Should sophomores be allowed to drive in Centre County? This question will undoubt
edly be debated by the SGA Assembly this week when it receives a bill asking that the
freshman driving ban be extended to sophomores.
The bill also recommends that Pollock Rd., from Shortlidge Rd. to Burrowes Rd., be
closed to all traffic between c' until noon and 1:05 p.m. until
Cabinet Hits
Sophomore
Driving Bill
By SUE LINKROUM
SGA Cabinet last night op
posed the bill recommending
that sophomores be prohibited
from driving on campus and
within th e boundaries of
Centre County.
Several Cabinet members point
ed out that reducing the number
of student cars would would fur
ther hinder the• transportation to
and from campus during vaca
tions and holidays.
Jay Hawley, Rules Committee
chairman, said that "it, would be
a travesty for SGA" to recom
mend such an act since it was not
in the best interests of the stu
dents.
Carol Dominick, Panhellenic
Council president, said sopho
mores should be allowed to
have cars until there absolutely
no facilities for them.
David Epstein, Inter-College
Council Board president, spoke in
favor of the bill. He said in view
of the increasing enrollment traf
fic and parking situations will be
come worse and eventually a time
will come when sophomores will
not be allowed to have cars on
campus." It would ease the pain"
if the prohibition started now,
Epstein said.
Cabinet also recommended that
Pollock Rd., from Shortlidge to
Borrowes Rds., be closed to all
motor vehicles between class pe
riods to ease student traffic at
these times.
In a third move, Cabinet rec
ommended that a registration fee
be collected from each student
who registers a car.

ass periods and from 11:50 a.m
1:15 p.m. It would be open to traf
fic at all other times.
It asks also that a fee .be
charged each student who regis
ters a car. At present only stu
dents who wish a parking• permit
on campus pay a $l5 fee.
The bill will be presented by
John Brandt, alternate assembly
man (C.-Sr.), and Howard Byers
(U.-Sr.).
Byers said last night that
with increasing enrollment it
is only logical that there will be
more and more sophomores
driving cars. "We've been pret
ty fortunate so far, but it's time
we took a mature view and real
ize that accidents are bound to
happen," he said. Banning soph
omore driving would curtail the
accident rate a great deal more,
he added. .
Brandt and Byers will also pre
sent an amendment to the by
laws that Assembly meet regular
ly every Thursday during the
school year, unless otherwise spe-'
cified by the Assembly at a pre
vious meeting:
Byers said this amendment
would be "putting the majority
feeling into action." The idea was
generated by many others, he
said, because of the cancelling of
the last meeting.
The time and place for the
meetings would be designated
by the Bules Committee, Byers
said.
Assembly will also hear a bill
asking that class advisory boards
be established as an entity within
the Student Government Associa
tion.
At present there are no provi
sions for advisory boards in the
constitution.
The bill calls for a constitu
tional amendment that each
class president appoint the class
officers he needs from his ad
visory boards. The bo - ards would
approve the president's appoin
tees.
The boards themselves would
be selected by the Cabinet Per
sonnel Interviewing Committee
with the approval of the class
presidents.

Settlement Will Cost
Industry Over $1 Billion
WASHINGTON VP) The worst steel labor battle in the
nation's history ended yesterday on government-recom
mended terms at a price the industry estimated will cost
"well over $1 billion."
In making that estimate in a nationwide television address
last night Chairman Roger M.
Blough of U.S. Steel Corp. said,
i the steel companies had no choice
but to accept reluctantly.
There appeared to be no im
mediate threat of a steel price
boost. Blough issued a separate
statement saying 'U.S. Steel pro
poses to "continue the general
level of its prices for the immedi
ate future." But he said competi
BULLETIN
BUFFALO, N.Y. (IP)—David
J. McDonald, president of the
United Steelworkers Union, told
a carnival-like rally of more
than 5,000 USW Members last
night the agreement reached
with steel industry was 40 per
cent better than the companies'
last offer.
"I promise you," McDonald
told the cheering steelworkers,
"that we emerge from these ne
gotiations with the greatest con ,
tract, the best conditions the
steelworkers have ever en
joyed."
tive and other factors might com
pel a change later.
Blaugh said the alternative to
acceptance of the government
plan probably was either a re
newed bitter strike, like the rec
ord 116-day walkout that hit the
country last summer and autumn
or possibly an even costlier set
tlement imposed by compulsion.
The peace pact was worked
out by Vice President Richard
M. Nixon and Secretary of La
bor James P. Mitchell. Their
peace-making role may point to
their nomination as the Repub
lican choices for president and
vice prt.sident respectively.
Mitchell indicated at a late day
news conference that the settle
ment has killed any prospect that
the administration will ask Con
gress for stronger federal legisla
tion curbing national emergency
strikes.
Mitchell also said: "It is my
belief that the steel companies
will not need to increase steel
prices immediately."
The agreement calls for a 40-
cents an hour boost in pay and
other benefits over a 30-month
period running front now to
July 1, 1962.
The pact dates back for tech
nical reasons to mid-1959, but
none of its economic terms are
retroactive.
It provides substantial insur
ance and other benefits immedi
ately, plus seven-cent hourly pay
boosts in late 1960 and late 1961.
The steelworkers now average
$3.11 hourly earnings.

'Boma Bowl
Bid Attacked
By NAACP
The National Association for
the Advancement of Colored
People has protested the selec
tion and subsequent participa
tion of the University of Ala
bama for the Liberty Bowl
game.
A resolution approved by the
Philadelphia branch of the
NAACP was presented to the pro
moters of the Liberty Bowl. It
states that Alabama does not ad
mit Negro students and, therefore,
should not have been chosen to
participate in the Liberty Bowl.
It says that the Liberty Bell
stands as a symbol of human lib
erty and freedom and that this
symbol was desecrated when Ala
bama was chosen to play in the
game.
- A letter received by The Daily
Collegian from Harry J. Greene,
president of the Philadelphia
NAACP, said that Alabama was
undemocratic when it refused ad
mission to Autherine Lucy. Miss
Lucy sought admission to Ala
bama in 1956.
Greene said that it was the duty
of the NAACP to protest the se
lection of Alabama for the bowl
game because it is one of the four
remaining state universities which
bars the enrollment of Negroes.
The letter urged the Liberty
Bowl officials to give more
thought and consideration to
teams which they ask to play in
the future.
