Eric A. Walker yesterday told the Uni the University must change both its struc ture and its method of govern ment as student enrollment in-; President versity Senate * * * Prexy Cites Needs of Libraries President Eric A. Walker cited yesterday the need for a comprehensive study of the University's libraries and a long-range plan by which the libraries can operate. Walker told the University Senate he will soon ask a com mittee to begin development of such a long-range plan. The plan would involve Pat tee Library, Commonwealth campus libraries and the branch libraries now operated by the Colleges of Agriculture, Chemistry and Physics, Min eral Industries, Home Econom ics and Engineering. The Senate passed a resolu tion to give the University brary high priority in Uni-1 varsity development plans as' a matter of educational policy. l Library Housing . The resolution also provided that high priority be given to finding a permanent solution to housing of the college li braries and that the proposed addition of a science library building be given top priority. Another Senate resolution proposed a change in the Sen ate By-Laws to provide that the chairman of the Commit tee on Athletics qualify for reappointment to his post for a maximum of 12 years. In the past, chairmen of Sen ate standing committees have been limited to four years in their posts. The change would give the athletic committee chairman the opportunity for more sen iority as a member of the con trol board of the Eastern Ath letic League and in other posi tio•ns. The resolution will be voted on at the April meeting. Three Apply For Collegian Editor Post Three applications for the 1964-65 editorship of The , Daily Collegian have been received by Collegian Inc., publisher of the newspaper.

No field of endeavor within Stressing the need for depth creases. Walker said the present struc ture of the University is ade quate for the next 5-10 years, but that more responsibility and authority must soon be shifted from administrative offices in Old Main to the college deans if the University is to run most efficiently. The President verified reports that he will propose changes in the structure of the University Senate to give more voice to faculty members, but said he would make no specific pro posals until the April Senate meeting. The Senate change would re duce the number of administra 'tors and the total number of senators on the body, he said. Discussion Convinces Talks with members of his staff, college deans and presi dents of other universities have convinced him that a need for revision of the Senate constitu tion exists, Walker said. The President said one prob able change in University struc ture in the future will be the addition 'of a College of Medi cine to be responsible for opera tion of the Hershey Medical Center. He did not give further details. • Walker cited the recent action by the state Council on Higher Education in approving forma tion of two state junior colleges as indicative of a general trend in the state. Community Colleges More two-year community col leges are certain to be estab lished in the future and the Uni versity will be flooded with aP- plications for admission by grad uates of these schools, he said. "The day may come when the University will have only about 5,000 freshmen and sophomores and at least 15,000 juniors and ( seniors," Walker said. Admission of all community college graduates will be im possible, Walker said, and there fore some form of admission test will be necessary to deter mine if these students qualify for junior ranking at the Uni versity. Tests for Sophomores The admissions test may also be given to four-year Univer sity students at the end of their sophomore year to determine their qualifications for further study, he added. At least four communities have already asked the Univer- , sity to run junior colleges in this area, Walker said, and more are expected. Whether or not the University, decides to operate these two ye a r centers, many students from such schools will expect admission to Penn State for their junior and senior years, the President said. "The University is well on its way to becoming a $lOO million institution," Walker said. Warmer Weather Expected Today Unseasonably warm weather is expected throughout Penn sylvania tod a y. Afternoon readings will be near 53 de grees. It will be partly cloudy and ' mild tonight with a low of 40. Rain is expected tomorrow, and colder weather is expect ed in the afternoon and to- Imorrow night. Tomorrow's , high will be near 50 and a ]ow of 28 is likely tomorrow night. MESROP KESDEKIAN . . . director Kesdekian To Direct 'Carnival' Mesrop Kesdekian, for mer University student and staff member, will be the guest director of "Thieves' Carnival," to be presented at the Pavilion Theatre April 28 to May 2 and May 'B-9.

The roll call vote of 14-11 in favor was four short of the two-thirds required. Other amendments, specify ing that executive candidates be fourth term standing or above and congressional can didates at least second term standing, were passed. However, Congress deleted portions of the original pro posal which would have re quired candidates to be pres ent on campus to fill their ten ure of office. Two Nixed Tne amendments were pro posed as part of the revised USG elections code, which was passed, except for the two sec tions on term standing and average requirements, •at last week's USG meeting. The two sections, changes to the By-Laws, required a second reading and a two-thirds vote of Congress. The rest of the code, a USG bill, required only one reading and a majority of knowledge and understand ing in engineers, Williamson pointed out that graduate work is rapidly becoming essential for the modern engineer. Ingenuity and creativity are also necessary in the engineer's make-up, he added. Other primary assets the modern engineer must have are a strong ethical code, a comprehension of people and an ability to speak out against injustices in his profession, ac cording to Williamson. "The engineering curriculum of the future with its continued demand for rigor, its emphasis on fundamentals of scientific' and engineering ,methodology,, its inclusion in a workable way of the humanities and social, sciences. may well be the lib eral education of the future," Williamson concluded. FOR A SETTER PENN STATE UNIVERSITY PARK, PA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, MARCH 4, 1964 Pro-Cyprus Greeksßurn LBJ Effigy ATHENS (JP) Rampag ing anti-,American demon strators burned an effigy of President Johnson in Ath ens last night as rioting over the Cyprus issue erupted in Greece. Students stoned American installations and fought with police on the Greek island of Rhodes. The demonstrators claim the United States is following a pro-Turkish line in attempts to settle strife on Cyprus. Thousands of shouting dem onstrators raged through the streets of downtown Athens denouncing America and Brit ain on the Cyprus issue and shouting praise for the Soviet Union. On Rhodes, off the Turkish coast, an estimated 3,000 high school students hurled stones at the U.S. Information Serv ice buildings, the Turkish Con sulate and the USS Courier, a Coast Guard vessel serving as a broadcast station for the Voice of America. Overturn Car Rioters overturned and dam aged a dockside automobile be longing to the Courier. Police rushed in to disperse the Rhodes rioters and fighting broke out before the disorders eased. There was no immediate report of injuries. Cordons of police guards were thrown around American and Turkish installations. A Greek government official who tried to calm the crowds was hooted and jeered when he shouted, "The Americans are our friends." 'Johnson•Capone' In Athens, there were shouts of "Johnson-Al Capone", "Bra vo Russia" and "Out with the fleet." About 2,000 persons gathered outside the U.S. Embassy, where a small effigy of John son quickly went up in flames. Other thousands .demon strated in front of the British Embassy while still others marched through downtown streets blocking traffic. - A number of clashes between demonstrators and police broke out but there were no imme diate reports of injuries. The current series of demon strations began Saturday when students fought police in front of the U.S. Embassy and hurled red paper fezzes symbol of Turkey onto the embassy grounds. congressional vote. One of two additional claus es which were passed by Con gre s s without amendment, requires candidate runing for a class presidency to be a member of his class for at least two terms of office. The second requires transfer' students to have at least one term at the University or one of its Commonwealth campus-' es before running for office. Since the proposed average requirement hike was defeated, the present requirements-2.00 all-University and previous term averages for all executive, congressional and class office candidates—will remain in ef fect. Two amendments to th e average requirement were con sidered but defeated before the section its ?f defeated. Betty Goodell (Pollock) pro posed that a 2.5 all-University and 2.3 previous term average be required for executive and class presidential candidates. and a 2.3 all-University and previous term average be re quired for congressional can didates. Daniel Carn (fraternity) pro posed the all-University re quirement be cut to 2.15. In other business Congress unanimously passed a bill changing the name and status of the Penn State Student Scholarship Fund to allow granting of student loans. The proposal is subject to approval and action of the University's Board of Trustees. Lipp To Address Newman Club on Catholics' Duties Dorothy J. Lipp, dean of women, will address the New man Club communion break fast Sunday at which new club officers will be installed.

Reception Planned A reception for the speakers in the office of the Dean of Men on Monday, April 6, will initiate the IFC workshops. Following Evans' speech Mon day evening, the first round of workshops will be held in the form of discussion groups. With five fraternities in each group, the discussion will center around "matters pertinent to all fraternity men," according to Edward Ablard, workshop chair man. He said the twofold purpose of the workshops is to allow fra ternity mon to "disscuss common problems" and try to find solu tions to these problems, and to provide for discussion of "sepa rate problems of concern to of ficers." The gene r al discussions groups will revolve about such topics as rushing, scholarship, the place of the fraternity on campus, and, generally, the "preservation of the fraternity system at Penn State," Ablard said.

Omega; William Healy., Tau Phi Deltat China Bid Fos4'. WHO Upset GENEVA M France formally voted yesterday for the admission of Red China to the World Health Organization, a U.N. specialized agency. In Paris,• a French spokesman, said France aiso would back Peking's bid for a seat in the United Nations and its affiliated bodies. The health organization vote to seat Red China was defeated 51 to 21, with 22 abstentions. It was the first time since France recognized the Peking regime on Jan. 27 that the issue has come up in a major international body. Eugene Aujaleu, the French government's director general of public health, announced the new French position in a laconic statement of 33 words. U.S. Dismayed The French action dismayed U.S. officials who had hoped that President Charles de Gaulle's government would at least abstain when the issue is debated in such nonpolitical bodies as the health organiza tion. The American officials saw the vote as a sure indication that France will line up with the Soviet bloc and the Afro- Asian neutrals at the U.N. Gen eral Assembly this fall in voting to oust Nationalist Chi na from the United Nations in favor of Red China. Normal Move A French Foreign Ministry spokesman in Paris said the French position was the nor mal and logical consequence of the establishment of diplo matic relations with Peking. Asked if France would take a similar position in the U.N. General Assembly, the spokes man replied that the French stand in the United Nations could not be contradictory to the one taken in the health organization vote. Pressed to explain France's position on a Security Council seat for Red China, the spokes man avoided a direct response. saying: "This will depend on how the issue is raised." No Discussion Aujaleu did not join in a lengthy discussion of why Red IChina should or should not be recognized as one of the health organization's 110 members. During the acrimonious de bate on the opening day of the annual WHO assembly, he rose and declared: "Since a debate on the sub ject of Chinese representation has been opened here, I wish to state that France supports the admission of the People's Republic of China to the World Health Organization." The Soviet bloc and many of the Afro-Asian delegations ap plauded. Navy Raises ORL Contract where," Carl 0.

Carl Frederick, committee. chairman, said the Hetzel Union, fountain is hoping to raise the; additional funds from the pres ent sopho m'o r e and junior classes and the alumni, since the senior class would be able to donate only $8,500. He said he was hesitant about the fountain proposal since he would like to have the class gift designated or on campus by Group Has Talk on Prof Traits A concrete answer to the ! question "What constitutes a good professor?" does not exist. At least this was the con clusion of University staff mem bers and a group of students who sought the answer last night. The question was raised at a combined meeting of Omicron Delta Kappa, men's leadership lhonorary society, and Mortar Board, senior women's hat so ciety. Melvin Axilbund, ODK pro gram chairman, raised the ques tion. Research versus teaching was a point of disagreement. "You hire what you hope will be a good researcher and then hope that a little good teaching has rubbed off on him some- FIVE CENTS June. Construction on the. foun tain would not be able •to begin until at least next fill. Senior class president• Ralph Wise, assigned to investigate the fountain, said its feasibility would depend • on the number of commitments already made. Otherwise, the senior class might donate the money and only to find that; additiOnal re sources couldn't be raised. Gift Suggestions The six suggestions chosen as the most feasible and the com mittee members who will in- vestigate them are: •A donation to the library— Stuart Gerson. • A clock for Recreation Build ing or Beaver Stadium—John Androski. •Stereo transmitter of WDFM —James Matheny. o A campus iountaih—Ralph Wise. SA donation for scholarship and loan funds—George Gordon. •A portable electric organ for the HUB—Richard Kent, The committee inernbers as signed to investigate the sug gestions are to contact the per- I sons or offices suggested by Frederick and then contact' the appropriate retail outlets for further information. • In order to decide on the three 'suggestions to be presented to the senior class at spring regis ,tration, the committee will have 'to gather the above information by Tuesday. At that time, the committee will eliminate three of the suggestions. Temple U. Seeks State Univ. Rank Millard E. Gladfelier, president of Temple Uni versity, requested last night that his school be given the status of a state university in southeastern Pennsyl- vania. At Temple's 80th anniver sary dinner Gladfelter stated that "Certainly southeastern Pennsylvania, which is the most populous area in the state, needs an institution which can do for urban society that which the land grant col leges did for rural America." He continued that the "five southeastern Penn sylvania counties have . 33 per cent of the state's population, and as compared with national stand ards, the college p?tential -is tapped at a pitifully low level. Urges 'Partnership' "For the sake of the youth of southeastern - Pennsylvania and in the interest of develop ing the human potential in Philadelphia and the Common wealth, we hope that evolving circumstances will hurry the day bringing to full fruition the partnership between the university and the Common wealth. "We will then have become, in our best way, a part of our nation's educational advance. "The university, the city and the state should again assess the needs and set goals of land and facilities for this enterprise so essential to our city in the most demanding decade in history." 4 Indie Teams Win In 'Bowl' .
