PAGE FOUR Editorial Opinion A Watching Campus In its future plans for expansion, the University has used the term “walking campus.’’ However, new plans just announced indicate it may become a “watching campus." Lawrence E. Dennis, vice president for academic affairs, announced expansion plans for the closed circuit television system which would extend the circuit to Home Economics, Military Science and the engineering build ings. Eventually, it would move into the Helzel Union Building and even residence halls. The University evidentally feels the closed circuit system is the answer to the problem of expanding enroll ments. If the students don’t fit into the classrooms, take the classes to the students. Tins idea parallels President Eric A. Walker’s com ments eaiher this month concerning more responsibility on the part of the individual student. This is the transi tional step of moving from the “babied” student to one' who has more individual responsibility as in European u mveisities. Students have criticized TV classes because they seem impersonal. But because of the current pressure to enroll more students, coupled with existing funds, TV classes may have to be the answer. Educators throughout the nation are searching for a solution to this problem, and educational TV is one answer. Any suggestions? Other Views Wanted: Parking Space There have been many comments in the past few days about lh9 extremely crowded parking situation. Many of them have been unprintable, but aside from those the one that sums it up best was this: "I've got a parking permit, but that doesn't find me a place to park." There are more than 3,800 student cars registered on cam pus, and many more will be brought to the University before the semester is over. Comparison of these figures to those of the first semester last year shows that the pace of car registration is already ahead of 1958. But even to the casual observer it is apparent that LSU students (or their fathers) are enjoying a high degree of prosperity in the car buying department. As long as tho University allows every student to have a car, it will be faced with a parking problem likely to become increasingly bad every year. Parking areas are already bulging; the fight for the space between the little black lines is growing bitter. It is not an unusual policy for universities to keep freshmen from having cars on campus. Not only does it keep them from getting into a habit of running around foo much, but it also makes them appreciate the privilege of having a car that much more when they are allowed to have them as upperclassmen. The students aren't going to voluntarily leave their cars at home. Official action is needed now, before a bad situation becomes impossible. ittle Man on Cam fl"/^ •* • V'yrf&frr' «>./' - y&etLy l .* l .'* YOU me YOK ASSIONMeNtS'TWI|TBP^- i THIS 15 to ee Fieto -TKiP-M); 1 &91OGY. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA —Daily Reveille Louisiana Slate University US by Dick Bil Now in lowa Reporters Use Hog House To Cover 'K' By ARTHUR EDSON COON RAPIDS, lowa (/P)—Ni kita Khrushchev finally got to see lowa close up and the Ros well Garst home looked more like a beseiged fort than a farm. As Khrushchev drove up to the comfortable-looking white frame house yesterday, a line of Na tional Guardsmen stood with car bines on the ready to protect him from anv potential harm. All over the farm were additional guards. Two were zealously protecting the pig pen. Nor was the rest of the scene that greeted Khrushchev typi cal of the average day on the average farm. Photographers roosted in the trees, in the barnlofts, in the up stairs windows, and reporters squeezed and jammed up close as best they could do to see what was going on. Mrs. Khrushchev was intro duced to the Garsts’ grandchil dren and happily helped them get in the front row so pictures of the gtoup could be taken. The w'hole scene was incredible. It looked like the biggest country auction day in history. Some of the guests were neighbors of the Garsts, but those invited included such simple country folks as Adlai Stevenson, who came in from his farm in Liberlyville, 111. Just what-impressions Khrush chev can get from such a mob scene remains doubtful. And even if the farm had been cleared of all guests, it still would hardly resemble the farm with which most of us are familiar. Everywhere were large build ings to help Garst carry on his gigantic farm operations. Assort ed pigs and cows looked on with some astonishment at the scram bling people. Reporters, photographers, tele vision men and police were racing around everywhere. It came as a shock to some of the city re porters to learn their telephones had been located in the hog house. Before Khrushchev arrived. Harold Lee, Garst's son-in-law. showed a few reporters around the house. In many ways it's typical of any prosperous farm family. The house is simply decorated; rooms were added to the basic structure as the family grew. The special room set aside for Khrushchev to rest had a couple of maple beds in it, a braided rug, hand made by Mrs. Garst’S mother, and a plaque on the wall from Grinnell College, where two of the Garsts went to school. One touch illustrates, however, that this is scarcely an average farm home. As Khrushchev walked from the house to the luncheon tent, he went by the family's large swimming pool. It is not one of those recent pre built pools, either. The Garst’s have had it for years. Gazette TODAY Ag Kill Big-LUtle Sinter picnic, 5 30*pm. Bridge. 6:30-10 pm.

There’s something wrong with the mirror in my room. The reflection in it has gained 10 pounds”! This is the cry that hits the female campus a week after the start of classes It comes with the discovery that last year’s skirt doesn’t fi t anymore. The cleaners must have shrunk it. Af ter all, no one can gam all that weight during one summer It comes with the discovery that last year’s boyfriend passes her on the way to miss levins the HUB without so much as nodding his head in her di rection. Could it be he didn’t recognize her? Maybe he wasn’t prepared for such an eyeful. If comes with the uncom fortable suspicion that per haps all the swimming, tennis, golf and dancing she engaged in during the summer didn't quite make up for all the ice cream, candy, soft drinks, hot dogs, popcorn, french fries, submarine sand wiches and lemonade she consumed while at the beach, on the courts or at the movies. Whatever the reason which brought on the surprised scream as our coed stood be fore the mirror, sooner or later she decides that the fault lies not with the zinc-backed glass but with her own eating habits. So she decides to try some new ones—namely a re ducing diet! / Reducing diets, and the co eds who try them, come m many shapes and sizes. A quick turn through the Lion’s Den, a town restaurant, or a resi dence hall dining room will bring most of them into view. In the Lion's Den we find a coed who has just finished a big, goopey chocolate fudge sundae—double chocolate and heavy on the nuts. She fin- A Student-Operated.

She has done her duly —she is watching her calories. She is happy. Back in the dorms another coed has started on the trail to a "slimmer, healthier figure in two weeks or your money cheerfully refunded.” “No po tatoes, please,” she says to the attendant behind the counter. She also passes up the fresh, warm rolls and the whipped cream cake dessert. Such will power! Once at the table, however, we find a different situation. Our coed, having finished her meager meal, is still hungry. She scans the table. Ah, some one has left without touching the dessert. There it sits—so tempting, so smooth. Nobody’s looking. Maybe she’ll just taste it. She does—and when that one is eaten, she finishes the one her roommate didn’t want and perhaps one which was left on a neighboring table. However, she leaves the ta ble content in the knowledge that she didn’t lake every thing on the menu when she went, through the dinner line. Such will power? In addition to the “dieters” we have just seen, we also find the woman who satisfies her conscience by eating the pie-filling and not the crust or the cake without the icing. Her opposite, also a dieter, eats the crust and the icing but not the fillings. Both types are secure in the knowledge tha those pounds will soon Start melting away. In a town restaurant we can also find the do-or-die dieter. Continued on page five
