IHC Granted
Tentative
-Recognition
Rushing Change
Denied by SAC
By HARRY LUNN
Inter-House Council's constitu-
tion received tentative Student Af-
fairs Committee approval yester-
day with final recognition of the
organization delayed until fall to
iron out conflicting areas of auth-
ority between the Residence Hall
Board of Governors and SAC.
At the same time an Interfra-
ternity Council by-law revision al-
lowing rushing counselors to par-
ticipate in their house rushing
program was rejected by the Com-
mittee.
* * *
IHC PREVIOUSLY had its con-
stitution passed by the Board of
Governors and referred to SAC for
consideration.
But Regents' by-laws conflict
on which group shall have final
authority on such charters, and
SAC two weeks ago appointed a
sub-committee to study the
problem with the Board of Gov-
ernors.
The two groups were unable to
reach any definite solution to the
question, and subsequent studies
will be made in the fall.
Meanwhile, IHC will operate un-
der SAC jurisdiction as do other
campus groups.
* * *
PASSED UNANIMOUSLY by the
IFC House Presidents' Assembly,
the by-law change would have al-
lowed counselors to participate in
their house's rushing with the stip-
ulation that they would "be on
their honor tohbe unbiased while
counseling."
Counselors had not been al-
lowed to enter into rushing acti-
vities under existing rules.
IFC officials and fraternity pres-
idents had felt the counseling
program suffered because houses
were not willing to loose their best
"rushers" by having them become
counselors.
In rejecting the by-law change
SAC members pointed out the con-
flicting loyalties which would arise
between counseling and rushing
activities.
Another IFC by-law setting up
five executive committee geograph-
ical districts was approved by the
Committee.

hIN OfTIER action, the J-Hop
weekend was set for Feb. 6-8 with
the dance falling on Friday, Feb. 6.
Tentative approval was given to a
special band concert to be held
Sunday, Feb. 8 as part of the J-
Hop program.
Final approval of the concert
will rest on its financial feasi-
bility.
y Revision of the University rules
and regulations handbook, which
occupied SAC time for many meet-
ings this term came to a close in
yesterday's long meeting with final
approval of the handbook.
A REACTIVATION petition by
Xi Psi Phi dental fraternity was
tentatively rejected. Founded here
more than 60 years ago, the group
went off campus in 1950, but a
restrictive clause holds up their
7 readmission.
The fraternity is attempting

to regain its status under a pro-
vision exempting houses forced
off campus because of war condi-
tions from the regulation which
prohibits re-activation of frater-
nities with bias clauses. Frater-
nity representatives said war-
time policies on dental students
resulted in lower membership
which led to the house's loA 1
demise.
They were asked to submit more
evidence for later consideration:
Adelphi sorority gained recog-
nition of its constitution. The new
local sorority plans to seek na-
tional affiliation with Delta Phi
Epsilon next year.
Also approved were the revised
League and Assembly constitu-
tions and an amendment to the
Senior Board constitution setting
up election procedures.
Constitutions of the Baha'i Stu-
dent Group, the Near East So-
ciety and the Society of Medical
Technologists were held for final

Prof. Kish Gages Ital y's
Election Trends on Map
By BOB FLOUM
Across the Atlantic Italy prepares for its election, but here on
campus Prof. George Kish of the geography department has Italy's
future right at his finger tips.
On a large map in his office, Prof. Kish has traced the strength
of the major parties in Italy, reducing Italian voting habits to black,
white and shaded sections.
* * * * -
PROF. KISH first became interested in Italy following the 1948
election. He spent a year "in that land of regional loyalty" studying
the voting habits of the country and the surrounding islands.
Commenting on the 1948 election, Prof. Kish said, "Premier
De Gasperi headed up a government coalition consisting of the
Christian Democrats, the Communists and their followers and
the Social Democrats. Christian k

Zambeti Ordered
Out of Country
WASHINGTON- (P) -A cocky
stranger strode into a New York
home last week and asked a father
to make this almost impossible
choice:
1) Turn Communist spy and be-
tray his adopted country, the Unit-
ed States, hoping this might save
his two children in Red Romanian
Romania who were pleading for
his help.
2) Remain true to this nation,
and take a chance on the safety
of the youngsters he hasn't seen
in six years.
* * *
THE FATHER, Valeriu George-
scu, told a news conference yes-
terday how he reached his diffi-
cult decision, and why he took the
course he did.
Even as he was talking the
State Department confirmed his
decision. Georkescu would re-
main a loyal citizen.
The cocky stranger who had
tried to talk him into turning spy.
the State Department said, was
Christache Zambeti, a diplomat at
the Communist Romanian Embas-
sy here. The department ordered
his "immediate departure" from
this country.
* * *
"IT'S a STRANGE story-almost
like a movie," Georgescu describ-
ed, as if he still couldn't believe
it happened to him.
Georgescu, 49, is a petroleum en-
gineer. In 1937 he became head of
the Romanian affiliate of the
Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey.
After the war, the company
ran into the tremendous prob-
blem of rebuilding an industry
shattered by the war. And, even
as early as 1947, it was hard for
American business men to get in
and out of Romania.
So it was decided to bring Geor-
gescu to this country for confer-
ences.
THEN THE bottom fell out of
Georgescu's world.
Romania's government began
moving in on the oil industry. His
friends and business colleagues
were being arrested. It was im-
possible to return.
Early last Wednesday, a
stranger called and identified
himself as Chris Zambeti, first
Secretary of the Romanian Pop-
ular Republic Legation in Wash-
ington.
"If you want to see your child-
ren," Georgescu quoted Zambeti as
saying, "this can be arranged and
I am proposing to you the follow-
ing deal. You may see your child-
ren within a year if you will ac-
cept to collaborate with us."
Georgescu's answer to the ques-
tion was a hard one for the father
but he remained loyal to his coun-
try. (Georgescu was naturalized
last year.) His reply to t1e Ro-
manian diplomat was "NO!"

WASHINGTON - (-) - A for-
mer University student is among
three men once holding high-level
jobs with the Federal Government
who refused yesterday to tell the
Senate Internal Security Sub-com-
mittee whether they were Com-
munists while working for the
Government.
A 1936 University graduate, Ju-
lius J. Joseph, Nathan Witt, for-
mer secretary of the National La-
bor Relations Board, and John J.
Abt, former attorney in the Jus-
tice and Agriculture Departments
refused to say whether they are
members of the party now.

White House when he was an as-
sociate economist for the Nation-
al Resources Planning Board in!
1940 and '41.

Democrats hope in the coming
election to be held June 6 and 7,
to attain the necessary votes to
oust the Communist from -the
coalition government.
Past elections show Italy's voting
strength is based on geographical
and historical elements, her eco-
nomic standing and the political
movements of the time, Prof. Kish
said, and "it seems very likely that
the 1952 election will change this
trend."
* * *
PROF. KISH expained the Ital-
ian government's split into three
sections:
"At the extreme right of the new
republic sit the Communist and
Socialist. Communist's have re-
cently acquired new strength in
the development of the Nenni So-
cialist led by Pietro Nenni, once
in cohorts with the Social Demo-
crats, Prof. Kish said.
Nenni's following alone con-
sists of two million or more in
the industrial North. Commu-
nists are expected to double and
in some sectors triple their '48
output," he continued.
Holding down the main core of
Italy's government are the coali-
tion parties of the Christian Dem-
ocrats, Republicans and Social
Democrats.
Over on the far right wing of
the government are the Monarch-
ist and the Neo-Fascist who rep-
resent the Movimento Sociale
Italiano and would like to see an-
other dictator in power in Rome,
Prof. Kish said.
* * *
CLOSE OBSERVATION of the
last election reveals the reasons
for a prominence of sector voting
in the Italian mainland.
According to Prof. Kish's analy-
sis the southern area casts fifteen
to twenty percent of the MSI vote.
In disfavor with the present
coalition, they are cooperating
with the Communists in the
hope that they not the Reds
will eventually capture Rome.
In Northern Italy and the Po
Valley and in Southeastern Italy
near the Adriatic, tradition has
been the important factor in vot-
ing, Prof. Kish said. There has
been a strong agrarian Socialist
movement since 1880. They have
even yet to completely break away
from the Fascism chains which
binded them, he added.

No definite agenda has been
written for the deans' conference

allocations for the various schools
will be the chief topic of discus-
sion.
According to Frank K. Robbins,
presidential assistant, and secre-
tary of the conference, no dis-
cussion of the exam schedule is
expected.
Meanwhile the question of
whether or not the Joint Judiciary
constitution would find a play on
the June 12 Regents meeting
agenda went unanswered yester-
day.
University president Harlan
Hatcher was away from town and
could not be reached to comment
on prospects for the constitution
which failed to reach last week's
Regents meeting.
Robbins said the complexity of
the document would require study
by the Regents before they can
accept it.

yesterday he is not and never has

The musician, composer and

Copland issued a statement say-

Beanie Move
Stopped Cold
There's no future for a beanie.
A move by the Union activities
committee to restore the vener-
able tradition requiring freshmen
to wear the legendary symbol of
inferiority was stopped cold yes-
terday by the Student Affairs
Committee.
Acting on a request to make
freshmen wear beanies for the first
two weelps of the fall termr, SAC de-
cided the custom passed out with
World War II and members had
no desire to bring it back.
Union plans had called for a
freshmen-sophomore tug of war
at the end of the second week. If
the freshmen proved victorious
they would have been able to burn
the felt caps at a pep rally bon-
fire.
But if the sophomores won, the
freshmen would have had to bear
the indignity for a third week.
