VOL. 59. No. 123
Judiciary
Given Final
Approval
By CATHY FLECK
All-University Cabinet last
night unanimously approved
for the final time the reorgan
ization of the judicial system
consisting of a supreme court
and several area courts.
This judicial article will be in
corporated into the constitution
of the reorganized Student Gov
ernment Association.
Cabinet members defeated a
motion by Robert Franklin, Col
legian editor, to open all hearings
of the courts and,. boards to the
public except when the offices of
the dean of women and dean of
men desire them closed because
morals or mental illness are in
volved in the particular case.
Franklin said the student
body should know the names of
students who appear before the
board since the present policy
of withholding names is incon
sistent with the policy of the
stale which withholds the
names of juveniles only.
He also said that students
should be held responsible for
their actions as adults and not
treated like children by hiding
their offenses from the public.
Members, in defeating the mo
tion, said that a testimony given
by a student before a group
would be hindered because stu
dents would be hesitant to state
their feelings when faced with
a possible reciprocal attack of
publicity.
Under the policy retained by
Cabinet the meetings of the
courts and boards will be closed
to all persons except the mem
bers of the judicial body and
those persons being heard un
less the group or student
charged have made requests
In writing that the meeting be
opened to the general public.

New Secrete

AUGUSTA, Ga. VP) Presi
dent Eisenhower reportedly has
decided to name Christian A. Her
ter secretary of state—if Herter's
health is up to it.
That picture of the situation
developed further yesterday as
Eisenhower and John Foster Dul
les conferred for a second time on
selection of a successor to Dulles.
Dulles. 71, resigned Wednes
day because of cancer.
Herter, 64, is undersecretary
and has been acting chief of
the State Department since
Dulles was stricken anew early
in February. Herter suffers
from arthritis of the hips.
Eisenhower formally accepted
Dulles' resignation Thursday and
praised him as "a staunch bul
wark of our nation against the
machinations of imperialist com
munism."
And Dulles, in serving official
notification he must step down.

Spring Week Group
Drops Booth-Stuffing
By JEFF POLLACK
Students won't be able to
claim the world telephone
booth "stuffing" champion
ship for their fraternity or the
University because the booth
won't be at the Spring Week
'Carnival.
That's the latest word from
Spring Week chairmen and ad
viser Harold W. Perkins.
Originally McKee Hall had
planned to have a telephone booth
set up and run a competition to
see which group could stuff the
most people in, The "telephone

ay Favor Herter
wrote Eisenhower that free world
liberty and justice "face a for
midable and ruthless challenge"
from communism.
The President's vacation head
quarters disclosed that Eisen
hower and Dulles first talked
by telephone Wednesday night
regarding a successor. They had
a second conference on the
same subject yesterday morn
ing, with Dulles talking again
from Walter Reed Army Hospi
tal in Washington.
The word afterward was that
the two men are agreed on selec
tion of Herter—provided there is
medical assurance the job would
not be too crushing a physical
burden for him.
In Washington, it was learned
that Herter has undergone a spe
cial medical checkup at White
House suggestion. The doctor's
verdict is not known.

However, the decision not to
allow the competition was made
this morning by Juri Niiler,
Spring Week chairman; David
Epstein, carnival chairman and
Perkins.
Perkins said there were a num
ber of reasons for ruling the at
traction out. "There is a possi
bility of danger," he said. He said
a person on the bottom of the
pile might be hurt and be unable
'to let the others know.
According to Perkins the Mc-
Kee sponsors had failed to make
adequate plans for handling the

Wednesday for examination by
an arthritis specialist. Such a
checkup is not unusual in the
case of men being considered
for top government jobs.
The administration's concern
apparently was aroused a few
days ago when some members of
Congress reportedly suggested to
the White House that Herter's
arthritis might make the load too
much.
Eisenhower, who picked Herter
to be undersecretary on Dulles'
recommendation, wants to make
sure on that point.
Herter has served as a mem
ber of the House of Represen
tatives and is a former governor
of Massachusetts. His arthritis
first developed 10 or 15 years
ago, his own doctor said, add
ing that it has "progressed very
little" in the last eight years.,
Fraternity Debtors
To Lose Diplomas
The University will withhold diplomas of graduating
seniors who owe money to fraternities.
The Senate Committee on Student Affairs has ruled that
failure of 'fraternity members to meet financial obligations
to their chapters will be viewed as "conduct unbecoming to a
University student" and will re-
suit in disciplinary action.
Dean of Men Frank J. Simes,
who serves as secretary to the
committee, said a fraternity debt-

morals and conduct of a Umver-
