Walker made the statement at
a dinner meeting attended by the
14 administrative heads of the
campuses and from 9ne to three
members of the advisory boards
of the campuses.
The advisory boards are com
posed of local merchants, profes
sional men and industrial leaders
of the community in which the
campus is located.
The meeting was the second of
weekly-scheduled sessions to be
attended by the campus heads
under Kenneth L. Holderman,
newly-appointed coordinator of
Commonwealth campuses.
Walker explained that under
the new policy "the authority
and responsibility of the direc

ened so that he might serve es
sentially in the same capacity
Is the dean of a college."
"This means, among other
things," the President said, "that
he will have closer ties and more
direct lines of communication
with the administrative officers
at University. Park, and that he
will be given increased authority
for the academic performance of
the faculty under his adminis
tration."
He said - that Continuing Edu
cation Services (formerly Edu
cation Extension) will still be
available throughout the state
as well as at the campuses.
Walker said this was signifi
cant since few junior colleges
in other states have been able
to provide this service because
they lacked the faculty facili
ties and the orientation for
them.
On the financial aspects of the
anticipated expansion of facili
ties, he said each community will
be expected, to whatever extent
possible, to subscribe to

Seating Dispute
Deadlocks Summit
GENEVA (W)--The Big Four foreign ministers conference
deadlocked yesterday over a Soviet proposal to seat Com
munist Poland and Czechoslovakia as full participants.
The ministers wrangled inconclusively for more than an
hour, then adjourned with the dispute unsettled. The
Soviets announced they intend to'
bring up the issue again today.
Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei;
Gromyko advanced the new pro-i
position for enlarging the confer
ence in the wake of his quick de
feat Monday at the opening ses
sion on a demand for admittance
of Communist East Germany as
a full negotiator.
Gromyko insisted that Poland
and Czechoslovakia must be in
cluded as a tribute to their suf
ferings from German aggression.
U.S. Secretary of State Chris.
tian A. Herter and his British
and French colleagues 'balked.
They urged that the Big Four
get on with the Berlin and Ger
man issues. They suggested that
Poles and Czechs might be call
ed in later during discussion of
points of specific interest to
them.
"The meeting ended with tho
matter still up in the air," U.S.
Asst. Secretary of State Andrew
Berding announced later.
Herter, Britain's Selwyn Lloyd
and France's Maurice Couve de
Murville each challenged the So
viet idea. .
The second formal session at
the Palace of Nations; with Gro
myko as the day's chairman, last
ed 93 minutes.
The argument could tie up -the
conference in a lengthy proce
dural wrangle. But Berding said
"We hope the problem is closed."
On the other hand Gromyko's
deputy, Valerian Zarin, told
newsmen: "The Soviet Union
will insist bn a positive decis
ion on this problem. We con
sider that the success of the
whole conference will to a large
extent depend on the decision."
There was no sign that Herter,
Lloyd and Cowie de Murville
would relent.
In his first speech at the Big
Four conference, the lanky Amer
ican statesman urged the confer
ence to get on with the discus
sions on Germany and Berlin.
