STATE COLLEGE, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 20, .1953 Home Talks The secretary, expressing cau tious optimism about the outcome of the London talks, was greeted by Communist China's agreement to meet with the United Nations allies at Panmunjom Monday to arrange the time and place of the Korean peace conference—but in sisted that the Panmunjom talks must also settle the question of what nations will join in the full scale conference later. Accepted Proposal, Amid these problems, Dulles was confronted with a new twist in setting the stage for a Korean peace parley. This time the Chinese Com munists accepted a proposal to meet at Panmunjom a week,from today, but again insisted that neutral nations be allowed to join in the peace conference at a later date. The United States has stead fastly contended that only the two belligerent sides should sit down . at the peace parley, with the UN allies and South Korea on one side and Red China and North Korea on the other, plus Russia if the Communists invite her.

Autumn Ban Go on Sale Customs: A Funeral rgtatt Is Long Due— See Page 4 Dean of Men's Office Raises Protests Against AIM Reorganization Plan Objections to the method of reorganizing the Association of In dependent Men have been raised by the Dean of Men's office. Re-. organization plans were presented to the dean of men by AIM for examination and suggestions. - - A meeting of all elected representatives of AIM has been called for 7:30 p.m. tomorrow in 119 Os mond. At that time, Toe Somers, president of AIM, will present the work of the reorganization com mittee headed by William Shiff lett. "We are not opposed by any means to the reorganization of AIM," reported Frank J. Simes, dean of ,men, "but the group has a heritage to consider in the past structure of AIM." Equality of Representation Reorganization should proceed within the framework :of the pre sent structure, he said, or, other wise, by a referendum of all in dependent men. These are the only two democratic processes possible for reorganizing AIM, he added. Another criticism was voiced in the claim by the Dean of Men's office that the proposed constitu tion does not provide for equality of representation between the various living areas and the town area. The present representation is about as exact as possible, Simes said. Furthermore, he added, the pre sent-set-up is the most equal that can be reached within the frame work of the dormitories as the basic unit of representation. For representation would be less pro portional in the new proposal, he said. Separate Representation A similar objection to the pre sent plan was raised by Ray Evert, graduate student and resi dent counselor, who was a rep resentative in the AIM organiza tion during 1950-51, and treasurer of AIM during 1951-52. The old AIM, he said, was simi lar to the organization that has been proposed with the exception that each dormitory and town unit had a separate representative from the one elected to the coun cils. These representatives met in a type of General Assembly simi lar to the one proposed, he said, but found- it difficult to function because of its size and the lack of general interest. The present organization of AIM is much more effective than the proposed plan would be, Evert said. Establish General Assembly There has been no clear provi sion for the area councils under the proposed constitution, Simes said, nor whether the councils are to remain as political entities or to function only for social pro gramming. The reorganization, as prepared by the AIM reorganization corn mittee, would establish a Gen eral Assembly of all elected rep resentatives of AIM. This group would meet monthly and act upon an agenda prepared by an ad , (Continued on page eight) Tickets Today A surprise feature of the ball will be the unveiling of the "Tenth Wonder of the World," Shifflett said.
