They made it clear that they

that the way could be paved to
bring up revisions.
In the discussion preceding the
vote, Katherine Dickson, vice
president, spoke against the
court’s retention, saying that she
saw no sense in keeping it and
*had heard no feasible plan for
revision.
Scholl Speaks Against Court
Nancy Scholl, senior in educa
tion ' from • Glenshaw, supported
Miss Dickinson’s stand, saying the
Supreme Court had- only been
called upon to try two cases last
year and that the only reason for
the initiation of the court seemed
to' be the wish to follow the na
tional system.- -
David Faust, junior in educa

he felt the Supreme Court was
a necessary part of student gov
ernment.
Court Now 'lnadequate'
~He - said that although -he
. thought the court was inadequate
- at present, -it : would be less trou

by Cabinet.

Support for the abolishment of

In. other business, a recom

' Several representatives criti

that one week is too long for a
rushee to answer a bid. One mem

time limit should be set.
Bidding Rules
, Another suggestion was that all
sororities should send out'bids at
the same time.
‘Council members agreed that
the present rules for bidding are
poor because they force sororities
to continue’ .rushing coeds after
bids are ‘sent out : this Friday.
Some sororities will be able to fill
their quota on the first bidding.
This, they felt, is also unfair to
rushees.
Recommendations will be pro

Khrushchev Lifts Pressure;
Accepts New Polish Policies
WARSAW, Oct. 23 (ff)
Nikita Khrushchev has lifted
the Soviet - military. pressure
from rebellious Poland and
accepted most of the new
Polish socialism-with-freedom
policy, reliable sources reported
tonight.
The sources said Soviet troop
concentrations built up in central
Poland during the crisis are dis
persing. A Russian naval squad
ron sighted off Poland’s Baltic
coast has withdrawn.
Relations Improved
An authoritative source said
Polish-Soviet relations improved
dramatically this afternoon with

FOR A BETTER PENN STATE
University to Allow
Emergency Parking
The administration has agreed to permit a “reasonable” emergency on-campus
parking plan for student “hardship cases,” f such a program can be formulated.
Walter H. Wiegand, director of the physical plant, said yesterday the plan would
involve use of the old vegetable gardens near the Agricultural Engineering Building.
Students who cannot'find a place to park downtown would be permitted to use the plots
on a short-term basis, he said.
Parking. Ban
A 2 to 6 a.m. borough parking
ban will go into effect in the fra
ternity area next Thursday. The
ban is now in effect throughout
the rest of the borough.
Wiegand said he intends to meet
with reoresentatives of the fra
ternity and independent men
soon to work out details of the
plan to use the vegetable gardens.
The program was proposed
Thursday at a meeting of the
Borough Traffic Commission, at
which it was suggested that the
Campus Patrol issue one-month
! emergency parking stickers for
the area to persons who could
find no place to park in town.
For Football Games.
The gardens have previously
been used to hold the overflow
of cars at football games. Con
struction of men’s dormitories on
the area is scheduled to begin in
the near future, Wiegand said.
Wiegand said at Thursday’s
traffic ccmmission meeting that
students may park their cars
overnight without vesU-ictions on
University lots. Parking assign
ments are not in force from 5 p.m.
to 7:30 a.m.. he said.
Enforcement of the parking
ban in the fraternity area was de
layed by borough officials until
Nov. 1 to give students time to
find other parking facilities.
Ban Delayed
The ban was originally sched
uled to go into effect when the
“No Parking, 2 a.m. to 6 a.m.”
signs were erected during the
summer. The signs were erected
on one side of borough streets and
signs banning parking at any time
were erected on the other side.
Although Borough Manager
Robert Y. Edwards talked with
fraternities and their alumni in
1954 about some type of a solu
tion to parking problems, he and
Burgess David R. Mackey agreed
to the moratorium on the ban be
cause student leaders had not
been informed last year of its im
minence.
However, it was specified that
no extension of the moratorium
would be granted.
University Will Get
Traffic Survey Data
A State Highways Department survey which may be in
the hands of University officials, next week shows that the
campus parking problem is one of distribution—rather than
a lack of—parking spaces, a department engineer said last
night.
George Britton, of the department’s highway planning
division, told a group of towns-, '
people and students hearing i • ■ ■

Political Debate
Prospects Dim
The outlook for a debate on
campus between Joseph Clark,
the Democratic candidate for U S.
Senator, and the present junior
senator from Pennsylvania, Re
publican James Duff, is dimming.
The Young Republican Club and
the Young Democrat Club had
tried to schedule this debate for
the beginning of October. Such a
debate would be of national in
terest.
But Clark, who had indicated
earlier that he would debate with
Duff, doubts that his schedule
will permit this engagement.
Duff informed both the Young
Republicans and "h'oung Demo
crats that he has handed their-re
quests to William Bonseil of the
Republican state committee.
No additional infot nation was
received from either man.
