IFC
New Audit
Proposal
A proposal which would re
quire a compulsory auditing of
fraternities' books, but would not
involve the submitting of the
audit figures to the office of the
dean of men, has been approved
by the Interfraternity Council.
The proposal was drawn up•by
an IFC committee in connection
with a plan being considered by
the Senate Committee on Student
Affairs, -calling for a compulsory
yearly audit, with the audit fig
ures going to the office of the
dean of men, for all student or
gan izations.
• This plan I.yould include fra
ternities.
The plan has been tabled by
the Senate committee pending ac
tion by IFC and Panhel.
_The proposal, unanimously ap
proved by IFC: would allow the
fraternity audit to be done by
either the individual national fra
ternity or a certified public ac
countant. Proof of an audit by the
national fraternity would be in
the form of a letter from the na
tional to the office of the dean of
men.
Many fraternities are now re
quired by their nationals to have I
their books audited annually.
The IFC committee, headed by'
Richard Christian, drew up the
proposal after the council learned
of the compulsory audit plan at
a meeting two weeks ago.
The report of the Senate com
mittee was based on a survey
concerning the auditing which
was conducted by the committee
among fraternities. The survey
received a response of approxi
mately 50 per cent, according to
0. Edward Pollock, assistant to
the dean of men.
The committee's plan; applying
to all student organizations, would
require the audit figures to be
submitted to the. University in
October for the preceding year.
The audit 'report would also be
accompanied by a budget for the
organizatiori for the coming year.
Summer School
Schedule Set
Plans for the 1958 summer ses-'
sions program were announced
yesterday.
Dr. Palmer C. Weaver, dean of
the summer sessions, said the 3-
week intercession will begin June
9 and close June 27. The 6-week
main• summer session is,scheduled
for June 30 to Aug. 8 and the 3-
week post session for Aug. 11 to
29.
-Suggested changes in the Uni
versity calendar will not change
the scheduled program for the
1958 summer session, he said.
2 Strict Campuses
Given by Judicial
The Women's Student Govern
ment Association Judicial Board
Tuesday issued a strict week cam
pus to a coed who signed in at
1:30 a.m. Friday.
Another strict week campus
was issued to a coed who signed
out for an 11 o'clock traveling
permission -and did not return
until' 1 a.m.
The board also issued one len
ient weekend campus, six 1 o'-
clock removals and 25 black
marks.
Coed Late Permissions
Coeds will receive special
11 o'clock permissions tonight
to take part in the Christmas
festivities.
and on the Continent was a NATO
summit conferenCe compromise.
The United States gave its con
sent to cautious and guarded over
tures to the Kremlin to see if any
success might be achieved by
fresh negotiations with the So
viet Union.
Both agreements are in princi
ple. A lot of work is in store for
ministers and technicians before
either can be carried out.
Only Britain; Turkey and the
Netherlands definitely want
missile bases. Norway, Denmark
and West Germany prefer to
stick with conventional arms.
Others axe lukewarm toward
the bases. At any rate the
United States will be unable to
supply missiles and warheads
for a year or more. It just
doesn't have them now for
wholesale export.
The draft of the military paper,
still subject to possible change in
wording, said: "In view of present
Soviet policies, the NATO Coun
cil decided that MBA' missiles
will have to be put at the dis
posal of the supreme commander,
Europe."
Similarly, the prospect for im
mediate talks between Western
ers and the Russians is scant,
though Bern sources disclosed to
day neutral Switzerland is ready
to issue formal invitations for an
other Geneva summit conference
if both sides are certain to accept.
Studies and consultation among
NATO members are likely to take
weeks.
Thus the United States and its
European allies, dangerously split
on these issues when the 15 na
tion conference opened Monday,
found themselves - in agreement,
if not completely satisfied, with
only one day's talks remaining.
Eisenhower and Secretary of
State John Foster Dulles will
report to the American people
on the summit conference on a
30 minute radio TV broadcast
from Washington at 8:30 p.m.
EST, Monday.
Eisenhower plans to board his
plane for home late tomorrow and
arrive in Washington about 6:30
a.m. Friday. Dulles will make a

FOR A BETTER PENN STATE
In the report is the following
excerpt from an article on the
effect of voluntary ROTC at
Minnesota:
- The conclusion is inescapable
that at the University of Minne
sota the output of commissioned
officers through the ROTC pro
gram is relatively greater in the
. . years ending 1953-54 when
the program was voluntary than
it was in the four years imme
diately preceeding the adoption
of the voluntary program in the
fall of l;134 . . .
"The consensus of the offi
cers seems to be that the best
motivation for the advanced
(ROTC) course comes with the
espirif de corps that is the re
sult of voluntary enlistment in
the basic course."
On the other side of the ROTC
question is this statement in the
report:
"Troy Middleton, one of the
leading field generals of the Ar
my during World War II and
president of Louisiana State Uni
versit, said that:
