Volume XLVZ Campus Poll: From Berlin To World War? by Paul Knight This week, in an attempt to bridge the gap from last spring, students were polled on perluips the most burning issue of the sum mer: "Would you support the military defense of Berlin even if defending the city would mean the advent of World War III?" Yes, I would, because I believe communism must be stopped some where, so why not in Berlin, the city that is a symbol of the free world? If we stand firm on the question of defending the city I don't think we will lose it. I firmly believe the Russians do not want a total war.— STEEN SPOVE. Yes, if only through the defense of Berlin, we could proclaim our determination to uphold our basic beliefs in the right of the individual to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. 1 believe these ideals are worth any price.— CHABLFS BAKER. No. Military defense in Berlin only provokes the communists for an excuse to throw the world into a holocaust. The World War II treaty gives the West rights in the city. If the communists violate the treaty, they will be looked down upon. Military defense only builds up tension. I believe the U.N. could help settle the problem, since the four powers can't agree. DEETS MCCULLEN. (Continued on page 2, column 5) MSG Notes by Don Raiford The MSG, in its initial meeting on September 25, discussed at length the recent ruling that men students must wear coats and ties to all evening meals and to the noon meal on Sundays. The repre sentatives met with the Committee on Counseling on September 28 for further consideration of the matter. The committee reported that the faculty had become concerned with the poor dress habits of a segment of the student population. Men students were reportedly appear ing in the dining hall wearing T shirts, bermudas, dungarees, sweat shirts, and gym shoes none of which is appropriate at any meal. Acceptable dress consists of coats and ties for evening meals and the Sunday meal and slacks with shirts tucked in for all other meals. The MSG requests that all stu dents familiarize themselves with the campus traffic regulations. Traffic violation tickets have been printed ,and periodic checks will he made by MSG members. The council decided that the 48 men students living in the new Frazier Apartments should elect a representative to MSG. A proctor system to insure quiet ness in the men's dormitories was discussed. This was deemed neces sary because of the closing of King Hall to night study. Periodic spot checks on rooms for damage and cleanliness was also brought under discussion. No decision was reach ed ,and these items were referred to the agenda for the next meeting.
