Dull Thinks Formosa Attack Possible in June By Pete Taussig Emgralil Raoorttr Mao-Tae-tung’s expressed be lief that "danger to the revo lution is greatest when the fight ing ceases" might be one of the reasons, according to Paul S. Dull, associate professor of his tory and political science, why the communists might attack Formosa in June. ' Dull made this statement dur ing the international relations club's panel discussion of "Should the United States recognize Red China” Tuesday night. After the meeting Dull added that he believes there is a very good chance the Chinese Reds will move against Formosa in June. Commies Building Forces The communists are budding up their forces now. Dull point ed out. "They might attack," he pre dicted, "and there would be a terrific air battle over the straits. Pressure would build up within the United States to use the A-bomb and we won’t go fishing this summer." "We no longer dare to fight because of the terrible conse quences of modern warfare yet we dare not fuil to oppose com munist aggression." “Containment Thru Strength" Dull, taking the position that the US should not recognize the I communist Chinese government, . advocated a short-range policy of containment through strength while long-range plans for con | tainment. on the idealogieal front are developed.

Lack of Membership' Main Reason for Move 11“' University chapter of Pi Kappa [’hi will close at the cihI of winter term because of a lack of sufficient member ship. i !•( announcement was made by (*cnc Murphy, president of the living organization, Tuesday afternoon. Murphy said that the main reason for the closing is a “lack of sufficient membership to make ends meet.” 'I lie fraternity currently has 13 men affiliated with it, 12 of these living in. Murphy pointed out that it would take at hast 16 people “living in” for the organization to make a profit. Pledging Troubles "The real trouble has been a lack of pledging initiative on the j part ot the members,” Murphy said. "We have been aware for a i long time that we were becoming short of finances but the members just didn't have the push to do anything about it.” The biggest problem that has made it hard for the Pi Kaps to ; get new pledges, according to Murphy, is the fact that they have ; such a small house compared to many of the fraternities on campus. "It is the fight against the big fraternities that has caused our j difficulty,” Murphy declared. The official closing of the house will be the Saturday after winter term final week. By this time all men living in the house will have to be moved out. Move to Apartments "Most of the fellows will rent apartments,” Murphy said. "My j home is Eugene so I plan on living at home.” When informed of the closing by the Emerald late Tuesday, Pvay Hawk, director of men's affairs, said that "it doesn’t come as too much of a surprise. The Pi Kaps have been struggling along with ’ e shortage of membership for a long time,” he said, “but I did •hink that they planned to slay open until the end of the school | year at least.” Hawk said that he was "sorry to see the house suspend opera tion? because, despite its lack of a large membership, the organiza tion has been a definite asset to the University.” House to Be Sold Murphy expressed doubt that the organization would be re established on campus in the near future. He said that the chapter house, which is located at 740 E. 15th street, would "probably be put up for sale this spring.” Hawk said that, although it is not University policy to allow new organizations to be established on campus when conditions aren't crowded, he was sure that an exception would be made in the case of the Pi Kaps if they should decide to reopen at a future date.
