President Creates
Committeeto Handle
Evaluation Program
'President Eric A. Walker has created a new committee
to handle a series of departmental evaluations, Wilmer E.
Kenworthy, executive assistant to Walker, announced yes
terday.
Kenworthy said the new committee will carry out a
program of evaluations which
will serve as the groundwork for
an institutional self-study in 1965.
This self-study is scheduled as
a prelude to the Middle States
evaluation of the University in
1966.
The new committee will ar
range for outside evaluations for
all departments, Dr. M. Nelson
McGeary, committee secretary
explained yesterday.
Evaluating teams of two or
three members will be nominated
by the head of the department
and the dean of the college con
cerned. Final selections will be
made by the committee.
The evaluations will begin next
fall and proceed department by
department, McGeary said, but
it has not been decided which
department will come first.
The president. assistant to the
president for academic affairs,
♦ice president for research and
the dean of the graduate school
will make up the committee.
The dean of the college in which
a department or division is
being evaluated will serve as
an ad hoc member.
The whole accreditation pro
cess is conducted about every 10
years. It begins with a self-evalu
ation, Kenworthy explained. The
institution prepares a report and
submits it to the Middle State
Association.
After the report is evaluated,
a team of evaluators is sent to
the institution for several days.
This team asks questions and
"looks into things," Kenworthy
said.
Kenworthy said the institution
is finally accredited as a whole;
however, the association may
make recommendations for . any
one department or college.

Party Drops
Harrisburg
March Plan
University party will not
support a march to Harrisburg
to support the budget appro
priation, Robert Harrison, the
party candidate for SGA pres
ident said last night.
"We have talked the idea over
with party leaders and contacted
administrators aid it will defi
nitely not be included as a cam
paign plank," Harrison said.
Harrison was presented with
the idea Monday after Richard
Goldberg, a classmate, brought
it to the attention of Michael
Dzvonik, University party chair
man.
"It may have done some good,
but we don't know how it would
affect the legislature,", Harrison
said.
He added that Goldberg plans
to continue checking into the pos
sible capital trek.
Among the persons who did com
ment was Ronald Sheetz, chair
man of the SGA "Back the Budg
et" Committee.
"Anyone going to Harrisburg
will not represent the SGA com
mittee," Sheetz said.
Sheets said that none of his
committee members will go to
Harrisburg since SCA vetoed
the idea of sending a lobby to
Harrisburg last month.
Also commenting were Duane
Alexander, independent candidate
for SGA president, and Dennis
Foianini, Campus party candidate
for the post.
"It's not practical and it won't
accomplish the purpose of our
committee," Alexander said. "If
we can't get the" budget by nor
mal means such as personal con
tact and writing letters, we
shouldn't try anything like this.
If President Walker, and Uni
versity officials would back the
march on Harrisburg proposal,
Alexander said that he would go
along with it.
Foianini called the idea a "tre
mendous challenge," but clarified
his statement by saying the idea
is just a proposal and has not
been backed up or investigated.
"If Harrison walks to Harris
burg, I'll go along with him,"
Foianini said. "but not if he drives
in a 1960 car."

Ist Proposal
For '6l Rush
Panhellenic Council last
night heard a proposal that
1961-62 formal sorority rush
be held from Dec. 8, the day
following the close of • final
exams, through Dec. 13.
According to the proposal, fire
side chats to acquaint freshmen
with sorority life will be held the
first two Mondays in October.
Rush registration will be Oct. 23
and open houses will be held the
first two weekends in November.
Each sorority woman would
pay ap p roximately $l4 to stay
on campus for rush. Mrs. Nan
cy M. Vanderpool, assistant to
the dean of women, said. This
would cover room and board
and Panhel expenses for the pe
riod, she said.
To cut rush expenses and com
pensate for the short preparation
period before rush, Janet Carlisle,
Panhel rush chairman, suggested;
that party favors be eliminated ,
and parties be less elaborate.
Sandy Baker, Chi Omega, op-1
posed the proposal. She said there
would be no transportation home
for women staying to rush, and
ro -- weeks is too short a period to
prepare for rush.
Having to rush after a 10-
week semester with no vacation
would produce bad psycrolog
teal effect, she continued, and it
would produce a bad psycholog-
Christmas jobs.
Joan Gerstl, Phi Sigma Sigma,
said there would still be a three
and a half week vacation in which
to work and she did not think
the psychological effect would be
too great.
The rush committee will present
alternative rush dates next week.
The council will vote on these
proposals at the following meet

termed "foreign mercenaries."
The planes were, described as

ing and Home Finance Agency
and its satellite offices.
Sen. Joseph S. Clark, D-Pa.,
who introduced Kennedy's legis
lation in the Senate, said it
would add no new programs or
operations to th e housing
agency's present role.
He added that others may be
tacked on in the future by legis
lation or reorganization plans.
Kennedy thus left open the
controversial questions of which
federal agency should take over
the problems of helping cities
with mass transportation and
preservation of open spaces for
parks.
Large numbers of mayors have
urged creation of a Cabinet-rank
federal agency to deal with their
problems on the same status as
that given business, labor, farm
ers and other major segments of
American life.
They want help not Only with
housing but also with slum
clearance, transit probleins, and
recreation.
But there has been some dis
pute as to which agency should
handle the problems outside hous
ing. Many say transit problems
should be assigned to the Com
merce Department •and the recre
ational area question to the De
partment of Interior.
Pierre Salinger, White House
news secretary, said Kennedy will
send a message to Congress later
which will touch on mass transit.
But he did not indicate where the
President would ask that the
problem be assigned.
