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.
Fraternities may not buy or
give to the freshmen any items
of monetary value, including
meals or clothing, nor may the
fraternities send any information

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.

The student-operated Book Ex
change in the Hetzel Union
Building is selling en=gineering
and art supplies this year for the
first time.
The exchange is offering a spe

also on its regular supplies.
James Meister, chairman of the
Book Exchange board of control,
said that a 10 per cent refund will
be made on each $5 worth of pur
chases.
"A student can buy-a $2O engi
neering drawing set," Meister
said, "and get $2 off the regular

the dean of men's office. It was
felt that new students did not
learn enough about activities dur
ing the regular Orientation Week
program.
The main objective of the
exposition is to inform interested
students but not pressure them
into joining a group. Any strong
persuasive techniques of an or
ganization's 'representative ar e
prohibited.
Although new students are not
required. to attend, co-chairmen

hope that freshmen and transfers
twill take — advantage of this op
portunity to "browse around" the
vast number of activities at Penn
State.
The exposition is being spon
sored by Omicron Delta Kappa
