To Discuss
.Accrediting
• College officials Will meet today
with F. Taylor Jones, 'executive_
assistant to the secretary of the
Middle States Association of Col
leges and Secondary Schools, to
discuss arrangements for re-valu
discuss arrangements for re-evalu
of the academic program in the
association.
Jones will meet *ith school
deans and department heads at
9 a.m. in' 121 Sparks.
The association has been in
vited to visit and inspect the Col
lege in the fall of 1955 as part
of its program of visiting ac:
credited colleges in its region,
Adrian 0. Morse, College provost,
has announced.
In revealing the plans last
spring, Wilmer E. Kenworthy,
director of student affairs, said
• re-evaluation will involve having
a 20 to 30 member representative
team from other schools spend
several days at the College. They
will check facilities, policies, pro=
cedures, the construction prograth
and other factors affecting the
quality of education offered stu
dents, he said.
He noted that the accrediting
procedure serves the College in
two ways:
(1) The College considers it es
sential to be accredited by the
existing _accrediting agenCy.
Otherwise, diplomas and transfer
credits from the College would
have little value.
(2) The accrediting procedure is
the basis of a very worthwhile
and thorough self-evaluation of
the College and its facilities.
Statistics and information about
each school Must be compiled be
fore the accrediting team arrives,
Kenworthy explained. Then ac
credited status is granted or de
nied after a study of these re
ports and f r o - in information
gathered by the inspection team
themselves, he said. •

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., Oct. 29 (AP)—Stirred by American
public horror, the U.S. delegation said here tonight it will place
before all the 60 United Nations the Army's documented, photo
graphic record of Communist atrocities in Korea.
Whether it will call on the UN General Assembly to pass juclg-
ment and condemn the „perpetra
tors of the deeds was not
closed immediately. •
A terse announcement 'f ro m
chief U.S. Delegate' Henry Cabot
Lodge Jr., said:
"The United States is placing
on the-.agenda of the General As
sembly the United States Army
re p o r t on atrocities committed
against captives in Korea by Com
munist forces." •
The report from the Army War
Crimes Division, made public yes
terday, told of the deaths by mur
der, torture and starvation of 29,-
815 persons behind Red lines in
Korea. Of these, 6113 were Amer

"do all in its power to see to it
that the people guilty of these
atrocities be brought before a war
crimes commission and punished
for their actions as expeditiously
as possible."
Lodge made his announcement
before receiving Mansfield's let

It was, however, merely .a state

Two Night Carnival
A recommendation for the annual Spring Carnival to be held two nights, May 12 and 13,
was given final approval last night by All-College Cabinet.

3 Students
Deny Hotel
Accusations
The three students accused of
causing excessive damage in the
Bellevue-Stratford Hotel in Phil
adelphia during the. Penn game
weekend have denied the charges
and are seeking clearance from
the hotel.
The cases of possible miscon
duct are being investigated by
the Dean of Men's office. In the
meantime, the students involved
are contacting the hotel for a
further explanation, Dean of Men
Frank J. Simes, • said.
Another letter has been re
ceived from the hotel, Simes said,
describing a damaged room for
which the registrant signed a fic
titious name.
The reports from the hotel de
scribe damage in two suites. - The
students contacted by the hotel
registered in these suites.
The report had been requested
by the Dean, of Men's office to
gather information about_ specific
damages at the hotel. General
charges of student misconduct
had been made Oct. 9 by Ben
nett E. Tousley, vice president
and general manager of the Belle
vue-Stratford, in a letter to the
College.
Tickets are still available at
the Atheltic Association office
window for the Penn State-West
Virginia game tomorrow, the Ath
letic Association office reported
yesterday.
Rumors circulating earlier in
the week that tickets were sold
out are false, according to Harold
C. Gilbert, assistant director of
athletics. Il'owever, reservations
for tickets will not be accepted
unless a money order or check
is sent with the request, he said.
About 2500 students from West
Virginia are expected to attend
the game. This is the number of
tickets sent to the university,
which reported a complete sell
out, Gilbert said. He expects a
crowd of about 25,000 at the game.

s passed after cabinet rejecter
to have a one day, class-free
carnival May 12. This proposal
had been presented to cabinet
Oct. 15 by George Richards,
chairman of Spring Week.
Schott Approve's Plan
Richards told cabinet last night
that booths for the carnival would
be set up Tuesday evening. This
might necessitate, he said, hold
ing some Spring Week 'event on
the Sunday evening preceeding
the carnival.
Thomas Schott, president of
the Interfraternity Council, in
making the motion to accept the
new proposal, called the recom
mendation ',the most feasible sol
ution" to the carnival problem.
Several campus organizations, in
cluding IFC, had rejected the
original holiday because one day
of the spring recess Would be re
moved to provide for the holiday.
In other actions, cabinet ac
cepted the report of the orienta
tion week counseling committee
which called for the elimination
of the $9.25 reimbursement coun
selors receive. Michael Jordan,
chairman of the committee, told
cabinet that the orientation meet
ings are now held late enough in
the week and that the counselors
have to return to campus in order
to register by time of the meet
ings.
New Members Listed
Jordan — further recommended
that the committee be adjusted
to eliminate more than one mem
ber of the committee belonging
to the same fraternity on future
committees. "This is not true of
college life," Jordan said. "Nor is
true representation of fraterni
ties."
He recommended that members
of the new committee be Edward
Fleming, a member of the present
committee, Edward Miller, James
Bowers and Thomas Kidd. Those
appointed are members of differ
ent fraternities. Jordan said.
