The yellow and green rally | i-ticks will be distributed ; throughout the women’s section at the first of the varsity game. In order that none of the pom poms will get lost between games, they will be picked up again before the end of the last half. Miss Anderson added. Ike Requests Power to Aid WASHINGTON IAPi- Presi dent Eisenhower was reported Thursday night to be considering asking Congress for special au thority to use United States nav al and air power to help evacuate Chinese Nationalist troops from some Islands along th<? Red China coast if necssary. These troops would then be de ployed elsewhere for the defense of Formosa and the Pescadores, which the United States is com mitted to help Chiang Kai-Shek hold against the Chinese Reds. Two congressional leaders, who stipulated that they not be named, said that if the President decides to ask the evacuation authority, he might make the request by Monday. There was some talk that he might make it personally to a joint session of Congress, but this was uncertain. The Chinese Reds have assault ed, and claimed the capture of the little island of Yikiangshan, and are menacing the Tachen slands, 200 miles north of Formosa, the island bastion of Gen. Chiang Kai Shek. But just what islands would be evacuated presumably would be determined by military develop ments. Secretary of State Dulles was reported to have told congression al leaders at a briefing session Thursday that the administration would like to have the evacuation authority. Dulles and Adm. Arthur W. Radford, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, met with congres sional leaders in a closed session ; at the State Department for about 90 minutes Thursday morning. The National Security Council, composed of Eisenhower and top officials, then had a session. With regard to the use of the resources of the US 7th Fleet ! operating in the Formosa Strait, and transport craft for with drawal of Chinese Nationalist forces from some islands, two 1 problems were said to have been j put up to congressional leaders at the meeting with Dulles: 1. Generalissimo Chiang has asked for US help in the Tachen ! Islands, which have been under Red bombardment and artillery fire. The presumption here is that the kind of help Chiang wants is that which would strengthen the defenses of the island —: more planes for air cover, more ammu nition and supplies for his Amer ican-equipped forces. But Chiang may have to with draw from the Tachens, even if American supplies are increased, should Communist pressure be come too great. However, he has no facilities for evacuation of the 20,000 or so troops defending these islands and would need American help to get them out. 2. Some of the many islands which Chiang holds along the China coast are regarded by A merican military men as having no real value. American authori ties feel that the Nationalist de fenses overall could be streng thened if there was a regrouping of Chiang's forces. Here again there is a question of the re (Continued on page three) Greek Week Plan Approved by IFC <_»reeK weex was set for the first weekend of spring term at an Inter-fraternity council meet ing Thursday night. The group adopted the Greek week committee report, set the date and scheduled a Friday night dinner to be followed by an in formal street or tennis court dance. Saturday activities, as set by the committee, will include ath letic contests such as chariot races and a bicycle marathon, with a dance to climax the week end activities in the Student ball room that night. The committee report was adopted despite some opposition on the grounds that establishing Greek week as a tradition would have to ge done gradually. Gary Jones, president of Theta Chi, al so said that there were too many activities during spring term at the present time to schedule such a full program. IFC will present the program to the Panhellenic council with a plan that both groups join in sponsoring the program. Andy Berwick, president of Beta Theta Pi. moved that IFC go on record as opposing the WRA carnival in future years but later withdrew' the motion. The matter came up after IFC Peter Williams said the carnival was “getting to be kind of a headache and doesn't do the Uni versity any good." Berwick asked. “Why should the fraternities be taxed for the activity?” Jones suggested tabling the motion until after this year’s carnival so that the group could study the financial loss and wTork involved. Berwick withdrew his motion when the group voiced fear that the Emerald would "splash the story across the front page” and thus ruin the chances for a suc cessful carnival this year. Jones then withdrew his mo tion to table the original motion. Williams said that the matter would be considered again after this year’s carnival when data on the matter was available and someone could “come to the meeting and plead the case for the carnival.” Bob Pollock, president of Sig ma Chi, moved that all houses interested in building floats for the canoe fete apply to the can5e fete committee. The motion came as a result of the canoe fete committee's re quest to determine which houses should build floats. A maximum of 10 floats can participate in this year’s canoe fete. The group passed Pollock’s motion stipulating that houses along the Millrace be chosen first with the other houses being se lected by chance.
