Driving Ban Indicates
An Eye to The Future
Students are questioning the recommendation to ban
sophomore driving because they feel that there is no need
for such action at present. But, from a long-rage view
point, this suggestion shows foresight into a problem that
is bound to become acute in the near future.
The parking and traffic problem has been the major
Issue of the semester. Why has student driving been
prohibited on Pollock Road? Why have the administrative
officials cracked down on parking and traffic regulations?
To investigate these questions posed by the students ,
.
the SGA Assembly appointed a committee to study the
traffic code and report back to Assembly.
Now that the administration has levied such regula
tions on the students, it is a bit difficult to find sufficient
reasons to ask that they be retracted. So the next best
thing would seem to be to anticipate future regulations.
As it now stands, the sophomore ban recommendation
has not been made to prematurely create an area of conten
tion. It serves to call a potential problem to the attention
of the Assembly where it can undergo careful investiga
tion before any administrative action can be taken.
Sooner or later the administration is going to take
action to relieve the overflow of cars, and the sophomore
ban could be one answer. Once this is done, there will be
little chance of turning back as is shown clearly by the
current regulations.
By calling the problem to the attention of the
Assembly now, ample time can be reserved for careful
consideration of any alternatives for future parking and
driving regulations. Suggestions from the Assembly can
then be presented to the administration in advance of any
action on the latter's part.
This affords the Assembly a good opportunity to study
all aspects of problems which will inevitably arise with
the rapidly increasing enrollment.
Something is going to have to be done about parking
and traffic. What better way is there to do it than through
student action?

Capitol Bustles Amid Noisy Politicians
By ARTHUR EDSON
WASHINGTON (?P)
Congress doesn't officially
open for business until to
day, but already the town
is jumping.
President Eisenhower hurry
ing back from his. Augusta, Ga.,
golf course, senators popping
up everywhere with well
honed adjectives.
Anyone who moved fast
enough, and who didn't mind
if his ears took a beating, could
listen to nine senators speak
at one spot or another yester
day, including four full-fledged
news conferences.
So let's get into the preopen
lng warmups by dropping in
on one of the news conferences.

dential candidate, he drew a
full house. He has just returned
from Africa, but nobody cared
much about this. Most report
ers seemed interested only in
his presidential hopes, if any,
and the air was filled with
such pithy exchanges as these:
"If you should become presi
dent."
"Well, the question is a little
hypothetical. I am not an
avowed candidate."
"If you are not an avowed
candidate, what kind of a can
didate are you?"
Symington said he'd have to
say he isn't a candidate at all.
But you had the feeling if you
twisted his arm long enough,
he might shyly step forward.
Symington often talks about
how we lag behind the Soviet
Union in missiles, and some of
the talk was of that. Syming
ton thinks the gap is growing
larger. As he talked, he pursed.
Anti-Semitism
May Not Be
Work of Reds
By J. M. ROBERTS
Associated Press News Analyst
It is easy to speculate that the
Communists are behind the new
outbreak of anti-Semitic inci
dents, hoping to discredit West
Germany as the time for negotia
tions over the German future ap
proaches, but the speculation may
not be well-founded,
In the first place, there is no
denying that there are Nazi left
over in Germany, and neo-Nazi
organizations containing hoodlums
perfectly capable of the acts. The
overwhelming popularity of Chan
cellor Konrad Adenauer, who has
sought zealously to lead German
thinking away from such fields, is
sufficient evidence that these ele
ments are neither representative
nor powerful.
But in Germany and the rest
of the world there are enough
extremists who, like anony
mous letter writers, are willing
to act surreptitiously to create
the impression of an organized
movement.
Any Communist conspiracy in
such a matter would be in con
stant danger of discovery, and
the resultant danger of the Com
munists cause very real.
The Communists have always
been extremely wary of charges
of anti-Semitism, recognizing it as
a link to Czarist Russia where the
program was once a well-used
weapon of the government to keep
the minds of the people off their
other troubles.
It still exists, of course, and
at times has flared to the point
where it was clearly discernible
even through the Iron Curtain.
But the line has seldom been
clearly drawn between anti-
Semitism and the general run
ning fight which communism
carries on against all religions
in its effort to stand as a re
ligion within itself.
Stirring up hatred is not the
Soviet line today, although the
Chinese Communists still go for it
in a big•way.

his lips, like a man who not
only weighs his words but also
savors them. This it turned out,
was a delusion.
"If I seem a little tight in
the mouth," said Symington—
his mouth tight—"my dentist
gave me a good working over."
Leaving the tight-lipped un
avowed candidate, busily un
avowing, let's scurry down to
the basement for the inaugur
ation of the new Senate sub
way train, designed to whisk
senators from their new office
building a thousand feet to the
Capitol in exactly 52 seconds.
This project has been criti
cized, mostly by some of the
senators themselves, as a "hor
rendous, expensive boondog
gle." But the two senators on
the program—and who were
on the building commission—
were not among the critics.

Bluebooks, Papers

I have a bluebook today that I didn't get a chance to
study for. I have a final speech to give Friday, two more
bluebooks next week, a term paper due next weekend and
I can't find a thing in the library.
Furthermore, I'm a senior ana I must pass all my
courses or I won't graduate
with my class. But there's this
one prof who doesn't like me
and I'll never get by him.
Whew! Who's complaining?
We're just joining in the most
popular game on campus about
this time of year called "Can
You Top This?"
Yes, this is the time of year
when each student is giving
his own impersonation of Atlas
by carrying the whole world
around on his shoulders. NoDoz

lengthen, barbers go broke and
sorority suites settle down for

break has become almost a
necessity, the librar} is just
too far from the nearest pot
(coffee) to be practical. This
is a subtle suggestion that it
wouldn't be a bad idea to have
a little coffee shop in the li
brary. Then everyone could
congregate there instead of
making a lot of noise in the
halls.
Freshmen experiencing their
first end-of-semester jitters
look like they're all about
ready to have heart attacks.
Don't worry, Frosh, you'll get
accustomed to it after your
tenth semester.
It'll all be over soon. Then
we can sit back and relax. and
add another New Year's resol
ution that NEXT semester we'll
start studying from the very
first day. (Methinks that line
sounds familiar.)
