Pasternak Turns Down
Nobel Literature Prize,
STOCKHOLM (P)-Russian author Boris Pasternak turned down
the $41,420 Nobel Literature Prize yesterday.
The writer who dared criticize life under Communist rule has been
under almost ceaseless Soviet press attack since the prize was an-
nounced Saturday.
"Because of the meaning attributed to this award in the society I
live in I ought to say 'no, thanks' to the undeserved prize awarded me,"
he messaged. "Do not take my voluntary refusal with any ill will."

Committee To Consult 'U' Officials
On Siama Kappa Status Question
By THOMAS TURNER
Student Government Council and the administration agreed last
night to recommend to the SGC Board in Review that the stay of
action on SGC's Sigma Kappa decision finding the sorority in violation
of University rules be lifted.
This would leave the Council free to determine the status of
Sigma Kappa sorority on campus, subject to the Board in Review
The committee SOC had previously set up to present alternate courses
of action on the sorority is to consult with the administration, SGC

Seven University students were arraigned yesterday on charges of
engaging in football card gambling practices before Municipal Court
Judge Francis O'Brien, who released them on $150 bond.
The students stood mute and asked for jury trials. Under Michigan
law, the court automatically enters a plea of innocence for persons who
stand mute.
Trial Dates Set for November
Trial dates for Durward Collins. '59, and Nick Mitea, '60. were set
for Nov. 12. On Nov. 13 trials for Daily Associate Sports Editor Carl
Riseman, '59, Michael Dodgson, '59, and John Miller, '61E, will be held.

Schools Aim
For Status
As Universitv
MOUNT PLEASANT (P) - An
official of Central Michigan Col-
lege said yesterday the institution
is reorganizing internally, looking
toward the day when it will achieve
university status.
Judson W. Foust, vice-president
for general and academic adminis-
tration, said he understood a
similar move was in progress at
Eastern Michigan College, Ypsi-
lanti.
Foust said final decisions that
would bring about the change
have not yet been made.
No Discussion by Board
At Lansing, Lynn M. Bartlett,
State Superintendent of Public
Instruction, said there had been
no formal discussions of the mat-
ter by the State Board of Educa-
tion, which has supervision over
both schools and other higher
education instructions at Mar-
quette and Kalamazoo.
Bartlett is secretary of the state
board.
"Undoubtedly Central Michigan
and Eastern Michigan should
achieve university status sometime
or other," Bartlett said. "But as to'
when, I wouldn't care to comment
on that now."
Rep. Russell H. Strange. Jr. (R-
Clare) said he proposes to intro-
duce a bill on the Central Michigan
name change at the 1959 legisla-
ture.
Adds Vice-Presidents
Foust said the Mount Pleasant
institution recently added two
vice-presidents, making a total of
three, and upgraded directors of
five divisions to the rank of dean.
He said the on-campus enroll-
ment, which has been rising at the
rate ofd500 a year lately, has now
reached 4,500 including over 4.000f
full-time students. In addition,
there are about 2,000 off-campus
enrollees.
Foust said it was largely the
increase in the institution's size, a
wider offering of courses and a
gradually decreasing emphasis on
preparing teachers that led to
planning for possible university
status.
He said representatives of the
school had visited campuses in
Illinois, Ohio and other states
studying the organizational struc-
ture of schools which made similar
transitions.
Central Michigan now offers de-
grees in liberal arts, science, edu-
cation, business administration
and master of arts.
Soviets Ignore Book
- Pasternak's book was ignorea in
the Soviet Union after its comple-
tion in 1956. It was rejected for
publication there, but got into
print in the West and is being
widely read.
Not until the Nobel Literature
Committee announced last week
that Pasternak was its 1958 winner
was there any Soviet reaction.
Soviet newspapers charged that
the award was a Western trick to
fan the cold war, that political
implications were involved. The
Nobel Literature Committee was
denounced.
Physics Award 'Different'
Then the Nobel Physics award
was made Monday to three top
Soviet scientists whose achieve-
ments in nuclear physics has
swelled Soviet pride.
This award put the Russians in
an awkward position. Could they
denounce the literature prize and
accept proudly the physics prize?
The answer from Moscow yester-
day was "yes."
An article in the Communist
Party newspaper Pravda called the
physics award fitting because it
reflected the opinion of the scien-
tific world.
At the same time, the article de-
nounced Pasternak's award once
again as politically inspired.

"We're giving it the quiet treat-

said. "We don't want to make any

The spokesman said he believed

Goldman Cites Possibility
Of Different Council Role
By JUDITH DONER
It may be possible that the role of Student Government Counci
has taken a new direction. SOC President Maynard Goldman, '59
said during members' time at last night's Council meeting.
Urging that "defeatist attitudes are not profitable to any organiza
tion, particularly the one we are in," Goldman indicated that perhap
something profitable to all parties concerned could be worked out. H
was referring to the part the Council will play, providing that the
SOC Board In Review accepts the

tee's recommendation to remove
the Board's stay of action regard-
ing the Sigma Kappa issue. This
decision was rendered at a "joint;
discussion" preceding the regular
SGC meeting.
Commager To Speak
Henry Steele Commager, noted
historian, will be the Council-

nounced in his committee report.
Commager will speak at 4 p.m.
on Nov. 21 in Rackham Audi-
torium on the subject "National-
ism and the Great Community of
Culture."
A symposium of the Reading
and Discussion Group's summer
reading program concerning the
Twenties will be held on the eve-
ning of Nov. 15, Pat Marthenke,
co-chairman of the group, re-
ported.

department will lead a panel dis-
Scussion of several other professors
dealing with "The Pulsebeat ofj

Miss Marthenke said.
The Council approved the re-
calendaring of the IHC-Assembly
show scheduled for Saturday to
March 14. The Assembly Ball was'
dropped from the March date to
make room for the event.
Goldman read a letter from the
Foreign Student Leadership Pro-
ject (FLSP) that the Ford Foun-
dation had presented FSLP with
funds to continue its exchanges.
Prior consideration will be given
to schools such as the University
which now have FSLP programs,
the letter said.

Municipal home rule means iat
a city or village has authorityj
under the state constitution and
laws to draft and adopt a charter
for itself.I
This became an alternative to
the hand-me-down charters cities
had received from the Legislature
under general laws or by special
acts,
Adopt Own Charters
Home rule releases cities and
villages to exercise initiative. In
charter making, local commissions
elected by the voters play a part
similar to constitutional conven-
tions at the state level.
In Michigan more than 200
municipalities have adopted their
own charters, stimulating grass-
roots interest in self-government.
As in other industrial states,;
some of the once rural counties
in Michigan are being caught up
in the metropolitan tide.
In spite of this situation, at-
tempts to achieve home rule for
them have not succeeded. In 1934,
an initiated county home rule
amendment was defeated.

Students Debate Benefits of Anti-Union Legislation.
By RICHARD CONDON
A resolution calling for stricter governmental control of labor
unions, proposed by the Young Republicans and opposed by the Young
Democrats, last night was supported by the audience for acceptance
or rejection,
The first speaker for the Young Republicans, Alan O'Day, '82,
said, "The Republican party is interested in the working man and
wants to help him."
He said that unions practice discrimination, make little effort
to assist the cause of their members, and contribute to political par-
ties and campaigns.
O'Day supported his accusations by pointing to the high union
dues which "discriminate against Negroes." the "undemocratic poli-
cies exercised by the Teamsters Union," and the UAW-CIO official
endorsement of Adlai Stevenson, both in 1952 and 1956.
Kenneth Thomas. '61. sunnorted the accusations of his fellow
