The IFC sponsors the fall rush

According to IFC Rushing and
Pledging Regulations', no fresh

first semester. Freshmen may be
pledged in the second semester
after first semester grades are
released.
Magazine to be Distributed
The second phase of the rush
ing program will be open houses
in each fraternity from 2 to 4:30
p.m. Nov. 1. These open houses
will give independent men a
chance to see facilities for study
and recreation in each house.
Members of each fraternity will
be on hand to show visitors'
through the various houses and
to answer questions.
The third part of the rushing
program will be the distribution
of the Penn State fraternity mag
azine during the first week of
November. The booklet explains
the Penn State fraternity system
and includes information and pic
tures of each fraternity. The
magazine also contains a copy
of the IFC rushing and pledging
regulations.
Chairman List Compiled
A letter explaining the purposes
of the rushing program and pref
erential reply cards will also be
enclosed in the magazine, Coble
said. The reply cards will be used
by independent men to show in
terest in a particular fraternity
or group of fraternities. These
cards will then be compiled into
a master list for use by each fra
ternity in rushing programs.
A list of fraternity rushing
chairmen will also be compiled
and sent to resident dormitory
counselors. Independent men may
then contact the rushing chair
men of the fraternities in which
they are interested.
Prexy Discusses Relations Between Two
By CHIZ MATHIAS
Today the South American
countries have a better under
standing of the United States than
we have of our Latin American
neighbors, Dr. Milton S. Eisen
hower reported in a recent inter
view.
The Prexy sat at his desk in
203 Old Main busily preparing a
formal report on hi s summci
goodwill tour to South America.
or. Eisenhower declined com
menting on details of individual
nation's until the report is pre
sented to his brother, President
Dwight D. Eisenhower.
The goodwill emissary said he
believed much of the misunder
standing between the two Amer
icas could be cleared by more
communication between newspa
pers.
"Latin American nations pub
lish far more news about\ the
United States than we publish
on events occurring in their coun
tries," he testified.
A former journalist himself,
Dr. Eisenhower admitted that,
newspapers must concentrate
on areas of major news• rela
tionships.
"But, he said, "our relation
ships with other parts of the
world, such as Europe ,and the
Far East, are no more impor
tant to us than relationships
with Latin America. Hen c e,
news from one area merits as
much attention as that from an
other. I myself hope to see a
greater coverage of not only
'news, but features from Latin
America."
"During the 36-day trip, Dr. Eis
enhower met with government of
ficials in ten South American
countries. He was greeted by
Penn State alumni in each coun
try.

teachers an d students as one
means of building goodwill.
He. pointed out that right now
there are about 5000 students
from one country alone, Vene
zuela, matriculating in colleges
or secondary schools in the United
States.
"When these students go
home they become great inter
preters of our country and the
greatest ambassadors we have,'
he said.
While in South America Dr.
Eisenhower received an honor
ary degree corresponding to
LL.D. at the University of San
Marcos, Peru, the oldest univer
sity in the Western Hemisphere.
Central University of Vene
zuela and the University of the
Andes in ' Colombia conferred
doctorates in political science
upon the 'Prexy.
When asked how the school sys
tems of the two continents com
pare, Dr. Eisenhower replied that
the educational system varies with
each country in South America.
"S mall e r percentages go to
school than in our country, but
the number is rapidly expanding.
One is constantly impressed with
the emphasis put on the humani
ties and the social studies," he
stated.
A high rate of illiteracy still
remains in some countries, he re
ported, but the problem is being
tackled with vigor. The next ten
years should see a real increase
in literacy; he predicted.
He said that Venezuela is just
completing an entire new uni
versity city at a cost of more
than $134 million with provi
sions for a skyscraper library
housing a million volumes.
Local governments in Latin
America have contributed to
understanding by erecting bi
national institutes, as in Sao
Paulo, Brazil, where 7000 stu
dents are studying English and
American literature without the

program.
"All of South America is a
great beehive of activity. Every
where land .is being cleared for
agricultural expansion and new
industrial and educational enter
prises," he reported. "The coun
tries are now marked by an in
dustrial and educational revolu
tion typical of our country during
::he late 19th century."
He explained that this rapid
,:hange creates ne w problems.
Just as the United States depend
ed upon England for development
capital during its time of pioneer
expansion, so Latin America is de
pendent upon the U.S., he contin
ued, South America must look to
us for much of the'needed private
and public capital, he said.
Latin American far ming_
methods have traditionally
been wasteful and primitive, he
declared. However, in the past
ten years we have supplied .
much technical personnel and
"know how" to help them make
their lands more productive,
he added.

80 Independents Vote
For. Town Council
Approximately. 80 of the 3000 town independent men elected 19
represeritatives and 1.6 alternates to Town Council of the Associ
ation of Independent Men last week.
With less than three per cent of the town independents voting,
one out of every 2:2 men who voted was elected.
Chester Cherwinski, president;
Francis Mears, vice president; and
Byron Fielding, chairman of the
AIM elections committee, were
agreed that ,the turnout was the
best in recent years.
Elections were held Tuesday,
Wednesday, and Thursday eve
nings. - '
Twenty-three hundred postal
cards were sent to town inde
pendents to inform them of the
election. Approximately $5O was
spent for the cards and printing.
Cards went to town independents
who had addresses • listed in the
,temporary student directory, ex
cept eighth semester seniors.
Nevertheless, in some wards
only one or two men showed up.
In two wards, no one voted. The
highest turnout for any one ward
was 10 men. From 100 to 200 men
live in a ward.
In some cases, when only a few
men from one ward appeared;
they drew lots to pick the rep
resentative and his alternate.
No one from wards nine and
sixteeh appeared.
Cherwinski said that although
less than three per cent of those
eligible voted, he knew of no
better way to get out the vote
than to send postal cards to each
3ligible voter.
Council will hold its first meet
' ing 7:30 p.m. tomorrow in 103
Willard. Main business to be con
ducted will be the appointment
of committee members, Cher
winski said. A discussion of the
proposed reorganization of AIM
will be held, he said.
Representatives will elect four'
or five representatives-at-large to
AIM Board of Governors at to
fnovow's or a later meeting, ac
cording to Mears.

Dr. Eisenhower told of th e
health problem in Brazil. First the
national drive for preventative
measures was financed largely by
U.S. funds, he said. Now, .wit l / 4
great success being achieved, our
part is smaller, he declared: Bra

costs from its own funds.
National governments have set
up Servicios, Dr. Eisenhower said,
to manage the technical assistance
program. The Servicio is an ad
ministrative method of permitting
each government to manage agri
cultural, health and other pro
grams with technical personnel
from the U.S. serving as technical
consultants.
"The Servicio movement is

the captain of the team winning
the Penn State-TCU game.
The_ cup was inscribed with the
names of the players of both
teams, the final score and the
date.
The committee in charge of the
dance received many comments
concerning "The Tenth Wonder
of the World," William Shifflett,
committee co-Chairman, reported.
All comments were favorable, he
said.
The "Tenth Wonder" consisted
of stamping the hands of those
attending the dance with a sub
stance which could • only be. de
tected with ultra-violet light. This
served to prevent the splitting of
tickets and to aid in computing
tickets sold, Shifflett said.
• Approximately 532 attended the
dance.
