PAGE FOUR Editorial Opinion Tightening of Control Possible With Lipp Plan It r, tulle to stop quibbling ovei signing in and out and begin to look at a few of Dean of Women Dorothy J. Lipp's long-range plans fur student life at Penn State. The underlying factor in the women's rejection of one of the facets of her plan—junior residents—is a fear of the ramifications which may evolve from such a le.oderce hall staffing plan. A tem that the plan might be a watchdog system with eel tam of one's peers stationed among the students to niarshall to the higher echelon reports on conduct. This plan might lead to a tightening of administrative control such as has not been experienced before. Dean Lipp has claimed that the women know nothing about the plan. This ignorance, then, is the crux of the matter for it leads to fear. But why hasn't this plan been adequately explained and discussed with the women before Dean Lipp began laying the ground work? Under the proposed new living plan a group of 25-50 women would have a junior residence hall counselor who is subordinate to a graduate counselor who is subordinate to one of the four basic living unit counselors who is sub ordinate to the dean of women's office. This structure can lead to efficency but it also can lead to a tight control. What will be the explicit duties of all of these staff people? Will they be there for help and guidance or for discipline and organization? All of then" are certainly not going to be adequately trained for coun seling and guidance. Those who can See_further ahead are troubled by the combining of this staff system with the coed residence hall program which may lead to an entire student govern ment based on living units. What effect will the coed council system have on the organization of the Student Government Association? If representatives are elected from councils instead of classes and if these residence hall counselors have a great deal of control over their counselees, might not this be a way of more fully extending the control by the administration, to the SGA? If a representative is bringing up ideas contrary- to administrative doctrine, then he might be effectively silenced through counseling. One more question. Why have we heard literally nothing from the men's side? Since Dean Lipp's proposed plan eventually effects the men too, more talk ought to be emanating from Dean of Men Frank J. Simes' office.

It exposes the responsible citi• zen who either knowingly or un knowingly carries with him a quiet, under-the-surface kind of prejudice. Prejudice, after all, is a feeling and we act or react to As I thought about this picture. I related the points it made on anti-Semitism to discrimination against Negroes Let me enumerate some of the more common feelings many peo ple have but don't realize their dangerous implications: The person who says he is not against Negroes but cracks de grading jokes about them. The person who says he is not out to reform the world and so does nothing. The person who says there isn't any problem or sits and waits hoping that it will all pass over or says that's the way it's done here. The person who gives the clas sic apology that some of his best friends are Negroes. It is feelings and attitudes like these which many people carry that, more than scattered out 'ages, keep our society disciimi nating —Peter M.

Khrushchev called Norwegian and Pakistani diplomats over to his side at a Czech Embassy re ception. He told them that if the United States is allowed to continue to use bases in their countries for operations against the Soviet Union "we will have to aim our rockets at your air bases." In a speach to the Soviet par liament last Friday Khrushchev announced that American flier Francis G. Powers had fallen into Soviet hands and his plane was shot down at Sverdlovsk on May 1 while on a spying mission. Khrushchev said Powers took off from Peshawar.

They generally predicted the summit talks would open in Paris on schedule next Monday despite the incident. Some sources suggested that So viet Premier Nikita Khrushchev would not push the matter too far. They read this interpretation into the Soviet leader's own re port on the case virtually absolv ing President Eisenhower from responsibility. Some papers also pointed out that when it comes to spying, all great powers are involved and the Soviets have a great advantage because the nations of the West are open societies. Spies in Embassy, UN, Czech Admits WASHINGTON (iP) House investigators yesterday released testimony of a former Czech mili tary attache that his nation's em bassy here and their U.N. dele gation in New York have been loaded with Red spies. Lt. Col. Frantisek Tisler, the military and air,attche who de fected to the United States last summer, said his official position was a cover for his main job of heading Czechoslovakia's military intelligence operation in this country. The House Committee on Un- American Activities released Tis ler's secret testimony Monday, ob viously to help offset Soviet charges resulting from the shoot ing down of a U.S. spy plane over the Soviet Union May 1.
