Edward Pollock, assistant to the dean of men in charge of fraternity affairs, has , cleared University fraternities of’ any re sponsibility for damage done to evergreens during the past Christ mas season. In a letter to fraternity men, Pollock said it seemed no houses were involved in the acts after carefully considering information from the groups and conducting a personal investigation. He had previously sent letters to fraterni ties regarding the source of Christ mas trees and greens used in the chapter houses. Pollock pointed out in his cur rent letter, however, that the fact fraternities were under suspicion demonstrates the need for a re newed program of community re lations such as is carried on by many groups privately and through the Interfraternity Coun cil's Greek Week program. The first letter was prompted by the reaction that fraternity men were responsible for damage to trees in the University forestry plots. Pollock asked for the in formation on the houses’ ever green sources which led to the denial of the charges.

Chaturvedi (left) and Ramesh chandra P. Sirkar study their notes in the wing of Schwab .Audi torium prior to taking the stage to debate with Richard Kirschner and Benjamin Sinclair, Penn State representatives. The four men discussed Indian foreign policy, with the Indian team taking the affirmative. Aslan Pact Argued In Exchange Debate A military alliance between India and the non-Communist na tions of Asia was proposed by the -University debate team ,as essen tial to peace in the Far East and flailed as J futile by a team from India last- night in Schwab Auditorium. Mrigdendra K. Chaturvedi, of Marharaja College, Jaipur, India, and Rameshchandra P. Sirkar of Elphinstone College, Bombay, In dia, argued the affirmative to the proposition, “Resolved: That In dian foreign policy offers the only hope. of world peace” and Benja min Sinclair and Richard .Kirsch ner, of the Penn State debate team argued the negative before an audience of approximately 500. Suggest Mediator Chaturvedi asserted that peace ful co-existence between the non- Communist and. Communist world is essential to world peace, with India maintaining a third ■ power mediator’s role. An alliance is nei ther practical nor desirable, he said Neutrality has always failed, Sinclair argued. Throughout his tory, he said, it has brought dev astation. Communism, which knows no ethics, saps on a nation’s neutrality and crumbles the neu trals’ governments one at a time. “The myth of neutrality has be trayed the world,” Sinclair said. Communism spreads because its THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 18. 1954 By MIKE FEINSILBER doctrine offers “economic justice” to hungry peoples, Sirkar said. If peoples are granted economic achievement, the “Backbone of the Communist idealology is brok en” and it falls of its own weight. Sirkar also pointed out that In dia is in no position to threaten aggressors. “We would be utter ing empty' threats. This leads to self-destruction,” he said. The Indian students questioned the support the United States gives dictatorships, such as Tito’s. This, they maintained, is incon sistent with U.S. ideals. The In dians charged the United States with abandoning its traditional policy of self-determinism. “The West is strong enough to accept •this principle, but it does not,” Sirkar said. The debate was broadcast over WDFM. Wil'iam H. Gray, head of the department of history, served as moderator. India No Threat
