O position to Vienna Youth Festival Site Grow By JOAN KAATZ (EDITOR'S NOTE: The following story is compiled from information release4 by the several organizations cited.) If the unfavorable Western and Austrian opinion toward holding the seventh biennial World Youth Festival in Vienna continues. to mount, indications are that the festival will be moved to Prague. The international convention of students is scheduled for July 26 through Aug. 4 and is sponsored by the Communist-dominated World Federation of Democratic Youth (WFDY) and the Interna- tional Union of. Students (IUS). With the exception of the first festival held in Prague in 1947 be- fore the Polish coup, this is the first year the ,convention has been planned outside the Iron Curtain. The festivals have been charged with being extensions of Soviet foreign policy and propaganda. Lost Non-Communist Membership The WFDY and IUS have continually supported Soviet foreign policy in all their actions, and since 1950 has lost all its previous non-communist membership. The holding of the festival in neutral Austria is being boycotted by the "Junges Leben," an Austrian students group. They claim "the plan to hold this festival in Austria is, in the opinion of all free Austrian youth and student orgaszations, a violation of Austrian neutrality . .. (which they) unanimously oppose." The United States National Students Association (USNSA) has declined to send American delegates to the festival because of its alleged Communist sponsorship. USNSA is, however, encouraging well-informed students who happen to be in Europe at festival time to attend the convention if they so desire. Hungarians Take Stand Similar encouragement has been forthcoming from the Associa- tion of Hungarian Students in North America which claims that the festival is used "to demonstrate to the neutralist nations the superi- ority of the Soviet system." Two independent American organizations are distributing infor- mation on the festival. The Independent Service for Information on, the Vienna Youth Festival is organized to acquaint those students, who want to attend the festival individually wih the background and goals of the convention. The American Youth Festival organization (AFYO), operating out of Chicago, is designed to organize an American group of dele- gates to the festival. Headed by Barbara Perry, who attended the Moscow Festival in 1957, the political nature otkthe group is unknown. The American branch of the Festival's Preparatory Committee is located in New York with branches in Chicago and Detroit. This group has been frequently accused by American student groups as a Communist-front organization. The United States government is not contesting the- holding of the festival in Vienna; maintaining it a matter of local'concern to the Austrian government ,according to Maurice S. Rice, a United States State Department officer. The Austrian government has taken the stand that both sides of the political fence should be allowed to operate within the coun- try if true neutrality is to remain. Festival organizers planned the convention in Vienna apparently to: 1) alleviate doubts about its Communist sponsorship by taki the festival outside the Iron Curtain; 2) avoid the disruptive even within Communist countries that can occur when the conference held there and 3) be clpse to the Soviet orbit in case a change location is necessary. Although no definite change to Prague has been effected, the are indications that the Soviets may have over-extended themsely by attempting to run a successful festival in the West. Quotas allotted to Western countries have been severely cut, a only the best trained young Comniunists will attend the conventic In addition, the length of the festival has been shortened from I usual two weeks to 10 days, and pre-festival propaganda is n plentiful as in the past.

In other action the Board designated Frederick House as a per- manently separate unit of South Quadrangle. In acting on women's upperclass housing, the group accepted the .fve-point joint housing recommendation of the Assembly Association Housing Committee and the Office of the Dean of Women. The recommendation asked for a continuation of Little House as a housing unit for junior and senior women, but said another year of evaluation was necessary before a final decision could be reached. Ask Conversion of Barbour Myra Freeman, '60, president of Little House and Jo Ann Vance, '6OEd., the group's secretary, wrote to the Board to ask that Betsy Barbour be converted to an upperclass house. Barbour voted earlier ^to become a residence for junior Discuss New r Lease Plans Possible changes in the present lease arrangement in married students' housing units were con- sidered at a recent meeting of. Northwood Terrace Tenant Asso- ciation members, Business Man- ager of the Residence Halls Leon- ard B. Schaadt, and Vice-President in charge of Business and Finance Wilbur K. Pierpont. Explaining the conflict between the administration and the stu- dents, who advocate the substitu- tion of a' shorter lease for the present year-long contract, Robert Grace, Grad., chairman of the Association Steering Committee, called the problem a "moral versus financial" one. "The administration has certain mortgage obligations on the mar- ried students' housing which can- not be met unless the apartments are occupied 12 months .a year," he said, adding that a reduction of the lease period might cause a s raise in rent to compensate for the financial loss. Senator Asks Scrip Payment Authorization LANSING (MP) - The Legislature was asked yesterday to authorize local school districts and state universities to pay teachers in scrip in the event of payless pay- days in Michigan.' "This is no kidding. I'm serious y about it," said Sen. Haskell L. Nichols (R-Jackson), author of a concurrent resolution submitted in the Senate. Scrip is ,a certificate of indebted- ness that in this case would be issued by a governmental unit in lieu of government currency. He said he knew of no school district immediately threatened with exhaustion of funds to meet payrolls. "I brought in a resolution similar to this 27 years ago and they laughed at me," he continued. "It wasn't long before there were bank closings and property tax collec- tions went to pot." To Consider and senior women. The letter said the Assembly re- port did not adequately represent the girls' views. It stated there was a great need for upperclass housing and urged the conversion of Barbour to accommodate this need "as soon as possible." Miss Freeman and Miss Vance 'later appeared before the Board, with several members of the com- mittee which drew up Assembly's report to present their case per- sonally. Report Gives Broader Opinion Assistant Dean of Women Elsie Fuller pointed out that the girls from Little House were represent- ing only themselves, while the Assembly deport, having been ap- proved by the Assembly Dormitory Council, registered the opinion of a much larger number of women. \ With regard to the reopening of Jordan Hall in the fall, the report recommended that the Jordan girls now living in Markley be given first priority in returning to Jordan. It was also recommended that the residents of Mosher oc- cupy what will later be Seeley House in Mary Markley while Mosher is closed for repairs. The Board later established Frederick House as a permanent separate unit of South Quadrangle. Jack Hale, senior director of men's residence halls, said he felt Taylor House would be far too large a housing unit if it were to be joined with Frederick House. Frederick House was originally part of Tay- lor. The house will be open to re- turning students and to new trans- fer students. Hale expressed the hope that the house would eventu- ally become an upperclass resi- dence, assuming there would be a demand for it as such. The Board also approved a mo- tion that Tyler House and Pres- cott House, both in East Quad- rangle, should keep their present composition. Tyler House is a resi- dence for graduate men, and Pres- cott is composed both of graduates and transfers. IKE SPEECH: .East, West Announce Reactions By The Associated Press The officialSoviet news agency Tass charged last night that Pres- ident Dwight D. Eisenhower's na- tionwide speech on Berlin Tuesday reflected United States determina- tion to keep troops in West Berlin indefinitely. Western Europe and Britain ap- proved Pres. Eisenhower's declara- tion of willingness to attend a summit conference if adequate preparation was made by a foreign ministers meeting. West Germany and West Berlin applauded Pres. Eisenhower's as- surance that the United States will stand by its commitments. Tass Comments But Tass said Pres. Eisenhower's main intent was "to convince American public opinion of the legality of the stay of American troops in Western Berlin 14 years after the end of the war." "The whole spirit of the speech conveys the United States govern- ment's wish to prolong the occu- pation of Berlin for an indefinite time," Tass added. In Bonn, West German Chan- cellor Konrad Adenauer praised Pres. Eisenhower's speech. He told a meeting of his Christian Demo- cratic party Pres. Eisenhower "made it very clear how important the United States regards the situation in Berlin today." Brandt Sees Reassurance West Berlin Mayor Willy Brandt said Pres. Eisenhower's words "re- affirm our conviction that we can truly count on our American friends." Red China's radio said Pres. Eisenhower's address Monday in- dicated the United States dared not unleash an aggressive war. 'Generation' Anniversary Issue Larger Special poetry features will be included in the coming 10th an- niversary issue of "Generation," campus inter-arts mag a ine, which will go on sale tomorrow, according to Ann Doniger, '60, co-editor. The magazine will be larger than usual, Miss Doniger said, and more copies will be available. Translations from French and Spanish poetry and guest contri- butions by Prof. Donald Hall of the English department will high- light the magazine. Generation will be on sale at Angell and Mason Halls and the Union, as well as at local book- stores, both tomorrow and Friday. Spring SGC Voting First Day Total its, State Senate Studies Plan For Loans By ROBERT JUNKER A proposal to establish an auth- ority to provide loans for college students is currently being studied by the State Senate. Th'e measure, proposed by Rep. Willard I. Bowerman, Jr., (R- Lansing), passed the House Fri- day, 78-7, and is currently being studied by the Senate Education Committee. Bowerman's bill would set up an authority, financed by gifts from industry, foundations and individuals, which would guaran- tee loans to college students. The student would obtian a loan from the bank, and the authority would guarantee repayment of up to 80 per cent of the loan. To Relieve Restriction This guarantee would relieve the present restriction. which banks place on college student loans of requiring both the stu- dent and his parent to have life insurance as a guaranteed repay- ment. By relieving this insurance restriction, loans would be made more economical, Bowerman said. Bowerman explained this loan authority would make money available to students who cannot now afford a college education. He said the high school student without outstanding grades can- not now win a scholarship and in many cases is prevented from at- tending college. This proposal would make long-term loans available at low cost. Omits Details The bill leaves many specific details up to the proposed nine- man authority which will be ap- pointed by the governor. Bower- man added, however, that the authority would be able to exert pressure on banks to "see the stu- dents got a fair shake" in interest rates. Specific interest rates would be decided by individual banks, but would be "considerably below" six per cent, he said. Dean of Men Walter B. Rea said the common rate for University loans current- ly is three per cent. TWO BALLOTS REQUIRED: Martens Elected President of IFC 22 00.

Lags Yale Groups Voice Protest Against Police By RUTHANN RECUT The faculty and the student-run Yale News of Yale University "feel ashamed of the student part in Thursday's and Saturday's dis-. turbances, but see no reason for the brutality displayed by the New Haven police," an editor of The News told The Daily Monday, For Thursday's incident, in which a snowball fight turned into a free-for-all with city po- lice, the two freshmen dormitories which faced on the scene of the riot were put on social probation. The student body was put on gen- eral probation, threatening any student with expulsion who pub- licly misbehaves in the future. Gives Reason for Arrests "One policeman reported to the New Haven Register that Yale students were arrested Thursday because they threw snowballs at parading girls from neighboring Albertus Magnus College. Officials and students denied this claim," he said. Twenty-five students were ar- rested Thursday and 16 were ar- rested Saturday, but the incident on Saturday is held to be the ma- jor of the two. At that time stu- dents pelted city policemen who marched at the end of the St. Pat- rick's Day parade. Say Police Hit Students According to this editor, they did it because the police pushed them back into the crowd and hit them with their billy clubs, injur- ing several students and faculty memberswho were trying to re- store order. FPA Grants Colony Status To TEP Club Tau Epsilon Phi was unan mously granted colony status la night as the campus's eigh "predominantly Jewish" frate nity. By THOMAS HAYDEN James Martens, '60BAd., was elected president of Interfrater- nity Council last night in a close contest requiring two ballots by the Fraternity Presidents' Asso- ciation. After an unprecedented tie vote on the first ballot, the assembly chose Martens, of Delta Kappa Epsilon, over Michael Sklar, '60, of Zeta Beta Tau. Also elected were Paul Becker, '60E, of Lambda Chi Alpha, exec- utive vice-president; Glen Reavis, '60, of Delta Upsilon, administra- tive vice-president; Al Dickerson, '60E, of Phi Kappa Psi, secretary; and Reed Jenney, '60E, of Beta Theta Pi, secretary. Discusses Structure Arguing that the internal struc- ture of IFC is "basically good," Martens noted a need for giving the "lower structure" more re- sponsibility and a "greater voice in program planning." Discussing the role of the IFC president, he stressed a "need for a thorough working relationship" with the system's 42 undergradu- ate. houses. The president must assume "a role of leadership and guidance in all activities," he said. It is the "unvarying duty", of the president to vote the majority will of the system in Student Government Council decisions, Martens told the group. Notes Problems Sklar claimed the fraternity system "must frankly admit it has problems," noting the devel- opment of a "general anti- fraternity feeling." "I'm not asking a r a d i c a l change, but a start towards a more realistic attitude," he said. He called for a "structural change" in IFC, particularly at the executive level, which sometimes is forced "to carry too much respon- sibility." Sklar asked for more committees made up of "outstanding men" selected from the system and re- sponsible for whole areas of con- cern, such as scholarship. "IFC is not merely a service organization," he said. "Rather, it exists to see the system puts its best foot forward." ni-. ast ith ;er- Th1e motion as passed reads "that Tau Epsilon Phi be granted colony status effective Sept., 1959, final recognition as a fraternity to be pending satisfactory com- pletion of requirements as estab- lished by the Executive Commit- tee." Among necessary requirements are scholastic average above the all-mens' average and membership of at least thirty with 20 to 30 per cent taking part in extra cur- ricular activities. Approved hous- ing, adequate financial status, arrangements for a national char- ter, alumni advisor and alumni corporation are also essentials. Final recognition as a colony and, later, as a fraternity is sub- ject to approval by SGC. Elections Director RichardErbe '61, reported that yesterday's bal- loting in the Student Governmen Council elections totalled "around 2,200." Last semester the count for thi first day's polling was 3,200. Last night it was reported by i member of SGC's Credentials Committee that one of the candi dates in the election had violated the rule that campaign posters must not be placed closer than 50 feet from the polls. The committee member de- clined to name the candidate in volved. The Credentials Committee i planning to take the violation to the Joint Judiciary Council in the near future. Aside from this reported viola tion, Erbe said that "From al indications the election has pro ceeded without dishonesty." Blames Bad Weather Erbe attributed the poor turnou yesterday to the "bad weathe, pure and simple." He said tha the bitter 16-degree cold and a high wind which scattered ballot around the polls cut down the voting: and made "the Job for our poll workers very difficult." With better weather expected for today's voting, Erbe said tha the voting "will be pretty clos to the usual second-day total o between 2,500 and 3,000." Erbe said that due to advers weather conditions, several voting boothes have been moved Insid where they have greater protec tion from the elements. The station which formerly wa on the Diag has been moved int the lobby of Mason Hall. Move Booth Inside The polling place which was or the Slab is now located in th front lobby of Angell Hall. Students intending to vote i front of the business administra tion school building will find th voting booth moved inside th building. One of the moves took plac rather suddenly. Al Haber, '60 an SGC member not running i this election found himself earl this morning manning a votin booth on the Diag. After about 15 minutes in th bitter cold, he suddenly diseovere that his beard had frozen solid and decided to move the boothin. side rather than risk any furtbw damage. Focus of Talk To Be India SAGUY DENIES ARAB FEARS: Israel Able To Absorb Emigrants $y KENNETH McELDOWNEY The ability of Israel to absorb the emigration of Jews from Eastern European countries was stressed last night in a lecture by Gideon Saguy, a consul to the United States from Israel. He said that the fears of the Arab states that any further emi- gration of Jews into Israel would cause expansion desires were com- pletely4 unfounded. Because of the fertile land that is being claimed from the desert and the swamps, Saguy noted, there is no need for rael to have more land on which the emigrants may support them- .....:.. .= < "-.. «;r:... ...--- = I selves.
