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

future. Excellence in all the com

Steel Negotiators
Make No Progress
PITTSBURGH (JP) —Steel negotiators, feeling the pressure
of President Eisenhower’s request for an early settlement of
the 79-day-old steel strike, met twice yesterday but gave no
signs of nearing a solution.
There was some speculation that the industry may have
softened its position on a one*
year wage freeze, but nothing
said Or done by th< negotiations
tended to confirm such optimism.
The four-man negotiating
teams for the Unilei 1 Steelwork
ers of America and the nation's
12 biggest steel-pro lucing firms
met for an hour and a half be
fore’ lunch and lien resumed
talks in mid-afierpon for an
other two hours.
In contrast to eailier negotiat
ing sessions held in New York,
when each side of ter i issued state
ments critical of the other, the
negotiators now wire reluctant
to comment.
At the end of the afternoon ses

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

mittee, told Assembly that Penn State is the first university

zation and the need for greater!

Ihe UN nations, a community
peace conference, UN dinners in

eign students and the dedica

Miss LaSpada told Assembly
that invitations will be sent to
Governor . David L. Lawrence,'
Pennsylvania congressmen, U.S.j
Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge!
Jr. and foreign ambassadors. She!
said all proceeds from the week-]
end will go toward the UN World
Refugee Year program. j
In other business the Assembly l
approved the report made by,'
William Jaffe, chairman of the!
1959 Student Encampment. His!
: nine recommendations for the
1960 Encampment were accepted. 1
Howard Byers (U.-Sr.) ques

Jaffe explained that s reunion
would help maintain interest in]
' Encampment, and would provide]

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. ’

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. Faculty-Staff Di
,rectories will be distributed to
campus offices today or Mondav,
.according to Wilbur F. Diehl,
I manager of telephones.
■ The Faculty-Staff Directory
• distribution will provide one copy
j for each campus administrative
telephone, while a copy of the
Student Directory will be issued
to each department. A limited
number of~ additional copies, as
needed, may be available upon
request by department heads.
Copies of the new directories,
priced at 50 cents each, are on
sale in State College bookstores,
jNittany News, and the Student
ißook Exchange.
| The Student Directory lists the
jnames of the nearly 15,000 stu
dents on campus, including those
j living in fraternities, sororities

It also contains names of hostess
es and counselors, along with the
University calendar and other
useful information.

versify from any legal responsi
bility. 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.
