Scheduled to depart Nov. 25, Stirton was granted the leave by the
Board of Regents yesterday after the request for his participation came
from the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE).
The ASEE has signed a contract with the International Coopera-

Pred Merrill, '59, announced his
candidacy for Administrative Vice-
President. Jo Hardee, '60, who now
holds the post, did not announce
her intentions.
The only major business trans-
acted before the new candidates
Joined the Council was the report
of the Student Activities Commit-
tee on the "alleged publicity viola-
tion" concerning Operation Wake-
up a week ago
Approves Recommendation
The Council approved a recom-
mendation from the committee
that the case be referred to Joint
Judiciary Council. The Union and
Wolverine Club, sponsors of the
dance, were not directly named.
Operation Wakeup coincided
with the Panhellenic Ball. It was
approved by SOC with the under-
standing that publicity prepared
after that time would stress the
pep-rally half and would avoid
mention of the dance afterwards.
The Student Activities Commit-
tee reported the publicity had
violated this, agreement, and had
come out before approval and in-
cluded handbills, both against
University rules
Spe akin for the action, Inter
House Council President Bob Ash-
ton, '59, sad the Council must put
teeth into its calendaring pro-
cedures somehow and this seemed
like a good way.
SOC turned down a second mo-
tion from the SAC, which would
have required groups seeking ap-
proval of an event less than two
weeks ahead to forfeit 10 per cent
of the sum of profits and expendi-
tures.

The group will remain in India
for a period of six weeks to two
months, with headquarters in New
Delhi.
The establishment of the insti-
tute is part of an agreement made
by the United States and other
nations with India to aid in im-
proving its 67 engineering colleges,
Stirton said.
Other nations have already be-
gun setting up institutes, creating
an "emergency" situation in which
the United States must act, he
added.
Will Not Interfere
The Indian government re-
quested that one member of the
team of six be a president or vice-
president of a university having a
college of engineering. Stirton will
administratively lead the group.
Other participants will include
deans and professors of engineer-
ing schools in the nation.
Stirton said the timing of the
trip should not interfere with his
activities at the University, be-
cause legislative action on both
the' University budget and on
funds for the Dearborn Center are
not likely to begin before he re-
turns.
He cited the split of 55 Repub-
'licans and 55 Democrats in the
House as the reason for the delay.
The report of the study group,
is due on Jan. 1.
An Editorial...
STUDENT Government Council Board in Review i
meeting this morning.
Ostensibly, the meeting is set to determine the fat(
of Sigma Kappa sorority. Actually it will go a long wa
toward determining the status of SGC.
In fact, according to the Council Plan, the Boar
cannot legally consider whether or not recognitior
should be withdrawn from Sigma Kappa. It can only re
verse the Council decision, if the decision is in conflic
with regental, Joint Judiciary, or administrative policy
or practice.
And this is where the problem lies.
The administration has insisted until now tha
its policy on this issue is "Sigma Kappa sorority is no
in violation of University regulations." We have sai
before, if this is a representation of policy,. studen
government never had any power in this area at all. I
SGC only had power as long as it agreed with the ad-
ministration, it is difficult to see why the Council wa
ever given any, even on paper.
And policy usually means a broad general outlook
which provides the framework for judging specific cases
However, the administration is reversing the process
and if it continues op its present course, the first fouo
years of administrative faith in student governmeni
will be shown to be merely pretense.
The new era of student responsibility, represented
by a showplace building for student leaders will have
suddenly ended. SGC will be a great experiment tha
failed;- failed because it lacked the necessary elemen
of real administrative faith in students' ability to think
and act for themselves.
Today the Board in Review meets, We hope that the
Board will show that all those grand promises were mor
than just words.

Deposit To Be Asked of New Students
An enrollment fee of $50, to be

ATO $100
The Executive Committee of the
Interfraternity Council voted
Thursday to fine Alpha Tau Ome-
ga fraternity $100 with $50 sus-
pended for allowing women to
assist in their rushing program.
According to John Gerber, '59,
president of IFC, a sorority had
serenaded the fraternity while
rushees were in the house.l
"Serenading between the two
houses is traditional," Murray
Milne, '59, the fraternity's presi-
dent said. "No one ever asked the1
sorority to come over that night."
Since the sorority was not aware
that serenading was in violation
of rushing procedure, the Com-
mittee felt that a $100 fine with
$50 suspended was sufficient.

tails of the program to be worked

'Firm Up' Policy
The purpose of the enrollment
deposit is to "firm up" at an
earlier date, those accepted stu-
dents who really plan to attend
the University, Vice-President for
Student Affairs James A. Lewis
said.
All freshmen and first-year un-
dergraduate transfer students, ex-
cept those sponsored students or
foreign students, will be required
to pay the fee, he added.
Whether the fee will be re-
fundable or not hasn't been de-
termined, Lewis said, but the
Board of Admissions may decide
that special conditions, such as
being drafted into the armed
forces or illness within the ap-
plicant's family, will warrant' a
refund.
Policy Will Help
The plan was initially accepted
by the Deans' Conference in Sep-
tember and then turned over to a
subcommittee of deans and Clyde
Vroman, director of admissions,
for further work.
Previous to Regents' acceptance
of the plan, Vroman said the de-
posit would "help materially'

Appontment of two assistant
deans, in the architecture school
and engineering college, was in-
cluded in University Regents ac-
tion yesterday.
Prof. Herbert Johe, 54 years old,
currently assistant to the dean of
the architecture school, was ele-
vated to the post of assistant dean.
Arlen R. Hellwarth was appointed'
to the corresponding post in the
engineering college.
Previous Faculty Member
Prof. Johe, a faculty member
since 1947, served previously as an
instructor in architecture at North
Dakota Agricultural College. He
received his master's degree in
architecture from Carnegie Insti-
tute of Technology in 1940.
Hellwarth, 55 years old, was at
the same time named associate
professor of engineering and col-
lege secretary. He will replace
Dean Walter Emmons, who is re-
tiring June 30, 1959.
Worked in Detroit
Hellwarth, who received his
bachelor's and master's degrees
here, has been associated with a
Detroit firm for the past ten years.
The Regents also appointed
Charles W. Cares, 40 years old;
associate professor of landscape
architecture. Prof. Cares has been
on the Cornell University faculty
since 1951, where is is presently
a member of the department of
floriculture and ornamental horti-
culture.
He was also responsible for the

Magidoff, Dunham Cite Pasternak's View
'S
By PHILIP MUNCK
"Pasternak now lies in the loneliness of undefeated truth--his eyes
still alive to the wonder of life and of a blade of grass," Robert
Magidoff of the Slavic languages department said yesterday.
Speaking with Prof. Vera Dunham, of the Wayne State University
Russian literature department, on "An Evening with Pasternak,"
Magidoff described the influence that Pasternak has in Russia even
today.
Prof. Dunham said his desire to stay in the Soviet Union is not
unusual considering that he once wrote, "I am linked to Russia by
birth, life and my work .. , departure is equivalent to death for me."
Pasternak's heresy, she and Magi
doff said, comes from his criticism There is not, Magidoffsaid,
