report in the Air Force Times. The Women's Air Force is short on junior officers.

Pending legislation to open the advanced AFROTC program to college women awaits only one or two signatures for official Air Force sanction. Women taking the advance course would be known as "ca dettes." "Cadettes" will receive official military status. Such a status would include subsistence allowances, uniforms, and summer camp. As in the reg ular Air Force, women officers would be subject to salute by both basic and advanced male ROTC members of all branches. Summer camps would be be tween the junior and senior years. A three year tour of active duty is planned upon graduation for "cadettes" completing the four year course. New York University has en rolled its first female student in the Air Force ROTC basic pro gram. Miss Wanda Bartos, junior in pre-law at Washington Square College, or NYU, plans to be an aviation lawyer. Women are also enrolled at sev eral colleges and universities. Under the present law, women may take the Air Force basic and advanced program but do not re ceive credit toward an officer's commission. The WAFROTC plan is part of the Air Force drive to increase WAF officers. Other methods planned are direct appointment and officer candidate school. Only four women were chosen in the latest officers candidate school selections. Women graduates in the AF ROTC program would be junior officers with the rank of lieuten ant. At present the' WAF lacks junior officers. Total officer strength, regular and junior, is below the required 1023.
