No. 12 University Faces New Challenges By BILL MAUSTELLER “Find a better way, and use That is the challenge of the future .which the University must face, accoiding to H. Thomas Hallowell, Jr., presi dent of the Standard Pressed Steel Co of Jenkintown and one of the University’s trustees. - Hallowell, Ralph Hetzel, vice president of the potion Picture Association of America and a trustee, Bruce Sutherland, pro fessor of English, and Robert Scholten, associate professor of petroleum geology, discussed “The Challenge of the Future for the State University” at the closing session of the faculty-trustee symposium last night. Hetzel said that not-only the University, but also the "world outside" must do its share in facing the future. The University should keep its eurriculums to a minimum, con centrating its strength to give students an education in the ba sic studies. Let business and in dustry take the responsibility of training in specialized fields, he said. He advocated the use of tapes, television, and all possible audio visual aids available. “The fan tastic potential of these devices can only be realized when they are mastered,” he added. Heisel also said lectures should be modified. The Uni versity cannot teach "every thing," he added. Sutherland said that proper training and education should be the prime goal—not expediency. We should utilize the things at our command without destroying the standards, he said. Sutherland said that Pennsyl vania has lagged far behind oth er states in preparing for the large avalanche of students who will enroll in the future. "If wo change, make the changes sound we'll be stuck ■with them for a long time." Scholten said that anything less than “excellence" will not suffice In answering the challenge of the future.

Encampment Report Guaranteed Parking Spaces Asked By-CATHY FLECK Assistant Editor (Fourth in a Series) The right of a student to a ; guaranteed parking space on campus, if charged a fee, was asserted by Student Encamp ment members as a possible solution to the current park ing problems. The Off-Campus Living Prob lems workshop suggested that parking spaces be numbered and only one car would occupy each space at any one time. The work shop members felt-that there is a need for study for the develop ment of parking areas on campus so as to provide maximum park ing. With approximately 8200 cars registered by students, faculty, and staff, there are approxi mately 4500 available parking spaces .provided on campus. This leaves approximately 4000 cars 'to find parking spaces off cam pus. Possible solutions to this prob lem according to the workshop report would be: bumper to bumper parking with attendants SGA Backs UN Program By CAROL BLAKESLEE and JIM MORAN The Student Government Association Assembly last night endorsed the schedule of events for the United Nations Weekend, Oct. 23; 24 and 25.

The workshop recommended that a committee be established through TIM to investigate the available number of long-time parking spaces in the downtown area arid to make the results in the investigation known. The! workshop cited that there are! parking spaces available in the I downtown area that are not being! used by students. The cause of! this problem was thought to be inadequate publicity. With regard to downtown liv ing conditions, ihe workshop has recommended: • The University investigate the possibility of modifying the or ganic structure under which it' operates, so as to bring the prob-| lem of off-campus housing within the realm of the responsibility of the University without endanger ing its legal immunity. ’ • The University investigate the i possibility of having all land i lords -and student? sign a volun : tary agreement releasing the Uni Start, Start, Start See Page 4 Directories Distributed To Students Students can. finally stop jotting phone numbers and addresses down on scraps of paper, which usually end up forgotten in their pockets since the new Student Directory and the Faculty-Staff Directory have arrived. i Copies of the Student Birec- I tory have been distributed to 'student rooms in campus lesi j deuce halls.

The agreement should also include a clause whereby the ■landlord agrees to keep his house up to University standards ana allow inspectors to enter his house in the event of a complaint. • A publicity campaign should, be organized to stimulate the moral responsibility of the land lords in providing good housing. • The town itself should also take more active steps in improv ing the conditions that to a large jextent have been brought about !by inadequate inspection and poor [enforcement of exisiting fire and [sanitation ordinances. ! These recommendations were made as solutions to problems which arose following a 1957 decision of the Board of Trus tees saying that the University could require all students to live in approved housing. It was brought to the attention •of the University that as a state (institution, it cannot be sued. The University was then advised to cease any program regarding off campus housing for which it could be held legally responsible; The recommendations were mads on a basis that would relieve the University of any legal responsi bility.
