Members felt that a lot of .doubts r.qw present in the students’ minds concerning party activities, in relation to their actions as Assembly members, could be cleared up if the meetings were open to a reporter. Speaking limitations on the part pf students attending assem bly meeting were also approved. The workshop recommended that in order for a person in the gal lery to speak, an Assembly inem ber must yield the floor to that person.

In order to decide -this, the committee recommended that the SGA pres ident meet with the Rules Com mittee and work out a definite procedure.

Mr. Byers was referring to the students who populate the parking lots on date nights. However, there was a more important reason for putting lights in the parking lot. Elwood S. Olver, director of the Department of Security, recommended that lights be pul in parking lots to protect the students' property and the pedestrians walking late at night. As an example, he cited the fact that two wheels were taken from a student’s car in parking lot 50 a few weeks ago. Lot 50 is located behind the former site of the Jordan fertility plots. Mr. Olver said, “Eventually every parking lot will be rea sonably well lighted." Besides the HUB parking lot, light poles have already been placed in lots 50 and 82 located at the corner of Entrance Rd. and Three-Mile Rd„ 71 behind the Agriculture Building and 83 across from the Military Sci ence Building. Lights on poles in the HUB lot ..will work on the street light circuit. The lots inaccessible to any power outlet will work on photoelectric cells, coming on gradually as it becomes darker. FOR A BETTER PENN STATE 300 Drivers Hit by Fines Many students are learning about the new parking regula tions the hard way—they are pay ing fines. Capt. Philip A. Mark, traffic violation’s officer of the dean of men’s office, said up to 5 p.m. Friday, 178 fines had been paid for parking in the wrong area and 50 for cars without registra tion permits displayed.

Grade Heads Toward State Mighty hurricane Gracie moved inland on the South Carolina coast early yesterda; torrential rains and winds up The big tropical twister bat ton and Savannah for several noithern portion of the state. j Rain and winds will gradual ly increase in Ihe Slate Col lege area today and the rain should become heavy by late in ihe day, Indications are that three inches of rain will fall in this area during today and to night. If this prediction proves accurate, this will be the heav iest rain observed here in more than three years. Winds will increase to 25 to 40 miles an hour with a few gusts to 50 miles an hour likely dur ing the evening. Gracie carried winds of gale force and spread heavy rains well out in front of its center. Most persons in the areas hit followed Weather Bureau ad ivee and loss of life and prop erty damage was held to a minimum. Up until late Tues day, only one death had been attributed to the storm. Damage was extensive through a good portion of the Carolir.as due to the winds and rain. Many people were without power as a result of the felled trees and elec tric lines. The problem of flooding in those areas, will arise due to the rising nveis and streams caused by thei excessive rainfall. Ten to 15 in ches of rain fell in the Eastern two-thirds of North and South Carolina during the past 24 hours. The hurricane will weaken slowly as it moves northeast ward through Virginia today. However, winds of gale force i and heavy rains will continue in Virginia and should gradual ly overspread the eastern half of Pennsylvania during the day.

Small crafts from the Carolinas northward to New England have been warned to stay in port and the Boston Weather Bureau told all fishermen to se cure their moorings. Although heavy rains and strong winds will strike Central Pennsylvania, the eastern and southern sections of the state will experience much worse condi tions. Up to five inches of rain and winds close to 60 miles an hour are expected.
