Walker to
Concerning
A report will be submitted to President Eric .A. Walker
May 15 by the University Senate Peace Corps Committee,
according to Robert K. Murray, chairman.
Murray said the report wi
areas in which the Universit'
Jr's, 'Leaders'
Meet to Discuss
Orientation Plans
The role of the orientation
leaders and junior residents
next fall was the topic of dis
cussion at a workshop held
Sunday for next year's orien
tation counselors.
Opening the discussion, Ruth
Rifling, president-elect of the As
sociation of Women Students, ex
plained the orientation program
in terms of AWS structure.
Miss Billing said that the junior
resident is the primary link be
tween the coed and AWS. One of
the main goals of AWS next year,
she said, will be to provide a fa
vorable environment for cre
ative pursuits.
Addressing the group, Dean of
Women Dorothy J. Lipp said the
purposes of orientation are three
fold. They are to establish a "cli
mate of existence" for new stu
dents, to provide "growth experi
ence" for the leader, and to help
women to understand why they
are in college and what they
should be doing here.
The main job of the junior
resident in next year's program
will be to orient freshmen to
residence hall living, she said.
On the other band, the orienta
tion leader's function will be to
inform the freshmen about aca
demics. activities and geenral
campus life, she said.
Patricia Dyer, chairman of
AWS Judicial, also spoke at the
workshop. She discussed the
structure of the Judicial Board,
and said that its goal is to allow
coeds to have as much freedom as
possible without disturbing oth
ers.

Peace Corps
11 list recommendations on the
, will be able to train Peace
Corps personnel and suggestions
on a possible University training
program in public service.
The University now has no spe
cial requirements for a Peace
Corps program and has made no
contracts with the Peace Corps to
train personnel for projects al
ready in existence, Murray said.
After the report has been sub
mitted, he said, it will be "up
to President Walker to release
the contents and. take further
action on implementing a Peace
Corps training program or a
public service curriculum. Fur
ther decisions will not be made
until that time," be said.
Murray explained that there is
no one procedure being used to
train Peace Corps personnel. He
listed the following ways that are
presently being employed by the
Corps in preparing volunteers:
•Qbalified personnel may be
sent to a country which has asked
for aid in ,a specific field.
*Volunteers may be trained by
having them live in . a country in
which conditions exist similar to
the ones they will •eventually en
counter.
• Institutions in a foreign coun
try may adopt an exchange pro
gram with an American univer
sity similar to the student ex
change program.
•A University may submit to
the Peace Corps a list of areas in
which it feels qualified to train
personnel.
The last alternative is probably
the action that will be taken by
the University after Walker re
ceives the report, Murray said.
Citing examples of these meth
ods which already have been em
ployed, Murray said that trained
surveyors have been sent to Tan
ganyika and Peace Corps person
nel are living in Puerto Rico in
preparation for future assign
ments.
Today through Thursday the
community councils will spon
sor talks in their respective
residence areas. All interested
students may attend.
One of the speakers, Lurene
Jochem, senior in home economics
from Pompton Lakes, N.J., will
speak on "Crossroads Africa" at
6:30 tonight in Atherton lounge.
Dorothy J. Lipp, dean of wom
en, will hold a digcussion begin
ning at 7 p.m. tomorrow in the
main lounge of the Hetzel Union
Building. "Women Students at

Bernreuter Pleased
With Voting Turnout
Dr. Robert G. Bernreuter, special assistant to the presi
dent for student affairs, said yesterday that he was gratified
l by the increase in voting in last week's student government
elections.
"I hope it means a continued revival of interest on the
part of the students in govern
ment," he said.
"I am looking forward to the
time when student government
will serve a dual purpose of pro
viding for the common needs of
the student body and helping to
control their behavior," Bernreu
ter said.
"The recent episodes of very
serious thefts, burglaries and
marked sexual immoralities in
dicate to me that the students
themselves must accept more re
sponsibility for their own be
havior and the behavior of their
fellow students," he said.
He said that a degree from the
University will not mean as much
in the outside world if the repu
tation of the student body of
that institution suffers.
Bernreuter said that there were
12 or more cases of serious stu
dent misconduct brought to light
last week.
He mentioned the case of two
students who were suspended
for excessive drinking and the
case of Thomas Maxwell, a
senior in premed, who was ar
rested Sunday on charges of ag
gravated assault and battery, as
evidence of this trend.
"A few years ago a group of
girls proposed an honor program
to regulate student behavior and
they were laughed at." he said.
"It is clear to me that they were
on the right track," he added.
Bernreuter said that a cooper
ative effort must be made on the
part of students and faculty to
emphasize honesty and honorable
behavior.

Spring Week,
Fines, Provide
Scholarship
A "Penn State Student
Scholarship" has been estab
lished by SGA, according to
Richard Haber, student gov
ernment president. ,
Funds to cover the cost of the
new $l5O scholarship will come
from parking fines and spring
week profit; he said.
To be eligible for this schol
arship, Haber said, a student must
be enrolled in a regular four-year
course of study; must be on
campus for at least one academ
ic semester; must have an All-
University average of at least 2.5,
and have made a contribution to
student activities.
The applicant must be able to
indicate a need for this aid, Ha
ber said.
An indication of need, Haber
said, would be the fact that the
student would have to work part
time to continue his education.
Applications for this scholar
ship are available now in the Stu
dent Aid Office, 218 Willard.
These applications must be re
turned by May 15, Haber said.
