Says School
Must Meet
Obligations
By JACK REID
President Milton S. Eisenhower
told faculty members yesterday
that student conduct at the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania-P e n
State football game was evidence
to some degree that the College
was not meeting its educational
responsibility.
Speaking on faculty and Col
lege affairs before a faculty meet
ing in Schwab Auditorium yester
day afternoon, Eisenhower stated:
"Behavior such as this, while
being primarily a reflection on
the students themselves and on
their pre-college training, is to
some degree at least evidence
that the Pennsylvania State Col
lege is not meeting its educational
responsibility in full measure."
"By no means am I suggest
ing," Eisenhower continued, "that
faculty and administration can or
should accept responsibility for
all the 'individual and group ac
tions of students, wherever they
may • be. What I am suggesting,"
he said, "is that the behavior of
any appreciable number of stu
dents has a relation to our educa
tional program."
Appeals Before Game ,
Commenting upon conduct at
last year's game, Eisenhower said,
"At Pittsburgh and Philadelphia
last year, following football vic
tories, a small minority of Penn
State 'students . ' behaved in ways
that did not reflect credit on
themselves, their families, their
fellow students, or on this great
institution. There was some dis
turbance and property damage in
the hotels where this minority of
students stayed."
Eisenhower then commented on
this year's conduct:
"The director of student -affairs,
the dean of men, the dean of
women, and student leaders urged
students, prior to the recent game
with the University of Pennsyl
vania,' not to engage again in such
conduct. Appeals were made
through the Collegian and through
student organizations."
"But following the game with
the University, a minority of stu

ter arts and letters major, was

State Party platform committee.
Sinclair yesterday 'named Ells
worth Smith, fifth semester agri
cultural economics major, finan

fifth semester arts and letters ma
jor, publicity manager; and Carl
Saperstein, third semester arts
and letters major, and Ross Clark,
fifth semester commerce major,

Students wishing to work for
the State Party will be given
preference in nominations, White
told the clique. A high percen
tage of committee chairmanships
will be given freshman, he said.
White said _everyone requesting
a committee appointment has
been given it. Persons appointed
will be contacted within a week
by the clique secretary, and, will
be given more specific informa
tion about their duties, he said.
