The courts decisions, accordin, Solicitations Banned at Registration Student organizations may no longer solicit memberships or pro mote their programs outside Rec reation Hall during registration except by special permission from the Senate Committee on Student Affairs, the committee has an nounced. The action was taken to do away with the distribution of pamphlets and papers by organizations out side Rec Hall, Wilmer E. Ken worthy, director of student af fairs and secretary of the commit tee, said. In the past, student organiza tions handed out material to stu dents as they left registration without permission because there was no policy governing the ac tion. Kenworthy said that a few organizations have asked the com mittee's permission in the past so the group has set up a policy to govern the matter in the future. Much of the material handed out during regisration is thrown away by students and the walks in front of Rec Hall have been littered with paper. The ruling will curb this as the number of soliciting organizations can be re stricted by the committee. Organizations wishing to hand out information must apply for permission from the Committee on Student Affairs, Kenworthy said. Government Class To Hear Butcher Harry K.

Romuk Says-- (Continued from page one) said, first laid the strategy for the world conquest objective of Rus sia when he wrote "The Road to London and Paris is through Pei ping an d Calcutta." In other words, to achieve their objective, Asia must be conquered first, and with the fall of China this was begun. He pointed out that the great problem facing the Chinese Com munists now is that of obtaining food for the masses, so , they are concentrating on Indochina, which is known as the rice bowl of the world. If the rice from Indochina can be used to feed the people of China, he said, there will be no danger of dissatisfaction, which might lead to an explosion. He said that America is mis understood and misrepresented in Asia mainly because the United States does not advertise itself well. The Philippines, he said, have learn e d to know that promises made by the United States - are kept, and have become loyal supporters of the United States. All Asia asks, he says, is that the United States use its influ ence as a world leader to see that the pattern set in the Philip pines is followed by our allies, and that T•• - ';.•d States con tim,e to '_s ideas coincide with its actions. g to Tribunal policy, cannot be released until they have gone through the Dean of Men's office and the students nave been con tacted by that office. On the night of Jan. 9 at ap proximately 10:35, officers of the campus patrol were called to the lot in which the two students were planning -the siphoning of gasoline. The officers were in vestigating another incident. Flee Police The students upon seeing the police got into the one students' late model Ford pickup truck and proceeded out of the lot, leaving two five-gallon cans and a length of garden hose behind them. As they left the lot they were stopped by the campus prowl car and asked why they were there and if they had seen anything suspicious concerning a pre-war Chevrolet. One of the officerS recognized the one student with whom he had a speaking ac quaintance and allowed the pair to leave. The next day Captain Mark, chief of the Campus Patrol, visited the one student at his - living quar ters downtown and the student told of the plan to take the gaso line. First Offense Neither man had been in any trouble before during the current semester although one is at pres ent on suspended suspension. That is, he has been readmitted to the University this fall after being suspended last spring for a num ber of dormitory disturbances. Neither student, could state a basic reason for their action. They stated that the experience did not go beyond an "experiment" or an "adventure." It seemed to them that they had just fallen into a situation and had almost decided to carry it out completely - when they were disturbed by the patrol. Earlier in the evening they had taken a late snack to a friend working as a guard at the Hetzel Union Building. While leaving they came across a pile of ma terial behind the HUB and began rummaging through it until they came across the cans and the hose. They threw them on the truck and proceded to the parking lot. Ag Council Agriculture Student Coun cil Wednesday night, unani mously passed a proposal re, organizing standing funds. The Agriculture Activities Fund, containing about $l4OO, has been untouched for several years and the council wished to be able to use it. The administra tion had not permitted it to bor row any of it, but under the regu lations of the new system, council will have limited access . to this fund. Since 1953 students in all col leges have been paying 25 cents per semester for a consolidated activities fee. Prior to this time agriculture students had been paying the same fee to their col lege. The fund is composed of this money. The proposal provides that council be able to withdraw and spend money at any time "when such expenditures are for the gen eral benefit of all undergraduate students in the College of Agricul ture." It also alloVvs borrowing from the fund for other purposes if repayment is guaranteed with in the same school year.
