PAGE FOUR Editorial inion For Parking Only The University's decision to charge a $l5 per semester fee for student parking permits raised many eyebrows among students as well as faculty members. The University has long considered it a privilege and not a right to have students park their cars on campus. The campus is small in proportion to the number of people located in the area and the traffic and parking problem has been of long standing. Each year it has become tougher for students to receive permits for parking on campus. Theoretically, only commuting students and the phy sically handicapped need to park on campus; the rest of the students park for their convenience. The commuting students usually drive in car pools which permit more parking spaces than cars. The handicapped are issued permits by University physicians but in many cases stu dents claim illnesses to gain central area parking permits. Faculty and staff members residing outside of a de fined area are eligible for permits but in many cases, nut everyone will get one. Each department is issued a specific number of permits. The University evidently feels it is their responsibility to provide parking spaces for their employees without charge—a common trend in industry, This sounds logical as the town parking problem is large enough without having to provide for 3000 additional spaces. The students will pay the $l5 per semester fee for parking—but this fee should be used only for maintenance and construction of parking lots. Student money for park ing should be kept separate from other funds as it is col lected for a specific purpose. Students should have the privilege to see a yearly audit of the income and the expenses of maintaining the lots. The Senior Class gift fiasco is still too fresh in many students' minds and points out the need for a specifically marked fund to be used for permit fees. Separate Tables It ►s time to adopt a new policy in housing conference delegates and students during the summer months at the University. Groups, especially high school age ones, should not be housed with undergraduate or graduate students who must study and maintain regular sleeping hours. The Summer Collegian received six Letters to the Editor complaining about the actions of the State 4-H Club delegates in the West Halls area. The students de nounced the conduct of the high school members who have been having regular water battles, firecracker wars and other games every night in Hamilton Hall. Although the boys have an 11 p.m. curfew, few of them hold to it and once in the dorms, all bedlam breaks loose. Students canon t be expected to study during the noise, nor can they sleep. The 4-H'ers are supposedly being supervised by mem bers of their county agent's staffs, but you could never telt by their actions. The University should house these students in separate dormitories from the regular students and then let them run wild. Public Education? The effect of the University's tuition rise will be most strongly felt in the rash of applicants for scholar ships and loans. Pennsylvania's educational financial plight is in a deep rut—many students are suffering and many more will feel the plight in the years to come. "Public education" has become a thing of the past. The college-age generation will have to wait for its op portunity to bring education back to the common man.

Lois' sister, Norma Lou Piercy, was here seeing about en trance for the fall semester. The University will acquire another attractive coed if Norma Lou is issued a matric card. IM:=1 The end of the rainbow fell on Penn State this week. The pot of gold is in the form of hundreds of Rainbow girls who are on cam pus for their annual conclave. The rainbow came as usual at the end of a storm—the storm being the reaction of some of my students to grades received for main session. CM= We have a friend with a 55 lb. combination springer-spaniel and beagle pooch. The dog had a bad habit of being too friend ly and when it ran to neighbor ing children and playfully jumped on them--the kids took a good tumble. Our friend in order to curtail the dog's run ning devised a gadget which was a 2-foot section of broom handle hanging from the dog's mck. The pooch took a few steps and stopped. He thought over the situation and then took the "trip-stick" in his mouth and ran off happily. That's al most as good as some of the themes for recent doctoral theses in education. We wonder what the library will do with the more than $lOOO collected for fines during the last school year. May we suggest that it be invested in a book for sever al of the librarians entitled "How to Be Cowl teous and Pleasant to Students Using Their Library." Due to threatening weather last Friday night's graduation was moved indoors. All staff partici pating were notified of the change. Our new Dean of Women was one so notified and in the early eve ning she was overheard mention ing to a companion, "Graduation is going to be in Recreation Hall, wherever that is!" Yes, the little green house was finally moved (out to the State College Swimming Pool). And all preparations were handled efficiently by the campus pa trol.

An anthropologist's delight and an archeologist's 'find would be the community of Campbelltown, Pa., which according to a sign displayed on a student's automo bile, is celebrating its 200th bi centennial. As close as we can figure it, Campbelltown is enter ing ,its 41st millennium. We were discussing the design of one of the popular new cars and its wide flaring rear fenders. According to Canadian Provincial Police, these fins can actually act as wings and create an uplift on a car traveling at high speeds. One of our students asked if these fins were built into the front also would the auto be able to travel off the ground and over any sur face?

It was like a trip through any museum except every thing was large, bold and there for a purpose—Soviet propaganda. Not to be out done, though, American wares were on display in Moscow. The Associate Press reported the exhibition closed Monday in an atmosphere of "interna tional amity and mutual praise and an estimated 1,100,100 vis itors had inspected the thou sands of items in its 42-day run Considerable space was de voted to the scientific and more precisely the nuclear and atomic achievements of the Russians. Model after model of "atom- smashers," power plants and other highly scien tific and non-understandable technological machines were on display, The gaping American eve took a long and staring look at these items wondering if these were the machines which would someday destroy us. But there was no hint of the non-peaceful use of the atom in the Russian exhibit; to the contrary, it stressed the highly scientific achievements these machines make. The radio and electronics display brought a view of Rus sian television and radio sets —very similar to American models, but more plainly de signed and simply constructed. They had live cameras trained on the visitors and played Russian classical music over the radios. A large listening f PFANurs SOMETIMES MIEN I GET UP IN THE MORNING, I ' la.
