Lipp announced last night. Dean Lipp made the statement in - Clarification of a directive read to Judicial members yester day afternoon her Miss Lois Mc- Culloch, assistant to the dean of women. The directive said that "Since the dean of women's office has the final responsibility for WSGA, it is necessary for the rest of the year to have any actions approved by the dean of women's office. Penalties should not be released until Wednesday evening so the staff can look over the recom mended action." Miss McCulloch told the Judi cial members that this decision had been reached in staff meet ing. When questioned about the di rective last night by Judicial chirman Joan Beidler, Dean Lipp said that her decision had been "misinterpreted." Dean Lipp said that she did not mean that all penalties would }cave to be submitted for her recommendation, but rather only such cases as Judicial felt unable to cope with, Miss Beidler said. Dean Lipp requested a list of penalties given by Judicial (to include name, offense and pen alty) each week so that she would be aware of what the board was doing, Miss Beidler added. How ever, Miss Beidler explained, Dean Lipp said no penalty defi nitely decided upon by the board would be revoked. - —Collegian Photo by Don Schoengold HERE LIES COALY THE MULE—born 1855, died 1893.

' CFI IttS atig Tor II STATE COLLEGE. PA.. WEDNESDAY MORNING. MAY 11. 1960 The purpose of the new staff program, she said, is to maintain women as individuals. The biggest problem facing her, she said, is pulling apart student grotips. These groups split the students and. cause dis trust. "They cause Collegian ed itorials about gestapo systems," she continued. Dean Lipp opened the meeting by saying she was glad to see how many women had , come., "You're real brave people to show up," she said, adding that she felt the "breakdown in communica tions" would keep women from attending. "The Collegian," she said, "has a right to jump to conclusions. This is a learning process for journalists and if they've lost their sense of humor, become confused and only gotten one side of the story it's part of the learning process." "I frighten you a little," she said. "I don't fit what your picture is, or was, of a dean of women. New things get scary. The boat is bound to rock and people panic with new responsi bilities," she added. "One of the things we had to consider," Dean Lipp continued, "is that those who learn slowly would mess things up." Dean Lipp described her topic as "Community Living in a World within a World." "Community living," she said, "is as old as people. Human beings are gregar ious by nature and so they clump together." Women, Dean Lipp said, are too separated from the men. They need' more points of contact be cause "no segment of the world is ever an 'entity in itself." "The women," she said, "will learn from the men and the men will learn from the women." Jun ior counselors will act as catalysts; to institute this new concept, she said. Early plans, she said, called for only one coed community to serve as an example: the rest to remain at a status quo. "However," she said, "the dean of men and I thought the rest of you should not miss this ex perience. So, we built a basic (Continued on page three) FOR A BETTER PENN STATE DARE Begins 'Long Range' investigations A long range planning program for the investigation of possible areas of discrimination involving students will be undertaken by DARE, the anti-segregation group 'of State College. Representatives of DARE will attend the SGA Cabinet meeting ;next Tuesday night to suggest a ,study of this problem with refer lence to planning SGA action for ;next year. At a steering committee Meet ! ing last night, similar action by the student government of Ohio State University was cited as in cluding investigation of assign ment to residence halls, student teaching areas and student em ployment. The fund drive to raise money for the legal defense of Southern students involved in direct, non violent, anti-segregation demon strations was extended through today. Sponsored by the Student Christian Association, all money collected will be sent to the "Le gal Aid and Scholarship Fund" of the National Student Christian Federation. Cloudiness, Rain To Continue Today Another gloomy day is in pros pect for today with plenty of cloudiness, a few sOinkles of rain and little sunshine.

Panhel Makes Changes in Structure By ELLIE HUMMER Panhellenic Council voted on several structural changes as recommended by the com mittee on structure at the council meeting last night. The following recommendations were accepted by the council: The same two delegates from each sorority shall attend each meeting. These delegates shall be the president and the rush chair man or the panhel delegate. •Panhellenic Council shall meet two times a month. •Panhellenic Council shall ap point approimately two standing committees which will meet when the council does not have its meeting. It is recommended that these committees be a social rgiatt USSR May Pilot of Spy MOSCOW (11")—The Soviet Union notified the United States yesterday that Francis G. Powers, pilot of the Ameri can spy plane downed deep inside Russia on May Day, "will be brought to account under the laws of the state." This indication that the pilot may undergo a trial for espionage, probably not long aft er the end of the summit con ference, was contained in a stiff protest delivered through the U.S. Embassy. The Soviet government pro tested what it called the espio nage reconnaissance flight of Powers' highflying Lockheed In jet. The United States countered with a request for permission for an embassy officer to interview Powers, a 30-year-old Lockheed test pilot from Pound, Va., who is reported by the Russians to have confessed he was spying for the Central Intelligence Agency. The flyer fell into Soviet hands in the region of Sverdlovsk, 900 miles east of Moscow. Soviet Pre mier Nikita Khrushchev said the pilot and the wreckage of his plane—felled, by Soviet account, by a single rocket—were trans ferred to Moscow last week. The guess here is that Powers is held 'somewhere in midtown. The protest note was handed by Foreign Minister Andrei Gro myko to the U.S. charge d'af faires. Edward L. Frears, at the Foreign Ministry. It declared that "hostile acts of Amprican aviation which have taken place numerous times in relation to the Soviet Union are not simply the re sult of the activity of the mili tary command of the U.S.A. in various areas but are an expres sion of a calcblated U.S.A. policy." "These violations are premedi tated," it said. ". . . All this testi fies that the government of the U.S.A., instead of taking measures to stop such action by American aviation, the danger of which has more than once been pointed out by the Soviet government, offi cially announces such action as its national policy." It said that the United States, by sanctioning such action, aggra vates international tension. "Military intelligence activity of one nation„' the note declared, "by means of intrusion of its air craft into the area of another country can hardly be called a method for improving relations and strengthening such."

The recommendation is that the rules committee will determine the validity of all absences. As semblymen will be responsible for submitting excuses to the committee for absences.
