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.

Four Types
Of Prejudice
TO THE EDITOR: Recently I sav
the old movie "Gentlemen's'
Agreement" which struck out at
anti-Semitism The impi essing
thing about the film is that it isn't
attacking hatred and flag-waving
techniques.
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

USSR Warns
Of 'Spy' Bases
MOSCOW 4:1)1 Soviet Pre
mier Nikita Khrushchev warned

bases in foreign counts ies used for
American spy flights over Soviet
territory.
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. Pakistan, in
tending to fly to Bodo, Norway,

of Negroes of voting age, and no
Negro registrations
FBI agents will deliver the at

the forerunner "of a widespread
program of inspection of voting
records in states where constitu
tional rights of citizens may have
been info inged by discriminatory
practices "

er predicted, a little more than
half of the state's 670,000 regis
tered Democrats are expected to
turn out today for a primary that
might have a decisive effect on

party's nomination.
In the last stage of their battle,

Allies Recover
From Gloom
LONDON (/P)—European allies
of the United States bounced back
yesterday from the gloom that
gripped them after a U.S. recon
naissance plane was shot down
over the Soviet Union.
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.

As Non-Partisan Citizen
SEOUL, South Korea (IF')
Syngman Rhee squelched sepeu
lation that he might try a come
back. declaring yesterday that he
intends to spend the rest of his
days as a private citizen of the
republic he helped to create.
The 85-year-old ex-president is
sued a statement in making pub
lic a personal letter from Presi
dent Eisenhower praising South
Korea as - "a monument to your
life-long work."
In the first 12 years of the
young republic's life, Rhee had
ruled with a stern hand until his
government was toppled by a
popular revolt two weeks ago.
At his retirement, Rhee issued
a terse statement saying only that
he wished "to devote the rest of
my life to the nation and people
as a citizen."
