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

tends to ask the administration's approval for emergency
on-campus parking.
If no further action is taken, the ban will go into effect
Nov. 1, with enforcement under
the direction of Burgess David R.
Mackey and' Borough Manager
Robert Y. Edwards. The ban is

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

predicted for this area, according

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.

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

court elimination was present

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

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

Debate on the court drew hard
hitting oratory from Lash Howes,
Association of Independent .Men
president, and Daniel Land, In
terfraternity Council president.
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.
The advisory boards revision
extended the powers of Supreme
Court to appellate jurisdiction
over Judicial and Tribunal in ad-!

The second car involved oper

dairy science from Elverson,
crashed into the back end of the
truck.
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

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,

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.
Route 322 By-Pass
For State College
To Be.lnvestigated
The State Highways Depart
ment is planning a study to in
vestigate a possible route 322 by
pass at State College.
Secretary of Highways Joseph
J. Lawler announced the study in
Harrisburg yesterday, but would
not disclose details of the plan at
this time.
The subject of a bypass came
up yesterday when a delegation
from Lew istown visited Lawler
to discuss improvements from
Harrisburg northward.
He mentioned (Re State Col
lege bypass and cited as one rea
son for the study, a statement
that the present highway system
in Centre County “can’t accom
modate the number of vehicles
using the road on the weekend
of big football games at Penn
State.”
Executive Secretary Eugene M.
Fullmer, pointing out that the
State College Chamber of Com
merce has expressed interest in
route 322 improvements in the
past, said the Chamber decided
not to attend yesterday's session
until it had more opportunity to
review specifically the details of
the proposals.
