If so, it would be one of a series of talks concerning the issue. Early in December Dean of Men Frank J. Simes said the unchap eroned dating code was a "dor mant issue." This was a few weeks after the Dean of Men's office and IFC agreed to follow the interpre tation of the dating code in effect at the beginning of the year un til a more workable solution than the University's new interpreta tion could be formulated. Under the interpretation set for t h by the administration, chaperones would be required in all cases except incidental dating. This would mean that chaperones would be necessary for all orches tra and record dances, pledge dances, exchange dinners, Friday and Saturday night parties, func tions on houseparty weekends and similar activities. The IFC opposed the new inter pretation because it believed it would be impossible for any house to secure the necessary chaperones for all these events. The .group also felt the presence of chaper ones at all such events would be undesirable. ' Agreement to follow the old interpretation, according to IFC president Thomas Schott, was the result of an IFC meeting in which the new interpretation of the code was declared unenforceable. It was decided a list of grievances against the code should be drawn up and presented to the Dean of Men. This was done and the de cision to follow the old code was made, Schott said. Three solutions to the problem had been proposed: 1. Permanent reinstatement of the dating code as formerly inter preted. This was considered the most favorable solution by IFC. 2. The possibility of fraternity housemothers. This alternative, was rejected because IFC felt' most fraternities would be unable to bear the added financial bur den and that most houses do not have adequate facilities for quar tering housemothers. 3. Acceptance of the administra tion's interpretation of the dating code.

McCarthy's Attacks. apposed by Hall WASHINGTON, March 2 (p)— The chairman of the Republican National Committee said today he can't "go along" with .. Sen. Jos eph McCarthy (R-Wis) when Mc- Carthy attacks those "who are fighting communism just as con scientiously as he is." The GOP political chief, Leon ard W. Hall, spoke out after a con ference with President Dwight D. Eisenhower. "I don't like the situation as it developed last week," Hall said, apparently referring to the col lision between McCarthy a n d Secretary of the Army Stevens. The Wisconsin senator has accus ed the Army of "coddling Com munists," while Stevens said he would not "accede to" the brow beating of Army officers during the investigation. Hall said he had discussed the "so-called McCarthy situation" FOR A BETTER PENN STATE STATE COLLEGE, PA.: WEDNESDAY MORNING, MARCH 3, 1954 New EFcition Co • ' e To IG:* to .Cabinet ELIZABETH ENGLE, All-University elections committee member, discusses a proposed amendment to the elections code with Ben jamin.

Centennial Plans May Double Visitors The usual number of groups visiting the University campus dur ing an academic year probably will be doubled during next year's Centennial celebration, according to John Fishburn, conference co ordinator. Fishburn said yesterday about 300 groups are expected to visit the University during 1955 for meetings, conferences, demonstra tions, and other functions spon sored by University divisions. Tentative listings show 135 oc casions scheduled by off-campus groups. Fishburn said emphasis is being placed on inviting small distinguished national groups to make use of University and State College facilities for the first time. Increased participation of groups which regularly visit the Univer sity is also being encouraged, he I said The majority of conferences are held from one to five days, ac cording to Otto E. Mueller, direc tor of housing. There are also sev eral month-long courses offered by the College of Agriculture and the General Extension Division of the University, he said. Present listings show that 23,- 878 conference delegates will meet (Continued on page eight) with the President, but he did not say what the President's reaction was. James C. Hagerty, White House press secretary, had noth ing to say about the conference except to point out that Eisen hower will hold a news conference tomorrow. This indicated th e President might make a state ment then. "My feeling is this," Hall said. "While. Joe McCarthy is fighting communism I go along and we all go along. When he begins to attack persons who are fighting com munism just as conscientiously as he is, I can't go along with him." At a later point Hall told the newsmen he did not think any one would say that "generals in our Army are not fighting corn munism." Stevens contends that McCarthy humiliated and abused Brig. Gen.

Informa tion is available from the law school, Boston, Mass. mander of Camp Kilmer, NJ., in a recent interrogation about the honorable discharge of Maj. Irv ing Peress, a New York dentist whom McCarthy calls "a fifth amendment Communist." Hall said he thought a cure for the situation might be found in changing the rules of committee proceure, a question which the Republican Polk' , Committee in the Senate is now studying. Hall, ask e d by a reporter whether he thought last week's developments were harmful to the' party, replied "any internal bickering is harmful in a sense." McCarthy, meanwhile, express ed dissatisfaction with a State Department order stripping R. W. Scott McLeod of personnel au thority. He said he will demand an official explanation of why McLeod had his hiring and firing powers taken away from him. Permanent Registration See Page 4 By GEORGE BAIREY The complete controversial fraternity-independent provi sion of the spring elections code will not be in the code when it is presented to All- University Cabinet tomorrow night. The code must be approved by cabinet before it will go into ef fect. Final approval of the spring elections code was giv en last night by the elections committee after the controversial provision was amended. The original pro vision was defeated, 6-4. The revised amendment pro vides that the office of All-Univer sity president will rotate each year between a fraternity man and an independent man. It pro vided that this year's president will be an , independent man. The new amendment also stip ulated that a fraternity man shall never oppose an independent man in any election. The original amendment, passed last week by the committee, con tained a complete rotation system of the three All-University offi ces and the provision that a frat ernity man could not oppose an independent man in any election. The final approved provision, in essence, eliminated the appli cation of an overall rotation sys tem that would cover All-Univer sity offices. The new system will not apply to the offices of All- University vice president and sec retary-treasurer. It does not apply to either senior or junior class offices. Benjamin Sinclair, Lion Party clique chairman, and Kenneth White, chairman of the State Party advisory board, jointly pre sented their views on the proposed rotation provision to the commit tee before the official meeting. They claimed it would be "politi cal suicide" to run a fraternity man against an independent man. White said after the meeting that he was pleased with the re sults. He said, "The elections com mittee has reconsidered its deci sion and has been gooe enough to permit me to express the view point of the State Party. The is sue is now settled, as I see it, and any further comment by me at this time is superfluous." Sinclair could not be reached for comment last night. Spring elections will be held Ap ril 7 and 8. The elections will be for All-University, senior class, junior class, and Athletic Associa tion offices. In other business, Temporary Union Building and Nittany Dorm 20 were approved the remaining two polling locations for decen tralized voting. The two locations were chosen from five possible remaining locations. The second floor lounge of Old Main and the West Dorm lounge were approved by the committee last week.
