Afternoon temperatures, aided by abundant sunshine, are ex pected to climb nearly 20 degrees above those of yesterday. A high of 82 is expected. But the weather isn’t expected to be perfect. It has a tradition to uphold: some precipitation has fallen in the Nittany Valley for the past 22 weekends, and even Mother’s Day can’t stand in the way of a record like that. So, a shower or thunderstorm will probably develop this afternoon, although it is expected to be brief. Another summer-like day is predicted for tomorrow, but again a possibility exists for a brief shower in the afternoon. A high temperature of 84 degrees is ex pected tomorrow. Tonight should be partly cloudy and mild with a low of 65 likely. Haber Commends Kennedy on Corps Richard Haber, out-going pres ident of SGA, has sent a letter to President John F. Kennedy com mending him for establishing the Peace Corps. In the letter Haber said that the University Senate, administration and SGA have been searching for a workable substitute for the com pulsory Reserve Officer’s Training Program, but have had no re sults. "The very term compulsory seems to be contrary to the phil osophy of education; but under the ‘Land Grant Act,’ Penn State is required to provide military training," Haber said Qtyp SatUj QQMwji Wins Title 1, a former University student, at the Bellefonte Junior High School.

MAY 13. 1961 Foianini Appoints Williams lo Head SGA Encampment By ROCHELLE MICHAELS Nancy Williams, junior in secondary education from Drexel Hill, was appointed SGA Encampment chairman yesterday by Dennis Foianini, SGA president. The appointment is subject to the approval of Assembly, which 1 meets tomorrow night. Foianini, in listing his reasons for choosing Miss Williams, said, "she is a very strong and capable person as she has proven by her actions on Assembly.” He also said that he and Miss Williams are working on "very concrete suggestions" to present to Assembly tomorrow night. Miss Williams was confident that she could do the job. This is the second appointment made this week to the position of Encampment chairman. Thursday night Richard Haber, outgoing president of SGA, named Robert Fry, president of Town In dependent Men, to the post. At the same time Haber chose John Wit mer, SGA president pro-tempore, as Encampment business manag er. However,. Ralph Friedman, C-Soph., objected to Haber’s ac tion saying the new president should have the power to ap point people he will have to work with. Haber and Foianini then agreed to delay announcement of En campment chairman and business manager until yesterday. Foianini said last night that he will not name the business man ager till a later time. Michael Dzvonik, chairman of University party, declined to comment. He said his reason for declining comment was that Miss Williams is the former vice chairman of his party. Dennis Eisman, Campus party chairman, expressed his approval, of the appointment saying he thought Miss Williams is an ex cellent worker and a capable girl. He added that it was only fair that Foianini should make the ap pointment because the Encamp ment chairman must work closely with the student government pres ident. Speaking for Liberal party, A 1 Sharp, party vice chairman, said that the party supports Foianini’s “excellent choice of Nancy Wil liams as Encampment chairman.” ZBT Wins Electric Organ Zeta Beta Tau fraternity has been named winner of an electric console organ in the Phillip Mor ris annual package-saving con test.

Police Drop Plans to Act On Protest By JOAN MEHAN It is highly unlikely that any police action will be taken against the small group of stu dents who protested against the national Civil Defense drill 15 days ago, Slate Col lege Police Chief John R. Juba said yesterday. State College Burgess Roy D. Anthony said, however, that the protest is still being investigated by the state Civil Defense director and it has not yet been decided whether other action will be taken. The offices of the dean of men jand the dean of women are also investigating the demonstration and have not as' yet decided on a definite course of action. The case began when h group of 6 to 12 students protested against a Civil Defense alert in town by remaining "in the open" during the nationwide drill. The protesters marched up and down the'southeast corner of College Avc. and S. Allen St. dur ing the 10 minute drill. They dis tributed leaflets which stated that "the only defense against war is peace” and called the drill a “fla-| grant deception played upon the American people.” ! At the time of the demonstra tion no action was taken by either the borough or the University. The cose was taken to the state Civil Drfrn.se director to deter mine whether the protesters had violated any law, Juba said. But. he added that the state has not yet directed him to take any ac tion. He explained ibai each state has the privilege of setting up its own Civil Defense laws since conditions vary from state to state. He said he did not know of any federal law concerning (Continued on page eight) at the bargaining table, Rusk ad vanced two firm demands that prevented the conference from I Cali for { Parents' Help By PAT DYER News Editor The surveyors will be selected by July 1, go into training by July 10 and leave for Africa in September, Miss Bowles said. They will receive training in the Swahili language "on the spot" in Africa, she added. Miss Bowles said that future projects will probably be select ed in the same way a nation will ask for aid in a specific area, Peace Corps officials will investi gate and approve the project, and volunteers w.ill be selected to suit the request. In describing the selection proc ess for volunteers, Miss Bowles emphasized that the Peace Corps is not exclusively for young peo ple, “Almost half of the volun teers are over 35,” she said. The selection process begins iwhen a volunteer fills out an ap plication, Miss Bowles said. Alti tude tests will weed out some vol unteers and further tests will eli minate more. Volunteers who survive the testing will receive about three months training -at centers which approximate the living conditions of their destinations. Selection will continue through out the training period, she said. . Miss Bowles said that the great 'est need of the Peace Corps will probably be for highly skilled volunteers. She said the biggest demand seems to be for teachers. Agriculture extension experts, en gineers, nurses and doctors and nutrition and sanitation experts will also be needed, she said. In commenting on the role of women in the Peace Corps, Miss Bowles said that it is “less likely” women will be asked to serve alone in villages. “Women will probably work in cities where the female in an ac tive role is more generally ac cepted,” she said. The daughter of Chester A. Bowles, undersecretary of State, Miss Bowles is executive assistant to Lawrence E. Dennis, who is on leave from the University os act ing associate director for Peace Corps volunteers and also in charge of the training program. It was on this point that efforts to open the conference broke down. --See Page 4 FIVE CENTS
