Traffic Counts: Fruits of Awareness The vehicular and pedestrian traffic counts planned for May 13 and 17 represent the fruits of the University's growing awareness of the traffic and parking problems that have in vaded the campus in recent years. The traffic counts are a part of the overall campus parking and traffic survey being con ducted under University auspices. Walter H. Wiegand, director of the Physical Plant, has said he believes the survey may result in an alleviation of the parking problem within two years and the development of a long range solution within five years. The plans for the survey have been in the works tor at least most of the past year. They originated in the University parking and traffic committee, headed by Wiegand. Calvin G. Reen. professor of civil engineer ing, who is directing the survey, teaches the University's traffic engineering courses. It was he who directed a similar campus survey six years ago in the spring of 1951. Reen is being assisted by a number of civil and architectural engineering professors. Twenty-eight automatic traffic counters from the State Hiehwavs Department will be used Why T ommy T ucker ? The Senior Ball, climaxing Spring Week events, this year will feature Tommy Tucker and his orchestra. Students have been question ing why Tucker, instead of a “big name” or chestra like Guy Lombardo or Sammy Kaye, was not selected. The weekend of May 3 is a big college week end all over the country and dance orchestras are in great demand. Because of this, the price of an engagement for most orchestras at this time increases by $5OO to $7OO. The Senior Ball, unlike the IFC-Panhel Ball, is not a money-making project (although IFC did lose money this year) and therefore is limited in expenses. A “big name” orchestra fo rthe Senior Ball would cost approximately $4OOO. Th*e senior class has $2500 to spend. Several months ago a committee of five sen iors began checking advertisements from New York agencies. It selected a number of orches tras within the price range and, in order of preference, requested them. If any of the orchestras are booked before the agencies receive the requests, the committee lias no alternative but to accept the first choice available. The selection of an orchestra for the Senior Ball is not one of “naming it and getting it.” It is limited by expenses, time and availability. —Judy Harkison Prof Receives Grant of $4500 Dr. Raymond Pepinsky, pro-i lessor of physics, has received a' $4500 fellowship grant from thej John Simon Guggenheim Memor ial Foundation. The fellowships are granted ta persons of unusual capacity for scholarly research, demonstrated | by the previous publication of contributions to knowledge of high merit, and io persons of proven creative ability in the line arts. The grants, which number 344 and in total amount to $1,500,000, are designed to assist fellows to advance to higher levels of ac complishment’ in their fields through carrying on the studies for which the fellowships are awarded. Dr. Pepinsky was cited for his studies of the crystal design of salts of complex and organic ions.

With this background of planning and ex perience, it would seem that the survey should provide an accurate reflection of the present problems. And unquestionably, if the survey results can be tabulated quickly enough, they should pro vide a relatively sound basis for the dealing with the present situation for several years to come. But no matter how accurately the survey results may reflect the University's parking and traffic picture, and no matter how quickly they are tabulated and correllaied, they are worthless without corresponding action on the part of the administration. The very fact that the University is sponsor ing the survey and is financially backing it carries, we believe, a corresponding obligation for it to act promptly and decisively on the survey’s findings, and to plan for the future to eliminate any recurrence—necessarily on a larger scale—of the present traffic and parking problems. Clean-Cut Carnival The majority of students participating in the Spring Carnival last night showed that they could be just as humorous with family-type shows as they could with off-color skits. Most of the booths we took in offered family entertainment. Only one booth was warned to change part of its show. We are not opposed io adult entertainment for adults. It has its time and its place. How ever, we feel that the carnival—since many small children attend, for one reason —is not the place for adult entertainment. Few of the shows would win entertainment awards, but most provided a few chuckles and some provided some good laughs. All of the shows demonstrated the enthusiasm of the per formers. Most of the fraternities, sororities and other groups participating in the • carnival deserve credit for keeping their entertainment at a family level.

STATE COLLEGE PEI MitorUh repreunt Ui< viewpoints of the writers, not neceissrilj the policy of the paper, the stadent body, or the University. the let of March t. 1879 —Bob Franklin —The Editor INSYLVANIA Little Man on Campus yjjv. * "One of Disney's boys—now will you , bluebook for tomorrow?" Interpreting the News United States Not On Brink of War Associated Press News Analyst The United States is not yet on the brink of war in the Middle East. Despite the talk by people not responsible for policy the American military potential and its possible uses, has been done merely establishes a political position. The State Department, in dis cussing the movement of the 6th Fleet to the eastern Mediterra nean, was very careful to let the act stand on its own. Offical statements said the United States was vitaUy interested in a stable Jordan. The fleet was a reminder of the power America could mus tei behind its vital interests in extremes. Through a combination of the warning, of King Hussein's firmness and surprising adroit ness, and of the trouble which \rab nationalist and Commun ist forces could see themselves getting into, the situation is belter than it was 10 days ago. Whether it will continue to improve, or whether Hussein has merely slowed the skid tempor arily, cannot be told now.’ -The last thing the United States can afford in the circumstances is to give any appearance of reck lessness. When Army Secretary Brucker says the United States can airlift troops to Jordan, and probably would do so in case of aggression by Egypt or Syria, it produces alarm. It keeps alive a fire which the State Department is trying to put out. When an officer with the fleet says the Marines were ready last week to shoot their way into any trouble spot if necessary, it can be read two . ways. First, such readiness is no more than the nation has come to expect of the Marines at cny moment. But taken as an indication that shooting was actually being contemplated last week, the impression goes far beyond the position of the State Department. Russia isn’t trying to make the Middle East a cockpit, for world war. She is trying to create as much chaos there as possible, in the hope that one.state after an other will slide into’ the turns of international communism. The United States is in the midst of a great campaign to win the confidence of the Arab states. She doesn’t want to fight them or anyone else, and she doesn’t want them to fall to the Communists. The United States is an old hand at conducting military po lice actions. She has done it in Latin America, China, Korea* WEDNESDAY. MAY 1. 1957 By J. M. ROBERTS the Barbary Coast, the Spanish Main and elsewhere. She doesn't want to get into it again. In any inflammatory' situation, where nobody knows what to morrow will bring, war is a word to be whispered, not shouted as-a threat. Patyk Named To Presidency Of Eng Group Daniel.
