It's been missing approximately two weeks, according
to Charles A. Lamm, director of building maintenance and

Lamm said he noticed the ab

The Campus Patrol and Walter
W. Trainer, director of landscape
construction an d maintenance,,
could shed no light on the mys
tery.
It's the third attempt to steal
the arm, Trainer said. The sun
dial, complete with arm, was left
as a memorial to the University by
the class of 1915.
Sometime before 1950 the arm
was stolen. The class of 1950 re
dedicated the sundial, again com

Second Attempt Failed

borliness - with the Soviet Union,
but the Polish press has reported
several instances of anti-Soviet
demonstrations, particularly in
sympathy with the Hungarian
rebels.
Revolt Connected
It appeared the speedy dispatch
of the high level Soviet negotia
ting mission might be connected
with these disorders, and possibly
also with an impending meeting
of the Central Committee of the
Soviet Communist party in Mos
cow.
Moscow dispatches quoted well
informed sources there as saying
the semi-annual meeting of the
Central Committee, believed to
have been scheduled for today,
had been postponed until Thurs
day and possibly until January.

of Branch Rd., near Centre Hills
Country Club.
The arrangement was made
with two of the seven students for
$4OO before Justice of the Peace
Guy G. Mills Saturday afternoon.
The other $lOOO of the settlement
was arranged for out of court.
Mills said that under state law
a grand larceny case may be
settled before a justice of the
peace if the amount involved is
not more than $2OO.
Paid In Installments
Mrs. Gerhardt, who indicated
that she was satisfied with the
settlement, said the money will
be paid in six monthly install.
ments. She announced her inten.
tion to communicate to the Inter.
fraternity Council some sugges
tions for preventing future recur•
rences of similar incidents.
And the subcommittee on dis
cipline of the Senate Committee
on Student Affairs yesterday ap
proved the IFC Board of Control
recommendations that the fratern
ity be placed on social probation
for the remainder of the academic
year and that two house officers
be removed.
Under social probation, the fra
ternity may hold no social func
tions whatsoever. During the fall
semester of 1957. the house will
be on Board of Control probation,
which involves a strict surveil
lance by board members.
Mrs. Gerhardt said she aban
doned her original settlement plan
after her lawyer told her it would
be difficult to enforce.
Original Plan Abandoned
Originally, she said, she wanted
the fraternity to replant the tree*
and have pledges guard the prop
erty each year for four or five
years from Dec. 1 until the Christ
mas recess.
Mrs. Gerhardt said a total of
27 trees has been taken from the
property during the last six years.
The trees were not grown com
mercially by the Gerhardts but
were a part of the landscaping of
the property. she said.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon was placed
on social probation earlier this
year, from Oct. 4 to Oct. 25, and
was fined $5O for pledging a stu
dent with an average below a 2.0.
