Cooperation. Sought For
Administration And Staff
Calling for more effective cooperation between administration
and staff, President Milton S. Eisenhower outlined a series of pro
posed reorganizations at the second annual faculty-trustee dinner
last night.
The dinners are sponsored by the faculty-trustee committee of ]
American Association of University Professors. Special guest
at last night’s banquet, held at
the Nittany Lion Inn, was Martin
D. Whitaker, president of Lehigh
university and of the Pennsyl
vania Association of Colleges and
Universities.
President Eisenhower, in ex
plaining the need for better co
operative procedures between
faculty and administration, point
ed out that proposed draft and
universal 'military training meas
ures might affect the lives of col
lege-age men for a generation to
come. He outlined the possible
dangers of this system to Amer
ican life.
Groups Review
Collegian Boost
Heads of organizations repre
sented on All-College cabinet
were asked yesterday to consult
their groups concerning the Daily
Collegian’s proposal for an in
crease in its student assessment.
The Collegian will ask cabinet
at its next meeting for an in
crease in the assessment of a 35
cents per semester in order to
expand its news content.
Dean Gladfelter, editor, called
for a discussion of the proposal
within,.the various organizations
so some student opinion will be
available when the proposal is
brought before cabinet. He said
the proposal must be passed at
two cabinet meetings and stu
dents have two chances to appear
before cabinet to express their
opinions.
The proposal is being announc
ed before it is presented to cab
inet meeting so that students will
have time to think over and dis
cuss the proposed increase, ac
cording to Gladfelter.
The Collegian will ask cabinet
to recommend to the College
board of trustees that the present
assessment of 75 cents per person
each semester be increased to
$l.lO.
Enlarging the assessment
should pay for increasing costs
of publication and permit publica
tion of an eight-page paper daily,
Gladfelter said.
I Criminalistics' Lecture
Dr. Mary L. Willard, of the
School of Chemistry and Physics,
will give an illustrated lecture at
the Liebig Chemical society busi
ness meeting in 105 Frear, at 7:30
p.m. next Tuesday.
The lecture on "Criminalistics
—The Science of Crime Detec
tion” will begin at 8:30 p.m. Re
freshments will be served

Enrollments Decrease
“I fear university enrollments
permanently would be a fraction
of what they are now, andj am
completely convinced that it
would be this fact, and not mili
tary service in itself, which would
lead to the most serious conse
quences,” he said.
A partial remedy for this
thfeat, advanced by the President,
would be to allow men to select
which two years between 18 and
26 they would prefer to give to
UMT. Present tentative plans call
for automatic service from 18 to
20.
To facilitate the cooperation re
quired by this and other prob
lems, President Eisenhower pro
posed setting up a faculty group
of-between 15 and 25 members to
counsel the administration on ma
jor legislative, policy, and admin
istrative matters.
Advisory Council
“This group—possibly named
the ‘College Advisory council’
and probably elected by the fac
ulties of the schools on a basis
of proportional representation—
should make studies and formu
late recommendations on its own
motion or at the request of the
administration,” he said.
President Eisenhower also ad
vocated a series of inter-school
committees, each operating in a
single major field, to recommend
changes required by the College’s
education program, and to define
educational goals.

With the game shifted to Forbes
field because of the failure to
clear Pitt stadium, the Lions will
not have to worry about the sta
dium jinx that has plagued them
down through the years. Al
though 41 of the 49 games played
to date have t;aken place in Pitt
stadiuni, the Lions have won but
11. Two have ended in ties.
Penn State, trailing in the ser
ies with only 18 wins against 29
losses, will be seeking its first
victory over the Panthers since
1947, when the Cotton Bowl

Cabinet To Hold
Thursday Meeting
With Eisenhower
All-College cabinet will hold
a non-business meeting at the
home of President Milton S.
Eisenhower Thursday night, ac
cording to Emerson Jones, All-
College sec retary-treasurer,
speaking for Robert Davis, All-
College president, who has not
yet returned from the Thanks
giving vacation.
President Eisenhower had or
iginally invited cabinet to his
home for last Thursday night but
the meeting was canceled be
cause weather conditions last
weekend had kept many cabinet
members from returning to cam
pus.
Cabinet will • bring the Presi
dent up to date on past cabinet
actions and discuss future plans
with him. The group had a simi
lar meeting with the President
in October.
Jones could not say when cab
inet would hold its next business
meeting. He said, however, that
two things definitely on the
agenda would be the request by
the Daily Collegian for an in
crease in its student assessment
from 76 cents - per person each
semester to $l.lO and a report by
the Christmas lawn display com
mittee.
