No. 80 Runkle to House Girls in May Be Ist of 'Honor Dorms By KAREN HYNECKEAL What would it be like to live in, a dormitory with no restrictions, no signing in or out and no staff member to take charge? Would such an "honor" system be possible at Penn State? And, if so, who would be allowed to participate Dorothy J.

Pittsburgh Orchestra Leads Hectic Life The busy life of William Steinberg and the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra was illustrated Sunday night after their performance in Recreation Hall. Steinberg, after quieting the capacity audience with an encore, scurried off the stage and ran back to his dressing room. Due to Steinberg's tight sched ule on such a "run-out" trip, he was unavailable for an interview. True to form, Steinberg changed clothes and emerged from his room in a relatively short time. Meanwhile the men and women of the orchestra packed their instruments and boarded the buses. Very Mild Air Fails to Reach Pennsylvania Very warm tropical air moved to within 150 miles of this area yesterday boosting afternoon tem peratures into the spring -like 70's all across West Virginia. Most of Ohio recorded readings in the 50's and 60's and it even reached the upper 40's as far east as Pittsburgh. However, the deep snow cover and mountains were able to main tain a shallow layer of cold air across the Keystone state and readings were in the low 30's throughout eastern and central Pennsylvania. A mass of cool air swept into Ohio and West Virginia last night pushing the warm air south again and so we'll have to wait a little longer for our first touch of spring weather. The local, forecast indicates cloudy skies and little change in temperature today. The mercury will hover around the 40 degree mark all day. Partly cloudy and slightly cold er weather is expected tonight and the minimum should be near 25 degrees. Tomorrow should be partly cloudy and cold with a high of 36 degrees. A few snow flurries are due tomorrow evening. Snow flurries, windy and colder weather is predicted for tomor row night. ,-.- I Politics Strangle 1 r 4 a ~. ~: ;, ,N : ~...., , o ti rgatt Nore, I University till i I --See Page 4 . By ANN PALMER Steinberg did have time, how ever, to autograph one record as he ran out of the door to the waiting buses before they were off. The Pittsburgh Orchestra, tightly packed on the stage, moved at all times in complete accord un der the seemingly effortless lead ership of Steinberg's baton. "Ma,this der Maier," a sym phonfoy Paul Hindemith and the final selection of the program, showed the mystery of the Ren aissance period by its strange chord combinations and agitated movement. The first selection of the pro gram, Prelude to "Die Meister singer," reflected the romance, joy, and festivity of Wagner's opera which centers around a song contest on St. John's Day in the 16th Century Nuremberg. Schumann's "Rhenish Sym phony (No. 3)" showed the com poser's feelings about the happy life of the Rhinelander. Only one minor mishap oc curred during the concert. One of the pipes behind the backdrop in Rec Hall decided to bang during a very quiet phrase of music. This in itself wasn't too had except that the pipe didn't keep time with the music! FOR AB STATE COLLEGE. PA.. TUESDAY MORNING. FEBRUARY 14.' 1961 scale at first. Dean Lipp said that Runkle Hall will house women next year, but that there are no apartments' or private facilities for senior residents or housemothers. "This situation forces us, thank good ness, to try out the honor dormi tory system." "However, the hall is nicely divided into four units of 70 girls each," • she said. Dean Lipp said that the plans were not definite but that it is possible that Runkle will be stu dent staffed. "If we did select certain girls to be assigned to Runkle, we would choose them on the basis of their responsibility, their schol astic record and general proof that they have outgrown the need for limits on their behavior," she added. If the plan materializes, mem-' bers of future honor dorms will have their own personal keys, will not sign in or out and will staff and organize dorm activities themselves, she said. Dean Lipp added that there would be problems, however, in such cases as when a girl would be selected for an honor dorm and would not wish to leave a roommate who had not been selected. Also, she said, there would be problems in sororities when cer tain girls were "honor" girls and others were not. If an "honor" girl did not wish to move out of her sorority suite, she might be given a key and special privileges within her own dorm, Dean Lipp explained, and this might consti tute difficulties. "These situations will have to be worked out before we can put the plan on a full scale operation," Dean Lipp said. Michigan State has an honor dormitory of about 200 or 300 girls which has been working excellently, Dean Lipp said. She said that one staff member lived in the dorm but was more of an advisor than an executive. "This year we have allowed stu dent members of certain activi ties (such as The Daily Collegian) ,to borrow dormitory keys on the 'nights when they will be out later than the 11:30 deadline. This is a beginning of the honor idea," she said. Applications for Spring Week committees are due at the HUB desk by noon tomorrow, Jack Crosby, Spring Week chair- man, announced yesterday. Governor's Ed Committee 35,000 Students Expected in '7O Penn State is expected ,to double its enrollment in the next decade but where the money Will come from to handle this increase nobody ;seems to know for sure. According to Sen. Jo Hays (D.- Centre), the Governor's Commit tee on Education will recommend in its report to the state admin istration and legislature that the University should matriculate 135,000 of the state's expected 300,- 000 student population in 1970. The report, however, will make no recommendations on the allocation of funds neces sary to operate a university of that size.

This performance sponsored by the University Artist Series and ticket distribution will be gin at 1:30 p.m. today at the Hetz el Union desk. Merce Cunningham and Com pany have. earned wide acclaim from critics all over the world for their modern dance experiments. Commenting on their rou tines, Walter Terry of the New York Herald Tribune said, "Watching Mr. Cunningham, of course, is ever a delight: He is one of the finest dancers of our day, technically brilliant, as lithe as an animal, master of mercurial action and as per forming personality, close to hypnotic." At a recent performance at Cor nuell College in lowa, a student turned to a professor during the Cunningham performance and said, "What does it mean?" The professor replied, "Relax, there are no symbols here to con fuse you. Enjoy yourself!" "The novelty of our work de rives from our having moved away from simply private hu• man concerns toward the world of nature and society of which all of us are a part," explained John Cage, musical director. "Our intention is simply to wake up to the very life we're living which is so excellent once one gets one's mini and one's desires out of its way and lets it act of its own accord," Cage con tinued. Merce Cunningham's sketches are about dancing, and do not at tempt to tell stories or portray neurotic states of mind. the committee recommends thatisupport than received by any the University handle that many other private medical schools in students they would have to have the money to do so, Hays said. tne country.

But little surprise was evident in Kataiva, and some residents of this rich secessionist province, which Lumumba once sought to conquer, said, "Thank goodness he's dead." , "I know that people will say this has been a plot and that the Katanga government as sassinated Lumumba," Interior Minister Godefroid Munongo, Tshcmbe's righthand man told reporters, "Such an accusation is inevit able—even if Lumumba had died of illness, old age or natural causes. "I will speak frankly: If peo ple accuse us of killing Lumumba, I will reply: Trove it.' " Ambassador Adlai E. Steven son, U.S. chief delegate, called the news of Lumumba's death "distressing and deplorable" as the UN council adjourned un til tomorrow. Munongo declared the United Nations has no right "to take positions in this matter" and su* gested it never worried about cele brated criminal cases in the Unit ed States, Communist killings in Hungary, the assassination of ,King Faisal in Iraq,.South Amer-- can political executions. "The UN . . . does not say a word when big powers arc in volVed but likes to enforce itself and its pretended authority when it is dealing with a small, feeble nation," Munongo said.
