Officials Take Action
On Violated Dorm Rule
Approximately 150 hot plates and percolators were removed
from rooms in both men’s and women’s dormitories during the
Spring vacation.
The action was taken by College officials after several appeals,
directed largely at the Tri-dorm area, were ignored. There is a Col
lege regulation which prohibits cooking in the dormitories.'
According to Daniel A. ! ' I
ino, assistant dean of men, this q. I
has been a problem for a longj I UflClli IO v7IV6
time. The dorms are “not estab
lished for that purpose,” he said,
but “for sleeping and study pur
poses only.” He said that the
goods taken “will be returned
when ever the owner leaves cam
pus this Spring.” They have been
marked and stored in the mean
time.
Sentiment against the move
seemed bitter in the dorms, how
ever, with the possibility that
Pollock and Nittany Councils will
take some action to protest the
search.
Demarino cited the annoyance
caused by smoke and cooking
odors,, and fire hazards as the rea
son .for the regulation. He also
said that coffee is provided in the
PUB.

‘Fight Reds With Ideas’-StJohn
By HERBERT STEIN
Communism cannot be fought
with any weapon other than a
better idea, Robert St. John said
here last night.
Speaking in Schwab auditorium
for the final Community Forum
program, St. John warned that
the United States cannot export
this better idea along with atomic
bombs. Though the U.S. has this
idea, he said, it has not tried to
export it to the countries of Eu
rope, that might turn to Commun
ism.
In Greece, for example, the U.S.
has demanded the people., choose
between their old monarchy or
communism and told them that
“they better not choose commun
ism,” he said.
Never Given A Chance
“But we have never given ".hem
a chance at our way of life,” he
continued.

States.
90 Per Cent Back Tito
He estimated that today there
are 90 per cent supporting Tito.
The gain is due to recruiting of
those who didn’t like the tie with
Russia which has now been brok
en, he said.
Three factors were listed as
leading directly to the Tito-Stalin
break. They were:
1. Tito wanted to adopt com
munism to the conditions in Yugo
slavia while the Russians wanted
him to copy the soviet system.
. 2. Tito wanted to industrialize
the country while Russia wanted
to keep it rural and dependent on
the Soviets.
3. The Yugoslavs, are a fiercely
independent people with long and
belligerent traditions of protect
ing their independence.
In discussing the rise of com
munism in Yugoslavia, St. John
pointed to the feudal land system
which has existed since the coun
try was created after the first
World War. He also singled out

Campaigns End
As Both Parties
Urge Huge Vote
By JACK BjQDDINGTON
The question of who is to take
the reins of student government
next year will be decided at the
campus polls tomorrow and
Thursday.
The election will conclude sev
eral weeks of active campaigning
by the State and Lion parties,
during which candidates have
toured fraternities and dormitory
units enlisting support for them
selves and their party platforms.
Keynote of the campaign has
been an appeal for more students
to vote, with both cliques assert
ing that greater effectiveness in
student government affairs can be
attained through stronger evi
dence of support. The elections
committee too, under chairman
William Shade, has urged a record
turnout at the polls.
Top Contenders
Top among contenders for stu
dent offices are Blair Green and
Robert Davis, State and Lion par
ty candidates for all-College pres
ident. Also to be selected are
presidents of the senior and junior
classes and vice-presidents and
secretary treasurers in each of the
three categories. President of the
Athletic Association will also be
selected.
Musi Present Cards
Balloting will begin in the
lounge of Old Main at 9 o’clock
tomorrow morning and continue
until 5 o’clock, with the procedure
duplicated Thursday. Students
will be required to present their
matriculation cards to receive bal
lots which will be available at
tables arranged alphabetically for
that purpose.
All students will be permitted
to vote for all-College officers, but
ballots for class officials will be
restricted to members for the re
spective classes.
Both, the campaign and the elec
tion are subject to provisions of
the elections code and violations

than nine and not more than 99.
