University Keeps
Parking Rules
■ > c
The “status quo” on the regulations for student parking will be maintained, accord
ing to the reevaluation study on parking issued yesterday by Albert E. Diem, vice presi
dent for business affairs.
Diem’s statement, which was issued after he had left for Massachusetts late Wednesday
evening, stated that “students can best protect their present privileges by accommodating
themselves to existing rules and
regulations and not seeking con
stantly to achieve better condi
tions at the expense of others.”
The statment added that “a
thorough-going study, demon
strated to his complete satisfac
tion that present rules and regu
lations were in the best interests
of the University. In lot 23” (the
lot adjacent to the Hetzel Union
Building), he continued, "where
students have requested night
time privileges, 216 spaces can
bring no relief to the student
body, but are helpful to faculty
and guests.”
Stanley H. Campbell, direc
tor of special projects for busi
ness affairs said, when ques
tioned yesterday, that almost
one-fourth of the HUB parking
area is filled each night.
Diem’s statement added that
overloading of this area by stu :
dents at night would create new
hazards, interfere with traffic
flow on Shortlidge Rd., and ne
cessitate extensive enforcement.
In reaction to the request of lo
cal and commuting students for
parking facilities closer to cen
tral campus, Diem said the sug
gested alternatives are not fea
sible “for a variety of reasons in
cluding enforcement” and that
"this added expense is not war
ranted by the walking distance
involved.
"If should be obvious io
most." the statement said "that
it is becoming increasingly dif
ficult to drive anywhere on cen
tral campus." He added that "to
open mid-campus'parking lots,
io studenis would increase our
enforcement problems without
bringing significant relief, and
most certainly would hasten the
day when the whole inner cam
pus would be closed to traffic."
The statment pointed out that
the mid-campus lots, which are
now occupied by faculty, staff
and guests, represent only 1,000
spaces. Student cars number over
3,000,
Diem predicted that periphery
parking would increase' steadily
during the next few years and
added that “the University no
longer has any choice except to
move toward a permanent solu
tion of this problem as rapidly
as it can.
"Stop-gap measures serve only
to postpone the inevitable and
make it all the more difficult to
go where we know we must go
eventually,” the statement con
cluded.
Silva Analyzes National Vote
By LYNNE CEREFICE
President-elect John F. Ken
nedy rode to victory on the
“coat tails” of his congres
sional running mates, accord
ing to Dr. Ruth C. Silva, pro
fessor of political science.
“Kennedy-ran on a strong-tick
et,” Miss Silva said. Outside the
Eastern States—New York, Penn
sylvania, . Rhode Island, Massa
chusetts and Connecticut—the
congressional candidates in the
remaining states were responsible
for his victory, she said.
“Generally, the rest of the
Democratic ticket did far better
than Kennedy," Miss Silva ex
plained.

SGA Hears
Prexy Talk
On 4 Terms
By BARB YUNK
A four term system has
been planned to gear students
to the nation’s stepped-up pace
rather than simply to utilize
the University’s physical plant
all year, President Eric A.
Walker said last night.
Speaking to the SGA Assembly,
Walker said, “I don’t think you
can any longer afford to go to
school for four years. Things will
get too far ahead of you.”
A physicist in his 30’s won the
Nobel Prize for an idea he got at
the age of 28 and the president
elect is 43 years old, Walker said.
“Young people are marrying
earlier, getting jobs earlier, start
ing careers earlier,” he continued,
"we’ve just got to keep up.”
Walker said that, aside from
the full usage of the physi
cal plant, the student has a sound
'economic reason for condensing
his education into a shorter pe
riod. A student may work for $1
an hour at a summer job, he said,
but may earn $5OO a month at a
permanent job after graduation.
It would be better, he said, to at
tend classes during the summer
and get the higher salary a year
sooner.
- Walker suggested that students
make definite plans over the
Thanksgiving vacation in order to
aid the University in determining
;how many students to plan for in
I the summer 'term.
SGA Restricts
Compensations
To 3 Positions
The hassle over the 1960-61 SGA budget finally ended last
night but not before the compensations section had under
gone a drastic change.
SGA Assembly decided to compensate only the SGA offi
cers, that is, SGA president, vice president and secretary-
treasurer. No other specific of
fices or positions will have com
pensations.
Originally, according to the
budget presented, the senior class
president, elections commission
chairmen, orientation week chair
men, student handbook chairman
and business manager and the
spring week chairman and busi
ness manager would have re
ceived compensations of $5O each.
However, Assembly approved
a molion.by Judith High (C.-Sr.)
to have 12 floating scholarships
at $5O to replace specific com
pensations.
The floating scholarships may
be applied for by SGA personnel
and will be given oh the basis of
overall contribution to the Uni
versity.
. The decision to make the
change in the allotment of money
came only after a vigorous de
bate. After Miss High’s motion,
William Fuller, director of asso
ciated student activities and ad
visor to SGA, said that "cutting
out the specific compensations
would be cutting out the incentive
for the particular jobs.”
Agreeing with Fuller, Jac- j
queline Leavitt (U.-Sr.) said, j
"Last year they had great dif
ficulty getting a spring week
chairman. Somewhere there has |
got to be- incentive for these !
large jobs." i
Marilee Grabill (U.-Jr.) favored
scholarships saying, “There will
still be the incentive because the
chairman of these various activ
ities will know that if a good job
is done there will be the possibil
ity of a scholarship. Under the old
plan, the scholarship is there, re
gardless.
■ Judith Weiss (U.-Jr.) objected
to the floating scholarship plan
on the basis that a good cross sec
tion of applicants would be impos
sible and the system is ideal but
not feasible.
Assembly approved the float
ing scholarships by a 22-11 vote
but did not discuss the committee
which would decide who would
get the scholarships .

—President-elect John F. Ken
nedy quickly accepted yester
day an invitation for an early
meeting with President Eisen
hower to arrange an orderly
transfer of government power.
Kennedy disclosed this at a
swiftly-paced news conference at
which he named Clark M. Clif
ford, Washington lawyer, and
former special counsel to Presi
dent Harry S. Truman, as his
representative in co-ordinating
arrangements.
And, in rapid-fire succession, he
told reporters in the crowded Na
tional Guard Armory in this Cape
jCod community that both J. Ed
gar Hoover, long time director of
the Federal Bureau of Investiga
tion, and Allen W. Dulles, direc
tor of the Central Intelligence
Agency, have acceded to his 'per
sonal request that they stay on in
those key jobs.
Kennedy picked Theodore Sor
enson of Lincoln, Neb., a key fig
ure in his victorious campaign or

of special counsel to the presi
