Problem Discussed by AIM; No Action Token The Board of Governors of the Association of Independent Men Wednesday night indicated AIM would assume respon sibility for chartered social organizations in town which are not members of _the Interfraternity Council.

Organizations of this type in clude Beaver House and the newly chartered Delta Sigma Lambda. The latter, however, has indicated Army ROTC Will Award Commissions All Army Reserve Officers Training Corps graduates in the Class of 1955 will be given com missions, according to Col. Lu cien E.

Graduates may volunteer for the month of entry into active duty. Advanced Army RU *ti students were told last year that they could not be guaranteed a commission upon graduation, but that the Army would do everything pos sible to commission them. An of ficial letter to Army ROTC head quarters dated --Nov. 8 assures every advanced Army ROTC ca det a commission. The official release stated that all cadets who had sufficient mili tary service prior to the time they receive their commissions will not be ordered to active duty. According to the report, the De partment of Defense has not an nounced the policy for utilization of the June 1956 graduates. The last announced policy permits the Department of the Army to com mission only the number which can , "-be absorbed on active duty as officers. The number of lieutenants that can be accepted each year in the Army is determined by a mone (Continued on page eight) Russia, Western ' l ewers Agree on Compromise UNITED NATIONS, -N.Y., Nov. 18 (IP) —The Western powers and Russia reached virtual agreement today on a compromise plan endorsing and advancing President Dwight D. Eisenhower's atoms for-peace program. Only one point of difference remained and diplomatic quarters predicted this would not stand in the way of unanimous -approval of the plan by the UN. It was the ,second time in this General Assembly session that the Russians and the, United States have agreed on an important pro posal. Only two weeks ago today the Assembly approved unani mously a resolution instructing the Disarmament Commission to make another attempt to regulate armaments and banning atomic weapons. The commission will meet at 2:30 p.m. tomorrow. The 60-nation political commit tee will meet at 4 p.m. tomorrow and hopes to reach a vote•nn the revised resolution put before it today by Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., United States delegate.

AIM President Robert Den nis said he believed Beaver House also would affiliate with IFC. Dennis said the problem of groups such as these had been dis cussed for several weeks by the social affairs sub-committee of the Senate Committee on Student Affairs. Future Problems Expected Dennis said groups such as these do not constitute a major prob lem now, but the University is afraid that they will be a major problem in the future. The reasoning behind this fear, as Dennis explained, is: 1. With the expansion of the University a larger proportion of male students will be living in town. 2. To be able to hold approved mixed social functions, many groups of men living together probably would seek charters, al though they would not wish to organize fraternities. 3. Even if these groups would want to be become fraternities, IFC retains the right to be se lective in its membership. 4. Although Beaver House has abided by IFC social regulations, there is no assurance that future organizations would do so, thus necemitating some sort of a checker systein. Student Checking Preferred Dennis said the University could solve the problem by "hiring a cop" but the Administration pre ferred that the checking come through student government. He said he believed AIM could in corporate groups such as these in (Continued on page eight) world which will inure to the benefit of mankind." The only difference outstand now is a Western stipulation ing between the East and West limiting invitations to a scientific conference to members of the UN and its specialized agencies. Rus sia wants no restrictions, appar ently with the intention of in cluding Communist- China if pos sible. Lodge rejected this proposal with the comment that the work for a peaceful pool should not be delayed by the sharp differences on states not members of the UN. The Russians are expected in the end to vote for the resolu tion even if they lose their de mand for unrestricted invitations. The resolution provides that the scientific conference be held next summer. The United States and Britain favor holding it in Geneva.

Penn Conduct Good Both the dean and the adminis tration had previously been pleased with the conduct of the student body at the University of Pennsylvania game Oct. 30. No bad conduct reports were received at the University. Following the Penn game last year the administration had re ceived numerous complaints from hotel owners, alumni, and Phila delphia residents regarding stu dent conduct. However, no such reports were received after last year's Pitt game. Many Expected to Go Although there will be classes tomorrow morning, a large num ber of University students are ex pected to attend a game at Pitt. In a splurge of pre-game spirit, downtown store windows were splattered early yesterday morn (Continued on page eight) GSA eceives $9985 Bid To Test Building Site General State Authority Wednesday received an unofficial low bid of $9985 for test borings on the site of the proposed classroom building,, according to the Associated Press. The bid was submitted by Sprague and Henwood, Inc., of Scranton. The building is to be erected opposite Osmond Laboratory where Maple Cottage now stands. Walter H. Wiegand, director of the physical plant, said yesterday the University had received no information on the matter. He said the University knew that the GSA was advertising for bids which were due Wednesday but had received no information on the awarding of a contract or when work would begin. Stakes have been placed on the site, but Wiegand said he did not know whether they had been placed there by the GSA en gineers or a contractor. He said the contractor would probably make borings with a diamond drill to get samples of the earth under the building site. He said the samples would be sent to Harrisburg to determine the rock content of the soil. Preliminary plans for the build ing were approved by the Board o Trustees at their October raect- njured Dale Burris Falls, Shoots Self in Leg " .; Dale Burns, fourth semester education major, is dead, the result of wounds suffered in a hunting accident. Burns, 23, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. Walter Burns, 316 Ninth avenue, Altoona, died Wed nesday night in the Centre County Hospital, Bellefonte, three hours after an accident in which he was wounded in the' left groin with his own 12-gauge shotgun. John H. Wezer, Centre County coroner, ruled the death acciden tal and said there would be no inquest. Burris had gone hunting - with Gerald Brown, third semester hor ticulture major, in Greens Valley late Wednesday afternoon. According to Brown, the two had separated and were walking through a field when the acci dent occurred. Brown said he heard a shot, saw Burris run, and then heard another shot. He could no longer see Burris, he said, but heard him call for help. Brown went to investigate and found Burris wounded in the groin. He said Burris' gun had evidently discharged when he fell. Brown said he used his belt in , an effort to fashion a tourniquet I to check the flow of blood. He then attempted to carry his in jured companion on his back and called to summon help. Two nearby hunters heard his cries, Brown said, and aided him in getting Burris to the road, 500 yards away, where Brown had parked his car. Brown said he took Burris -to the hospital, nine miles away, where blood transfusions were be gun immediately. Burris went in to shock as the third pint of blood was being administered. Blood Loss The coroner was told that the femural artery had been severed and that death was caused by shock as a result of the loss of blood.

The south unit of the building paralleling and facing Pollock road will have three floors and will be 120 feet long and 63 feet wide. Offices will be located in this unit, and the main entrance of the building will be at the southeast corner.
