PAGE FOUR Editorial Opinion Open Pollock Rd. On Nights, Sundays The present perking problem may well be on its way to a solution pleasing to both the students and faculty and administration members if Assembly recommendations are taken seriously by University officials. The SGA Assembly gave its endorsement to recom mendations that all campus roads be opened to student drivers from 6 p.m. to 1 a.m. during the week and from 7 a.m. to 1 a.m. on Sundays. The proposals have great merit because they show that the present regulations on student driving and park ing have not been accepted by the student body, much leas the elected representatives of the student body. Wholehearted approval was also given to a proposal calling for the issuing of special parking permits to people affiliated with the Sunday religious services at Schwab Auditorium. It is a shame that students having strong enough religious convictions that they would travel up to campus to attend religious services must pay a fine for parking. Gi anted there is the Hetzel Union parking lot which is open for student parking, but the problems may arise in the future when the lot will be filled and students will have to park in outlying areas of the campus. This is hardly the way to foster religious affairs at the University. The opening of all campus roads to student traffic in the evenings could hardly be called an imposition on faculty administration driving. While the flow of such traffic is great during class and office hours, the number of such drivers during the evenings could scarcely be termed as large. The steps taken last evening by the Assembly are ones in the right direction. The parking problem has at last come out into the open. No regulations are infallible and thus, they can be changed or modified in such a manner as to please everyone. Now that impetus has been given to the problem, investigation on a wide scale to determine a good solution should be conducted by both student leaders and officials responsible for these regulations. Only in this way can prompt action be realized. 0* Batty Tollrgiatt Successor to The Free Lance, est. 1887 Published Tuesday through Saturday morning during the University year.

PENNSYLVANIA Letters Julius Urges Good Conduct TO THE EDITOR: Tomorrow after noon Penn State and Syra cuse will engage in what will undoubtedly be one of the best football games of the year. Naturally we all feel very strongly about winning this game. However, our victory over Syracuse should be gained on the football field. It should NOT be a "victory of vandal ism " During the past week, sev eral students have traveled to Syracuse and have painted a number of buildings on the Syracuse campus. This, I feel, has not been in the best inter ests of Penn State. Conduct such as this only serves to damage relationships between schools. It is not a mature ex preSsion of school spirit. Many students do not seem to realize that the damaging of another school's property is a very serious matter.

Syracuse would, of course, be perfectly justified in de manding this payment since The Daily Collegian has report ed that the damage was done by Penn State students. This raises the question, "Why should the University have to pay for something that was done by individual stu dents?" I am of the opinion that we, the students, should accept the responsibility for our own actions. In this same vein, I should like to suggest that other schools be discouraged as much as possible from painting our own Nittany Lion. Many times when paint is applied to the statue it must be sandblasted off. Each sandblasting does a bit more to destroy the detail in West Halls Challenges Nittany TO THE EDITOR: We the men of the West Halls want to reply to a letter in yesterday's Col legian in which certain mem bers of Nittany Halls said it was a disgrace that the boys in West Halls were not doing their part in protecting our symbol, the Nittany Lion. We seriously doubt that the Lion was painted by students from Syracuse, since anyone driving over 200 miles would surely do more than paint four letters! However, last night and the night before the men from Hamilton, Jordan and Watts had at least 150 men at all times during the night—all well concealed. With the men of West Halls faithfully guarding the Lion it will take many Syracuse "Oranges" to get within 1000 feet of our Lion. Can Nittany do anything better than that? If they ean, send up some boys so we can get some sleep. —Raymond Curcio, '63 George Adams, '62 Thomas Davis, '63 Ronald Krajack, '63 TO THE EDITOR: The men of West Halls must admit that no one from this area guarded the Lion on Tuesday night. This year, however, there are only 800 men in West Halls to do a job formerly done by 1700 men. We are wondering why the Nittany boys couldn't have Ex-Prexy Hits Compensation TO THE EDITOR: As an ex dorm president, who spent all of last year on the Nittany Council, I would like to ex plain the actual job done by many dorm presidents as com pared to that which the Execu tive Committee of the Nittany Council claim his responsibili ties to be. 1. Attend all council meet ings or send an alternate. (Many meetings last year were held with less than or exactly a quorum present.) 2. Act as liaison between the council and his dorm residents. [Remember how the T-shirt taw and this year's compensa tions were passed without the knowledge or consent of the dorm residents?) 3. Preside over all dorm Food Service Thanked for Dinner TO THE EDITOR: On behalf of the students of the West Halls and all who unselfishly aided me in my efforts, I would like to extend my sincere ap preciation and thanks to the Food Service staff and the deans' offices for their part in the institution of the complete WDFM Program Schedule FRIDAY WDFM 91.1 megacycle* 6.65 Weatheracope 7:09 Sophisticated Lady 7:80 The Guest Dian Jockey I:61 News FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1959 for Game this work of art. The fine lines that were originally in the statue are no longer there; the symbol of our University is gradually being sandblasted away. Speaking of the destruction of property, we should all rea lize that post-game demonstra tions are acceptable only so long as they do not involve any destructiveness. The celebra tion after the Army and the Illinois games were condoned by the University and the town because no destruction of prop erty was involved. Let's keep all future celebrations on the same high plane and preserve our right to have post-game celebrations. From now on, let's beat our opponents with forward passes, off-tackle slants and end runs, not with paint brushes. —Leonard Julius, President Student Government Association offered a little help—after all, they are getting paid, we are not. We in West Halls would also like to know why, when we can afford to put up our own ban ners, our rich brethren in Nit tany must resort to stealing banners from the women in McElwain Hall in order to decorate then• area. I might add that we now have plenty of good men for guard duty and the boys from Nittany can spend all their time guarding their treasury. —Bruce Baker, '6O TO THE EDITOR: In answer to the unfounded accusations of the "last male stronghold of fight and spirit on the Penn State campus," we the men of the West Halls hereby donate the 3 a.m. to 6 a.m. shift of guarding the Lion Friday night to the pseudo-patriotic mem bers of Nittany. They're pretty good at talk ing but actions speak louder than words. We've sacrificed two nights of sleep thus far and we're wondering how many of these Nittany men (?) have done half as much. Could it be that the rain Wednesday night was too much for these "patriots." Let's go Nittany; we all belong to the same university. —Richard Westrick, '63 Roger Pellyn, '63 Eric Matson, '63 Bernard Smith, '63 meetings. (When they are held and if anyone attends.) 4. Enforce quiet hours in his dorm. (How many dorms have enforced quiet hours?) 5. Appoint all committees and insure that they are func tioning properly. (What com mittees?) 6. Act as liason between the counselor and the men of the dorm. (What does the president do that any resident couldn't do?) Is this the reason a dorm president is paid $lO (two thirds of what the freshman class president receives). Or did the Executive Committee and the presidents decide that since the money was there, why not put it to a "good use"? —J. H. White, '62 mixed dining program in War ing Halls this year. I believe that this_ - is a firm step forward in eliminating some of the segregational bar riers and in providing Penn State with a much desired com munity living program. —Carl Smith, '6O 3:00 Starliti Review 9:00 Music of the Nations :30 Spoken Words 9:46 News and Sports 10 :015 Light Classical, Jukebox 11:3a 8414 OIL
