Behind Campus Parkin
Long-Range Plan Seen
Possible in Five Years
The University—possibly aided by a complete automobile-pedestrian survey—may
be able to take steps resulting in the alleviation of the campus parking problem within
two years and the development of a sound long-range plan within five years.
Walter H. Wiegand, director of the physical plant, yesterday said feasible projects
which may alleviate prevailing parking conditions are now under the study of the Uni-

Information
On Persia
Peter Persia, owner of Persia's
Men Shop on S. Allen St., will
face charges of disorderly conduct
at 9:30 a.m. tomorrow at a hear
ing before Justice of the Psace
Guy G. Mills of State College.
The charges were filed by Ro
bert Daneker, freshman in chem
ical engineering from Williams
port. Daneker said Persia slapped
him across the face Thursday
night.
Daneker gave the following ac
count of the incident:
Three other students and he
went to Persia's store Thursday
night, and Daneker decided to
wait outside.
The three students re-appeared
shortly, followed by Persia, who
apparently ordered them out of
the store, Daneker said. For some
reason Persia began arguing with
him, he said.
Persia .called him a "big goon"
and told him if he said another
word he would hit him, Daneker
said. The conversation ended and
the four students began to walk
away, he said.
Daneker said he called back
over his shoulder that Persia bet
ter watch himself or he'd get into
trouble. Persia walked over to
him, took off his glasses and
slapped him, Daneker said.
Persia last night refused to
comment.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA
Third of a Series
versity's six-man traffic commit
tee. Concerning the proposed sur
vey, he said:
"Consideration is being given
by the administration to conduct
ing a comprehensive traffic, park
ing and pedestrian traffic survey
in the light of making recom
mendations toward solving the
problem."
Wiegand said he believes the
campus parking problem is basic
ally one of "keeping abreast of a
growing need." He said students
in the future will probably have
to walk farther from their park
ing areas than they do now be
cause of the growing demand for
parking.
Peripheral Plan Possible
Wiegand called peripheral park
ing—the placing of little-used cars
on the outskirts of the campus—
a possibility, one to be considered
by the traffic committee.
In the event that such a plan is
adopted, he said, the University
would give consideration to pro
viding transportation to the cen
tral part of the campus' for
peripheral parkers.
But he said such a project
would present "a real problem"
because of the peak 8 a.m. and
5 p.m. rush periods with com
paratively little businesz at other
times.
Sees No Further Bans
Wiegand also said he has "no
knowledge" of any proposals to
extend the ban on freshmen's
cars to other classes. Such a plan
has been called an alternative to
peripheral parking.
George Britton. a State High
ways Department engineer who
worked on the department's re
port of its 1954 campus parking
survey, said he believed a periph
eral parking plan is "probably
feasible." He said: "I don't think
your solution can ever be a ban
on cars."
Cites Fallacies in Method
The 1954 survey was conducted
in conjunction with a similar sur
vey of the parking problem in the
borough. The report said the cam
pus problem was one of distribu
tion, rather than a lack of spaces.
Wiegand said there were three
falacies in the methods by which
the campus survey was conducted:
I. Spaces on campus are not
unrestricted as the survey ap
peared to indicate; the first per
son to arrive at a parking spot
may not necessarily use that
space.
2. The survey covered the hours
of noon to 1 p.m. and 5 to 6 p.m..
when there is no great demand
for parking.
3. The survey included some
spaces not used for University
parking.
Borough Police Probe
Paint-Throwing Incident
Borough police are investigat
ing several complaints of paint
throwing occurring over the week
end.
Police reported that paint was
thrown on a car parked in a
fraternity lot and that seven or
eight traffic signs were smeared
with paint.
