The Panhellenic
cepted last night,
Council ac
a recommen-
dation from the Panhel-IFC
Greek Week committee that
Greek Week be held during
the fall semester.
The date for Greek Week has
been set for the week of October
16-22. Possible dates for the IFC-
Panhel Sing are the Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday of that
week.
Ronald Novak, president of
IFC, told the council that IFC
felt that having Greek Week in
"the fall would provide the best
means of introducing the Greek
system to freshmen. IFC is tenta
tively planning to open fall rush
Immediately after the end of
Greek Week.
In other business, the council
voted to discontinue the an
nual IFC-Panhel Ball upon the
suggestion of the IFC-Panhel
Ball committee. The dance has
proved unsuccessful for several.
years.
The possibility of holding an
intercollegiate jazz festival to re
place the dance was suggested
to the council. Notre Dame Uni
versity held a similar event last
year which proved very success
ful.
"Downbeat," a music magazine,
which arranged . the festival at
Notre Dame said it would do the
same for Penn State if such an
event would be held. The prizes
and judges would be furnished
by the magazine.
In a straw vote, the council
voted in favor of holding such a
festival. It was pointed out that
such an event would be unique
among Eastern schools.
Another suggestion for re
placing the ball was to bring a
musical group to the Univer
sity for a concert.
The council voted to give the
Panhel-IFC Ball committee the
power to adopt any plan to re
place the dance.
The council also voted to amend
the rushing rules which would
allow sophomore transfers to rush
during the fall rush period.
Hundreds of
Taken From
Approximately 1300 books are currently listed as missing
from the Pattee Library Ralph W. McComb, University
librarian, said. .
The number could be doubled, added McComb, for the
books listed in the missing catalogue are only those that have
been recently requested and found
missing,
It is "immensely irritating"
to us, as well as to students,
when librarians have to tell the
reader that, the book he wants
is missing, McComb said. -
The number of mutilated, mark
ed and marginal noted books re
turned to the library is another
serious problem, he continued.
One of the most aggravating
things, McComb said, is to see the
large number of periodicals from
which articles have been torn out,
Such thoughtlessness, careless
ness and destructiveness on the
part of a few students hampers
the library from Providing ade
quate services which it is capa
ble of lending to undergrad
uates, he added.
McComb also stated that those
students found guilty of hamper
ing library services are subject to
disciplinary action by the Uni
versity.
"However, our function is not
to discipline Students," he said.

Pitt Professor Talks
On U.S. Constitution
The Constitution of the United States is a dynamic docu
ment meant to grow and change with the times, Henry F.
Foster, professor of constitutional law at the University of
Pittsburgh, said last night.
"If in 1954 education and voting are basic constituents
of citizenship, then the broad in
terpretation of the 14th amend
ment should be construed to cover
these," he added.
Foster spoke in a program hon
oring the Supreme Court decision
of 1954 which made segregated, or

The task or replacing books is a
difficult one though he added;
some ,of the missing books are
irreplaceable, and others neces
sitate the reordering of entire
sets of books.
Possible solutions to rectify
the problems of missing and mu
tilated books include installing
turnstiles and posting guards at
the doors, he said.
McComb continued that the li
brary does not want to adopt these
impractical solutions A student
motivated solution will resolve
the problem,' he added.
If the students solve this prob
lem of dishonesty and destruction
themselves, it would be a boon
to all students, McComb said.
Army Promotes Geelan
William R. Geelan, assistant
professor of military science and
tactics, has been promoted to the
rank of lieutenant colonel by the

"separate but equal" schooling,
unconstitutional.
The speech was sponsored by
the Committee on Inter-Religious
Affairs and was part of a nation
wide schedule of programs to rec
ognize the Court's action.
After the Supreme Court rul
ing was handed down, Foster
said, the problem became one of
implementing this greatly disput
ed decision.
The Court had said that
schools should be desegregated
"with all deliberate speed;' Fos
ter explained. In the deep South
this has been no speed at all, ex
cept in the opposite direction,
he added.
In the border states, segregation
has been lessening, although slow
ly, he added.
"Whether or not the Court act
ed prudently in advocating slow
and cautious intergration has been
disputed," Foster said. "The an
swer," he said, "is only a matter
of conjecture."
Foster explained that educa
tion is a start in a direct striving
for first class citizenship by the
American Negro. Recently the Ne
gro has been employing extra-le
gal forms of action to attain this.
"That is, not distinctly illegal
methods, but new and untried
means such as sit-ins," he said.
Foster is a member of the Bar
of the Supreme Court of Pennsyl
vania and has taught law at Okla
homa and Nebraska Universities.
,Last year he was a fellow in law
and behavioral science at the Uni
ersity of Chicago.

`K' Demands U.S. Apology;
Eisenhower Stands Firm
See related stories page three
PARIS (JP) The summit conference ended last night
with East and West bitterly blaming each other for its failure.
To the last minute Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev in
sisted that he could not meet with the West unless President
Eisenhower apologized for the U 2 spy incident and promised
to punish those responsible.
Eisenhower refused to go be
yond a statement that such flights
over the Soviet Union are ended.
The Western leaders met
twice during the day, waiting
for Khrushchev to appear. He
refused to do so until, as he put
it, the United States gave 'him
satisfaction. Last-ditch efforts
by the British, through a meet
ing between Foreign Ministers
Andrei Gromyko and Selwyn
Lloyd, failed to break the im
passe.
Finally, at 1. 0 .30 p.m., the West
ern powers issued this communi
que:
"The President of the United
States, the President of the French
Republic and the Prime Minister
of the United Kingdom take note
of the fact that because of the
attitude adopted by the Chairman
of the Council of Ministers of the
Soviet Union it has not been pos
sible to begin, at the summit con
ference, the examination of the
problems which it has been
agreed would be discussed be
tween the four chiefs of state or
government.
"They regret that these dis
cussions, so important for world
peace, could not take place. For
their part, they remain unshak
en in their conviction that all
outstanding international ques
tions should be settled not by
the use or threat of force but
by peaceful means through ne
gotiation. They themselves re
main ready to take part in such
negotiations at any suitable
time in the future."

Second of a Series
A sharp consolidation in the number of curriculums in
the College of Agriculture from 22 to 2, was approved at the
last meeting of the University Senate.
The curriculums, which will go into permanent opera-
tion next fall, are in Agricultural
and Biological Sciences and Land
scape Architecture, each of which
has its own major fields.
"This consolidation is a re
sult of the newly announced
plan to admit students by sep
arate colleges rather than by
curriculum as had previously
been done," Russel E. Dicker
son, associate dean of the Col
lege of Agriculture, said.
All freshmen entering agricul
tural and biological sciences will
elect either a science or a non
science common year program and
will, choose their major field of
study at the end of their fresh
man year.
The science curriculum has been
. designed to give students training
in the constantly changing and
expanding scientific industry,
Dickerson said.
The chief difference between
scientific and non-scientific pro
grams concerns the type of sci
ence requirement studied. For
example, basic chemistry would
Rule Change
Announced
By Judicial
The WSGA Judicial Board
announced yesterday that Uni
versity women students who
wish to return to State College
for graduation or another
event during the summer may
stay in motels, hotels or
homes.
Staying in town is permissible
provided the woman is not living
in a University residence hall or
attending summer sessions at the
University.
Under old rules women were
not permitted to stay in town un
der any circumstances except with
special permission from the office
1 of the dean of women.
The Board expressed a desire
that Dean of Women Dorothy J.
Lipp attend a Judicial meeting
and explain her interpretation of
the new women's rules. The Board
feels that this would help to eli
minate the communication prob
lem with the office of the dean
of women.
Miss Lois M. McColloch, assis
tant to the dean of women, will
no longer serve as advisor to the
Board, Miss Beidler said.
Mrs. R. Mae Schultz, assistant
to - the dean of women in charge
of freshmen, will act as advisor.
Her appointment was voluntarily
made by the Board, Miss Beidler
said.
Curriculums
Consolidated
permit a student to expand on
his knowledge in this with fur
ther courses, while "terminal"
chemistry would be more limit
ed in scope.
Also, mathematics courses
would be scheduled according to
the student's background, prep
aration and proficiency rather
than by setting down one first
course retired for all students.
The changes in course set-up
are a result of a 2-year study of
curriculums and course programs
by the Course of Study Commit
tee of the College of Agriculture.
Three new divisions, which
will function with a directing
committee, will channel the re
sources of the various depart
ments for greater efficiency in
planning courses, Dkkerson
said.
These divisions, to be added to
the already existing division of
biological sciences, will include
animal science and industry, plant
science and industry and social
science and education.
