West dorm council, meeting last night, voted to have its welfare committee study the regulation. Explaining the action of the College in deciding to adopt the regulation, Dean of Men H. K.

Praises 'Antigone 7 ; Hit Of 2300 Years President Milton S. Eisenhow er said yesterday that “The Anti gone of Sophocles,” the mid-win ter production of the Penn State Players to be presented Thurs day, Friday, and Saturday nights in Schwab auditorium, is a good example of the advantages of liv ing in a college community. “In the metropolitan centers a sense of the immediate influences choice toward the new and the novel; only rarely is there revival of the Classic drama though there have been notable ‘moderniza tions’ and ‘adaptations’ in recent seasons,” Eisenhower said. But here in State College, he said, there is the opportunity to maintain contact with the great art and ideas of the past. Here students may attend a Greek drama which has been a “hit” for some 2300 years. “In the ‘Antigone’ we can re new oiir'' acquaintanceship with the fundamentals of dramatic and literary tragedy, and have a thoroughly enjoyable time doing it,” Eisenhower said. Tickets for the production went on sale yesterday at Student Union and may be purchased un til noon Saturday. Tickets for Thursday night will cost 60 cents, and for Friday and Saturday they will cost $l. Warren Smith, assistant profes sor of dramatics, is directing the play.

Need Clear Policy Abroad, the president said the United States should formulate a clear' policy in line with its basic ideals. “We must make it clear that we are united in our intention to carry out that policy,” he said. The 90 per cent of the Russian people who are not members of the Communist party, President Eisenhower said, are fertile ground for the seeds of under standing. “Certainly, many of them already see through the pretense of their masters, arid more of them would be receptive to genuine information about the outer world, particularly Am erica,” he said. Guard Freedoms In his domestic program, the president warned that mobiliza tion must not make the country lose sight of essential personal, economic, and political freedoms. “We must guard freedom of the press, while expecting the press to exercise due responsibility for the public enlightenment and safety,” he said. “We must pre serve the individual’s free choice of vocations, while requiring mili tary or industrial service; we must protect academic freedom, while employing academic insti tutions in the training of mili tary personnel and in research for military purposes; we must preserve economic freedom, while accepting essential regulation.” Speaking of Altoona’s $650,000 Hospital Completion campaign, President Eisenhower praised the project for its local aspect and freedom from dependence on gov ernment support.
