Blockade Crisis Continues;
Cleveland Wins World Series
PARIS The so-called “neu

stalled in their efforts to mediate
the Berlin blockade crisis.

been spent on mediation and that
the UN Security Council should
go ahead with meetings on the
issue.

Railroads Ask Increase
WASHINGTON—The American
railroads have announced they
will ask for a 13 per cent increase
in freight rates instead of eight
per cent. The eight per cent in
crease petition was filed October
1, but today the larger increase
will be demanded because of new
wage hikes.
Marshall Denies Rumors
WASHINGTON —Secretary of
State Marshall flew back to
Europe yesterday and told re
porters there was no basis for the
rumors of his resignation. The
Secretary also expressed the be
lief that America has shown the
world we have a completely
united foreign policy.
The nightly deadline, which
does not affect long-distance or
emergency calls, was adopted
“years ago” in line with the Col
lege policy of equal service for all
dorms, the supervisor said.
Asked whether the Board of
Trustees would have to approve
lifting o' the 10 p.m. ban, Mr.
Sigworth said he believed their
approval would be needed. Cam
pus telephone service is one of
the topics under discussion by
College authorities.
A factor in the adoption of the
present regulations was the re
quirement that the College fur
nish transportation for telephone
operators working after 10 p.m. A
separate switchboard is maintain
ed for dormitory telephones.
Mr. Sigworth did not predict
whether the complained-of rule
might be revised in the near
future.

PiKappaAlpha House
Flashes'Bold Look'
In Color Schemes
Members of the Pi Kappa Al
pha fraternity can have their
dreams in technicolor now that a
completely new decorating
scheme featuring bold colors in
stead of the. traditional browns
and tans has been realized at the
house. Brothers returning in the
fall had an eye-catching surprise
when they stepped into a burnt
orange living room and saw their
trophies lined up along dark
maroon walls.
A decided departure from the
old look (in fraternity decorating,
the unconventional colors add
warmth and cheerfulness to the
house, each one performing a de
finite function. The maroon of
the trophy room is a particu
larly striking emphasis for the
silver and gold trophies and
makes the room decidedly mas
culine. A pink-tinted tan ceiling
forms an excellent contrast to the
maroon and to the dark wood
work of the beams.
Another color combination es
pecially suitable from the psy
chological viewpoint is found in
the cardroom. Here bold yellow
walls topped by a black ceiling
help to give the player an adven
turous feeling. In the dining
room, lime green adds cheer in
addition to providing a colorful
background for the dark furni
ture, and in the powder room a
pink lightningish shade of fuchsia
brings about the transition from
the maculine accent to a more
ferhinine one.
Richard Shultz, house presi
dent, is proud of the fact that al
though most of the rooms have
been redecorated they were done
on a completely voluntary basis.

for all the coeds on campus this
week will see the most intensive
rushing and lead-piping of all.
The objective now is not the pros

creature—the human male.
Cause for this sudden turnabout
is the Cwens’ Dungaree Drag in
Rec Hall from 9 to 12 p.m. Satur
day. They are still better off than
the men, however, sipce it is far
easier to make calls from 5051
than to call into 5051. At least
nice a year the girls get a taste of
what it’s like to be told “I’m
sorry, but I have a date next
weekend.”
The Cwens have in the past
several years adopted the more
informal theme for the dance, or
iginally formal, with the girls
