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.

We talked with Miss Pennsyl
vania and her also beautiful sis
ter while they were on campus
this past weekend. Miss Lois J.
Piercy was in Bellefonte Friday
and Saturday nights at which
time she was awarded the key to
the city. She spent some time on
campus with Dr. Walter H. Wal
ters, head of the Department of
Theatre Arts, going over some of
the details concerning her talent
presentation for the Miss America
contest. 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.

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.

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. In fact, we know that the
Colonel had all patrolmen in
volved in for a briefing. And
we understand that the high
light of the briefing was . •
the Colonel's command for all
those present to synchronize
their watches.
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? Might be, but watch out
for those bumps!

Exhibition Tops
For World Culture
We took a trip Saturday to New York City and in the
course of seeing two Broadway shows and visiting the
"Village"—we viewed the mammoth Soviet exhibition at
the New York Coliseum.
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

booth was devoted-to playing
stereophonic recordings of fa

Industry and agriculture
were represented by farm ma
chinery and models of Russian
industries such as oil fields,
steel mills and coal mines. The
farm machinery resembled its
American counterparts except
for its straight-line styling.
Receiving the biggest play
were the public health and
education exhibits showing
pictures of smiling children,
factory workers, hospital at
tendants and old-age home
residents. Free medical care,
preventive industry heal t It
programs, and medical ad
vances were all prominently
displayed, each with the cap

were also exhibits describing
the wide scope and popularity
of physical training, sports and
camping in the Soviet Union.
