Schott reported he and William Johnson, head of the IFC Board, of Control, have met with Dean of Men Frank J. Simes and his staff-in an attempt' to find a solu tion to the problem. The board of control enforces social regulations among fraternities. The action stemmed from Wednesday's meeting of the stu- dent affairs committee where dis- satisfaction with social conditions of campus organizations was voiced. The committee specifically charged social groups with fail ure to observe and enforce rule W-4 of the Regulations for Under graduates. Schott, in elaborating on the rule, said it. includes all students and makes no exception if they are over the legal age of 21 as allowed by state law. If the rule is violated, the case is heard by the student affairs committee, he said. Since the discussion of the problem has been begun by the committee, campus opinions have tended to favor a revision of rule W-4. Feelings are that if the rule is not being observed and can not be enforced, it should be abandoned or changed. ' Many people, including All- College President Richard Lem yre, favor altering W-4 to make it ,similar to the state law regu lating serving of/ alcoholic bev erages in bars. This would al low anyone over 21 years of age to be served. Lemyre said he thought total prohibition would only result in illegal operations and work no better than it did on a national scale. He said it could cause re sumption of the dangerous drive to Bellefonte .for alcoholic bev erages.

One of the hits, a second inning double by Phil Rizzuto al ; most was caught by Carl Furillo. The other was a bloop single by Martin in the fourth.
