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.

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.
The second condition would in
clude student clubs borrowing as
long as they could give a written

'Personalities'
Sign Petition
For Whiskers
"Santa Claus" signed the peti
tion on the West Dormitory bul
letin board under the heading
"We want beards." Along with
Santa's signature were, the names
of a few other well-known per
sonalities and about 200 students,
many of them in the Air Force
Reserve Officer Training Corps.
Freshmen standing around the
bulletin board examining the
slightly worn four-page. petition
said they did not really care about
the R 0 T C regulation against
beards. Two of the first semester
men, dressed in different shades
of blue; said they shaved only
once a week and couldn't have
a beard even if there were no re
strictions. The' names of many of
the Arrny, Air Force, and Navy
ROTC instructors appeared on the
list. Sitting Bull, Liberate, and
John Paul Jones also signed the
petition.
Wilmer E. Kenworthy, director
of student affairs, said he had
nothing really to say about beard
growing, but 'that he would go
along with the statement made by
C. S. Wyand, chairman of the Uni
versity Centennial Committee.
Wyand said beard growing would
not be an official activity of the
University Centennial Committee.
The. Student Centennial Com
mittee will consider the beards
project, chairman Diehl McKalip,
said.

George Williams, president of

Live It Up Before The Finals
AIM Board
Attendance
Any member of , the Association of Independent Men's
Board of Governors who is absent from.two board meetings
without a legal excuse will be dropped from the board, AIM
President Robert Dennis told the group Wednesday night.
The announcement came about after, for the second con
secutive time, the start of the meeting had to be delayed for
about three-quarters of an hour
until a quorum could be obtained.
Dennis said that the attendance
riling was included in the present
AIM constitution but that it had
not been enforced this year "be
cause of its vagueness."
He said that any board member
who could not attend a meeting
should provide an alternate and
give the alternate a written note
of certification.
When a member is dropped
from the board because of his at
tendance record, the council he
represents - will lose a seat on ,the
board. The seat will not be re
s ed until the council elects an
other representative to replace the
offending member, he said.
Important Ivlceting
He stressed the importance of
full attendance at the next meet
ing, Feb. 9, at which time a new
AIM secretary will be elected. To
be elected a candidate must re
ceive a majority vote of the mem
bership of the entire board.
Both the Department of Hous
ing, and the dean of men's office
are expected to help share the
cost of the proposed AIM fresh
man- handbook, Br uc e Lieske,
chairman of the handbook com
mittee, reported.
Tuesday Joint Meeting
Lieske said more specific plans
and the percentages to be paid by
each would be known after a
joint meeting Tuesday.
Donald Shoemaker, fifth se
mester journalism maj o r, has

The resolution also includes
making the Ag Hill Party Fund
a standing fund of $3OO and that
