Nittany Council
Will Restrict
Vote on AIM
Nittany Council resolved last
night to forbid its representatives
on the AIM Board of Governors
from voting on issues raised un
der new business and upon which
the council has not taken prior
action.
The council, at the same time,
rejected a proposal which would
have forced its representatives to
vote as instructed by the council.
A controversy arose last week
when the authority of the AIM
board - was questioned in its ac
tion on the McCoy seating plan.
At that time, the board rejected
the plan even though two of the
dorm councils had not taken any
stand on the proposal.
The council - then voted unani
mously to reject both parts of
Dean McCoy's plan. It had re
ceived a letter from McCoy pre
viously explaining the plan, but
had refrained from taking ,any
action on it because the AIM
board had already voted on it and
had rejected it.
The - council also voted in favor
of the newly proposed plan for
the establishment of an AIM Ju
dicial Board of Review.
A 'discussion on the possibility
of 'appropriating funds for the
Barons, the Nittany and Pollack
social organization, has been tab
led for the next meeting.
Childs Hopes for Communism Stu
By DICK RAU
Hope that a high-level commis
sion will be appointed by Presi
dent-elect Dwight D. Eisenhower
to study problems of communism
was expressed last night by Mar"-
quis Child s, Washington news
columnist •
Childs, who opened the Com
munity Forum series before an
audience of about 400 in Schwab
Auditorium; said that the com
mission would have to consider
two main problems: first, whether
the security of the c o u n tr y is
being threatened, and, second,
whether the freedom of the Amer
ican people is being threatened
by accusations of guilt by associ
ation.
The columnist decried the use
of communism as a "political
football" and said that the impor
tant question was not ' one of
catching communists, but one •of

the American people re-discover
ing their own faith.
The question of what to do
about Korea was listed by Childs
as :one of the most important is
sues of the recent political cam
paign. General Eisenhower must
find a new approach to the N . 7 . ar in
Korea where, possibly, there is no
new guide to its solution, he said.
Childs condemned the use of
the Korean war issue in the poli
tical campaign. He said that the
war' was an obnoxious issue in
the minds of the American people
and that its appeal was one for
the emotions.
Military men were distressed,
the columnist said, with Eisen
hower's statement that South Ko
rean troops should be used to re
place United Nations forces in
Korea. Childs said that 50 or 60
per cent of the South Korean
troops were combat trained and
FOR A BETTER PENN STATE
Vacation Extension
Vetoed by Cou
The Council of 'Administration yesterday disapproved a request from All-College Cabinet to
extend the Thanksgiving recess and to shorten' the Christmas recess, according to Richard C. Maloney,
secretary.
The request asked that the Thanksgiving recess begin 11:50 a.m. Nov. 22 instead of 11:50 a.m.
Nov. 25, and that the Christmas recess end 8 a.m. Jan. 5 instead of 1:10 p.m. Jan. 6.
Committee
Will Discuss
Dating Rules
The revised West Dorm dating
code and the Interfraternity Coun
cil letter requesting an extension
of dating privileges for freshman
women will be the two main dis
cussion topics when the College
Senate committee on student af
fairs meets at 9 a.m. today.
Action on the code was post
poned last week pending an inves
tigation by Dean of Men Frank J.
Simes. Points for investigation
were the suggested schedule of
hours and the organization and
responsibilities of the proposed
executice committee. Simes will
report on his findings at the meet
ing today.
The letter requesting an exten
sion of dating privileges for
freshman women sent to the com
mittee by the IFC was withdrawn
until this week by All-College
President John Laubach, acting in
the absence of IFC president, Ar
thur Rosfeld. The reason for the
withdrawal, as explained by Ros
feld, was the negative approach
that committee members might
have taken to the request after
an article explaining the letter ap
peared in the Daily Collegian. The
tone of the article was not con
ducive to passage of the request,
he explained.
The letter - asks that freshman
women be permitted to d4te in
fraternities with chaperons for
their first semester and that they
be allowed privileges under the
IFC unchaperoned dating code
their second semester.
The proposed dating code would
permit dating in the lounges of
Hamilton, Irvin, and McKee Halls
and in the recreation rooms of
Hamilton and McKee between 2
p.m. and 1 a.m. Fridays and Sat
urdays and between 2 and 10 p.m.
Sundays. The code provides for
chaperons to be provided by resi
dent counselors.
Fire Department Called
To Professor's Home
The State College fire depart
ment was called early Saturday
morning to the E. Prospect avenue
home of Neil Riemer, assistant
professor of political scie n c e,
when .hot ashes ignited a card
board container in the basement.
Sinoke damage was reported.
In a letter to John Laubach,
All-College president, Maloney
said: "Members of the Council
of Administration expressed the
opinion that the proposed chan
ges would disrupt a considerable
number of plans that have al
ready been made in the area of
instruction, such as the schedul
ing of speakers, films, examina
tions. and field trips."
Proposal Introduced Thursday
Of the 20 members of the coun
cil, there were 11 regular mem
bers present and nine substitutes.
Wilmer E. Kenworthy, director of
student affairs and member of
the council, said , the proposal
was discussed thoroughly.
Kenworthy added that the short
time between the date the pro
posal was introduced and the
dates it would affect was a fac
tor in the decision. _
The proposal was introduced
at cabinet by Arthur Rosfeld,
president of Interfraternity Coun
cil, in the fc r m of a motion
Thursday.
Loss Affects 2d Proposal
Another proposal asking for a
half-holiday on the day of the
Penn State - University of Pitts
burgh football game, Nov. 22,
contained a conditional clause.
The request asked for the half
holiday "if the football team wins
its next two (Syracuse and Rut
gers) games."
The loss of the Syracuse game
Saturday would therefore negate
this proposal.
College Rejects
Pitt Telecast
A spokesman for the Athletic
office said yesterday that an of
fer made by the DuMont tele
vision network to telecast the
Pitt-Penn State game can not be
considered because of National
Collegiate Athletic Association
rules.
The College will abide by the
NCAA rules which say that that
group must designate the football
games to be telecast, the spokes
man said. He • expects a similar
refusal from Pitt.
The invitation to televise the
game came from the president of
the DuMont network, Dr. Allen
B. DuMont, who sent the invita
tions to the Naval Academy and
nine colleges and universities, in
cluding Penn State. The •spokes
man for the Athletic Association
pointed out that the offer is an
attempt by the television industry
to break through the bounds of
NCAA rulings.
that two or three inexperienced
divisions would be added to re
place combat trained UN troops.
Childs expressed a fear that
eventual withdrawal of all Ameri
can troops from Korea and the
resulting turn-over of combat re
sponsibilities to the Republic of
Korea would tend to remove Ko
rea and its problems from the
American mind.
The campaign issue of prosper
ity was described by the columnist
as "the phoniest issue of the cam
paign." Childs said that the issue
was "phoney" for both major
political parties.
In describing Eisenhower's early
campaign moves, Childs stated
that Eisenhower said the people
had to be reached through emo
tions—that there was no time for
reason.lri this respect, the colum
nist described the campaign as a
