Eisenhower Orders Aid to 5 Nations
WASHINGTON, March 5 (21')—
President Dwight D. Eisenhower
told Congress today he has or
dered continuance of aid to five
European nations even though
they have shipped more than $6
million worth of strategic mate
rials to Soviet Russia and her sat
ellites.
The nations involved are Den
mark, France, Italy, Norway, and
the United Kingdom. The Presi
dent said to stop military and
economic aid to these countries
because they permitted trade with
Eastern Europe in recent months
would "clearly be detrimental to
the security of the United States."
Congress also was informed of
a movement of 500 tons of copper
worth $450,000 from Turkey to
Czechoslovakia, but was told that
Turkey has taken steps. to "pre

New Drinking Rule
Termed 'Realistic'
By TAMMIE- BLOOM
Wilmer E. Kenworthy, director of student affairs, yesterday described the new Uni
versity policy regarding use of alcoholic beverages as a "more realistic approach" to the
solution of existing problems.
The policy statement adopted Thursday by the University Senate recommended re
vision of drinking regulations and substitution of chaperoned dating in fraternities for
the present unchaperoned dating code. The policy will be effective Sept. 1, 1954.
Under a system of chaperoned dating, K enworthy said, it is believed that existing
— isituations for which the Univer-i—
-isity has been criticized may be
controlled.
Alcohol Now Prohibited
Senate regulations W-4 and
W-5 now prohibit serving of alco
holic beverages at social func
tions.
The revised versions, which the
Senate will receive for final ap
proval April 1, prohibits posses
sion or use of alcoholic beverages
on University property, and holds
student organizations responsible
for good conduct and observance
of the law under all University-;
related off-campus situations.
IFC Enforcement
Kenworthy said the University
expects to work with the Inter
fraternity Council in enforcing
the new policies. Infractions will
be referred to the proper student
judicial body for recommenda
tion.
"It (enforcement) will have to
be cooperative," Kenworthy said.,
"We expect the IFC will con
tinue to be responsible for con
duct prejudicial to the fraternity,
system and the University. The
University will also endeavor to
see that good standards are ob-I
served and will maintain controls
through disciplinary action on in
fractions which are reported."
Result of Criticism
Formulation of the new plan,
he explained, has been based
partly as a result of criticism of
the situatiop from the outside,
and partly from the desire of the
University to improve its own
situation.
Outside criticism, he said, has,
been written and verbal from the
public, alumni, parents, and even
people connected with fraterni
ties. Unlimited unchaperoned dat
ing, he added, has caused wide
spr e a d comment, as has the,
drinking situation.
Special Privileges
Under provisions of ;the new
policy, special privileges will be
granted to "dry" fraternities and
those which employ full-time
resident housemothers.
Fraternities which have, and
enforce, rules prohibiting alco
holic beverages in the house and
on the grounds at all times may
have limited unchaperoned dat
ing.
'Lineman' - to' Be Returned
To Zorach in 2 Weeks
William Zorach's granite sta
tue, "The Lineman," will be re
turned to Zorach in New York
within th.e next two weeks, Harry
Archinal, president of Pi Gamma
Alpha, fine arts honorary, has an
nounced.
He said the University is in the
process of crating it and making
arrangements with a trucking
company to ship the statue, which
has been on display in Old Main
since last spring. It was brought
to the campus as a suggestion for
the senior class gift last year.
Game Tickets
Still Available
Students may get exchange
tickets from 8 a.m. to noon today
at the ticket window of the Ath
letic Association office in Old
Main.
Tickets will be issued upon
presentation of an AA book. They
will also be distributed at the
ticket booth in Recreation Hall
just before game time tonight.
Students will need AA books to
get tickets at Recreation Hall if
they have not already picked up
tickets prior to going to the game.
Tickets for the Eastern inter
collegiate wrestling champion

office now.
vent a repetition of the incident."
The President made a periodic
report on East-West trade to the
Senate and House chairmen of
the armed services and foreign re
lations committees, as he is re
quired to do under the Battle Act.
This act forbids American aid
to any country that "knowingly
permits" shipments to Communist
and Red-dominated countries of
items on an embargo list, such as
arms, ammunition, implements of
war, or atomic energy materialS.
But it authorizes the President
to continue aid to countries ' al
lowing shipments of strategic
materials not on the embargo list
when unusual circumstances indi
cate the cessation of aid would be
against the interests of the U.S.
The President forwarded to the
Capitol a letter.. from Harold E.
r~ittn _
No house has yet been granted
the "dry" classification under the
new plan, Kenworthy said, but
there are five fraternities at the
University which are "dry" by
tradition.

Stassen, director of foreign aid,
which said none of the five coun
tries involved permitted ship
ment of any embargoed items.
None of the embargoed shipments
went to Communist China.
Stassen said most of the ship
ments to Eastern Eur op e—as
noted in his last report on Aug. 1,
1953—resulted from commitments
made prior to Jan. 24, 1952, ef
fective date of the Battle Act.
Other
. shipments, he said, were
more recent commitments where
Western countries regarded two
way trade beneficial to them
selves and to the free world in the
long run.
Stassen recommended continu
ing American aid and was sup
ported in that by the State, Treas
ury, Defense, and Commerce de
partments.

For Violations
Four students were penalized
for traffic violations in action by
the dean of men Thursday. One
student had his car removed from

He s..id an eighth semester stu
dent had been forbidden to bring
his car on campus at any time. He
also had seven violations, Simes

Seven of ten cases referred to
the Dean of Men's office Tuesday
night by Traffic Court were heard
