Unpaid Fines
May Prevent
Registration
The students who have failed
to go before Traffic Court “may
not be allowed to register in the
fall” unless their fines are paid,
Dean of Men Frank J. Simes said
yesterday.
Letters were sent to approxi
mately . 100 students by the dean
of men’s offipe requiring them to
report to the office for not pay
ing heed to tickets tagged by Cam
pus Patrol for traffic violations.
• Of the 100 receiving letters, 32
failed to heed the warning by not
reporting. They also face the pos
sibility of office probation along
with paying the fine.
As yet, the 35 students have
failed to come befo r e Traffic
Court, although they had several
notices to 'do so. Traffic Court is a
student body which hears cases of
students who feel they have been
wronged in being tagged by Cam
pus Paitrol.
Simes appeared before All-Uni
versity Cabinet May 5 requesting
that some legislation be enacted
to force the students to heed the
summons. Simes later said that it
would not be necessary for Cab
inet to act on the matter since it
would be handled by his office.
Office probation requires stu
dents to report to the dean of
men’s office for informal talks- at
certain times as long as the office
deems it necessary. No perman
ent record is placed on the stu
dent’s transcripts.

Dulles Reports 'Turning Point' Events
WASHINGTON, May 17 (ff)—
Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles declared tonight that re
cent events on the world stage
“may really mark a turning point
in the tide of world history.”
In an unprecedented broadcast
from President Eisenhower’s of

historic negotiations and events
in Europe, from which he has
just returned.
For one'thing, Dulles said the
recent agreement putting Ger
many side by ‘side with France
and other nations in the Western
defense community has given
Western civilization “a new lease
on life."
It was “a hard battle,” he said,
because “the Soviet Union went
all out with all it had” to prevent
ratification of the treaties for re
arming West Germany.
He pictured the final approval
of the pacts as the greatest dip
lomatic defeat the Soviet Union
has suffered in recent years.

“Foster,” he said, “It’s good to
have you here ...”
Then he said he hoped the sec
retary would touch, on “prospects
for real progx-ess in our incessant
search for peace.”
He went on to say he and Dulles
long were agreed they would wait
“uhtil we had some confidence”
in the word of the Russians be
fore undertaking Big Four talks.
Now, the President said, recent
events such as the agreement on
Austrian independence raises the
hope that this country “might de

lationship” which could brighten
hopes for peace.
Dulles said the last week had
been “so crowded with events I
hardly know where to start.”
Eisenhower suggested he go
back to two years ago, when he
said the belief and conviction de
veloped that only through co
operative strength could the free
world face up to “the Communist
dictatorship.
