To Meet Girl They explained that they had taken the bicycle from the front of a house on Heister St. so they could get to Thompson Hall before .1 a.m. to meet a girl friend of one of the students. The, girl had a date, but had agreed to the meet ing. They arrived at Thompson too late to meet the girl, and on the way back to town had a minor accident with the bicycle. They were apprehended by police near the Kappa Sigma house on Bea ver Ave. for operating a bicycle without proper lighting. When the police found that the bicycle did not belong to the students, they forced them to re turn it to the owner and pay the estimated damages, amounting to $4. Meant to Return Bike The students told the police they fully intended to return the bicycle, but were apprehended before they had a chance. They also said that, though the beer they consumed might have affected their judgment, they were in control of their actions when they took the bicycle. One - of the students had ap peared before disciplinary com mittee, prior to this incident, at which time he was given a de ferred suspension. When a stu r dent is given a deferred suspen sion, he may be suspended direct ly by the office of the dean of men in case of further disciplin ary violations.

The Nittany Lion, however, was nowhere to be-seen. A check revealed that the Lion decided yesterday that best things always come last, and therefore, he would post his automobile at the end of the Armed Forces Day parade, giv ing his public the- ultimate thrill. : As he followed the parade in front of him, however, an ag riculture student leaving for an inspection of the dairy bams pulled out from the curb. Think ing that the student was the next car .of. the parade, the Lion fol lowed him. He was quite startled] when upon reaching the destina |tion of the “parade” he was greet led by a rather .sad-eyed cow. | (EnUegxan Cabinet to Send 4 To NSA Conclave Editorial 0:1 Page Four All-University Cabinet last night voted 12 to 9 to send four delegates to this summer’s National Student Association congress. Cabinet took the action after hearing pleas for repre sentation at the congress from Leonard Richards, former All-University secretary-t rea s urer; Barbara Hendel, former NSA regional chairman; and Su san Hill, former president of Home' Economics Student Council. After debate which lasted more than an hour, a roll call was taken on the 4 delegate motion, which was introduced by Robert Nurock, president of Liberal Arts Student i Council. Will Allot $434 Cabinet also voted to allot $434 to pay the delegates’ expenses. This appropriation must also be approved at next week’s meeting before it can be made. The question of whether to send delegates was first brought up at last week’s Cabinet meeting. Cab inet then defeated two separate proposals for representation at the congress, to be held in Ann Ar bor, Mich. In his talk to Cabinet, Richards urged that delegates be sent. He said: “There comes a point when a person has to look be yond his own local situation . . . NS A can play a role in the life of students in general by bring ing out thought and action on a plane not only in the University but also on a plane above and be yond the University.” Gives NSA's Purpose He called the primary intention of NSA “solely political,” and said that the congress goes over policies which represent the feel ings of students of the country. Problems affecting students in other parts of the world also in volve us here, Richards said. He concluded his speech with "the plea of us old timers: take a good look first before you leap.” Joseph Boehret, All-University secretary-treasurer, in speaking against Nurock’s motion, said Cabinet would be making “a very unwise move” in sending the four delegates. The delegates, he said, would be giving at congress the opinions of four individuals only, not the opinion of All-University Cab inet, because Cabinet has not dis cussed the issues which will come (Continued on page eight) Traffic Survey Work Will Close Today The field work of the campus parking and traffic survey will end today with pedestrian counts at 25 stations. One hundred ten students, civil engineering faculty mem bers and employes of the Department of Physical Plant are participating in the tabulations, which began at 7:30 this morning and will continue until 5:30 tonight. Five of the stations, which are located at College and Allen streets, Burrowes and Pollock roads, Pollock and Shortlidge roads. Pollock road and the Mall and Pollock road west of the Het zel Union Building, will continue operating throughout the day. Thirty counters will work at these stations alone. .Tallies will be taken at the peak hours of 7:45 to 8:15 a.m., 8:45 to 9:15 a.m., 11:30 a.m. to 12:15 p.m., 12:45 to 1:15 p.m. and 4:45 to s:3Qp.m. Class Makes Counts Eight seniors from Civil Engi neering 423, a class, in traffic en gineering, have been making spot counts of both pedestrian and ve hicular traffic during the spring to supplement the regular counts. Calvin G. Reen, professor of civil engineering and director of the survey, said the amount and Why Waste Students' Money? See Page 4 State Delays Budget Talk For 1 Week The possibilty of action on the University’s 1957-1958 budget was postponed yesterday until at least Wednesday because of a Senate decision to adjourn June 15 in stead of June 2 or 8. The House, thinking the Senate would adjourn either June 2 or 8, wanted to act on the present bud get measures in time to get it to the upper chamber for their action. But in the face of the Senate’s decision, the House “decided there was no sense sitting up all night to get the bills ready by Thursday (yesterday) inasmuch as they (the Senate) stretched ad journment by a week,” House Majority Leader Albert W. John son said. 35 Budgets Scheduled There was a good chance’the University’s budget was among the 35 budgets scheduled for pre sentation yesterday by the House Appropriations Committee, since Norman Wood (R.-Lancaster), chairman of the committee, had predicted some time ago that it would come up around the mid dle of May. Both houses will return to their duties Wednesday after a 2-day recess for primary elec tions. It is expected that the bud get proposals will be presented to the House then. • Upped by Wood When the University’s budget request wen' into the Appropria tions Committee it was set at $33,849,000 by Wood, short of President Eric A. Walker’s re quested $33.5 million figure, but (Continued on page eight) placement of heavy pedestrian traffic would be determined from today’s counts. The survey report will contain appropri ate recommendations such as added walks or separation of pedestrian and vehicular traf fic, he said. Totals to Be Available Reen said the results of the vehicular traffic counts held Monday were being tabulated by members of the traffic engineer ing class. The results of the vehicular counts may be available the early part of next week, he said. These will include only the totals of the various stations with no anal ysis. The final survey report will be submitted to the University ad ministration by September 1* Reen said. FIVE CENTS
