WSGA Judicial will submit
to the dean of women's office
for resolution, only cases that

in the future, Dean of Women,
Dorothy J. 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. -

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

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

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 Cabinet also ruled to rec
ommend that a bill submitted
by Jacob Dentu of the World
University Service concerning
opposition to racial discrimin
ation in housing be referred to
the SGA Public Relations Com
mittee. They further recom
mended that the committee con
duct open meeting discussions
on the prcblem.
A recommendation for the for
mation of a SGA Community Liv
ing Study Committee was also
passed. The recommendation in
cludes the proposal that two rep
resentatives for each of the fol

ommendation that the Organ
ization Board of Control be
commended for its work in con
fading all organizations that
failed to comply with a 'regula
lation requesting information
about membership, officers, ad
visors, finances and constitu
tion.
Included with this recommenda
tion is a proposal that OBOC
continue their program of con
tacting organizations and 'evok

izations that repeatedly fail to
comply with the Board's regula
tion.
