INITIATE DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER chais wilh his new fra ierniiy brothers in the Alpha Zeta house Saturday. The students were surprised by the former President's ready knowledge of the cattle he came to see and by his friendliness. "It was thrilling to talk with him," one said. 'ike' Joins Fraternity During Visit to Campus The slate’s best-known gentle man farmer visited the campus, looked at cows and joined a fra ternity Saturday. Former President Dwight David Eisenhower flew in for a dual purpose visit: to inspect the Uni versity herd of black angus cattle and to become an honorary mem ber at large of Alpha ~-Zeta, national professional agriculture fraternity. EISENHOWER CAME at the invitation of Herman R. Purdy, associate professor of animal hus bandry. Purdy, internationally famous for his work with beef cattle, is the general’s personal herdsman on his Gettysburg farm. After his arrival at the Uni sity airport, Purdy escorted Gen eral Eisenhower to the sheep barns opposite' North Halls, and, afterward, on an* hour-long tour of the University farms. The buffet lunch at Alpha Zeta preceding Eisenhower’s initiation was kept very informal. Malcolm Andre, past chancellor of the fra ternity, said. “We tried to riiake it as relaxing as possible for the Vatican Cancels Kennedy Visit VATICAN CITY ,(/P) The Vatican has suspended plans for a papal audience with President Kennedy next month because of the grave illness of Pope John XXIII. Despite reports that the 81- year-old pontiff showed some im provement Sunday morning, there Showers Expected, High of 64 Seen Since the six-week drought was broken ten days ago, nearly 2% inches of rain have fallen as com pared with 2% inches in the pre ceding six weeks. The wet, cool weather that has prevailed since the drought ended is forecast to persist for several more days. It will be mostly cloudy and cool today with showers. The high temperature will be about 64. Showers should end and it will be'cool tonight. The low will be about 48. IFC Encampment Set (or September 24 - - The Interfraternity Council en campment will be held Sept. 24 at the Civil Engineering cabin at Stone Valley Recreational Area, Dave Perez, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, encampment' chairman, an nounced last night. THE ENCAMPMENT will fea ture eight workshops, each at tended by fraternity presidents, a chairman, and resource people from the' area not affiliated with a fraternity. State College Mayor Roy D. Anthony will participate as a “resource” in the workshop on town relations. Both Perez and Peter Lockhart, IFC president, termed the work shop the most ideal place for dis- general,” he said, adding that the visit had been hushed to minimize attention that might disturb that relaxed atmosphere. The privilege of initiating an honorary member is rarely ex tended to a local fraternity chap ter by its national office, Andre said. In this case, the local chapter was granted the privilege last year in. commemoration of the Land Grant Act Centennial, he explained.' “We have a fraternity custom of recognizing outstanding men connected with the development rol American agriculture,” Andre said. “We couldn’t think of any one more appropriate for this honor than General Eisenhower.” THE INITIATION was con ducted by Albert Cartwright, current chapter chancellor, and Andre. Brother Richard Muka guided the for m e r President through the ceremony. At the conclusion of the ceremony, “Ike” confided- to the group, “This is the first secret .-organization I’ve belonged to in my 72 years.” still was the deepest concern about his condition. His doctors ordered him to slay in bed. His sacristan was report ed remaining constantly near the Pope’s apartments, ready to ad minister extreme unction. Italy’s biggest paper, Corriere Dfella Sera of Milan, said the Pope had told a visitor: “I know very well what I have. And I also know that I only have three to four weeks of life." In Washington, a White House advance party suddenly canceled plans to fly here to arrange for President Kennedy’s visit to Rome and to the Pope about June 22. A VATICAN source said that not within several days, nor even in the immediately foreseeable future, will any Vatican authority feel competent to make plans for papal activity next month. The Pope’s doctors have told him he must stay in bed to avert further hemorrhages that could endanger his. life. They did not say how long he must continue to do so. But it was clear the Pope had not shown the hoped-for re- cussion, free from worries about studies. Ed Craig, recently-appointed .board of control chairman, an nounced his board members last night. Members selected are Lloyd Grearson, Phi Kappa Psi; Charles Teller, Sigma Chi; and Leon Klingensmith, Sigma Phi Epsilon. Frank Lovett, Delta Upsilon; Neil Anderson, Sigma Alpha Epsilon; Ken Dries, Alpha Gam ma Rho; and Barry Neilinger, Phi Sigma Delta, were also chosen. Craig also said local police have informed him that they will pick up and take to headquarters any (Continued.' on.page two) VOL. 63. No. 139 . UNIVERSITY PARK. PA., TUESDAY MORNING. MAY 28, 1963 FIV€ CENTS Additional Physics Profs State Resignation Plans At least two additional mem bers of the faculty in the De partment of Physics have an nounced their intention to re sign their posts this year. This brings to six the num ber of faculty members who have resigned or who have said they intend to resign since May 20. Richard G. Stoner, professor of physics, and Douglas J, Donahue, associate professor of physics, told The Daily Collegian (yesterday they will submit their formal resignations to John J. Gibbons, acting head of the Department of Physics, in the very near future. However, Gibbons would not reveal the names of the two unidentified men who submitted their formal resignations last week. Vernon W. Myers, associate pro fessor of physics, said he has sub mitted his formal resignation to Gibbons, and reliable sources have indicated that Radha R. Roy, professor of physics, has submitted his resignation also. IT WAS UNCLEAR whether or not these two men were, in fact, the ones referred to by Gibbons. In addition, Raymond Pepinsky, research professor Of physics, and John A. Sauer, professor of phys ics, submitted their formal resig nations to Gibbons last week. When contacted in Washington D.C., yesterday, Stoner said he has sent a letter to Gibbons indi cating he intends to resign. “I would like to resign,” Stoner said covery since a relapse last Tues day. The Vatican has only described the Pope’s ailment, which first struck him last November, as a stomach disorder and serious anemia. The belief is that the stomach disorder is an ulcer or cancer, provoking the hemorrhages which cause the anemia. _ Doctors would not even let him walk to his studio window for his usual Sunday noon blessing of the crowd in St. Peter’s Square. They are reported to have warned him that the effort might have caused further loss of blood. Board Evaluates NSA Benefits of Membership Questioned By TONI BAURNES and DENNIS KNECHT In a report evaluating the National Student Association, the Junior Class Advisory Board states that it questions the benefits Undergraduate Student Government could obtain by continued membership in the organization. USG has been a member of NSA during the past year on a trial basis. Congress will discuss whether to become a permanent member or to withdraw from NSA tomorrow night. • THE BOARD REPORTED in its evaluation that many services offered by- NSA are duplicated by campus organizations. The results of the evalu ation were compiled through questionnaires sent to various organizations and through interviews with student delegates to the NSA annual con ference, Dean Wharton, USG past president, and William F. Fuller and George L. Donovan, USG advisors. The Board contacted 130 campus organiza tions, 54 of whom replied. Only 32 of the organ izations had ever heard of NSA. One group, the Education Student Council, said it had used the services of NSA. Asked if NSA’s services could benefit their organizations if the services were used more effec- FOR A BETTER PENN STATE he told Gibbons, but formal ar rangements have not as yet been made. “It’s something I should have gotten around to clearing up be fore this,” Stoner said, “because it (his pending resignation) is def inite.” Donahue said “I have stated my intention of resigning and will accept a position with the Uni versity of Arizona at Tucson where I will be a member of the physics faculty.” Myers confirmed yesterday that he is resigning from the depart ment. He declined to comment on the reasons. Carl O. Muelhause, chief of the reactor division of the National Court Orders Integration Of Public Schools, Parks Without Further Delay WASHINGTON (JP) The Su preme Court yesterday warned still-segregated public schools it will tolerate no avoidable delay in their obeying its 1955 decree which ordered integration wilh “all deliberate speed.” The court did so in ruling that the "all deliberate speed” guide line does not permit any further delay in integrating parks and other city recreational facilities in Memphis, Tcnn. UNANIMOUSLY, the tribunal pointed out that eight years have passed since the second school segregation decision. The court declared it would not tolerate fur ther delay “unless it imperatively and compellingly appeared un avoidable.” That new integration timetable was not defined any further. But the court did say that school de segregation plans that might have been acceptable eight years ago may not be acceptable now. This follow-up to the historic 1954 and 1955 school desegrega tion decisions was enunciated at length by Justice Arthur A. Gold berg. He did so in five pages of a 12-page decision telling Memphis that denial to Negroes of “the use of city facilities solely because of their race is without warrant.” A group of Negroes had ap pealed to the court to hasten Memphis’ desegregation of recre ational facilities under a program not due for completion until 1970. Goldberg agreed. "DESEGREGATION of park lively by the University, 5 organizations answered yes, 42 answered no and 7 said they didn’t know. FIVE FORMER DELEGATES to the annual NSA conference said they felt it was becoming more conservative. These delegates agreed the most important contributions of NSA were the opportunities for leadership training and for ex change of ideas that it provided to delegates. A USG committee was formed under one of the delegates to disseminate NSA ideas to campus organizations. The report said the delegates agreed that the committee was a failure, and that NSA had not been used effectively because of the size of the University. Wharton said that although NSA does pro vide some benefits to member schools, a school such as the University has no need for many of these "benefits.” He also said the NSA Presidents’ conference was helpful and that participation by the USG executive should continue regardless of USG’s relationship with NSA. DONOVAN AND FULLER said the Univer sity is rather advanced in activities and ideas and does not need NSA. They both said the Uni versity should not continue to renew its member ship each year at a cost of $l5OO just to delcrmina the value of NSA. Bureau of Standards, staled that Myers has been offered a research position in neutron solid - slate physics with the bureau. Myers confirmed his intention to accept the position. Muelhause said the appointment would become effecetive in Sep tember. Reliable sources at the Uni versity have reported that the other faculty member. Roy, has accepted a position with the Uni versity of Arizona at Tempe. Roy has been director of the new nuclear reactor since its construc tion here. Department head Gibbons de clined to comment on the situa tion in the physics department. and other recreational facilities does not present the same kinds of cognizable difficulties inherent in elimination of racial classifica tion in schools," he said, “at which attendance is compulsory, the adequacy of teachers and facili ties crucial, and the question of geographic assignment often of major significance.” Then he turned to school inte gration and said it was “never contemplated that the concept of ’deliberate speed’ would counte nance indefinite delay” in inte gration. Handing down important ac tions in the racial integration tur moil for the second week in a row, the court also: rejected unanimously a request by Gov. George C. Wallace of Alabama that the court prohibit President Kennedy’s use of fedeial troops in dealing with racial unrest in Birmingham. WALLACE'S PETITION ac cused Kennedy of creating a “military dictatorship.” It said the President had violated the Constitution by sending 5,000 fed eral troops to military posts near Birmingham without a request for help from state officials. The governor asked the court to declare unconstitutional the statute under which the Presi dent acted and to rule null and void the Constitution’s 14 th amendment. The Supreme Court declined even to hear arguments on Wal lace’s appeal.
