mumt C Stm m » » NTATIO Getting a parking ticket has always been a frustrating experience at Penn State. In recent years, changes in the parking code have en- abled the University to minimize the number of one of its major offenders - the unregis- tered parker. The extensive abuse of parking privileges on campus by both visitors and students has resulted in the introduction of a magistrate's citation, explained Roy L. Hen- ry, student parking and traffic coordinator. The citation means a 25 dollar fine for the operator of an unregistered vehicle which has been parked on campus, Henry said. To avoid this fine, a student can register his car at the Student Traffic Violation Office in the HUB or at registration at the beginning of each term. Freshmen are not permitted to keep cars on campus without special per- mission from the office. A student who has illegally parked a regis- tered vehicle will be fined from one to ten dollars depending on the number of viola- tions he's accumulated during the term, Hen- ry said. The student may appeal if he feels the violation has been issued unjustly. If a student re uses to pay a ticket, he will be denied any requests for official transcripts, will not be allowed to register for the follow- ing term, or if it's his final term, will not be permitted to graduate. — Jake Zagozewski

After three years of studying at Puttee, seniors may have finally felt they hud mastered the library's complex shelving system. But fall term presented a surprise to these and to other students — Puttee Library had undergone a minor face lift. The Undergraduate Library, housed in Pattee's west wing, was eliminated, and volumes of literature were shelved in its place. Life sciences were expanded to include the second floor of the cast wing, and the social sciences grew to include more space within the old stacks. According to Murrey S. Martin. Associate Dean of Libraries, there were two major reasons for these changes. The first and more important of the two. Martin said, was the rapid growth in three major areas of the library's collection: literature, life sciences, and the social sciences. Each year the library adds close to 50,000 books to its collection, a total equivalent to almost a mile of shelving. he said. The main bulk of these volumes are in these three areas. A second reason for the changes was discovered after a review of the library’s structure. It was concluded that there was no longer adequate rationale for a separate section of the library designated for undergraduate study, Martin said. After this decision was reached, books from the Undergraduate Library were intershelved among the stacks, he added. Such a step allows for three to four years breathing space in the library's literature collection. Several other changes are now in the planning stages. Possibly these future renovations will allow the library to meet its ever-increasing needs for additional space, Martin said. - Cheryl J.
