To Provide •pinions ,
The purpose of the survey, tak
en in April, was to obtain stu
dent opinion on the idea of or
ienting an honor code .for women
living in residence halls.
Miss Kersh called the survey
results "not too encouraging."
She explained that the committee
did not specify that WSGA was
conducting -the survey and for
that reason the women did not
take it "in the correct vein."
The survey also said that while
62 per cent of the women would
report themselves for violatimis
under the honor code, only 20
per cent would turn in the name
of a friend.
Would Not Drink
About 72 per ,cent said that
they would abstain from drinking
if put, on their honor.
A plan for some type of an,
honor hall was favored by 53 per
cent of the coeds and all but 65
of the coeds said that they all
"would feel perfectly comfortable
behaving in their home town as
they do here." •.
The survey said 858 University
women 'are generally satisfied
with th 4 social opportunities on
campus and 274 are not. Three
hundred forty two women would
like to date more on campus, 605
less. •

President Eric A. Walker last night expressed doubt that
the student faculty evaluation programs now being conduct

value.

Ike to 'Fight to End' to Save Budget
WASHINGTON, May 22 (JP)
—President Dwight D. Eisen
howff declared today, with 'a
glint of fire in his eye, that
he'll fight to the end for his
slash-threatened budget.
Eisenhower told a news confer
ence a spending reduction voted
yesterday - by the House Appro
priations Committee would "cut
directly into defense"—in the vi
tal' fields of planes and guided
missiles.
The President said he would
give more enthusiastic support in
next year's congressional elec
tions to those Republican law
makers who support his program
than to those who buck it.
He served notice that, in try
ing to get his program enacted,
he'll work with "sympathetic"
lawmakers outside the GOP lead

Questions
Evaluation
honorary member of the group
Dr. Walker said that he dis
approved of the faculty evalua
tion programs because he didn't'
feel the students were in a situa
tion to give unbiased accounts of
teacher methods. For example, he
said, a professor he greatly dis
liked in his own youth, he now ;
regards as one of his finest teach
ers.
Dr. Walk'er expressed his views,
on the faculty evaluation program,
while citing the varieties of per
sons he encounters and ,his at-1
tempts to satisfy them as presi
dent of the University.
First on his list were the stu
dents. He divided these into two
specimens—those who are on The
Daily Collegian staff and those
who are not.
The faculty comprise another
public which must be satisfied,
he said, and in order to keep the
University standards high, teach
ing standards must be kept cor
respondingly high..
It is not easy to seek out the
poor professors and almost im
possible to fire them, as can bey

ership—but not, he emphasized,
without letting the Republican
leaders know that he's doing so.
Eisenhower's comments came
less than 24 hours after his sec-,
and radio-TV - address in a week
on behalf of his $71,800,000,000
budget, which a number of Re-
I
publicans as well as Democrats
in both houses of Congress have
been voting to whittle sharply.
He said public opinion, as re
flected in letters and telegrams to
the White House, has been swing
ing toward support of his spend
ing program. The White House
said later that such reaction to
his talk last night has been favor
able, 9-1. This speech dealt spe
cifically with the $3,865,000,000
foreign aid bill.
Budget - and related matters
dominated Eisenhower's meeting.
The President's manner was
emphatic rather than angry. He
seemed to enjoy putting some of

Encampment Plans
Near Completion
Plans for the sixth annual Student Encampment are
almost complete, according to Chairman Harry Martini, who
yesterday disclosed the discussion topics for the seven En
campment workshops.
About 90 students and 30 administrators, faculty mem-
bers and townspeople will attend
Encampment, to be - held from,
Sept. 4 to 7 at the Mont Alto
Forestry School.
Academic Atmosphere, with
Robert Nurock as chairman, will
discuss what steps, can be taken
to improve the University's aca
demic atmosphere and how and
where the following items fit in
to- an academic atmosphere pro
gram:
_
Honor house, comprehensive fi
nals, honor exams, course syllabi,
reading tests, gifted students,
scholarships, class cuts, grading,
system, pre-registration and auto
mation and television.
To Study Student Wants
The group on Academic Poli
cies, under Edward Long, will s
study how student wants can be
coordinated with administration
views to produce University poli
cies regarding: •
The grading system, trimester
system, community living, regu-'
lation of student government and
activities, staggered hours, liberal
ization vs. specialization, determ
ination of administration policies,
permanency of administration
policies, public relations, pre
registration before the semester
begins, and the quartermester
system.
To Air Distributing Agency
Communications and Culture,
with Jay Feldstein as chairman,
will discuss:
A possible central distribution,
agency for publications; using
publications as an outlet for All-
University Cabinet action; stu
dent participation in a cultural
program and its planning; mak
ing the cultural program more
widespread; and the purposes of
WDFM, the Daily Collegian,
Froth, Lantern, and council and
curricula publications.
To Discuss Orientation
Orientation, Tradition and
School Spirit, under Leslie Phil
labaum, will study:
The role of the orientation pro-I
gram and how it can be improved:l
hat societies' contribution to or
ientation; pre-registration orienta
tion during the summer.
I High school student leaders',
conferences; transfer students' or- 1
ientation; registration orientation;
customs; improving school spirit;
and student government promo
tion of tradition and school spirit.
Responsibility to Be Studied
The Regulations, Controls and
Student Welfare workshop, un
der Richard Moon, will dis
cuss whether the general welfare
can be better improved by in
icreased individual responsibility,

his firmer views on the record.
He commented to an aide, in fact,
"Well, that was a short half
ihour," when the session ended.
About the only nondomestic
matter of importance that came
up was disarmament, and here,
too Eisenhower spoke with em-
I phasis.
He said -Americans must be
sure "we are not being picayun-i
ish"—that "we ought to have ant
open mind" on Russian proposals.'
To some it sounded as if he
might be throwing down the
vie s exoressed recently by Adm.
Arthur W. Radford, chairman of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who said
the Russians can't be trusted to
abide by any disarmament pact.
However, Eisenhower went on,
to say, in this same vein, that
the United States must insist on
ironclad guarantees in dealing
;with "a government which has a
Ihistory of breaking of treaties."

gest that several meetings be
held in rooms with a seating' ca
pacity for more spectators.
Varied Agenda Recommended
Nurock also will recommend
that agendas for these meetings
be varied in subject matter and
that they include topics which
interest a large majority of the
student body. His third recom
mendation will be that the Cabi
net Public Relations Director pub
licize the meetings.
Nurock's committee considered
10 available rooms which would
hold more studer,ts than 203 HUB

Lion Members
Back. Elections
Fourteen members of the Lion
party steering committee last
night issued a statement saying
"there is no question as to the
validity and legality" of the
party's clique elections held Sun
day night.
The statement was issued as
Byron LaVan, former clique
chairman, prepared to contest the
elections before All-University
Cabinet tonight.
LaVan launched a parliamen
tary-battle over the election after
the candidate he nominated, Fred
Ochroch, was defeated 101 to 97
by William O'Neill.
The statement, signed by 14 of
the 21 steering committee mem
bers at the meeting, also said:
"There is also no question in
our minds as to his (LaVan's) mo
tives in contesting a fair elec
tion_ We are convinced that they
,are purely personal, due to his
'disappointment in seeing his
1
hand-picked candidate defeated.
His conduct since the election has
been disgusting to us ..."
