MILFORD, Del., Sept. 24 (A>)—
Gov. J. Caleb Boggs today isized

The governor spoke out in a
taut situation in this southeastern
Delaware community over the
first admittance of Negro pupils
to the town’s only high school.

Boggs said in a statement issued
at the state capital in nearby Do

regardless of his personal views,
to see that law and order and

Boggs issued his statement fol
lowing a decision by the state
Board of Education to operate
Milford schools, starting Monday,
without racial segregation. The
state board acted after the Milford
school directors resigned en masse
last night. Both state and local
boards favored compliance with
the U.S. Supreme Court ruling
forbidding racial segregation in
public schools.
“I must say frankly that law
and order will be preserved under
the law and the American way,”
Boggs said. “I know that the citi
zens of Milford and Delaware will
have it no other way.”

FOR A BETTER PENN STATE
3d Political Patty
May Appear
On Campus Scene
By MIKE FEINSILBER
Rumors of the creation of a
third political party have circulat
ed on campus this week, adding
impetus to political activity which
will formally get underway at
meetings tomorrow night.
With both Lion and State par
ties scheduling meetings to in
troduce freshmen to campus poli
tics, talk of the formation of a
“Nittany Party” has caught the
interest of upperclassmen as well.
John Lyon, former State Party
vice clique chairman, who has
been linked with the rumors,
withheld comment for publica
tion. He neither confirmed nor de
nied that the Nittany Party wpuld
also hold a meeting tomorrow
night.
Lyon, however, did say there
would possibly be a meeting of
freshmen, completely apart from
the meetings scheduled by State
and Lion parties. The place where
the meeting will be held was not
announced.
During the past week, there has
also been whispers of creating
other “third” parties on campus,
but sources were reluctant to re
veal plans.
A third party—if one is created
—will be nothing new to the cam
pus political scene. In the past,
new parties have been formed,
and later replaced the established
parties.
Tomorrow night’s meetings will
primarily be aimed at creating
freshman cliques in the State and
Lion parties. Rae DelleDonne,
who was elected State Party
clique chairman Wednesday
night, called a meeting at 7 p.m.
tomorrow in 10 Sparks.
The Lion Party freshman meet
ing will be held at 7 p.m. in 121
Sparks.
State Party
Doubted by
The All-University Elections Committee was asked last nigfrv
to declare Wednesday’s election of Rae DelleDonne as State Party
clique chairman “null and void.”
Rudolph Lutter, former sophomore class clique chairman of the
State Party, placed a two-page statement in the hands of Ernest
Famous, chairman of the elec
tions committee, making the re
quest.
Famous last night called a spe
cial committee meeting to con
sider the request. The group will
meet at 2 p.m. tomorrow at Kap
pa Delta Rho.
Grounds for nulifying the elec
tion of Miss DelleDonne, Lutter
stated, were that the election of
her and other clique officers
Wednesday night “were in direct
conflict with the spirit of the All-
University -Election Codq as set
forth in Article 11, Section 7, and
the American tradition of democ
racy,”
This portion of the code states:
'Spirit Of Code'
“The elections committee re
serves the right to act upon any
campaign method which it con
siders to be a violation of the
spirit of the elections code.”
This statement appears in both
the old elections code, which was
in effect when Miss Della Donne
was elected, and the new perma
nent code passed by All-Univer
sity Cabinet Thursday night.
Miss DelleDonne could, not be.
NSA, Others .
To Compose
Service Group
An All-University Cabinet
services committee and a secre
tarial service assigned to the All-
Univer si t y secretary - treasurer
will take over the job of the pres
ent cabinet secretariat.
Secretariat' was abolished
Thursday night by cabinet just
one year after its establishment.
The new committee will be
composed of National Student As
sociation and other similar activ
ities. The secretarial service will
take care of such clerical work as
cabinet requires.
In Encampment Report
The proposals were made in the
encampment report of the com
mittee on making student govern
ment more effective, presented by
chairman Otto Hetzel.
In addition the report asked
that cabinet establish a standing
committee- headed by cabinet
members, and composed of the
chairmen of as many subcommit
tees as are needed. These chair
men should be taken largely from
students who have completed the
student leadership training course,
the report stipulated.
Another provision of the report
recommended further develop
ment of the training program.
Leadership Training
The program, inaugurated last
spring, calls for weekly classes
on such subjects as parliamentary
procedure and presenting reports
to cabinet.
The committee also asked that
a special committee be appointed
to make a thorough study of the
present student compensation sys
tem. Under this system, All-Uni
versity officers and chairmen of
many special committees receive
scholarships or monetary pay
ment.
Election
Lutter
reached for comment on Lutter’s
statement by 10 p.m. yesterday.
Lutter based his charges on
four points:
'Complete ConiroT
“1. Rae DelleDonne in her posi
tion as State Party Secretary had
complete control of notification of
the meeting of the Student Rep
resentative Council which per
mitted her to omit notification to
members opposed to her elec
tion . . .”
“2. Only 19 of the 42 members
of the .Student Representative
Council were present (at Wednes
day’s election of clique officers).
This does not constitute a quorum,
even though the group arrayed
by Miss DelleDonne conveniently
decided that certain positions
holding a vote under the State
Party constitution would not be
counted in the establishment of a
quorum.” ■
“3. The meeting wasf called in
a deliberate attempt to avoid the
democratic election of a clique
chairman; such a democratic elee-
