State Traffc Commsson Approves Traffc Lght For Mohegan Ave. Entrance, Mr. Corbn Lyman, Connectcut College busness manager, sad Thursday that the State Traffc Commsson has approved the nstallaton of "some knd of traffc lght" at the college entrance on Mohegan Avenue. "We expect the lght wll be nstalled wthn the next few weeks," he sad, notng that the specfc type of lght wll depend upon the suggeston of the traffc engneer. The Connectcut College admnstraton requested that a traffc lght be placed n ths locaton n overnber, 1964. The applcaton had to be approved by the Cty of New London, the State Hghway Department and the State Traffc Commsson. Mr. Lyman sad t appears. at the present tme, that the cty and the state wll share the cost of the lght. When asked about the possblty of a cat-walk or tunnel for crossng Mohegan Avenue, Mr. Lyman repled that he could not make a statement about the future. He sad he feels certan, however, that "a traffc lght s the best way to cope wth the stuaton at the present tme." The comments made last week by a member of the mathematcs department. ndcated faculty nterest n the Mohegan Avenue stuaton. Mr. Ernest Schlesnger, assocate professor of mathematcs, who lves on Mohegan Avenue, sad the best soluton would be a seres of traffc lghts synchronzed to keep the speed lmt at 35 mles per hour. "A sngle lght, actvated by pedestrans, mght ether be gnored or tend to gve pedestrans a false sense of securty," he sad. Resdents, he contnued have long feared that a speedng car mght jump the curb. He added, however, that the problem concerns not only pedestrans but also resdents of Mohegan Avenue and the sde streets. These people often experence dffculty n easng nto the Bow of traffc. Consequently, he sad, the soluton les not n mere polce patrol but rather n effectve twenty-four hour protecton. A recent Conn Census survey revealed a number of facts concernng the amount of student pedestran traffc n the area. Betty Brahler, house presdent of Vnal Cottage, estmated that the 13 students lvng n ths house cross Mohegan Avenue between sx and twelve tmes per day. Several students lvng n Emly Abbey House stated that each of the 28 students lvng there makes fve to seven complete trps per day between the dorm and the man campus. A statstcal survey made of student traffc between man campus and Holmes Hall has revealed that the 78 students enrolled n Musc 109 could make as many as 624 crossngs of Mohegan Avenue durng the week. That s, f every one of these students attended au three weekly meetngs of the class and made one trp to the musc buldng to lsten to requred recordngs, the above total would be accurate n ndvdual crossngs of the street. Regstraton n the Musc Department's courses, housed n Holmes Hall, totals 178 grls n eght classes. There are, n addton, 50 students enrolled n appled musc courses. Mr. Wllam Dale, Assocate Professor of Musc, ponted out that many of these student trps occur at dusk or after dark. The buldng s open three nghts a week untl 9: 15 p.m. for lstenng purposes. Mr. Dale stressed the need for traffc lghts on Mohegan Avenue n front of Emly Abbey, as well as at the top of Deshon Street, whch leads to Holmes Hall. A. sgn6cant number of grls from the South Campus and those who rde bcycles to class, he sad, often cross Mohegan Avenue at Deshon Street, nstead of at the man gate. Mr. Dale also ponted out that the absence of sdewalks on the east sde of Mohegan Avenue (Contnued on Page 2, Col. 5) CONNCENSUS CONNECTCUT COlLEGE Vol. 50 No. 39 New London, Connectcut, Monday February 21, 1966 Prce 10 cents Dean of Cambrdge Theologcal School To Be Speaker At Sunday Vespers Dr. Bower Publshes Mathematcs graduated cum laude from Unon Theologcal Semnary.

The play s set n an alley n contemporary New York and concerns three women n pursut of somethng, perhaps each other. Helen commented that the play mght be descrbed as "theater of the absurd."

The senor class s defendng the prze cup whch t has held for two consecutve years.
