Panhel approved a statement last night to be sent to the Regents requesting a "reaffirmation" of Panhel's authority to impose changes on sorority constitutions. Panhel derives its power to over- see the membership selection of sororities from the R e g e n t s through SGC. National sorority, heads and National Panhellenic Council have questioned whether Panhel dose indeed have this pow- er and on this basis have refused to allow many of the 16 houses to sign the statement of last Jan. 24.

Humphrey hurt by McCarthy snub NEW YORK (P) - Hubert H. Humphrey said yesterday, "I feel a little sad," at Sen. Eugene' J. McCarthy's refusal to endorse him for the presidency. The vice president's comment at an airport news conference referred to McCarthy's statement Tuesday night that he would not endorse Humphrey at this time, but that there were. conditions he hoped Humphrey would adopt. McCarthy called for a-shift in Vietnam war policy, a restruc- turing of the draft system and reform of the Democratic party machinery. While flying from Boston to New York to accept the state's Liberal party presidential nomi- nation, Humphrey told newsmen he talked to McCarthy on the telephone' Tuesday. He said. the Minnesota senator was more con- cerned about the structure of a South Vietnamese government than about an immediate bomb- ing halt.
