Trial Plan
For Parking
Set by Boro
By MOLLA EDELSTEIN
The State College Borough
Council last night passed a
resolution to discontinue the
use of onstreet parking meters
for a trial period of four
months from April 1 to Aug. 1
between the hours of 6 to 10
p.m.
This resolution will be used as
an experiment to see if it is pos
sible to meet the financial obli
gations that are now paid for by
the meter revenue. If they can be
met and the citizens are not de
prived of being able to find short
time parking space, Lune Hoff
man, council member, said the
resolution will be made perma
nent no later than Jan. 1, 1962.
If the financial expenses can
not be met, the meters will be put
back into use at the end of the
four month period.
The meters may still and prob
ably will be put into use during
these hours at the end of four
months, until the council revises
the budget for the year of 1962.
It would then be discontinued
permanently on Jan. 1, Hoffman
said.
in other business, the council
approved the 1961 budget, and
passed an ordinance setting the
tax levy at 5% mills, 5 for the
borough and for the library.
The council also passed a res
olution declaring Daylight Sav
ing Time to start on April 30 and
to end Oct. 29, 1961.
In a 15 minute speech, the rec
reation board presented a survey
they had made of the playgrounds
in and around the State College
area.

Haber Doubtful of Revision Deadline
The top SGA executive said
last night that he doubts SGA’s
reorganization committee will
meet the March 15 deadline
for preparing a skeleton form
of their plans.
Refusing to comment on the re
organization, SGA President
Richard Haber added that there
are "too many aspects of this
thing and too many people to con
vince for the committee to meet
this deadline.”
Duane Alexander, head of the
reorganization committee, dis
agreed with Haber when contact
ed last night and said "there won’t
be any problem in meeting this
deadline.’’

general has a role even at the
risk of displeasing many Asian-
African nations.
The snub came on the eve of
the resumption of the 99-nation
General Assembly, where the
Congo crisis is the No. 1 issue.
Soviet Foreign Minister An
drei A. Gromyko was joined in
the luncheon boycott by Bul
garia and Romania, the only
other Communist delegations
invited.
Ambassador Adlai E. Steven
son, chief U.S. delegate, had a 90-
minute breakfast session with
Nkrumah, who will put his plan
for an all-African U.N. Congo
command before the opening ses
sion this afternoon.
Afterward Nkrumah told re
porters: "Africans combined
supported by the United Nations
that’s the only way to save the
Congo.”
Stevenson then went to the
Soviet U.N. Mission for a 70-
minute private talk with Gro
myko.
A U.S. spokesman said their
talk dealt with issues before the
resumed session, but the spokes
man declined to go into any de
tails.
Events were shaping up for a
sharp U.N.-Soviet clash on the
Congo before the assembly.
The United States has made
clear its support for Hammar
skjold in his efforts to imple
ment last week's Security Coun
cil resolution empowering the
United Nations to use force if
necessary to slop civil war in
the Congo. Hammarskjold has
the responsibility to carry out
the resolution, which had over
whelming Asian-African sup
port.
The same resolution calls for
withdrawal of all Belgian military
and semimilitary personnel, Bel
gian political advisers to Congo
lese authorities, and foreign mer
cenaries.
But Belgium's U.N. Ambassa
dor Walter Lorlfian has informed
Hammarskjold that his country
cannot compel Belgians serving
with foreign troops in the Congo
to get out.

for a finalizing meeting with
the University Senate sub-
Commiiiee on Organizational
Control.
Alexander said last week his
student committee and the Sen
ate Sub-Committee had been
working closely on reorganiza
tion.
The sub-committee serves
mainly in an advisory capacity
and is a "partial influence on the
student committee, giving us
ideas we didn’t think of ourselves
or a basic point we overlooked,”
he said.
Alexander said his student
committee will meet tomorrow
night and that he will meet with
Haber after the committee
meeting.

Forms Being Made
For Bookstore Poll
Final forms are now being compiled for questionnaires
which will be distributed on the bookstore, according to
Philip Steinhauer, chairman of the SGA Bookstore Com
mittee.
Steinhauer said questions
pilot survey made last Friday.
The six questions used .on the
pilot forms were chosen to de
termine the need for a bookstore,
what students expect in a book
store and what problems they
have encountered in purchasing
books, Steinhauer said. He would
not reveal what the questions are.
For the final forms, some of
the original pilot questions may
be used, Steinhauer said, while
others may be combined or re
vised.
Over 1000 students will be se
lected at random to fill out the
questionnaires, Steinhauer said.
They will receive them in the
mail, he said.
Steinhauer said the committee
decided to use the random sur
vey idea because it insures ac
curacy in getting a cross-section
of student views.
The students contacted will be
chosen by the most "scientific
method," he said.
For the pilot survey, during
which 70 forms were distribut
ed, students were also stopped
at random and asked to com
plete the forms, Steinhauer
said.
Seven people distributed ten
forms each at locations around
campus, Steinhauer said.
He stressed that the pilot sur
vey was only conducted to test
the validity of the proposed ques
tions for the final form. No statis
tics on student opinion on the
need for a bookstore or their prob
lems in purchasing books were
tabulated from the pilot forms,
Steinhauer said.
No specific date has been set
for distributing the question
naires, Steinhauer said, but the
committee hopes to complete
them in the near future.
