HEc eon Appreciates Nicknaming Grace M. Henderson, dean of the College of Home Economics, said yesterday, "It was a sweet thought for the Home Economics Student Council to propose a nick name for me." The proposal was made last Tuesday night at the Home Eco nomics Student Council meeting by• David Allison, junior in hotel administration from, Pittsburgh, "Hoviever," the dean laughed, "I doubt that the name suggest ed was meant very seriously." Neil White, sophomore in hotel administration from Stroudsburg, suggested the name "Quickie" at the meeting. _The name "Quickie" was first given to the dean by an instructor doing her graduate work here last semester. When Dean Hender gon walked into a meeting a little late, the instructor stood up and said, "Here corhes Quickie." "I kni3vk the name was meant in jest, for she was always call ing the faculty by nicknames. If just came from the top of her head," said the dean. Dean .Henderson has received much kidding, from the faculty abbut the proposed nickname and a few apologies from members of the student council, for, as the dean explained, "Some of the members felt the story should never have been printed since the proposal consumed so little time at the meeting in relation to the other subjects covered."

Decide May Policy Classes Student Encampments asked that unlimited cuts be given to sopho mores, juniors and seniors. A Senate sub-committee is studying whether the present policy should be maintained or the new setup be established. The committee is working under the administrative com mittee on procedures which is . composed of 17 assistant and as sociate deans of the colleges. Since the recommendation was made, it has received scattered administration discussion until a committee finally was appointed last week by Lawrence E. Dennis, chairman of the administrative procedures committee. Dennis said the sub-committee "will review the problem with an eye to reaffirming the present system or recommending a new policy.

Inaction , similar to that recommended by the !.57 En campment, the University of Connecticut last Week modified its cut system to include only fresiiinen.

Compulsory attendance was re tained' for freshmen "to fill the gag'between high school and col lege," „. • , In. making...its - recommendation in '57, the Encampment recog nized that 'a student attending the University is expected to at tend his classes, but added: "Through 'missing classes, the student misses essential infor mation, and thus actually pena lizes himself." The only allowance now for un excused absences rests with the individual professors. Senate regulations stipulate a student may be "excluded from class" ,if a professor feels irregu lar attendance has been affecting his course work.

"I suppose Berra's my catcher for the first game and I gotta find some place to play Howard," the Yankee mentor said. "But left field is one problem I've got," skid Stengel. The problem is whether to use his regular man Norm Sie ben.. a left-handed batter, or Elston Howard, a righthanded swinger, against southpaw War ren Spahn. Stengel hasn't hesi fated to use Siebern against lefthanded pitching. Howard, who led the Yankees with a . 314 -batting average, has played first base, left field and right field and also has done the catching. "I guess it doesn't matter a lot (Continued on page eight) • The decision to extend the hours was made by the Helsel Union Board on a request of the Associatiim of Independent Men.

After the two trial weekends, the decision on whether to con tinue the late hours will rest with ' the lietsel Union Board and the food service. Two years ago, a similar experi ment was tried in the Lion's Den when the closing time was ex tended until 1 a.m. on weekends. Robert C. Profitt, director of food service, said this experi ment proved late hours were unprofitable. Few people used the Lion's Den during_the ex tended hours, he said. .

Dulles referred to Chiang's re turn as a "highly hypothetical !matter." "I don't think that just by their own steam they are going to get there," Dulles said, add ing that the U.S. has "no com mitment of any kind to aid in that." The existence of Nationalist China on Formosa, Dulles said, could be important if an anti- Communist revolution developed on the mainland. Chiang could then offer help, he said, but it is "hypothetical and problematical" whether Chiang would be asked to head an anti-Communist revo lutionary regime. This was the first time any high level U.S. official ever publicly cast doubt on hopes of Chiang's return to the main land from which he was driven nine years ago by the commu nists. , Dulles even had a word to say on behalf of the Chinese Commu nists, saying any Formosa Strait cease-fire wouldhave to be recip rocal on Chiang's part. Dulles' words were not strong enough to be taken as U.S. ac ceptance of two Chinas, or even of a policy shift already decided upon. But his conciliatory • ap proach indicated movement -to ward a possible basis for negotia tion at U.S.-Red China ambassa dorial talks in Warsaw. Dulles' offer was made in these words: "If there were` a cease-fire in the area which seemed to be rea sonably dependable, I think it would be foolish to keep these large Nationalist forces on these islands. "We thought that it was rath er foolish to put them there and, as I say, if there were a cease lire it would be our judg ment, military judgment even, that •it would not be wise or prudent to keep them there." Dulles said something must be done to make any cease-fire de pendable. The Communists' word is not enough since they break it at will, he said. Dulles said the cease-fire he has in mind could be achieved with or without a formal agreement. As to the Warsaw talks, the sec retary said they could go on in definitely. But if they foundered or if shooting got worse in the Formosa Strait, he said he would not hesitate to take the issue to the United Nations before it got out of hand. As to how things are going, Dul les was optimistic. He said: "I feel that there is a slight tendency toward a stabilization of the situation, and I feel on the whole that there is less likelihood of the hostilities intensifying and enlarging than I thought was the case a couple of weeks ago."
