Siders pointed out that as the deferred rushing program is now defined by the Board, no restric tions are placed on summer rush ing prior to the students enroll ment at the Unillersity. The biggest problem facing the group was where the line is to be drawn between personal friendship and organized rushing by a group. As it now stands, no definite restrictions have been placed on the perSonal affairs be tween one fraternity man and a freshman, other than those out lined in the rushing code. Fraternity men will be given an opportunity, under certain re strictions, later in the semester to contact freshmen in the dormi tory units but under no conditions are freshmen allowed in fraternity houses or on the premises. The only exception will be the' general open house planned for the early fall.

Gone Series rgiatt Dulles Hints Easing Of Policy to China WASHINGTON (EP)—Secretary of State Dulles yesterday raised the prospect of American concessions, perhaps affect ing the future of embattled Quemoy, if Red China agrees to a cease-fire in the Formosa area. At a news conference, however, he avoided spelling out in advance what these conces sions might be. But, he said any dependable no-shooting pledge by the Pei ping regime would " be certainly a very considerable element in the situation which might have further consequences." Dulles called for an immediate start of talks in Warsaw between the U.S. and Red Chinese ambas sadors in an effort to ease For mosa tensions b e f ore they ex plode into a broader conflict. He coupled this appeal for negotiation with the strongest on-the-record comments yet by an administration leader hint ing the United States would fight to help Nationalist China repel any invasion of Quemoy, an island only a few miles off the Chinese mainland. Dulles voiced confidence, how ever, there would be no war in the Far East if the American people stand firm and united be hind the Eisenhower administra tion's pblicy. Dulles stressed the stakes involved in these words: "What's involved is not just two pieces of real estate, Quemoy and Matsu. "What'.s involved there is the whole position . . . of the free world in the western Pacific and the vital interests of the United States. . . ." In his discussion of the For mosa crisis, Dulles disclosed the administration would switch dip lomatic strategy in the Warsaw discussions both sides have agreed to. For the past three years, Red China has been pressed to issue a sweeping pledge renouncing use of military force to win its objective of gaining control of Formosa and Nationalist-held offshore islands. Peiping has re fused. In - answering questions . Dulles said the United States would seek a modus vivendi— a way of getting along tem porarily—"along more detailed and specific lines and not quite so much in terms of generali ties." He refused to divulge specifi cally what he had in mind.
