PAGE FOUR ditorial Opinion They Think So, Too The results of the latest survey taken by the SGA Committee on Traffic Code Investigation, indicate that even the faculty and staff feel that the HUB parking lot should he opened to students. The committee selected every 50th name from the faculty-staff directory. Of these 73 names, 29 could not be contacted. the pollees were asked if they drive, if they think the HUB lot should be opened on week nights after 5:30, and if they had any comment. .Of the 44 faculty and staff members contacted, 10 said they were indifferent or had no opinion. Of the 34 who gave a decision, 30, or 88%, said they faiored opening the lot to students and 4 or 12;,. said they did not think the lot should be operied to students. Eyidently faculty and staff, just like the students, cannot figure .out why the lot next to the student union building should . be closed to students when it stands 3 / 4 empty every week night, Several pollees commented that the HUB is the stu dent's building, and they should be able to use the lot. Others added the qualification that space should also be reserved for faculty, staff and visitors. Recent sUrvevs of the use of the' HUB lot indicate that this need would - require only 1 / 4 of the spaces avail able. One faculty member said that it wouldn't hurt - some one to walk from downtown State College or its equiva lent to campus. This seems Jrrelevant to the point when approximat6ly 162 parking spaces are standing empty each night. According to its chairman, the SGA committee will recommend in its report to assembly tonight that the HUB lot be opened on a trial basis to student cars with green or yellow stickers after 5:30 p.m. Sunday through Thurs day. The committees's studies certainly justify such a trial. If no Assemblyman raises his little hand tonight making a motion that a trial period be recommended to the administration, Assembly will be- ignoring its duty. An Affair of the Heart It touched us to hear the plea of New Orleans' mayor deLesseps, S. Morrison for .a three-day moratorium on news coverage of this city's school desegregation contro versy after the decline in tourist trade and business started affecting the city's .economy. Morrison indicated that the press coverage has had a catalystic effect on the anti-integration demonstrations and has given the nation the general impression that New Orleans is in a sea of turmoil and violence. "This is very bad for business and tourist trade and it is a damage that we are suffering completely without fault on our part," he said. Without fault? "I know this is a rather unusual request," Morrison said, "but believe me, it comes from the heart of a public official who has spent most of his life frying to build the economy and.the good name of New Orleans." And just where was Morrison's heart when Negro school children in his city were being denied equal rights to education?

This narrow margin would probably tempt some Southern electors to cast their, votes for someone other than the Massa chusetts Senator. If this should happen and Kennedy fails to get enough votes to win, the contest would be thrown into the House of Representatives where each state would possess one vote. Although Kennedy would probably emerge the winner if such a situation should occur, the confusion and "deals" necessary to secure this victory would greatly weaken the early months of the new ad ministration, If this series of confusing Letters ISAConstitution,Activities TO THE EDITOR: We, the In dependent Students of the Pennsylvania State University campus, in order to plan, pro mote, and execute campus wide Independent social and service activities, do ordain and establish this constitution.

Observers at the United Nations have had this thought in mind for some time, and es pecially since th e United States has been placing ROBERTS more emphasis on the organi zation as providing the ma chinery for doing things, as in the Congo, as well as supply ing a forum where world opinion can be focused. The major vote of the assem by this year 70.0 against the Soviet Union attempt to block U.N. action in the Congo in September suggests that the time when the West will lose its so-called automatic major ity on cold war issues is not in sight.
