Shortlidge Problem Is Back! One of those seemingly age-old topics which have the habit of re-appearing periodically has once again come to the attention of All-Univers ity Cabinet. However, the proposal to have one-way traf fic on Shortlidge Rd. on Friday and Saturday nights has some travelling to do before it is put into effect. This is one of those "continuing issues" which always spring before the attention of the stu dents every few years if not every year. Cabinet received the proposal as part of the parking and traffic report of the Sophomore Class Advisory Board and seemed to be happy with the idea, although they postponed action on it until a later date. We are convinced that the idea is a good one. The Sophomore Class Advisory Board has de signed a plan which we feel is a solution to a bad problem. The traffic congestion—no one needs to be told—is nothing short of a circus on Friday and Saturday nights. Competition to get up and down Shortlidge Rd. is fierce and results in quite a few dented fenders, screeching brakes, and epithets hurled from automobile to auto mobile. We aren't trying to convince anyone that the weeekend traffic jams do not merit action of some sort. Everyone, including the Camp Pa trol and the Physical Plant concedes that the IFC-Panhel Sing The Interfraternity Council-Panhellenic tro phies loom ahead as great incentive for fraterni ties and sororities. Tonight and tomorrow night the Interfratern ity Council and Panhellenic Council will hold their annual sing in which any fraternity or sorority can compete for a trophy. Most of the academic year is spent by fraterni ties working for one trophy or another, but this one has a little more prestige than most. Why? Because it is representative of a large partici pation and of weeks and weeks of work on the part of each group. The sing trophy is one of the most repre sentative of group spirit, A sing is a real test of a group's ability to work together as a group and not as individuals. Unity and harmony are musical expressions of the feeling within the group. Competition will be keen for the much coveted trophy when the sororities and fraternities fill Schwab Auditorium tonight. Student who have sung in previous competitions will agree that Schwab will be a great improvement over the cramped conditions in Electrical - Engineering. in past years the groups have been considerably hampered by a small stage, a small room for the audience, and narrow passageways which Made it difficult for the groups to get in and out. Several students have complained about the night when the sororities will be singing. Some have said that it conflicts with bluebooks be- COLLEGIAN BUSINESS CANDIDATES. 7 p.m.. 316 Spark.

STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA situation is a troublesome one But what to do about it? -Two years ago Cabinet passed a recommenda tion to make Shortlidge Rd one-way (downhill) and thought they had a pretty good plan until the Physical Plant squashed it by declaring the plan, "unfeasible." The reasons given were that the rule would not be obeyed by student drivers, and that it would only add to the already-existing con fusion. Two flimsy reasons at best. Why this hasn't been brought before the at tention of Cabinet before this, we can't under stand. Sometimes we think-that the idea men must be a little hard-pressed, judging by the projects which come up for consideration. This one seemed a natural. The parking report of the Sophomore class advisory board has yet to be acted upon by Cabinet. When it is complete it will be taken to the Physical Plant. Perhaps some things have changed in relation to this situation in the last two years. This may mean that Physical Plant will have some very good reasons for nixing the plan. However, if the reasons are the same as two years ago, we can see no reason for not putting she plan (including the provision for another road from the Grange parking lot) into effect so that one of the major traffic problems on campus may be eliminated. cause it is almost exactly in the middle of 'the semester. Others have complained because a music 5 bluebook is being given that night. These inconveniences could happen on any night the committee might choose. Not every one can find a convenient night. It does not take very long to sing two songs, so perhaps not very many students will fail bluebooks be cause of the IFC sing after all. There has alto been criticism of the song which was picked for the sororities to sing— " Moments to Remember." We must admit that the song has little positive value for a sing competition. We feel fortunate that we do not have to judge the sing and listen to the song about 20 times. The fact that all of the sororities will be singing the same night and all the fraternities the other night is an improvement to the sing. Last year there were many hard feelings be cause two sororities and two fraternities were picked as finalists on each of the two nights of the preliminaries. Many people pointed out that the third best sorority could be eliminated from the finals if it sang on the same night as the first two. With all the sororities and fraternities singing on separate nights the judges will be better able to compare them with each other and pick the top four for the finals. We hope that a spirit of cooperative compe tition prevails at the sing—thus bringing closer and better relations between IFC and Panhel. —Sue Conklin WSGA JUDICIAL .BOARD. old and new members. 6 p.m..

Hop-scotchin' the exchange pa pers we receive in the Collegian office, I came across several tips which may be helpful for the im aginative dormitory chefs. The tips are the result of a re cent fete which Wake Forest stu dents attended at the home of their German instructor. According to this German gour met enthusiast, his menu was in strict agreement with those of the fashionable New York society set. Included in the "feast" were french fried worms, fried grass hoppers and octopus meat. In case the dormitory dieticians decide to replace the now all-time popular liver meal with any of these tasty tidbits, I suggest these helpful hints mentioned by the German connoisseur. •Always" serve both the worms and grasshoppers with saltines. *When buying, select only those delicacies imported from Japan and Mexico. •Be sure you purchase the long, thin variety of agave worms. • If the menu includes grasshop pers, they should be served com plete with heads, eyes, legs and THE CARTER OIL COMPANY RESEARCH LABORATORY TULSA, OKLAHOMA Affiliate of Standard Oil Company (NJ.)
