In an attempt to gain a charter from the Republican State Committee, the Harvard Eisenhower Club has begun an all-out drive to recruit freshman members with a special plan for installment memberships. One of the two Executive Committee members canvassing the dorms speculated yesterday that "theoretically, at our present rate, we could get 200 members."

The membership fee is still one dollar, "but if a student pays 25 cents now we can count him in our club," Eliot D. Bernat '60, president of the Club, said yesterday.

Bernat admitted that "it is necessary that we have some deadwood now to get our charter. If we get 60, they might give it to us; if we get 100 our chances are awfully bright," he added. The Club yesterday reported having "between 40 and 50 members."

Freshmen who join the Club are being offered "an increased number of seminars and speeches, punches and a big beer blast next fall."

He also claimed that Freshmen who join the Club have no reason to feel that they are committing themselves to one set of views. "As a club, we have no political policy," Bernat said.

Most of the members of the Club do not support the Eisenhower Administration. "Most of us are opposed to Eisenhower," Bernat asserted. "Only one member that I know of is entirely for Eisenhower."
