Traffic Problem Needs
With the beginning of a new academic year
the Traffic Court. in conjunction with the office
Of the dean of men, has brought out its traffic
and parking regulations.
With the tremendous number of cars on the
campus the urgency of the campus parking
prot.lem needs no further exposition.
This beginning-of-the-year listing of traffic
regulations is designed to let the students know
the exact position which will be taken in the
future by Traffic Court and the dean of men's
office.
The major problem seems to be the refusal of
many students to realize that whoever they are,
or wherever they live, they must register their
automobiles with the University. This pertains
to students living downtown, students in down
town fraternities as well as fraternity men liv
ing on campus.
Another big fault with student drivers is
failure to display the registration sticker on the
windshield of the automobile. This sticker will
immediately tell Campus Patrol officers that
the car is registered with their offie. This will
undoubtedly save the student great expense.
Public Relations
An All-University Cabinet public relations
standing committee would be of little value in
helping to disseminate information on Cabinet
activities.
The Student Encampment workshop on mak
ing student government more effective recom
mended that such a committee be set up to
**coordinate and disseminate all student govern
ment information."
It seems improbable that students forming a
public - relations committee would have as deep
an interest in spreading student government as
the student government officers.
Publications and radio will give as much
space and time as they feel is warranted by the
business conducted by the student government
bodies. Contact by a public relations committee
will probably not help these groups in getting
more publicity, and might harm the present
system.
With duties on a public relations committee
students would probably not feel as strongly
about student government information, nor
understand it as well as the students who are
at present disseminating the information.
In all probability such a committee would
serve little purpose and would hang on for
several years before dying a slow death. An
other possibility is that the committee would
take a great deal of Cabinet time, both in the
setting up and the perpetuation.
We do not feel that such a committee would
be deserving of valuable Cabinet hours and hope
that it will not waste time attempting to make
a public relations committee a success.

Sign Out System Poor
The present system of signing out in the
women's dormitories could stand a practical re
vision.
As the system now stands coeds in signing
out for Friday and Saturday nights put down
only their names, times out and reasons. The
reasons are listed as only town, campus or date_
Inthe event that a coed must be contacted for
emergency reasons this information is for all
purposes worthless.
The situation could be simply remedied by
requiring coeds to fill in the space marked rea
son with name of the building on campus, place
in town or fraternity which they are planning
to attend that evening.
Several dormitory hostesses have already de
cided to install this system of signing out this
semester. It would be a good idea for all host
esses to employ this more efficient method of
signing out.

Cooperation
That is. assuming that $5 is considered a great
loss to most students.
The way many students make their first mis
take is by failing to report to the Campus' Pa
trol when they have been given a ticket. This
offense not only results in a $1 per violation
fine but it takes away the student's right to ap
peal his case to Traffic Court.
Also failure to report a violation does not
go very well with either the Patrol or the dean
of men's office and will likely lead to even
greater trouble than merely a monetary fine.
The parking situation on campus is not good.
However, steps are being taken to alleviate it.
These steps take time and cannot be accom
plished in a few . weeks. In the meantime more
and more students enroll here every year and
it is difficult to keep up with the increase. This
is why freshmen cars had to be banned.
The parking problem will not be helped one
bit by students griping or by their defiance
of University parking and traffic regulations. It
will be aided considerably, on the other hand,
by cooperation with Campus Patrol, Traffic
Court and the dean of men's office.
Don't Abolish Finals
Although All-University Cabinet may investi
gate the possibilities of eliminating finals for
eighth semester students we feel that they
should not give up the present practice of seniors
taking finals as well as all other students.
It was suggested by the workshop on making
student government more effective that Cabinet
should look into the educational standpoint of
eliminating finals for eighth semester seniors.
It is a credit to Student Encampment that feel
ings on the subject were aired, however it would
be a mistake to revise the present final system
in this regard.
It seems that the general opinion of students
who wish to abolish finals for seniors is that
this is a privilege and a boon.
We disagree. Finals for students of all semes
ters are given for their benefit: certainly not
for the benefit of the professor. Finals are help
ful as a part of the University system of educa
tion. They aid the• student by giving him an
indication of his general knowledge in one sub
ject. Certainly if a student does not want to
study or take finals no one will force him to
attend college.
Students who plan to study hard will prob
ably study whether finals are given or not. It
is the student who would try to abolish finals
who would be harmed the most by their lack.
He would probably study less for the course as
a result.
It would be unwise to abolish finals for stu
dents of any semester.
Here Comes Froth
A dark shadow is once again looming over
the Penn State scene. One of the most hideous
tortures freshmen will have to endure during
Customs will be this persistent menace to all
students. The new students especially will suf
fer since they are not hardened veterans.
This thing goes by several names; one of the
most-heard is Froth.
Yes, Froth is on the rampage again. During
Orientation Week agents of this infamous pub
lication were seen busily persuading unsuspect
ing frosh into buying subscriptions for an entire
year (gasp).
With the freshmen already in camp the Froth
board of strategists figure that those familiar
never-take-no-for-an-answer street salesmen
will spread the Presley-ed pages of Froth
throughout the remainder of the campus popu
lace.
- Thus the plan of battle is complete. Froth is
ready for another year's siege on the students at
Penn State. In past years it has been difficult
to escape. But everyone is urged to make a
maximum effort in avoiding this menace. •
There are places to hide. Not many. granted.
where the omnipresent sellers of Froth will not
search you out. But be original, find new places.
Head for Mount Nittany! Here comes Froth!

_Rice, Rice, More Rice
If someone were to ask me, I'd te/i hint

failure of our foreign aid pro
gram in Asia. It is of grave im
portance to the entire free world
that we find some new uses for
rice.
Our foreign aid program has
almost gone pfooey in Asia. It
has flopped because of rice—
or the lack of uses for rice.
It's like this:
Now, Russia needs rice. Its ag
ricultural production cannot feed
its people, but its industrial pro
duction seems to be providing
enough weapons. But that is be
, side the point.
Now the United States does
n't need any of Asia's rice. We
cannot even eat our own sur
pluses.
America's give-away foreign
aid program isn't too well liked
in foreign countries. You know
how it is. Nobody truly likes to
receive something for nothing.
You take something for nothing
and you feel obligated to the
giver.
And Asian people have pride
too, something I believe we for
get all too often when we talk
about foreign aid.
Well the Asians would like
to have our manufactured
goods instead of those from
Russia. But the whole problem
is that they want to give us rice
in return. And heck, rice is the
last thing we need.
IT Nu of Burma has signed a
pact with Russia which would
give the Reds 400,000 tons of rice
a year for the next four years
in return for $52 million in man
ufactured goods this year and $35
million worth each year for the
next three years.
Well, that's a lot of rice in
anybody's back yard.
Now the United States could
, have won Burma's friendship if
it had wanted 400,000 tons of rice
for the next four years:
But lice, Dulles, and even
Stevenson. don't want all this
rice. They would be laughed
out of the country if a New
York Times headline read:
"U.S. Buys 400.000 Tons of Rice
from Burma."
For the sake of the United
States, its foreign aid program,
and the free world, I am appeal
ing to all scientists to find some
new uses for rice.
