John W. Powell will end a 17- /ear career with the Federal Bu- greau of Investigation to become |ecurity director and associate pan of students. Salt’s a new concept of law en- |cement as far as university fee departments go,” Powell said today. “To my knowledge, it will be one of the first times a university police chief will have facultyfstatus. It deals not only with the campus police, but with , the students, faculty, and the community, too.” Heads Campus Police Powell, who is in his 40s, will be .the man in charge of the uni- Rio Gets Ready For Ike’s Visit RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil UP) -—Brazil’s beautiful waterfront capital readied a tremendous ova tion for President Eisenhower to day. The U. S. chief executive faced a jam-packed schedule in- . eluding speeches and more talks with President Juscelino Kubits- chek. A good share of Rio de Janei ro’s three million residents were expected to fill the streets of the flag-decked city to greet the President on his arrival from Brasilia, the nation’s future cap ital being built 600 miles to the northwest. versity’s 64-man campus police force, the school’s representative in town-and-gown relations, and —he hopes—a friend of the stu dents. He says the biggest job will probably be maintaining good re lations between the university and the city. Yale, which has about 4,000 energetic undergrad uates, is built right in the cen ter of New Haven, a city of 169,- 000. Tension Is Strong Tension between the school and the town is often strong. It was strong just a month ago, when the widely publicized “sex in the dormitory” case came to light. That case led to Powell’s ap pointment Monday. Twenty students were charged with lascivious carriage, a gen eral charge, after it was alleged they had indulged in sexual play with a 14-year-old girl in a dormitory. The campus police investiga ted the case for several days be fore the New Haven police knew about it. When the case was pub licized, it was reported that Yale’s handling of the matter had caused friction between the university and the city. The campus police chief was reassigned to another job. Pow ell, as security director, will take over the campus police chief’s job. The 20 students arrested in the sex case paid $25 to $50 fines after they pleaded no contest in city court Jan. 27. by JifTl Ecirle Reports from Other Colleges J Waivers, Poor Student Aid Top Intercollegiate News Exceptional students are now eligible to have. certain courses waived at Michigan State Uni versity, according to Dean Ed ward Carlin. Carlin stated that the new program, developed after 18 months of discussion, is open to new students, transfer students and presently enrolled students “with particularly strong aca demic backgrounds who feel they are prepared for certain pro grams in the Basic College.” The new waiver plan applies to Basic College courses involving com- of these students have maintain ed a grade average of “70” or better..
