uii)p ®atia @ oinii VOL. 57. No. 27 Wiegand Will Seek OK For Emergency Parking The Borough Traffic Commission yesterday took no ac tion toward mitigating the 2 to 6 a.m. parking ban, but Walter H. Wiegand, University physical plant director, said he in tends to ask the administration's approval for emergency on-campus parking.

The ban is already in force in all areas of the borough except the general fraternity section. Died Without Vote 24 Scientists Urge- Study On H-Bomb ST. LOUIS, Oct. 18 (JP) Twenty-four 1 Washington Univer sity scientists, describing the out look as alarming, today urged studies to determine what effect continued hydrogen bomb tests might have on mankind. The scientists issued a state ment saying the most important decisions on the nation’s atomic policy during the past 14 years have been made “in a vaccum of public information.” Want Clear Positions They called for both parties to clearly state their positions on Hie issues raised by the proposal of Adlai Stevenson, the Democratic presidential nominee, that Amer ica take the lead in trying to ob tain an East-West agreement on halting further H-bomb tests. The scientists, who said they were speaking as individuals, said “The tests already have burdened the upper atmosphere with radio active materials which continue to fall on the earth, contaminate our food and become incorporated in to human organs.” Insufficient Data Now “There are at present insuffi cient data to permit an absolute conclusion on the danger in con tinued accumulation of such radio activity to ourselves and to future generations,” the statement said. : “The outlook is, however, alarm ing. The situation calls for inten sive scientific study and public discussion.” - The scientists said a technically valuable test of a superbomb could not escape detection by seis mic or .radiological monitoring thus the problem of universal in spection, on which atomic disar mament negotiations have stalled, they said “could be safely circum vented in the case of superweap ons.” Fair Weather Again Forecast Fair and warm weather is again predicted for this area, according to meteorology - v students at the "University. ; The storm cen ter which yester day brought rain to most of the State, is expect ed to pass over Centre County again today. : The thermom eter ' reading is expected to go into the 80’s today and drop to around 50 degrees tonight. ’• Yesterday’s high was 76 with an overnight low of 47 degrees. Chemistry Classes Will Be Televised Experimental television facili ties in Osmond will be used to broadcast demonstrations in Chemistry 1 beginning Monday. - Because of a large increase in the number of students taking the course this semester the chemis try department requested that parts, of the classes be televised. ' Four professors "and 1400 stu dents will view the telecasts a total of 14 hours a week. STATE COLLEGE. PA.. FRIDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 19. 1956 A move by John H. Frizzell,' professor emeritus of public' speech, to extend the moratorium; on enforcement of the ban in thei fraternity section died without a; vote. The commission has advisory I power only. j Edwards, who also attended the meeting, said he believes any fur-j ther delay in enforcement would; “just postpone the development; of off-street parking.” Daniel Land, president of the Interfraiernity Council, and Lash Howes,-president of the Associa tion of Independent Men, pre sented the case for action to les sen the.ban at the 1%-hour ses sion. Wiegand said he believes park ing wouid be available on the old vegetable gardens on Park avenue behind the Creamery. It was suggested that the Cam pus Patrol issue one-month emer gency parking stickers for the area to persons who could find no place in. town to park. The construction of new dormi tories for men on the gardens is expected to begin in eight or nine months. The beds have previously been used to hold the overflow of cars at football games. Wiegand also said students may park their cars overnight with out restrictions on University lots. Parking assignments are not in force from 5 p.m. to 7:30 a.m., he said. Must Crack Down In urging the council to ex tend the moratorium on the ban, Frizzell said he believes that “to crack down on Nov. 1 will do no good.” And that such action would limit the efforts of fraternity and independent men alike in search ing for a solution to the parking problem. He said the borough would “not be backing down one bit” in at taining its goal, and urged further time for study of the situation by the commission and the affected groups. Edwards said he believes the fraternities and independent stu dents are “just sitting back wait ing to see what will happen” in relation to the ban. 2000 Change Schedules With Drop>Add Courses Approximately 2000 students changed their schedules by drop ping or adding courses or by per forming a combination of both. Approximately 2500 courses were added, while between 3700 and 3800 courses were dropped. 3 More Votes Needed to Kill Court It looks as if All-University Cabinet will retain a Supreme Court unless three members change their stands before the final vote in two weeks. The amendment in the Consti tutional revision eliminating the judicial body was supported by a 13-11 vote. However, a two-thirds nfcjority is necessary before it is officially passed. Last night was the first lime the revision containing the court elimination was present ed. The entire revision must be read and approved by Cabinet at three consecutive meetings— by a ' one-half majority at the first two votings and. at the third and final time, a two- FOR A BETTER PENN STATE Cabinet Executive Session Draws Attack From Simes Amidst heated debate, All-University Cabinet went into executive session at 9:10 last night to discuss a proposal by Lion party clique chairman Byron LeVan asking the resignation of Elections Committee Chairman William Johnson. Students and the press are prohibited trom a Cabinet executive session. Discussion on the virtues of the executive session started after Cabinet said it would | decide on LeVan's proposal at an ! executive session. I Dean of Men Frank J. Simes. ex-officio member of the group, told Cabinet he was against too liberal use of these sessions since they prohibit students and the press from scrutinizing stu dent government. Last night's session was the fifth this year. In addition, he said, he did not feel Cabinet should take LeVan’s request into such a session be cause students have a right to know what their officials are —Daily Collegian Photo bj Harry Furmingtr IT'S NOT as easy as it looks, student flash-card participants found out in their first practice last night at Beaver Field.

Collegian Police Reporter Scoops Own 'Big Story' Collegian reporters, especially police reporters, covering their beats run into many interesting things in the course of a day’s work. However, seldom do they ever have things run into them ».. especially two and a half ton trucks. Yesterday was one of those days when the unusual became a reality. . Chuck Di Rocco, a staff junior board reporter on The Daily'Col legian, was covering his police beat in downtown State College when he became the subject of his search. The scene of the accident which involved two cars and a 2Vi ton truck was on E. College avenue across from the new home man agement buildings. The now accordian-shaped car driven by Di Rocco was at a standstill when the truck owned by the Huntingdon Grocery Co., Inc., and driven by David Morn ingstar, Huntingdon, collided in •to its rear.

Howes and Land, opposing the court, rebutted a proposed plan i for court revision offered by Jo jseph Hartnett, senior class presi dent. "I think Cabinet can handle its own problems but my senior class advisory board feels we should retain Supreme Court." Hartnett told Cabinet before presenting the revised plan.

Damages to Di Rocco’s car were estimated at $400; the left front headlight of Smith’s car was broken; and the truck had minor damages to the front and rear bumper. No one was hurt; however, the reporter was considerably shaken up. One of the policemen called to the scene of. the accident said to the police reporter; “I’ll be look ing for this in the Collegian to morrow.” cases appealed to University Sen ate, with the exception of those involving severe disciplinary ac tion. Hartnett said the proposed court would tentatively have have nine members, who would first be screened by Cabinet and secondly by a committee composed of the Dean of Men, Dean of Women, and past chair man of Judicial. Tribunal and Supreme Court. Land said that at the present time Tribunal and Judicial, with the exception of women’s drink ing _cases, have only the power to recommend penalties and do jnot hold final jurisdiction. All cases on the Tribunal record, he continued, go to the Dean of Men, and then, in the case of probation I (Continued on page Jive) Food Service See Page 4 doing. All-University President Robert Bahrenburg explained the pur pose of tne sessions to Simes, say ing they are informal meetings at which Cabinet members- criticize themselves to aid self-improve ment. However. Simes persisted, saying a session is fair when Cabinet members are only going to criticize themselves, but not when another student official has been criticized. As an analogy, Senior Class President Joseph Hartnett said the University prohibits students from its meetings when they feel an official’s reputation may be at stake. Simes answered saying he knew of no student who is a member of a University com mittee who was ever from attending a meeting. Following debate, Cabinet mem bers voted to uphold Bahrenburg’s decision to take the Johnson ques tion into executive session after the president had asked for a group decision.
