emphasis on faculty adviser

faculty member becomes thor
oughly familiar with a student
background hopes and needs at
college. We don't take the time
to ask the boys for background
information any more we
know it before he comes DR..
Vail said.
After new students arrive this
pairing continues through two
full years and includes social ac-
quaintance in faculty homes as
well as professional association.
"The college encourages the fac
ulty to bring new students 70
their homes as an integral part
of orientation," Dean Vail said.
Hampden Sydney also uses
four orientation week tests to
measure general college poten-
tial. depth and extent Of vo-
cational interests, writing and
reading. These are tools in the
most profitable placement of stu
dents from the beginning, as ef-
fectively as possible.

Senate Democratic Leader
Mansfield today invoked rarely
used rules in an effort to force
a vote this week on the consti-
tutional amendment to abolish
the poll tax.
The Senator announced he
would object to Senators yield
ing the floor to their colleagues
for anything but a question
and would enforce the rule
against committees meeting
while the Senate is in session.
He also Cancelled the daily pc
Rod in which Senators insert
miscellaneous material in the
record.
This will prevent Southern
ers who have been holding the
floor for nearly a week from
giving each other long periods
of rest by yielding to a COL
league. It means that each
opponent must stay on his feet
until he finishes a speech, and
under another rule each SEN
ator is limited to two speeches
on the pending question.
Vote Likely Thursday
Even with this breakdown,
indications are voting will not
start before Thursday.

President Kennedy today
signed-and praised-legisla-
ton designed to safeguard
pension and welfare funds.
In a White House ceremony,
Mr.. Kennedy described the leg
islation as extremely important
in protecting pension and well
fare interests of A million
workers.
He called the bill most de-
sirable from the public view
point. and said beneficiaries
Of pension and welfare funoS
now will be able to look to the
future with confidence.
The ceremony was attended
by Vice President johnson,
Secretary of Labor Goldberg
and congressional leaders who
had a hand in handling the
legislation.
The measure adds enforce
ment powers to the 1858 Dis
closure Act, which required
managers of pension and well
fare plans to file public reports
on their operations with the
Secretary of Labor, but gave
him almost no power to I'M
cover or deal with abuses.
Requirements of Bill

plans operated by employers or
unions or ones jointly man

detail regarding the operations
of the plans.
2. Gives the Secretary power
to investigate violations of the
reporting provisions and to en-
force these provisions with in
functions.
3. Requires bonding of ad-
illustrators, officials and en-
ployes who handle funds and
properties. In effect, bond of
10 per cent of the amount of
funds handled is required.
4. Provides criminal penalties
for offering, accepting or
soliciting brides or kickbackS
in administering the plans, for
making false statements in the
reports, or for stealing or en-
bezzling plan funds or property.
The bride provision carries
a maximum penalty of three
years in prison and a $4,000
fine, the false statement and
theft provisions, five years and
$4,000.
Result of investigations
The bill is the fruit of a
long series of congressional in
vestigations into miSmanage-
ment of such plans extending
back almost a decade.
It is the second important
item on the Presidents 1862
legislative program to reach his
desk. Last week he signed the
manpoWer training bill.
All provisions of the new act
take effect in 80 days except
the bonding requirements for
which 1870 days are allowed.

Ambassador to the United Ma
lions and to Austria, now chief
of the foreign miniStry's Euro
pean section.
The fifth man is Ellsworth
Bunker, retired business execu-
tive and former United States
Ambassador to India, Italy and
Brazil.
Over the next few days in
quiet discussions, these five
will try to find a formula which
will permit IndoneSia and the
Netherlands to meet in formal
negotiating conference to dis
cusS the future of New Guinea.
IndoneSia's President Sukar-
no has warned that if these
preliminary secret talks fail, he
sees no alternative but to drive
the Dutch out of West New
Guinea which he claims is his
torlcally a part of Indonesia.
Conditions Outlined
The Dutch have agreed to
talk in the presence of third
party, Mr.. Bunker, but have
refused to accept any precon-
ditions, such as Indonesia'S de-
mand the negotiators discuss
only giving the Dutch territory
to Indonesia.
Dutch authorities are talking
about sending naval reinforce
ments to New Guinea if Indo-
nesia makes any move that
might threaten the safety of
some $4,000 Dutch civilians
there.
The Netherlands government
issued a communique yesterday
saying it was alarmed by con-
tinuing Indonesian threats to
use violence and indicated it is
considering measures for pro-
lection of New Guinea resi-
dents.

off a Dutch ndonesian battle
over Netherlands West New

The secret talks-betWeen
two Dutch, two Indonesians

ranged by the United States
for an undisclosed site some
20 to 80 miles from Washing

No one would say whether
the meeting would be in Mary
land at a hideaway such as
Camp David, or in Virginia at
a spot such as President Ken
nedy's estate at Glen Ora.
Neither the State Department
nor the Dutch nor Indopesian
Embassies would say a word

Mansfield Acts to Get
Early Poll Tax Vote

An about filibuster against
poll tax repeal still seems un-
likely because on this one
phase of the civil rights pro-
gram the Southerners are
sharply divided. They held
another caucus late yesterday
but. according to reliable re-
ports. again were unable to
agree on how long they should
fight the poll tax vote.
One of the first results of the
tighter rule enforcement was to
cause postponement of hearings
scheduled to begin today on an
other part of the civil rights
program-bills to curb literacy
tests for voters.
Democratic Senators Hill and
Sparkman of Alabama had
made public in advance teSti-
mony they had expected to give
today, challenging the right of
Congress to regulate literacy

Senator Hill said the Su-

as 1859 that the imposition of
a literacy test by North Caro-
lima came within the States
power to prescribe voter quail
fications. He argued. there

change literacy test without
amending the Constitution.
There are 10 States that use
