Editorial Opinion
Way to Go Before
the Traffic Problems
A Long
Solving
The traffic hill presented by the SGA Assembly
Thursday night should not be forgotten just because it
Was defeated.
The bill in its present form may not have seemed
acceptable to most of the Assembly members, but it gives
food for thought on the future development of inevitable
traffic and parking problems.
The proposal io close Pollock Road to all traffic
during class hours would have definitely presented regula
tion problems, sinco there are certain parking lots which
have access only to Pollock Road. There is also the
problem of making visitors to the campus acquainted with
the regulations. There would be much controversy in
drawing a line somewhere on what constituted an inten
tional violation of the rules if implemented.
The possibility of closing the road to all through traf
fic, would be a good way to solve many of the traffic
pi oblems now in existence. Pollock Road does not neces
sarily have to be a thoroughfare for campus sightseers
since Curtin Road could serve the same purpose, elimi
nating conjestion during class hours and on weekends.
With regard to the policy which may be implemented
next fall of charging a standard fee to all students oper
ating cars, there are many problems that could and should
be ironed out.
The reasons behind a uniform fee are based on fairness
to all who use the campus parking lots. However, there
are some students living downtown who use their cars
only for the purpose of traveling back and forth from
State College to their respective hometown.
If students could be given the option of whether or
not they would like to use the campus lots, and if a system
of providing different stickers was used—ones for those
who have paid a fee for using the campus facilities and one
for those students who have no intention of parking their
car on campus at any time dwing the semester—the regis
tration fee system would work out fairly for all concerned.
There is no reason why students who do not take ad
vantage of campus parking facilities at any time during the
semester should have to pay a fee for the upkeep of these
parking lots.
And finally, the possibility of some group of students
having to relinquish their driving privileges in the future
is itnminent. The Assembly would do well to be prepared
for any situation on this order which may arise.
The parking and traffic problems will not be solved
overnight. Careful planning and thought will have to be
put into them before final action is taken.
That is why the Assembly members should keep these
things in mind and work toward some goal that will be
beneficial to all student drivers.

Cheating Issue
Through Poem
TO THE EDITOR: In reference to
the recent Saturday Evening Post
article on cheating:
It is strongly alleged there are
some cheats.
Their theory seems to be
What counts are really transcript
sheet s,
A preponderance of A's to see.
Will they be worthy and all that
matters
Even though a soul does fall to
tatters?
Within each cheat there's an
observer,
He's inside the same identical
shell.
He likes to think kindly of Hs
host,
And not be tortured by an empty
skull.
With all the trust and confidence
The world needs in students, well!
It's original thought that really
matters,
To copy is to encourage hell.
The Cheaters philosophy is but a
temporal thing;
He can't produce on transcript
alone
In earning a living or facing his
Maker
Which way do you think he'll
swing?
Nittany Soiution7
'Build New Dorms'
TO THE EDITOR: I hear that
there is talk of remodeling and
repairing the Nittany prison
camp. It seems to me there has
been a lot of talk and not very
much action. Let's get started!
I think the most economical ap
proach to ~ he problem is to start
from scratch and build new dorm
itories. (I did not even take Eco
nomics 14 yet). Why repair build
ings that are worn out and have
already served their useful pur
pose many times over.
More dorms will be needed in
the future to facilitate the in
creased enrollment, so why not
spend the money on new buildings
instead of repairing some old rat
traps.
I think Mr, Diem had better
stop dreaming up new auto
mobile regulations and concen
trate on the problem at hand,
The Nittany Dorms. Here's to a
better Penn State!

Soviet Rockets to Precede Summit
Associated Press News Analyst
Despite the softness of the
1959 line of Soviet Premier
Nikita Khrusrchev, the Soviet
Union is going to flex its
muscles before the eyes of the
world prior to the summit con
ference.
Some sort of demonstration has
been expectable. There has been
speculation as to the form it
would take. Viewing the NATO
and Western summit conferences
as efforts to bolster their position
of strength in negotiations, Soviet
leaders could do no less than try
to match it.
The announcement that So
viet rockets will be fired into
the Pacific southwest of The Ha
waiian Islands is an answer
though planned independently

nouncement that American mis-

the tests would be made in con
nection with the development of
more powerful engines for the ex
ploration of space. That could be
done better by shooting straight
up and taking instrument read
ings, since there is no indication
they intend to pick up the spent
rockets for study.
When the United States fires
rockets down at its test ranges
it is for purposes of military de
velopment.
The Soviet plans will actually
be a demonstration of how far
and how accurately it can shoot.
More than once in recent years
the Red leaders have used their
possession of missiles as a politi
cal threat, as in connection with
the Suez flare-up and the estab
lishment of missile bases in Eu
ropean countries.
Khrushchev said before coming
to the United States that he did
not want to appear as a man with
a missile in his pocket. But re
