Last week's rumors :hat probation was in the offing for tho organization were strengthened after the meeting. It was guessed by a spokesman who wished to remain anonymous that the probation would involve a restriction of all social activities and pledging until spring, 1350.
“Minutes of the committee meeting have not yet gone to the administration for approval,” said Prof. Sidney Duncan, chairman.
“There will be no announcement
until the administration acts on the recommendation.”
Chaplain Clinton Neyman, committee member, said that the committee is “just an advisory board and any action must come from the administration.
“There were no dissenting votes at the meeting,'’ he said.
Gl-bill status of the veterans involved was cleared up by Dr. Philip A. Libby, director of veterans affairs.
“Legally, fraudulent registration is cause for losing GI benefits, but in a case like this, the Veterans administration usually goes along with the university decision,” Dr. Libby said.
Gates of Troy Being 'Blitzed'
The “Gates of Troy” are being “blitzed” by SC students. The pledge class of Alpha Phi Omega, national boy scout service organization, is “blitzing” the university seal on the fountain at University avenue and 34th street, but it’s for a good cause.
Cleaning of the seal and the stone part of the fountain is part of the APO pledge project. The pledge class works in shifts and expects to finish the project as soon as materials to finish cleaning the stone are obtained. Meanwhile, “blitzing” of the seal will continue until the bronze sparkles.
AEPhis Win Grade Trophy
Alpha Epsilon Phi yesterday was declared winner cf the rotating scholarship trophy by Fraternity Coordinator Richard H. Berg. AEPhi had a 1.507 grade point average.
The trophy is a large loving cup presented by the Interfratemity council. Each semester it is en-gTaved and presented to the house having the highest scholastic average for the previous semester.
Marco Pollner, president of the fraternity, said the AEPhi has a high average nationally. The fraternity will try to win the cup again, he said, because AEPhi’s national headquarters has “promised us an award at the international convsnticn in Winnipeg if we do.”

Committee Will Question Administration on Issue
New Protest
by Harvey Diederich and Jerry Bres	*
The ASSC Senate last night neatly sidestepped the contro- j versiai “race and descent” motion which would recommend to the university administration the deletion of questions concerning race, religion, and birth from admissions blanks. I The Senate passed, 27-2, a motion by Grafton Tanquary,
---—KAMS president, that the proposal,;
authored by Bob Padgett, be tabled, j Only Padgett and Omar Kureishi,! senator-at-large, opposed Tanquary's j tabling motion.
Tanguary’s motion included a proposal for the appointment of a committee of three to confer with the administration. Its purpose wrill be to discover the reasons race and descent information is requested on the admissions blanks.
NO SPECIFIC TIME The committee is to report its findings to the Senate, at which time the Padgett proposal may again be brought up. No specific time for the committee to report back was set, however, beyond demanding the report “as soon as it can get a hold of the officials.” Padgett, Chet Carter, senator-at-large, and ASSC President Johnny Davis will serve on the committee.
Padgett said he and Omar Kureishi and Chet Carter, senators-at-large who helped him draft the motion, fervently hoped that it would not be considered a political football as “had been implied.”

Racial Bans Under Attack
The latest move in the snowballing resentment against racial restrictions and discrimination is a resolution presented last Monday to the Board of Bar Governors by Joseph Capalbo, freshman class vice president of the School of Law.
The resolution proposed that the board fail to recognize any honorary or professional fraternity that “maintains as a basis for membership any restrictions as to race, creed, color, or national origin.”
The resolution was tabled but Will come up for discussion at the Monday night board meeting.
Capalbo’s resolution would give organizations until Jan. 1, li*50, to eliminate any restrictions they have at present, and until the following January to remove restrictions completely.
The four professional law fraternities recognized by the Board of Governors are Phi Delta Phi, Delta Theta Phi, Mu Beta Epsilon, and Phi Alpha Delta. Capalbo declined to state which groups maintained race restrictions but said “tome” of them do; at lease on a

Row Politicos Try to Mend Greek Rifts'
By Don Moyer and Harvey Diederich
Menaced by potentially powerful independent candidates. .Row politicos are trying desperately,to close a breach that threatens to split fraternities into two camps.
That was the general picture yesterday. There were few new developments since exposure of a break among Row politicans at a meeting of the Row Election Primary committee Monday.
Faction strategists, apparently fearing premature exposure of their plans, had little more than general statements to make concerning the split.
However, in spite of the muddled situation, certain points seem apparent. These points seem to reverse the general picture.
1. Row political power on campus is facing its greatest test in recent years. Bob Padgett has shown promise of being the man to unify m-sible reason why the questions are dependent voters and beat the Row there.

“There is no implication whatsoever that the administration is guilty of discrimination. But we are of the opinion, that inasmuch as

NO DISCRIMINATION?
Declaring that he had never wit- | nessed an act of discrimination in his four years on campus, Don Evans, proxy for Pat McGriff, said the administration used the information in giving out certain scholarships and that it served a valuable purpose.
Doug Morgan, newly appointed independent representative-at-1 a r g e, said that, since all agreed no discrimination was being practiced, the motion would have a detrimental oun°e-

honored guests and Coach Sam Barry and Coach Rod Dedeaux will be guest speakers.
Dave Evans, president of the Y. said that membership cards will be needed for admission and they can be obtained in 405 Student Union.
Hi-Ball Offers Top Talent
Top film and music personalities will help brighten the frosh-spon-sored Hi-ball tomorrow night at Riviera Country club.
The lineup, announced by frosh president Fred Harper, includes movie stars Loretta Young, Red Skelton, and Howard Duff; musicians Harry “the Hipster” Gibson, and Louis Armstrong; and nightclub comic Pinky Lee. The entertainers will attempt to kindle spirit for the Trojan Chest drive and help freshmen and other students get acquainted.
“The Hipster” was a crowed pleaser at iast semester’s pre-Notre Dame game rally and is expected to repeat some of his piano-vocal hits like “Stop that Dancin’ up There,” “Wolf of Vine Street,” and “Who Put the Nembutal in Mr. Murphy’s Overalls.”
Armstrong, one of the all-time jazz greats, is a model for young trumpet players and blues singers the world over, while Skelton and Duff are known for their respective radio interpretations of the “mean widdle kid,” and “Sam Spade.” Pinky Lee is one of the most-laughed-at comedians in show business and is very popular locally. Miss Young was a 1948 Academy Award winner.
