The committee also warned that holding :.parties in hotel rooms in connection with away football games 'must be controlled. • The committee. said the stu dents., charged with conduct pre judicial to the good name of the University, have admitted that most of the damage to their suite at the Bellevue-Stratford had oc curred," but that it was accidental and had resulted from crowded conditions in the room.

We mean serv ice—service that is effective, service that is • prompt, service that is single-mindedly devoted to solving the probleni." Lists Accomplishments After ticking off a dozen accom plishments with which lie credited the administration in the past year—the end of fighting in Korea came first—Eisenhower added one more.
