Postponment of the meeting was done for two reasons. All the background data and college history of the nominees has hot yet been accumulaited.

A proposal to lower the present 1.6 grade point ratio requirement to] 1.0 was dropped when the com mittee felt that such action would tend to lower the value of the award. However, the committee be lieved that occasionally there w^re cases which deserved special con sideration. Such a situation midht exist whenever an outstanding man, having a 1.5 GPR upon 4 n * tering his senior year, lost; that ratio because of extensive extra curricular activities during his last year. The committee stipulated that, if such a case were presented, a unanimous vote of the committee would be necessary before the 1.5 GPR requirement could be relaxed. The recommendation received a unanimous vote at the committee meeting. It must now be approved by the Academic Council before it can become effective. Request Turned Down A Senior Class request that it be allowed to sell photographic coupons in the dormitories 1 was refused. Reasons for refusal in cluded the value of the service being rendered, the possibility that such action might set ai pre cedent fop other businesses ip the area, and similar service is avail able at several North Gate photo graphic shops.

Invitations, as Tapley pre- f tlces more real, applied, Communism than any I other coun try, Including Russia, .Harsch seld, Tito openly defies Moscow. The Yugoetava cen afford this defiance, he continued, because they are "frontlerslly free" from Russia, surrounded by frlsndly, or partially sympathetic, countries. : Harsch described Yugoslavia as a “nation of peasants’’ and the most technically backward coun try in the iron curtain. Their in herent, intense dislike for foreign ers has prevented infiltration of their country by Moscow-implant ed Reds, however,, and their brand of Communism, while brutal and rugged, is strictly their own. Finland, Harsch continued, is as modern as the Yugoslavs are back ward, but the Finns share their Courage and desire for political in dependence. 1 Czechoslovakia was described by Harsch as more like the U.S. than any of the other curtain countries. He described the Poles as an ex tremely nationalistic race. Just awakening to the fact they are be ing exploited by their Russian masters. ! In his Introductory remarks, the European political authority de scribed the H bomb as a “strate gic, not a tactical weapon”. :He qualified this definition by aaylng' the bomb is a one-punch weapon for which there is no retaliation, since the opening shot ends the war,- J “Two properly placed H bombs in the East Coast area between i and Washington, D.; C. take the U. 8. out af a war" said flatly. Texas industry Is so widely dis persed, he went on, that the Hous ton ship channel Is probably the only spot In the state that would offer a target for a crippling mil itary blow. The principle of the H bomb Is far from being ’ new, Harsch ex plained, and Russia may have pne developed now, or may have efan hud one before we began work on a With this availability and the bomb's terrific, even Inconceivable, destructive power, he seld, this smell trend of free thought 4ml action In Yugoslavia may hs the only preventative to world de nt ruction, > ’ Harsch was speaking in Uuj under the sponsorship of the (>r Issues course, end was tntroqi by it’s instructor, Dr. B.
