No. 89 Lipp, Sorority Plan Meeting Housing A dispute over illegal room switching within a sorority suite will be decided , by Dean of Women, Dorothy J. Lipp at a Conference Monday with the chapter president . and housing chairman. Several sorority members are now living in rooms other than those assigned by the De partment of Housing at the be ginning of the year. The coeds requested an official change in rooms before switching, accord ing to the sorority housing chair man, but this request was denied by housing officials, Otto E. Mueller, director of 1 housing, said last week that legal room switching involves too much paper work in notify ing University departments. This combined with the expense of moving the girls is too costly to make the move practical. Concerning unauthorized switch ing, Mueller said that housing would take no action but the women would be responsible for their originally assigned rooms. Late Thursday afternoon the residence coordinator for the area told the coeds if they weren't back in their original rooms by yesterday morning, their parents would be contacted, the chapter president said. Yesterday morning, the coeds, who had not complied with the coordinators order, were notified of the conference with Dean Lipp. According to the sorority president, the coordinator, who told them of the conference, then warned that if the dean of women did not approve of the switches and the girls still re fused to move back, they would be called before judicial and placed on academic suspension. Dean Lipp denied that such ac tion was being considered and; added that she was "sure that; the whole thing can be settled, to everyone's satisfaction." The coordinator could not be reached for comment. The confusion seems to be a result of inefficiency in the per formance of duties of the sorority housing chairman and her direc tives to the coeds, Dean Lipp said. The sorority has been playing "musical chairs" with their rooms, the dean continued. The sorority housing chairman (Continued on page eight) Inside' SGA Wsh Criticizes Parties For Lack of New Ideas Campus political parties are sticking to old platforms and not making way for the new ideas presented for con sideration to the SGA Assembly, according to Wayne Ulsh (I-Jr.). "New ideas often are not developed because party leaders insist on working on their old platform promises, which are really out of date after elections," Ulsh said. Ulsh cited theorganization of the new Men's Residence Council as one of the new ideas he thinks is being hindered by kick of party sup port One idea that has brought about team ef fort on the part of all three cam pus parties University, Cam pus and Liberal is the forma Uleh - tion of the SGA "Back Penn State's Budget" Committee. This committee, which was re cently organized for the purpose to Resolve Confusion Light Snow May Follow Heavy Rain A premature touch of spring visited this area yesterday, but a sharp deterioration in weath er conditions is expected to day. Rain, heavy at times and cooler I temperatures are predicted for this morning and early afternoon with snow and much colder weather indicated for late today and this evening. Yesterday's high temperature of 66 degrees ranks with the warmest temperatures ever ob served during February in this area. Today's readings will be nearly 20 degrees cooler than those of yesterday. A rapidly-developing storm system that is approaching Penn sylvania from the southeastern states will bring the expected precipitation to this area today and early tonight. Strong and gusty northwest winds and a sharp change to colder weather should accom pany the change from rain to snow late today. The snow will gradually diminish to snow flurries tonight and an accumu lation of two or three inches is possible. Partly cloudy, windy and much colder weather is expected late tonight and tomorrow. A low temperature of 24 is fore cast for early tomorrow with a high of only 32 degrees expected during the day. Tomorrow night should be partly cloudy and colder. By CAROL KUNKLEMAN of conducting a campaign giving support to President Walker's $23.1 million budget request tor the University, is exemplary of the type of work Assembly should be doing to benefit the whole stu dent body, Ulsh said. In predicting. the future of the parties, Ulsh said that since there are now three groups, one party will probably support the ideas of one of the other parties, rather than branch out into a completely different viewpoint. What about student interest in SGA? Ulsh said he thinks it is increasing; more questions are being asked by students, he said, and the larger committees SGA is appointing are giving students a greater chance to participate in student government. FOR A BETTER PENN STATE STATE COI LEGE PA.. SATURDAY MORNING.' FEBRUARY 25. 1961 SGA Hears Diem Talk On Parking For one hour Thursday. night SGA Assembly fired questions at Albert E. Diem, vice presi. dent for business affairs—all of which were variations on the campus parking problem. SGA President Richard Haber asked Diem to appear before SGA some three months ago to explain why student cars had . been banned from the Hetzel Union parking lot and why the SGA parking com mittee's request for a trial re opening of the kt had been de nied. Robert Harrison (11.5 r.) be gan the questioning, asking why the trial open period had been honied. Diem said "there was nothing to be gained by such a trial period," that opening of the lot presented formidable problems and that the final-de cision had been made. Harrison then attempted to show that the newly opened Pol lock parking lot, with its 200 ad • ditional spaces, would compen -ate for some of last year's .con gestion in the HUB lot. Diem replied that there were still too many student cars on 'campus (between 3200 and 3600) to permit the HUB lot to open. "Therefore," he said, "there can be no change in this judgment which apparently you refute." Further questioning determined that the peak hours for student driving were at the beginning and end of Friday and Saturday evenings. Harrison then asked. "Do such peak hours fall during the week? Our report requests only that the lot be opened Sunday through. Thursday evenings." , Diem said that occasionally such'. peak hours do occur during the week. "There is no question that there are unused spaces in the center of campus more often than filled spaces. But we have to make these spaces available to those who really need them." Edgar Grubb (U.-Sr.) asked Diem if the hours of the school day might be staggered to lessen congestion. He replied, "With the four-term system we will try to work out such an arrangement. There is no question that it would alleviate the problem to stagger staff hours but we have to maintain good employee relations for the good of the University family as a whole."

Norman Cousins, editor of the Saturday Review, advo cated a strong world govern ment to bring about world peace and security last night when he spoke on "Education and Our Foreign Policy." We should not think about whether we need a world govern ment, but what kind of world government we want, he said at the Lecture Series presentation. If we don't, we may soon find someone else's ideas forced upon us. The world is coming to a show down. It could be a military one by force or a non-military show Doors will open at 7:30 p.m. By JOAN 'MEHAN Adlai Congo War UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (A?) Ambassador . Adlai E. Stevenson declared his "revulsion and , shock" last night at reports of 11 more political assassinations in the Congo. - They were reported carried out this time by - I.umumbist leftists in Oriental Province. Taking notice. of reports that Sen. Alphonse Songolo and Campuses Asked To Back Budget Liberal party's campaign to influence legislative support for President Eric A. Walker's $23.1 million appropriation re quest will be extended tc the commonwealth campuses next week, according to Dale Har- I ris, chairman of the commit tee. Copies of the petitions which have been circulating on campus will be sent to each of the 13 cen ters, Miss Harris said. Student government leaders at each of !the centers will supervise the cir culation of the petitions. Miss Harris said she hopes about 80 per cent of the approxi mately 4000 students at the 13 centers will sign the petitions. "It's to their interest as much as ours," she added, The petitions will circulate on the main campus at least until the middle of next week, Miss Har ris said. The campaign headquar ters may be moved from the ground floor of the Hetzel Union Building lust outside the Lion's Den because "most of the people who come through the HUB have seen it already," she added. She estimated that 5000 stu dents have already signed .the petition, and added that many res-1 ident halls and fraternities have copies circulating. Campaigning for the appro priation is expected to be stepped I up next week, but Miss Harris said that the lack of volunteets to man the HUB booth may not allow for as much activity as is, necessary for complete success. BULLETIN The National Space Agency said late last night that there is a chance that attempt to put a satellite in orbit, which had earlier been announced as a failure, might have been . suc cessful. down "won by the idea that will eventually attract the most peo ple," Cousins added. "I don't think this country is going to survive doing what it has been doing," he warned. If the United States fails io clearly define its ideas and policies; the Communists will be successful in their bid for world control, he added. Cousins said there is a close connection between education and our foreign policy and we must educate on an international ba sis instead of dividing it into smaller political or cultural units. The United States should help transform the United Nations into a more powerful body by giving it the power to inter pret world law.

He said he will consult with Asian-African nations on the move. • Songo]o and the other s all political foes of the assassinat ed ex-premier Patrice Lumum ha, were taken prisoner in Stanleyville weeks ago. The Stevenson statement was issued as President -Kennedy and Australian Prime Minister Robert G. Menzies in Washington joined in pledging support to U.N. Sec retary-General Dag Hammar skjohl and in deploring. attempts "to twist the tragic events in the Congo into an attack upon the United Nations." Reports from Brussels told of a 'new blow by the Stanleyville reb el forces and can attempt to carve out a new state loyal to the I Leopoldville central regime in secessionist Katanga Province. The Belgian News Agency said forces of Gizenga entered' Luluabourg, capital of Kasai Province. The Congolese army garrison of Luluabourg was said to have taken refuge at U.N. headquarters there. The Belgian radio said Jason Sendwe, former central govern ment commissioner for Katanga, announced the creation of the new state of Lulaba in nothern Katanga, in an apparent move to take over for Leopoldville part of secessionist Moi s e • Tshombc's province. A U.S. delegation spokesman here said the reports of the ex ecution of Songolo and the oth ers were not official, but that they were based on sufficient information to justify the Ste venson statement. U.N. officials here and in Leo poldville have expressed fear the prisoners have been killed, but there has been no reply from the Gizenga regime to repeated U.N. inquiries about their fate.

A policy of listening to the needs of the people we are try ing to help was called for by Cousins. "We must add the ear of America to the voice of Ameri ca," he said. The United States has not been taking strong stands on issues of world importance. We have been putting too much emphasis on strategy and not enough on forming strong policies and stick ling to them, Cousins said. FIVE .CENTS
