PAGE FOUR Editorial Opinion Parking Regulations Need Modification The University has taken a big step toward trying to alleviate the parking problem. Most of the regulations are quite sensible but a few definitely need adjusting. The new regulations went into effect Sept. 1 banning any student driving and parking on campus 24 hours a day and seven days a week. Immediately seeing some faults in the program, the administration opened five lots for night and weekend parking to pick up dates. As it stands now, a student is not allowed to drive on Pollock Rd. Unless he has a parking permit, he may not park in any of the restricted areas at any time. However. this creates many problems. First, it defeats the very .purpose for the special exit onto Pollock Rd. from the Hetzel Union parking lot. This exit was constructed to allow a better flow of traffic from that lot on Friday and Saturday nights. With Pollock Rd. open just for the 1 a.m. rush on weekends, it would relieve the dangerous traffic condition existing at the Shortlidge Rd. exit. Secondly, It does not appear that there is a parking problem Sundays, especially in the morning when many off campus students wish to attend chapel services in Schwab Auditorium. One person received a parking violation ticket at about 10 a.m. Sunday while attending the chapel service. Such ticketing is unjustified. The administration feels that the mass confusion that has existed in the past few days will clear once students have settled down for their semesters work. This may be true, but much of the confusion is due to the administra tion's apparent lack of organization in handling applicants for the permits. Students have been directed from one office to the next and, after all their trouble, have not been able to obtain their permits. The permits were to go into effect yesterday. However, not everyone had received the per mits and some had to walk long distances to class. This confusion will be duplicated every semester unless more careful planning is made. The administration under direction of Albert E. Diem, vice president for business administration, is studying the effect of the new regulations. Each problem is being analyzed and wherever relief would result and order can be maintained, a change will be made, Diem said. Several other problems are sure to arise. However, the opening of Pollock Rd. for the 1 a m. rush and easing of the Sunday regulations should be made immediately.

PENNSYLVANIA Letters Customs Board Asks for Spirit TO THE EDITOR: Dear Upperclassmen: Watch the class of ’63, spirited and bright, and eager to explore their future at Penn State—a future of great opportunity for those who attain a true under standing of the University. We must open the pathways of understanding to this new, search ing group. The information given to freshmen through customs is a significant factor in the de velopment of healthy outlooks toward Penn State life. As upperclassmen, we are re sponsible for guiding the fresh men. We are charged with ful filling the expectations of their class. The class of ’63 expects much. Let us give everything we have to make customs a rewarding experience. Its success is in our hands. Participate fully! We of the Customs Board urge you to stringently enforce cus toms for a better Penn State. With all sincerity. Frosh Customs Board Driver Gets Ticket While at Church TO THE EDITOR: At 9:35 am. this Sunday I received a traffic ticket for “parking in a wrong area.” At that time of day I was attending church services and had parked in an area that could easily have handled 50 cars al though there were but five. I fell that this ticket is an in justice. If such tickets are to be distributed during church services, may I reauest that this regulation be added to the pres ent University regulations spe cifically mentioning church serv ices. Parking regulations are neces sary on the campus but to carry the recent edict as far as ticket ing cars while the owners are attending religious services is truly a fine example of adminis trative bigotry. I am withholding payment of my traffic ticket until I receive an answer on this letter. name withheld (Editor’s Note ; Copies of this letter were sent by the author to the University chaplain and Cam pus Patrol.)

Little Man on Campus by Dick Biblar I I 1:1 without malice Summer Is Over; So Get With It! Summer officially ended at 8 a.m yesterday for Penn State students at least. By the appearance of some of the classes about half of each student was left hanging back in July somewhere. On one hand, it was apparent it will take some time for students to get back in the groove of studying. However, some had no trouble return ing to their old routine. There was the usual number of stu dents sleeping through their 8 o’clocks and at least one who slept through an 11. It seems the junus u a 11 y jwarm after noons and cool nights have kept the physical plant employes guessjng. Classrooms were comfortable yesterday morning but some were unbearably i hot in the afternoon MAUCK In one class of about 100 students, 99 arose at the end of the hour. The 100th evi dently just couldn’t take the heat together with the first-day weather. One of his kind fel low students awakened him before leaving the room. Ever notice what students lake notes on the first day? Few anticipate that a profes sor will lecture the very first r || ■! r | || f j | WTu ! S TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER 22. 195? ll mM —TMP TfAM by denny malick day. But without fail, they al most all do. The result is some obscure scribbling on 3 by 5 cards, backs of Mad Comic Books, shirt cuffs and the like. When will we ever learn? Then there was one coed who just couldn’t fox-get the summer. ' While catching a hamburger at a downtown restaurant, she dropped a nickle m the jukebox and played “Summer Love.” Ho Hum. From all indications, the Class of '63 is one of the most exuberant to enter the University in many ye a rs. Well, we'll see. Let's play Missourians and let them show us this exuberance after a week or two of customs. Stick with us frosh. By the way frosh, do you think that everyone of those uppei-classmen that are ask ing for locations of buildings are testing you? This is a big University and it sometimes takes a student about six years to learn where his class es are. So let’s get with it everyone and one last suggestion: Be good. -OU FACULIY
