Segregation Report Is Requested
WASHINGTON, May 18 (2?)—
President Eisenhower today asked
for progress reports on coming
moves to , end public school segre-:
gation in the - District of Columbia.
Officials said the capital's school
system may be made a sort of
pilot model to help 'g u i d e the
states in the historic switchover.
Many Southern leaders are up
in arms against -the Supreme
Court's ruling that it is unconsti
tutional to educate white and Ne
gro children in separate public
schools. Some have come cloSe to
open defiance of the decision.
'Eisenhower talked at the White
House with the Board of Commis
sioners .for the District of Colum
bia. Afterward Samuel Spencer,
'president of the board, reported

Eisenhower, is on record as favor

successful plans are made for an
integrated system in the District
it might serve to smooth the way
for the changeover elsewhere.
Farther south, in Georgia par
ticularly, the court's ruling was
repeatedly challenged.
Georgia's attorney general, Eu
gene Cook, charged the court with
usurping legislative power and
said he 'would refuse to partici

the anti-segregation policy will
be applied.

STATE COLLEGE, PA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, MAY 19, 1954
Chapel Stall
Is Implied
By Gladys
Eugene Gladys, president of
Vitruvius Society, one of five
campus groups which sponsored
petitions asking for a contempor
ary design for the All-Faith chap
el, said yesterday he felt the
University Board of •Trustees
were stalling by postponing action
on the chapel's final design.
Gladys added he felt nothing
could ,be reached by preparing
more sketcheS of various styles.
The final design for the chapel
will be selected at a later meet
ing.
Two hundred petitions, spon
sored by Scarab, architecture hon
orary, Pi Gamma Alpha, fine arts
honorary, student c
.h apt e r of
American Institute of Architects,
VitruVius Society. a colony of Al
pha Rho Chi, social fraternity,
and the Art Education Student
Forum, were circulated in April.
The five organizations also sent
letters to architecture alumni,
asking for support for the con
temporary design. Five thousand
signatures were collected on the
petitions, which were presented
to Kenneth Erfft, assistant comp
troller.
Eleven of 12 students polled by
the Daily Collegian inquiring re
porter favored the contemporary
design for the All-Faith Chapel,
over the Georgian mode. •
Architects will be directed to
prepare more sketches of various
styles of architecture ,and to re
port back to the committee at a
later date. The trustee commit
tee on . architecture is now consid
ering • sketches of contemporary as
well as traditional design.
Hohe Is Reported
In Good Condition
Kenneth Hohe, fourth semester
dairy husbandry major, was re
ported in good condition at the
University Hospital yesterday by
Dr. Herbert R. Glenn, director of
the University health service.
Hohe struck his head on the
bottom of Whipple Dam about
4:30 p.m. Sunday. He said he felt
no bad effects until a few hours
later when a slight pain in his
neck began to bother him. When
the pain became more severe he
was taken to the University Hos
pital. He was admitted at 10 p.m.
Sunday.
General Beaver Exhibit
An exhibit, shOwing the devel
opment of Beaver Field and the
life of General James Acldams
Beaver. who at one time was pres
ident of the Board of Trustees, is
currently ' displayed in the two
show cases on the second floor of
the Pattee Library.
M. D. Collins, superintendent of
Georgia's public schools, predicted
it will be half a century before
segregation is ended in his state
—"if then."
Gov. Herman Talmadge of
Georgia denounced the ruling and
called a meeting of a State Com
mission for May 25 to devise legal
means of sidestepping it.
In a speech to the House, Rep.
Forrester (D.-Ga.) asserted the
court made a "completely politi
cal" decision which "wiped out
every vestige of state rights."
It means "The old fashioned-
Y a n k e e and the old fashioned
Southerner, whose ancestors won
this - country . . . are completely
without rights," he said.
Forrester also contended the de
cision : means = that laws against
mixed marriages can now be an
nuled. He said the ruling points
to "nothing less than mongreliz
ing Ofthe races."

Campus Chest
Receipts Total
Over $lO,OOO
'The addition of money collected in the Ugly Man contest brings
the total receipts of the 1953-54 Campus Chest to $10,394.52, Richard
Gibbs, retiring chairman, announced yesterday.
_ Gibbs will make his official report on the program, including
the break-down of allotments, at the next Cabinet meeting.
Ellsworth Smith, next year's
chairman, said next year's drive
would begin early in the fall.
Under a tentative plan worked
out with Luther Harshbarger,
University Chaplain, money will
be allocated to the newly pro
posed University Christian Associ
ation and it would divide the
funds among th ePenn State
Christian Association, Newman
Club, and Hillel.,
Drive Collects Bulk
The Campus Chest solicitations
drive last fall, which collected
money from 55 per cent of the
students and 51 per cent of the
faculty, netted $7,602.81—the bulk
of the total receipts.
The Ugly' Man contest, spon
sored during Spring 'Week by Al
pha Phi Omega, national men's
service fraternity, brought $1218.-
77. The Kickoff Rally dance in
the fall brought $934.68; the Kap
pa Kappa Gamma-Pi Beta Phi
Powder Bowl netted $456.26; and
the raffle on dates to the IFC-
Panhel Ball brought $72.
Approximately 450 students and
faculty helped in the solicitations
drive. Because of the time and
bookwork involved, soliciting was
done on the basis of cash rather
than pledges. Two years ago con
tributions pledged by students
were added to their spring semes
ter fees.
Goes to II Groups
Campus Chest money was dis
tributed among 11 charity groups
on a designation and percentage
basis. The contributor could des
ignate his money for a particular
group. After the designated mon
ey was distributed, the planning
committee distributed the rest ac
cording to prescribed percentage.

and percentages was:

Silence Maintained
On AIM Lawsuit
Future developments of a threatened lawsuit against the Associ
ation of Independent Men will not be released by AlM's two advisers
and its president, Robert Dennis, unless the case is taken to court.
The decision was made at a meeting of the three yesterday,
according to one of the advisers, James W. Dean, assistant to the dean
of men in charge of independent
affairs. The other adviser of AIM
is Ross B. Lehman, assistant ex
ecutive secretary of the Alumni
Association.
'Decision Best for Air
"We feel this decision is best
for all 'concerned," Dean said.
The affair in question began
last Wednesday when Dennis re
ceived a letter threatening AIM
with a suit for $1132.17 because
of damages allegedly done to
vending machines in the Nittany
Dorms in 1950.
The letter came from Edward
L. Willard, a member of the local
law firm of Willard and Dunaway
which is representing Edward• H.
Adamitz, a borough resident who
is owner of the vending machines.
Adamitz has claimed that AIM
is responsible for the alleged
damage because of a contract
which he said he entered into with
Nittany Council, a subsidiary of
AIM. Adamitz said the contract
held Nittany Council responsible
for any damage done.
Questions Unanswered
Lehman, Dennis, and Dean
have declined to comment on
whether Adamitz is considering
actually filing suit and if so when
the suit will be filed. They have
also -refused to -say what steps .

Fall Timetable
Sale Changed,
Set for August
Complete, timetables for stu
dents will not be published until
August, Ray V. Watkins, schedul
ing office; announced yesterday.
Watkins said• the change in pol
icy over previous years is to re
duce the corrections which had to
be made in September wh en
timetables were released in June.
A timetable of courses, sections,
and meetings of classes will be
published for instructors, Watkins
said. These timetables will be
available to students at the Pat
tee Library, in instructors' offices,
and in dormitory counselors' and
hostesses' - rooms.
Last September, Watkins ex'-
plained, a 26-page supplement had
to be published to enumerate the
changes which had been made in
the timetable over the summer.
He said the new plan of publish
ing timetables will give the sched
uling office an opportunity to
make the changes in faculty and
other changes which might be
made 'by University Senate ac
tion in June.
The timetable which will be
available to students in August
will contain the courses, sections,
meetings of classes, instructors,
and rooms.
Students may obtain timetables
this summer by writing to the
Scheduling offi c e, 4 Willard.
Twenty-five cents will be re
quired to cover the cost of the
timetable and mailing costs.
AIM is contemplating through its
advisers. Lehman was adviser to
AIM in 1950.
The three have maintained si
lence on whether the contract be
tween Adamitz and Nittany Coun
cil has been produced, and wheth
er such a contr a c t, allowing
commercial vending machines in
the dormitories, could be • con
chided without the express ap
proval of an administration of
ficial.
They have also refused to say
whether such a contract which
would place responsibility for
damages to the machines on AIM
or on the University could pos
sibly be concluded.
