Public Transportation Seen Possible

The Traffic ,!survey Report

it will have to be provided for
some time in t e future.
Such an actio would have to
be a joint venture between the
University and the Borough of
State College.
Several private interests have
been investigating the possibility
of providing public transporta

Large peripheral parking lots
easily accessible to main roads,
elimination of illegal parking,

Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei
Gromyko, who had decried the
package in advance as a tangle
of unrelated issues, was quiet dur
ing the Big Four conference's 2-
hour, 10-minute fourth session.
He listened carefully but with
out comment to Herter's presen
tation of the plan, which includes
at least half a dozen modifica
tions of long-held Western views
on Berlin, German unification,
and European security.

Radio Mose ow quickly de
nounced the plan, saying it made
the work of the Big Four confer
ence more difficult.
Soviet commentator Anatoly
Potapov, reporting from Geneva,
referred scathingly to Herter's
presentation of the Western pack
age.
"This proposal," said Pota
pov, "aims at making the work
of the ministers more difficult
and drowning in a plethora of

is the question of the peace
treaty with Germany and the
examination of the ocupation

past Germany's Foreign Min
ister Lothar Bolz, who is seated
in the conference as an adviser,
said however the plan "is of such
importance.that it deserves to be
studied carefully."
Soviet Premier Khrushchev,
speaking before a meeting in Ki
shinev at about the same time
the West was presenting its plan
here, asserted again that the So
viet Union stands firm on its de
mand that West Berlin "must be
come a free city."
A Radio Moscow account of
his talk said Khrushchev de
clared the Russians "are doing .
everything to achieve good re
sults at the conference in Ge

Gromyko is expected to coun

the Big Four powers to conclude
a peace treaty with the rival
German states and for the United
States, Britain and France to get
their troops out of West Berlin.
congestion, according to the re
port.
I Transportation to campus in the
future will be entirely by motor
vehicle as outlying districts con
tinue to expand.
At present, living facilities
within walking distance of the
campus are practically filled to
capacity and students and em
ployees are being located farther
from the campus.
The survey points out that
students could be restricted to
peripheral lots, and permits
could be issued by class senior
ay for any particular lots. Also,
if the need arises, changes
could be made in the policy
governing student parking.
For employees, the peripheral
lots could be assigned by origin
of trip rather than specific work
areas.
A central agency will handle
parking permits for staff and ser
vice personnel to insure proper
allocation.

SGA Assembly Cuts
Executive Debating
The Student Government Association Assembly last night voted to limit the debating
powers of the SGA president, following a proposal of the Rules Committee.
The committee's proposal stated that the SGA president could address the Assembly
only during the executive committee report and when he is called upon by the Assembly
or any of its members.

For Title Tonight
Eight out of the 12 contest
ants competing in the Miss
Centre County Pageant tonight
are University students.
The contest will be held at 8:15
p.m. in the Bellefonte Junior High
School following a parade at 7
p.m. through the business district
of the town.
The contestants will compete
in evening gown, bathing suit and
talent divisions.
The University students and
their talents are Kay Binder,

Cold Temperature
To Continue Today
The cold weather will continue
today and tonight with frost
likely tonight.
Partly cloudy skies and cool
temperatures should continue to
day with afternoon readings
climbing no higher than 57 de
grees.
Clear skies and light winds will
combine to cause a killing frost
tonight. The low temperature
should range between 27 to 34
degrees depending on elevation.
Sunny and slightly warmer
weather for weekend is predicted.
adjacent to specific work areas
will be reserved for staff and
service personnel who can
demonstrate a real need for the
service. Arrangements will be
made to provide for the physi
cally handicapped.
The elimination of illegal park
ing altogether will help in mak
ing the best use of existing facili
ties for parking.
This action is aimed at people
who take more convenient lots
on rainy days. In this connection
a recommendation has been made
to increase the campus patrol
staff as the need arises to have
enough manpower to enforce
regulations.
Another cause of illegal park
ing will be eliminated when
adequate parking space easily
accessible to administrative of
fices is provided for visitors
and commercial representatives.
The present lots on the central
campus, the survey suggests,
should be improved to accommo
date more cars, with no further
construction of lots in this area.

with the consultation of the com
mittee was adopted by Assembly,
Speaking out against the first
proposal, SGA President Leonard
Julius branded the bill "a grave
injustice to the Executive Com
mittee and to SGA as a whole."
He urged defeat of the pro
posal, saying it would hinder
the president's relaying vital
information to the Assembly.
He cited, as an example, that
he is the sole representative of
SGA to University Senate and
his inf or mation concerning
their actions may at times be
vital to legislative proceedings.
He also attacked the proposal
on the grounds that it will hinder
his power to defend points in
the Executive Committee report.
Section 111 of the SGA Bill of
Rights states, however, that any
student, faculty or administra e
tion member may present mat
ters to the Assembly concerning
student welfare. This would in
clude the SGA president, as a
student, but not as an SGA exec
utive. This point was put forth
by Walter Darren (C.-Jr.) in sup
port of the proposal.
Howard Byers (U.-Sr.) re
futed Julius' claim that the
proposal would keep vital in
formation from the Assembly.
He called Julius' statement
"illogical," saying that such in
formation would surely be
known by others.
Frank Pearson, University Par
ty clique chairman, supported
the proposal and stressed that
SGA branches should be sepa
rate but coordinated. He said the
SGA president's presence at As
sembly meetings was to report
on his committee and to inform
Assembly.
"He is not here to debate,"
Pearson said.
Suggestions to table the pro
posal for further reconsideration
were put forth by Jesse Janji
gian, WSGA president, and by

clique chairman.
