Red Tape, Red Tape,
All 'A Time Red Tape
It seems that somebody

Housing officials and the
campus patrol were upset over
the report and made a check
to see if a door was missing.

Grad School
Men Subject
To Tribunal
Full authority to try graduaie
students for traffic violations
was given to Tribunal yesterday
by Harold K. Wilson, dean of
men.
In clarifying an issue which
arose after a graduate student
claimed Tribunal had no juris
diction over students who were
not represented on All-College
cabinet or Tribunal, Wilson said
no representative of the Graduate
school will be needed when try
ing such cases.
Dean Schilling Intervenes
Wilson said that Harold K.
Schilling, dean of the Graduate
school, gave the dean of men's
office complete jurisdiction over
all violations by graduate stu
dents.
Wilson added that he, in turn,
delegated the power to try all
traffic violations by graduate
students to Tribunal. *.
Neil See, Tribunal ch air m a n,
said Monday that cases involv
ing graduate students have been
brought before Tribunal "for
years," and that the only reason
this controversy did not, arise
earlier was that nobody protested
the fines or Tribunal's jurisdic
tion.
Schilling said the case increas
es his desire to have a Graduate
council and be represented on
All-College cabinet. He said that
he has been working with the
dean of men's office for several
days in order to get graduate
representation on cabinet.
See said yesterday that the
next Tribunal session will be
Thursday night.

The backbone of the communist government in China today is
the youth of the nation, Dr: Paul V. Taylor, former professor of
education at Huachung university, China, said yesterday.
Dr. Taylor, who lived for 15 months under communist rule,
'spoke at a Religion -in - Life seminar yesterday afternoon
To further the functioning of
the present Central People's gov
ernment, officials asked all stu
dents who were graduated in June
to enter governmental service, Dr.
Taylor said. These students were
trained as secret police, interpre
ters, and placed elsewhere in gov
ernment posts
Dissenters Arrested
Dissenters among the popula
tion are arrested, brought to
schools, and taught to conform to
communist doctrine, he continued.
If the re-education fails, the per
son disappears. There are no pub
lic executions for oppostion as
under the Chiang Kai-shek gov
ernment, Dr. Taylor said.

Central People's government, ac

Soldiers Fed, Paid Most
In order to restrain the masses
from revolting, Dr. Taylor said
the soldiers of the People's Lib

dled by more clever persons than
was Chiang Kai-shek's rule, he
said.

percentage figures, forty percent
opposed the Communists, twenty
