Simes Says
No Change
On Drinking
No change in the present policy
of enforcement of drinking at
fraternities is planned by the Col
lege, Dean of Men Frank J. Simes
told fraternity presidents and In
terfraternity Council representa
tives at a meeting last night.
The meeting was called by the
Dean of Men's office in an attempt
to clarify College and state regu
lations on drinking, according to a
statement read by Dean Simes.
Simes' statement explained that
the College regulation W-4 which
forbids alcoholic beverages at so
cial functions, includes beer—bot
tled, or in any other form.
The summation of the statement
urged a program of "dry" social
activities in houses.
The statement closed with the
opinion that fraternities can best
adjust to the present limits by ac
cepting the "practical necessity"
for such rules, and "to organize a
social program which is stimulat
ing and enjoyable and which does
not involve the serving of alcohol
ic beverages."
The College is not charged with
the enforcement of state laws in
volving minor drinking, Simes
told the presidents, btit it "cannot
permit" the serving of alcoholic
beverages, by fraternities in viola
tion of these laws.
Simes expressed his hope for
"continued mutual respect and
confidence". between the fraterni
ties and the dean's office. He also
assured the presidents that "we
will work through the IFC "to in
form fraternities of any change of
policy."
He stressed the need for not de
pending on "rumors" for the facts
in any situation that may arise.

ed American-Korean Foundation,

mer Bevis, executive director of
the organization.
Although it was reported in the

President accepted the chairman
ship, Richard Maloney, admini

President, clarified the appoint
ment as one of an advisory ca
pacity. He explained that Dr.
You Chan Yang, Korean ambas
sador to the United States, will
serve as honorary co-chairman
with the Prexy.
Maloney said the appointment
will not affect the President's
duties at the College, and that
the position will not require a
great deal of the President's ef
forts away from the campus.
In a prepared statement, the
Prexy, a close observer of the
Korean situation, said, "I . have
discussed the invitation to be
come chairman of the foundation
with several friends,' including
John Foster Dulles, and the con
sensus is that I should undertake
this responsibility 'in behalf of
the heroic, long-suffering Korean
people. •I have great admiration
for the steadfast manner in which
the Korean nation is meeting the
challenge of Communist aggres
sion.
Dorm Proposal
Turned Down
The Dean of Men's student advisory committee yesterday
turned down the proposed plan to set up veterans' dormitories in
the Nittany-Pollock area.
The results of a poll conducted among veterans showed that
only about 50 per cent of the veterans in the Nittany-Pollock area
were interested in moving from their own dormitories to an all
veteran dormitory. The poll, su
pervised by Matthew Halchin,
counselor in Pollock, was conduct
ed before the Thanksgiving vaca
tion and reached all veterans in
the East dormitory area. A second
poll was conducted Friday and
reached 75 per cent of the veter
ans in Pollock.

STATE COLLEGE, .'A., TUESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 16, 1952
In Friday'S poll, 66 veterans were
contacted. Of the 66, 36 said they
were willing to move into an all
veteran dormitory, and 30 said
they' were not willing to move.
Only 23 of the 36 who said they
were willing to move wished to
move immediately.
The committee decided to con
tinue the plan which is now in ef
fect for students who are extremely
dissatisfied with dormitory study
conditions. William Griffith, under
graduate dormitory counselor, said
students who can not study in their
dormitories shciuld consult their
dormitory counselors. The counse
lors are permitted to try to have
thd student transferred to another
dormitory in the same area.
Wants 'Core' of Vets
Dean of Men Frank J. Simes said
more veterans of the Korean War
are expected next semester and
next year. The committee - decided
that the expected influx of veterans
would disturb dormitory organiza
tion and would provide too :many
complications if a policy of seg
regation were carried out.
• Simes said that he hopes a
"core" of veterans and older stu
dents can be set up in each dormi
tory in the future to help younger
students entering college become
accustomed to dormitory life.
The question of possible segre
gation and the subsequent poll were
considered when complaints were
made by veterans about noise in
dormitories.
