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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.
