Editorial Opinion
Hub Lot Ban Accomplishes Nothing
The Student Encampment workshop
on University expansion and student wel
fare came up with more valid proposals
for solving the traffic and parking problem
at the Iletzel Union building lot than did
the administration when it issued its edict
that student parking in the lot be banned
at all times.
Albert E. Diem, vice president for
business administration, presented four
problems which the University is trying
to eliminate by changing the parking reg
ulations'regarding the HUB lot. The pri
mary problem was maintaining safety in
the congested areas of Shortlidge Rd. and
the HUB lot.
This is most certainly a problem and
every effort should be, made to insure the
safety of the pedestrians who use the lot
as a main thoroughfare. But banning stu !
dent parking in the lot between the hours
of 5:30 p.m. and 7 a.m. does not help correct
the problem one bit.
The. voluminous flow of pedestrian
traffic through the lot takes place during
the cl'i'ytime, more specifically during the
minutes between classes and especially at
8 a.m., 12 noon and 5 p.m. This pedestrian
traffic is composed almost entirely of the
4500 student inhabitants of the residence
hall area east of Shortlidge and south of
Pollock Rds. on their way to and from
classes.
But students cannot park in the HUB
lot during the daytime hours anyway, and
eliminating student parking at night does
not reach the problem at all.
The Encampment workshop, however,
made two proposals that would hit the
problem. Both, of course, would involve
a financial outlay by the University.
One was to lay sidewalks north and
south of the lot and prohibit through
pedestrian traffic in the parking area.
The second proposal calls for the con-

struction of an underpass or overpass across
Shortlidge Rd.
Either or both of these would be xral-
uable aid to safety in the congested area,
but banning nighttime parking by students
is no aid.
A second problem cited by the adminis
tration was to provide adequate parking
facilities for visitors. This obviously meant
on weekends because students last year
were allowed to park in the HUB lot after
12:30 p.m. on Saturday and all day Sunday.
But visitors, who are allowed to park
in any lot on campus, could just as easily
use the vast lots behind Osmond Lab which
lie almost vacant most of the weekend.
Students are not allowed to use this lot.
A third problem given by the adminis
tration was need for additional parking
space for faculty and staff. This hardly
seems valid since the HUB lot has pre
viously been reserved for faculty and staff
during the day. The students only ask to
use the HUB lot at night, and the nearby
Osmond lot supplies sufficient room for the
night parking requirements of the faculty
and staff.
The fourth and final problem cited by
the administration was dispersion of traf
fic (evidently at peak hours, such as 1 a.m.
Saturday and Sunday).
This evidently refers to the mass con
gestion on Shortlidge Rd. But until the
cloverleaf at the east end of town is com
pleted and Entrance Rd. reopened to Col
lege Ave., this congestion will persist, for
Shortlidge Rd. is the only open exit from
east campus.
Here then are the four problems cited
by the administration, some of them valid
indeed. But banning student parking in the
HUB lot during the nighttime hours does
not alleviate any of them.

Interpreting
Khrushchev's UN Speech Analyzed
By J. M. ROBERTS
Associated Press News Analyst
Soviet Premier Nikita
Khrushchev showed clearly
yesterday he knows how to
end the cold war if he
wished, and then proposed
to draw a new and bitter
line of demarcation which
would intensify it in the Unit
ed Nations.
At one point in his speech
he held up the master key to
the whole world situation.
"We do not wish to force our
system on oth
er countries,"
he said, a con
tradiction of
everything for
which inter
national com
munism stands
a contradic
tion of what
he himself has
said repeated
ly. It would
have been a
world shattering statement
if he hadn't made it so many
times before, and if anybody
could believe it in the face of
Although the presidential election is more than eight
weeks away, the outcome may be determined Monday
evening when Vice President Richard M. Nixon and
Senator John F. Kennedy meet face-to-face in the first
of a series of nationally televised debates.
An estimated 40 million vot
ers will be huddled around
their TV sets watching and lis
tening to the two presidential
candidates as they discuss the
important issues of the day.
However, it . is unlikely that
any given issue, whether it be
the crucial foreign situation
or the complex problem of ag
riculture, will generate as
much voter interest as the
clash in personalities between
these two men.
Both men have demonstrat
ed an amazing ability to prcj

MYERS soning or ar

This V method of choosing a
president by personality is open
to conjecture, but surveys in
dicate that most people use per
sonality as the main criterion
in choosing their favorite can
didate.
The upcoming face-to-face
television debates will tend to
focus even more attention .on
the candidate's personality this
year than was done In prior
elections.
Before the innovation of
television, most voters' deci
sions were based upon news
paper articles about the candi
dates and a few radio ad
dresses. In the last few cam

what he has just been up to in
the Congo.
Before the cold war can end,
it will have to be said by some
one who means it and, more
over, someone with the power
to make it stick, which Khru
shchev has not, either in Mos
cow or Peiking.
Khrushchev cited the need
for independence of all nations
—in a cynical effort to retrive
the Soviet prestige lost in the
Congo affair but didn't of
fer it to the European captive
states.
There were numerous other
passages which sounded high
minded and conciliatory.
Then he got around to the
pique the Soviet Union has dis
played so clearly over the U.N.
intervention in the Congo,
which undercut her plainly re
vealed effort to add another
country to the captive list and
extend the cold war to Africa.
Eliminate the secretary-gen
eral's office in the U.N., he
said, and administer the work
of the organization by com

strictly drawn lines between
Communists, the nations align

administration. He used it welt
for his own personal aggran
dizement in the USSR after
Joseph Stalin's death, and now
it doesn't exist there any more
than in other places where it
has been tried.
Khrushchev knows that this
effort to draw fighting lines
in the U.N. will not be taken
seriously. But he had two mo
tives. By making it he struck
at Secretary - General Da g
Hammarskjold, who has just
received overwhelming small
nation support for his inter
pretation of Security Council
instruction regarding the Con
go.
Then he smoothed down the
small-nation feathers by pro
posing to give them ostensible
recognition as a force equal to
the two major contending
forces.
Some of the small nations
may fall for this pretense of
adding to the importance which
they expect to assume anyway
through their increased num
bers in the General Assembly.
But the odds are that, in the
competition between President
Eisenhower and Khrushchev
for small nation good will at
the outset of this assembly, the
President's list of achievable
objectives is way ahead
