e day he would be available for
arks, released in advance, Eisen-
hower ruled out any "extensive
traveling" or "whistle stop speak
ing" in the event of his renomina
tion—something that can be tak
en for granted in the light of his
decision to run.
He 'declared:
"I shall, in general, wage no
political campaign in the custom
ary pattern. Instead, my principal
purpose, if renominated, will be
to inform the American people
accurately, through means of mass
communication, of the foreign
and domestic program this ad
ministration has designed and has
pressed for the benefit of all our
people; to show them how much
of that program has been ac
complished or enacted into law;
to point out what remains to be
done, and to show how we intend
to do it."
Early in his talk, unprecedented
in American history, Eisenhower
said that as "a recovered heart
patient, he might be "a greater
risk than is the normal person of
my age." He is 65.
Risk Not Great
But he said his doctors assure
him that this increased- risk "is
not great."
He added:
"So far as my own personal
sense of well-being is concerned,
I am as well as before the attack
occurred."
At the same time, Eisenhower
said, he must restrict his activi
ties and so, he said:
"If the Republican delegates—
to the national convention—come
to believe that they should have
as their presidential nominee one
who would campaign more ac
tively, they would have the per
febt right—indeed the duty—to
name such a nominee.
Accept Decision Cheerfully
"I, for one, would atcept their
decision cheerfully and I ,would
continue by all means within my
power to help advance the inter
ests of the American people."
Mrs. Eisenhower and the Presi
dent's brother, Dr. Milton Eisen
hower, arranged to be with him in
his office as he detailed for the
American people the factors that
la3r behind his second-term deci
sion.
Eisenhower began by saying he
reached his decision only after
"the most careful and devoutly
prayerful consideration."' Then,
without further preliminary, he
said:
"I have decided that if the Re
publican party choose to renomi
nate me, I, shall accept. There
after, if the ; people of this country
Should elect me, I shall continue
to serve them in the office I now
hold."

Court Will Decide
Procedure Methods
The Supreme Court will meet Monday night to set precedent and procedure in hear
ing future cases Chairman Patricia Douthett said last night.
This meeting has been spurred by Rudolph Lutter's request to have the court examine
the constitutionality of the student governmeflt compensations, passed by Cabinet last week.
Lutter said yesterday that he hoped the court could try the case on Sunday night be
cause he felt a time lapse might allow "other forces" to step in and injure his chances of
getting the case before the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court is in its first year of operation and thus far, has heard only one

case—the dining hall dress rule
case.
The court was set up as an
appellate body to consider any
questions concerning the Student
Government Constitution bu t
thus far has not made any pro
visions for the procedure in
bringing cases before the court.
Monday is Earliest
Miss Douthett said the court
could not possibly hear the case
as soon as Sunday because they
didn't have any operating pro
cedure set up.
She said she couldn't be. sure
whether or not the court would
decide to hear Lutter's case at
Monday night's meeting. She said
procedural methods would .have
to be established before any defi
nite action could be taken. How
ever, she admitted the possibility
that the court would decide
whether or not to hear Lutter's
case.
Lynn Meyers, chairman of Tri
bunal and member of the Su
preme Court, said that he thought
it was any student's right to ques
tion the constitutionality of stu
dent government actions. Meyers
added that he felt that if the
student presented a formal let
ter, to the chairman of the' Su
preme Court with a legitimate
complaint, the court would have
to take action on the matter.
Lutter's complaint cent ered
around the charge that by voting
itself an increase in compensation,
Cabinet violated the welfare of
the student body and the Univer
sity, and if such action were con
doned, it would set a bad prece
dent by allowing future student
leaders a free hand in channel
ing funds to themselves by cre
ating scholarships with funds
collected from student fees.
Seely Comments
All-University President Earl
Seely commented on the matter
by saying that he felt the pres
ent 'case had no similarity to the

Today is March 1 and spring is
just around the corner, but the
weatherman doesn't seem to rea
lize it. .
Although the forecast for today
is fair and warmer, according . to
the students in. the department of
meteorology, yesterday's snow fall
dampened hopes of continued
warm weather.
To celebrate today, no snow is
predicted and the temperature
should rise 20 degrees. The ex
pected maximum is 49 while the
low should be 32. Yesterday's high
was 29 and the low was 19.
