By CHARLES KOZOLL While a conflict of interests could result from the power structure of the Women's League and the Dean of Women, the presence of Women's Panhel halts this tendency. The group serves to shore the gap between Women's Judiciary Council and the Dean, according to Susan Price, '59, former member of the panel. The group, further carries out the idea of effectively counseling a woman who violates a regulation rather than mechani- Dean Bacon ommlrients On Article The following statement was sent to The Daily by the Dean of Women after reading the first clraft of the article on the women's ji)diciary system. rI am pleased although scarcely surprised to find The "Daily show, ing an interest in. the structur 4 "and function of student judiciaries "There is no need to labor the point of the Women's League, dat. ing from 1890; Women's Judiciary 1917;. organized PanHellenic around 1923; Assembly,.1936: these organizations are obviously stable strong, flexible, proud of their past * growing.

"I thoroughly disagree with wha The Daily says, here; but I wil defend-although scarcely to m5 death-its right to say it." -Deborah Bacon Seeks Voice Foi' Students Daily Editor Richard Taub, '59 yesterday told the Student Gov- ernment Council's Plan Clarifi cation 'Committee that student should have a more formal say i maters such as curriculumii, ad missions and counseling. "It is nice to learn how to be petty administrators while or. SGC, but what does this have t do with the basic purposes of the University," he asked. Commenting on one of the area; t h a t T a u b mentioned, Prof Charles Lehmann of the education. lshool, chairman of the com mittee, said that what a profes sor is to teach has become almost immune from criticism. Since ii is almost impossible for even othe: professors to suggest what should r' be taught bj their colleagues, i is hard to see how they would ac- cept any decisions made by stu dents, Prof. Lehmann added. In switching to another aspec of the SGC problem, Taub said student government must be re tcally punishing her. The same idea is emphasized throughout all units of the judiciary system. House groups attempting to carry out this function are often ham- pered by students' lack of respect and/or understanding of Univer- sity regulations. This is particu- larly true in the residencehalls. 1Deal with Minor Problems All of the local .judiciaries deal s with what are termed by Sarah f Drasin, '5', former Women's Ju- t diciary Chairman, "minor disci- s plinary problems." They are main- ly .late- minutes and violations of V quiet hours. / These groups derive their power e from the League, whose constitu- tion points out that "each resi- e dence hall, or combination of resi- dence, shall have a House Judici- ary Council, such combinations as approved by Women's Judiciary e Council." Individual houses and sororities may differ in the method of choos- ing judic members and the manner of dealing with problems, but all - share the commoi concept of seek- c ing to eliminate the causes of diffi- - culties through personal counsel- - ing techniques. d Easier in Sororities Discipline matters are easier to s deal with, in sororities because the S group is smaller and more closely united than in the-residence halls, Terre Finkler, '6sd, president of , Zeta Tau Alpha pointed out. - "Women in a sorority are also working to maintain the reputa- 9tion of their house," she continued. s This stimulates them to avoid em- barrassing discipline problems and impress the members with the importance of following University d regulations. Many sororities have what are e termed "standards chairmen" to deal with violations that go beyond the "minor" stage. Because of the close nature of the sorority, Bar- bara Shinnik, ~'60, president of Collegiate Sorosis explained, the d house president or a group of "in- terested sisters" can often help a e girl solve a problem.

Most of the more than an hour discussion was centered on his first motion concerning University actions following the American Association of University Profes- sors' censure. The censure was based o nthe University's failure to "observe the generally recog- nized principles of academic free-r dom and tenure," and also tor inform the public of them. After amendments had been added to the motion, introduced by Roger Seasonwein, '61, he de- cided tot withdraw his motion.' Concern Many Issues Haber's other proposals con- cerned a variety of issues. One concerned easing the present re- quirement for the submission of membership lists of organizations to the Office of Student Affairs.; ;Haber said he considered his proposal calling for the publica- tion of.,a booklet on academic Warpath Michigamua braves on the warpath caused Student Gov- ernment Council to adjourn its meeting in the South Quad- rangle dining room.

The other seven proposals were discussed without coming to a vote. Stresses Need The need for the establishing of a committee of members of SGC to represent the Council in con- tacts with the Joint Judiciary Council was stressed by David Kessel, Grad., later in the meet- ing. The final motion as passed by the Council called for the com- mittee to be composed of the SGC executive vice-president and two others, one of which could be a member of the Interviewing and Nominating Committee. The Council also passed two other motions introduced by Sea- sonwein. One recommended the Student Relations Board consider the feasibility of setting up pro- grams to allow alumni to return to the campus to meet with mem- bers of the University. Seasonwein said that through the special classes and other scheduled acti- vities, better relations could be maintained. His other motion directed the. Summer Reading and Discussion Committee to look into the possi- bility of broadening its program to include incoming freshmen. 'State First Payday Wito Steel Groups To Consider P. NEW YORK (P)-The steel in- dustry disclosed yesterday it is considering a mutual aid pact to share profits if only some steel firms are closed down by a July 1 strike R. Conrad Cooper, chief spokes- man, for United States Steel Corp. and the entire industry in current wage talks with the Steelworkers Union, said the industry is work- ing on such a plan, even though hoping never to have to use it. The possibility 'of a partial rather than industry-wide union strike-if, there is no new agree- ment when presentncontracts run out June 30-was raised today by Iron Age, industry trade publica- tion: Suggests Tactics Saying it would take a miracle to avert a July 1 walkout, Iron Age suggested the union may try divide-and-conquer tactics by striking some companies to apply greater pressure on them while the rest of the industry was al- lowed to keep producing. But Cooper said the steelworkers always have operated on a no- contract no-work policy--shutting down all companies at once - whenever there has been a strike. Both he and David J. McDonald, Steelworkers president, empha- sized neither side was thinking in terms of a strike, either industry- wide or partial, but concentrating on reaching a peace pact ahead of the deadline. "We're, not a- strike-happy union," McDonald said. Otherwise thought he steered clear of dis- closing strategy should the union eventually decide to a walkout. The union never has liked to have some of its members bear the brunt of a strike while others en- joyed continued earnings. Watched Plan Cooper said the steel industry has watched the operation of a strike-aid plan adopted last fall by the nation's six major airlines when faced with a rash of strike. Cooper said the steel industry also has heard that railroads, fac- ing new labor 'contract negotia- tions next fall, are considering such a plan, too. In a joint news conference with McDonald, he went on to say: "Naturally, we try to keep abreast of developments in our field. Frankly, we have had some people looking into this area. But we have reached no conclusions. We don't take this too seriously." Cooper then said the industry was rather relying on the union tradition of complete strikes' and, anyway "all our hopes, our efforts are being directed to developing proper agreements through nego- -tiations and not through pressure." Discrimir (EDITOR'S NOTES: Following is the fifth in a series of seven articles discussing discrimination in frater- nities.) By THOMAS HAYDEN A pair of conflicting legal prin- ciples deepens the complexities of religious and racial discrimination in fraternities. One side holds that a fraternity is a "voluntary association" hav- ing certain rights.to select its- own membership. Opposed to this rule is the legal right of a state univer- sity to define the policies that World News Roundup - By The Associated Press TOKYO - Japan gave the cold shoulder today to a Soviet demand for neutrality, the latest move in the Communist campaign to win Asia's biggest industrial power away from the West, Prime Minister Nobusuke Kishi and Foreign Minister Aiichiro Fujiyama told a conference of pre-' fecture governors that Japan's security pact with the United States must be revised and reaf- firmed to safeguard the nation. * . .* WASHINGTON - Atty. Gen. William P. Rogers was pictured to- day as flatly opposed to repeal now of the constitutional ban on a President serving more than two terms. He will present this view to the Senate Judiciary Committee, which is considering a move to scrap the 22nd amendment. * * * TOKYO - Red China shut the door today to any negotiations with India or the United Nations on the future of Tibet. Peiping ruled out the possibility that the Himalayan kingdom might be turned into a Chinese or Indian protectorate, a joint- Chinese - Indian protectorate, "or a so-called buffer state between China and India." nation in Fraternities govern fraternal groups on their campuses.{ Both have been .justified in the courts. But neither is acceptable+ to all concerned. Only one recent case bears di- rectly on the problem. In 1953 the State University of New York at-r tempted to eliminate racial and religious discrimination from fra- ternity admissions practices on its 27 campuses. The school's trustees resolved that 'no social organization, in policy ors practice, shall operate under any rule which bars stu- dents on accouit of race, color,+ religion, creed, national origin or other artificial criteria." One fraternity, Sigma Tau Gamma, challenged the ruling and called for a court test. Upheld Trustees The federal court upheld the trustees, declaring in part, ". . . It is clear that the constitutionality: of the action taken here cannot be questioned. A state may adopt such measures, including the out- lawing of certain social organiza- tions, as it deems necessary to its duty or supervision and control of its educational institutions .. The United States Supreme Court sustained the decision on Nov. 8, 1954. Since that time, the issue has not been tested in court. However, friction at the universities of Wis- consin and Colorado may result in court action soon. Not First Instance The New York case did not mark the first instance that the problem had come up. As early as 1952, Prof. Harold W. Horowitz, of the University of Southern California law school, argued that fraternities at a state university could not discriminate' because of race or religion. "If an organization decided to discrim- mate on those grounds it would be free to do so, but it would.have to do so as an organization not officially recognized by the state university." he declared. "The unconstitutionality of the recognition by state universities or fraternities which discriminate on the basis of race, religion, creed or color, seems clear. Recognition of this conclusion will be a furt- er step toward achieving truly democratic education in state uni- versities." Defend Argument At the University, administra- tors have defended the fraterni- ties' "voluntary association" argu- ment. Frequently cited 'is the fol- lowing section of American Juris- prudence;.Associationsand-Clubs: "Clubs and societies, whether religious, literary or social, have the right t make their own rules upon the subject of the admission or expulsion of members, and these rules may be considered as articles of -agreement to which all who become members are parties. Accordingly, an association has the right. to prescribe the :rules and regulations defining the quali- fications of members, and may impose such terms andconditions upon membership, not contrary to law, as it may choose .." Others, however, call legality simply a surface issue. "Once the clauses are removed, everything would become legal," one local fraternity man said. His pronouncement brings up another, and more sensitive, dif- ficulty. Does the elimination of a clause eliminate the practice of discrimination? IIIC Heads Give Views By DAVID BLOOMGARDEN -Acting Inter-House Council President Boren Chertkov, 60, and his predecessor, Robert Ashton, '59, disagreed on validity of criti- cism drawn up by the Hinsdale House Council of East Quadrangle. Hinsdale House will present a petition criticizing the efiective- ness of IHC at tonight's meeting of the Council's Presidium. Wil- liam Anderson, '61, president of Hinsdale House, said a major "gripe" of his house concerned the lack of closeness between IHC and his group. Chertkov agreed with the criti- cism of this year's IHC. Moreover, he plans to suggest a revision .of the Council's constitution in .the area of student representation which would bring the resident and IHC closer. But Ashton considered Hins- dale's action "without basis and with little perspective of the resi- dence hall community." Instead of giving constructive criticism or trying to get- something accon- plished, they spend time making noise," he commented. Ashton also noted it's hard to explain to a sophomore house president why major changes can't come about in one semester. Such things as this (the Hinsdale peti- tion)sare inevitable in the present system, especially in residence halls where you have a rapid turn- over intstudent population. The Hinsdale petition also criti- cized IHC for its lack of service projects beneficial to Hinsdale House as a unit.I Michigam''ua Adds Braves To VU'Tribe When from out the paleface wigwam From behind the staring moonface Came the slow an4 solemn five booms Telling that the evening spirit Wanders over woods and meadows, Lights the campfires of the heavens, Then the Michigamua warriors In rheir feathers and their warpaint Soon with gather 'round the oak tree: 'Round the oak tree called the Employees To Face I Pay Governior, Republicans In Deadlock Checks Already Set For Paynent Today if 'Legislature Acts LANSING (R) - Nearly 26,000 state workers faced a payless pay- day today as Democratic Governor G.

Protest Action The revised policy also includes a year-long lease that can be broken if thestudent graduates or leaves the University. The association's steering com- mittee decided at its meeting yes- terday to continue its protest against the new policy. Joyce Conklin, secretary, said the group protests the administra- tion's action becau'se it will in- crease the financial burden to all students, instead of reducing it as was originally intended. "The administration also in- dicated they don't want any com- munication with us," she said. r The only notification given to the Association was in a "very last ' < minute and very informal way" by a telephone call to one of the members on the day the announce- ment of the change was sent to the newspapers, Mrs. Conklin ex- plained. Delegates Responsibility The principal complaint of the Association is that the obligationsj Ironicall , the state treasury had over 11,- million dollars on hand but Gov. Williams said obli- gations for welfare, school aid and debt service obligations must take precedence. The state's deficit is zooming toward an estimated 110 million dollars on June 30. The governor and Republican legislative leaders, deadlocked over a solution to the cash crisis, agreed that what Gov. Williams called a "disaster" was needless. They blamed each other. Michigan's first small scale pay- less payday hit lawmakers, judges and legislative staff members late last week when about $100,000 in wages and salaries were held up. Bill Calendared While the state sank deeper into a financial quagmire, a House- approved bill providing for an immediate 4, million dollar state treasury transfusion lay on the Senate calendar. Gov. Williams has insisted on its prompt passage and a solution On Floor The use tax bill was reported out of committee in the House this afternoon, Rep. Rollo G. Conlin (R-Tipton), chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, told the Daily last night. He indicated he doesnot ex- pect it to pass the House. It passed through the Committee, he said, "because the individu- als on' the Committee felt it should not be killed before it got to the floor of the HIouse." The opinion given yesterday by Attorney General Paul Adams that the bill was uncon- stitutional "merely substanti- ated my own opinion," Conlin said. He added that it is "in- adequate, tomeet our problem" on other grounds as well. of- the state's long rIn revenue problem separately and later on. GOP Senators, strongly oppos- ing the governor's proposal for a graduated personal income tax, have fought for an increase in the state sales tax. The sales tax bill would add 108 million dollars a year to 1959-60 state revenues, about 79 millions of it for general spending and the remainder to. restore a Veterans Trust Fund that- would be liqui- dated now to provide cash to meet the emergency. Sen. Frank D. Beadle of St. Clair, Republican majority leader, called the Republican program a "compromise."
