Problems Aired At Encampment While the majority of Penn State students were preparing to journey to campus, 125 student leaders, members of the faculty and administration, and borough leaders last Thursday, Friday, and Sat urday discussed campus problems at the second annual encampment at Mont Alto. ' The encampment opened Thursday afternoon with a welcome to the delegates by All-College President Richard Lemyre and President Milton S. Eisenhower, who called the encampment "the most valuable institution an d practice at Penn State." "I hope 25 years from now we'll be -hold ing our 27th encampment," he told delegates. In a short talk, Dr. Eisenhower told student leaders the more re sponsibility they redeem, the more responsibility the College will delegate to them. Prexy Explains Powers He said the College must pro tect a good relationship with the citizens, who support the College through their taxes. "We live in a glass house and all people of Pennsylvania are watching us," Dr. Eisenhower said, Prexy explained how power is delegated from the all-powerful Board of Trustees to the faculty and to student government. To make the power of student gov ernment effective, the adminis tration must be able to back the will of students, he said. "The administration and faculty will delegate all power that is feasible to the students," Dr. Eisenhower concluded. Delegates attended the 13 work shops to which they had been assigned and discussed campus problems. The f i r s t workshop Thursday afternoon was used by the various groups to acquaint themsqlves with the problems and draw up final agenda for discus sion topics.
