Plans to Save
The State College Parking Authority yes
Gentzel which would have allowed the use of
Pi Lambda Phi fraternity members.
He first offered to continue, for five years,
to the house now occupied by the fraternity
whatsoever to the borough or the
authority.
Gentzel then offered-as an alter
native, a proposal that the author
ity should rent the parking lot for
$350 a month. The authority could
then install meters and run the
lot, according to Gentzel.
He said he also would be
willing to lease the present
PiLam house to the authority if
they made other suitable ar
rangements with the fraternity.
' He • said he took into consider
ation in asking for this arrange
ment the facts that University
authorities “are very anxious that
this house be maintained as a fra
ternity house and that the fra
ternity itself is anxious that addi
tional changes be made so that its
facilities are increased.”
In a public statement, Gentzel
claimed that the borough, after
faking over his property, would
make the lot available to only
'3O cars, a decrease of halt-the
number of present spots.
. The authority said the 30 car
estimate that'Gentzel referred to
was that of a private parking lot
equipment salesman and that the
authority had figured on room for
about 60 cars.-
Gentzel pointed to a provision
of the Parking Authority Law of
Pennsylvania calling for authori
ties to cooperate with all existing
Jparking facilities, “so that private
enterprise and government may
mutually, provide adequate park
ing- services" for the public.
. “My parking lot is entirely a
private enterprise and does not
cost' the taxpayers of the borough
one cent,” said Gentzel. “In fact
I pay, taxes on this lot, : which is
more than the authority will do
since it is tax exempt."
Gentzel said he personally
' paid for the construction of the
parking lot as well as' person
nel and supervision -and-“was
.now willing.to continue to co
operate with the borough and
ih e authority in furnishing
-parking services."
"I do' not see -why this prop
erty,” he continued, “now used
for parking, should-be condemned
for parking."
. In rejecting the offers, the
authority left the door open for
further negotiations by asking for
a more concrete proposal.
However, the body felt, on
the advice of their bond counsel
r and consulting' engineers, that
Tenting of any properly for
parking- would be out of the
question.
The solicitor said that the con
demnation proceedings would still
be continued but the courts have
currently not yet appointed the
Board of Viewers necessary to ap
praise the property accoring to
the eminent domain proceedings
that were started.

Cabinet Will Air
Recall, Initiative
An amendment to add referendum, recall and initiative
to the Student Government Association Constitution, backed
by a petition to place the amendment on next week’s spring
elections ballot, will be presented to All-University Cabinet
tonight.
' Daniel Thalimer, a member of the Campus party platform
committee which.drew up the
amendment, said he could see
“absolutely no reason” why the
petition would not- be approved
and the amendment placed on the
ballot,
The petition on tile amend*
menti to be presented at lonite's
i Cabinet meeting at 7in 203 Het
' zel Union, has been signed by
"well over" the two per cent
necessary to petition for an
amendment to the constitution.
Thalimer said.
John Rhodes, All-University
vice president, said the petition
will not necessarily be voted on
tonight. He said Cabinet is per
mitted by its constitution to post
pone the petition for up to 30
days before considering it.
“Someone might move to post
pone the petition because it could
easily be construed as a political
move,” Rhodes said. He said that
if the petition is found to be valid,
however, it must be put on the
Cabinet agenda within 30 days.
Thalimer said the petition “ful
fills all the requirements in the
present constitution,” and Cabi
inet should place the proposals on
'next week’s elections ballot.
The present constitution,
Thalimer said, requires an
amendment to be put to a stu
dent vole if it is petitioned by
two per cent of the student
body.
The amendment provides for:
•Referendum—a petition signed
By ten per cent of the student
body would require any Cabinet
.legislation to be put to a student
I vote for approvat After the vote
'the decision of the students could
jbe reversed only by a unanimous
vote of Cabinet *
• Recall —impeachment pro
ceedings could be begun against
:any person elected in a popular
[student election with a petition
isigned by'2s per cent of those
[students eligible to vote for that
[officer. The impeachment proce
dure for removal from office al
| ready is provided for in the con
stitution.
I • Initiative—legislation could
jbe presented to Cabinet with a
[petition signed by two per cent
lof the student body. The amend
[ment also provides that Cabinet
would have to act on the legisla
tion within 30 days.
Ike Favors
Extension Of
Jobless Pay
: WASHINGTON (/P)—Governors
who held an hour-long conference
at the White House Wednesday
; reported the Eisenhower Admin
istration wants to finance an ad
ditional 13 weeks of unemploy
ment compensation out of a fed
eral fund.
This approach was outlined to
reporters by Republican Gov.
Goodwin Knight of California.
Knight and Democratic Govs.
Albert D. Rosellini of Washing
ton. Edmund S. Muskie of Maine
and Orval Faubus of Arkansas
talked of the financing as being
federal grants but a high admin
istration official said the plan,
which is an involved one, is ac
tually a form of loans.
Any outright grant plan has
been described as repugnant to
Secretary of Welfare Folsom on
the grounds it would amount to
extreme New Dealism.
Money for unemployment com
ipensation now comes from a fed
eral payroll tax on employers,
[ranging up to. three per cent of
ithe payroll. The rate can be low
ered from state to state as an in
centive for employers to maintain
eirmloyment.
Many workers have now ex
hausted their benefits and there
has been bipartisan agitation to
carry them along. Reps. John W.
| McCormack (D.-Mass.) and Wil
bur D. Mills (D.-Ark.) have intro
[duced a bill calling for the fed
eral government to finance bene
jfits for an additional 16 weeks.
[Benefit periods vary, being 26
weeks in most states.
Before the meeting opened, Ei
senhower called for faster spend
ing of billion already con
templated for a variety of proj
ects.
Also, the House whipped
through and sent to the White
House a $1.85 billion housing bill
expected to create 500,000 or more
jobs.
These-two antirecession moves
came a short time before Eisen
hower’s Wednesday meeting at
:the White House with a commit
tee of governors on plans to ex
tend Unemployment Compensa
tion benefits a longer period.
In another step, the Army an
nounced it will award 100 million
dollars worth of contracts for
trucks and trailers during the
next 30 days. Nearly all of the
work will be placed in Michigan,
Ilinois. Indiana, Ohio and Penn
sylvania.
Lion Awaits
Spring Tonight
"Well. I’m all set.” gushed the
Nittany Lion this morning:
“All set for what?” asked a
puzzled reporter.
“Why I'm all set for the start
of spring. It comes in at 10:06
tonight and I can
hardly wait to
get my first case
of spring fever.
Oh. won’t it just
be peachy?”
The reporter
found the Lion
hard to disagree
with, but press
ed for the weath
er that will greet
spring. “Well,”
said the Lion,
: try jpg to look as intellectual as
i possible. “I believe that we will
have partly cloudy skies with a
high of 40 to 45 degrees. I do not
foresee precipitation in any way,
shape, manner or form.”
