City enforces Linden St. pa-rking ban
The university's two-man debate
squad of Joe Sweeney and
John Wills defeated the Marywood
College team last Friday
at the Marywood auditorium.
Topic for discussion was the
nation proposition: Resolved that
congress should be given the
power to reverse the decisions of .
the Supreme Court.
Balloting was done by members
of the Marywood stud~nt
body, who upheld the university's
affirmative position.
The semester's activities were
concluded yesterday with a
series of exhibitions with College
Misericordia. Results were not
available at press time.
The 1959 season has proven to
be one of the best in the history
of the society. All teams representing
the school have shown
much improvement in the application
of debate techniques and
have amassed an impressive
number of victori!,!s.
The most successful combination
has proven Sweeney and
Wills who have compiled a record
of 12-3, in defeating many
of the best teams in the best
tournaments in the east and
midwest.
John Wills, captain of the
negative team, has amassed four
best speaker awards and numerous
secondary awards as have
other members of the squad.

and Monroe Ave., site of the
present cafeteria.
The building will be three
stories high, and _will house 60
administrative offices as well as
30 classrooms. It will be contructed
in two wings.
One wing will be erected
parallel to Linden St. from the
corner of Monroe Ave., and will
extend to the court behind the
present B-building. The other,
or right wing, will be directly
adjacent to it, and will be
erected. on the present site of
B-biulding.
The building will be of similar
design, and general appearance
as the'Loyola HalL of Science, the
dormitory units, and the library
and student center, now under
construction.
Completion of a new classroom
building will mark the first time
the university will have permanent
class-room facilities on the
Linden St. campus. All uptown
campus classes have been conducted
in temporary barrackstype
structures since the main
campus was relocated after the
end of WW II.
Also included in the Development
Council's immediate
plans, is the erection of two
additional dormitory units adjacent
to the present structures
on Quincy Ave. ,
Completion of the drive is expected
to be made by early
Spring, when ground-breaking
will be held for the classroom
building.

During December, the team
fired in the Hearst Trophy

The team is inexperienced, but
its members are interested and,
according to team moderator,
SFC Richard L. Foster, are improving
with every match.
Members of the team sport
new blue blazers which they
wear to class Fridays. In addition
to the blazers, they will
, wear gold colored miniture rifles

identify them as members of the
team.
Leading marksmen are Jim

Parking on Linden St. in front
of the cafteria and B-building
will be prohibited in the near
future, according to Mr. John
Scott, Director of Public Safety.
The parking ban will have
been brought about by the city
on the recommendation of the
Student Council. In its last
meeting before the Christmas
recess, the council voted unanimously
to petition Scott for the
ban, in accordance with his request
that they approve the
action.
Agitation by members of the
stndent body thro.ugh the
council for stricter enforcement
of the speed limit on
,Linden St. is reported to be
the reason for the ban.
VVhen'approached by Student
Council Representative Bill
Dwyer, Scott agreed to, erect
"School Crossing" signs at the
intersection of Clay and Linden.
He pointed out that the signs
the city will erect have been
proved m 0 r e effective' than
stricter speed limits, and that
they will probably prove sufficient
to eliminate the danger to
students from speeding autos
during the breaks betw'een
classes.
In return for the city's cooperation
in the placement of such
signs, Scott requested that
Dwyer petition the council to request
the city to ban parking oli
the Southeasterly side of Linden
Street.
Scott pointed out that he
would rather have the sanction
of a studen,t government organization
before taking any action
of this type.
The reason for his request'
was: "The parked cars along
Linden st. obstruct the vision
of passing motorists, and present
a danger to the students
crossing between the cars to
the other side of the street."
Scott feels that the removal of
parked cars during school hours
coupled with the school crossing
signs will result in a decreased
hazard for students crossing
Liilden St. between classes. '
In discussion of the proposal, ,
the council decided the ban'
woilld effect only a few members
of the student body, as
. the ~inden St. parking spaces
are usually occupied by members
of the university maintenance
crew, and those employed
in nearby firms.
It is expected that the city will
take action on the double proposal
in the: near future.
