Con erence By JAMES SEDER, JEAN HARTWIG AND BRUCE COLE The Student-Faculty Administration Conference, held yesterday in the Union, discussed the future of Student Government Council, the role academics and activities should play in the University and the University's admission policies. Several of the students at the discussion "Academics versus Activi- ties" called for leadership by faculty. "We are asking for leadership, not from the administration, but from the faculty," explained Allan Stillwagon, '59, of Joint Judiciary Council. He said that the faculty should guide the student in his studies and also express themselves about campus issues. Daily Editor Richard Taub, '59, chairman of the discussion, criticized paternalism on the part of the University toward the students. Many of the students made the point that there was "a great difference between guidance and paternalism." Academics "Unquestionably" More Important Assistant Dean of Men John Bingley said that he tells his Great Books classes that he is always available to them, but that only one or two a semester come to see him, and "they usually come during the last week of the semester to ask for a 'B'." Prof. Robert Angell, director of the Honors Council, suggested that, although activities have some value, academics are "unquestion- Views Stu dent- University Relation that the Board in Review was 'loaded' with deans ably" more important.

Stillwagon then suggested that if that were the case definite delimitation of SGC's powers might confine it along too they might be better off "with a scholarly reading of Dale Carnegie." narrow lines of action. Activities "Seduce" Freshmen James A. Lewis, Vice-President for Student Affairs, speaking on Prof. Angell said that Freshmen might be "seduced" into joining the recent Sigma Kappa decision, expressed his surprise that "the activities by suggestions that they will "meet people and become issue would mean the end of student government, when we knew important people on campus." sooner or later somebody would question SGC's power."

Student Government Council's limits and jurisdiction, the position Prof. George Piranian of the mathematics department explained "the fact historical accident. The faculty members were appointed to the Board then became deans." Adding to the comment of Prof. Charles F.

Scott Chrysler, '59BAd, concluded the discussion by commentin that "to just quit" is acknowledging there are only checks and n balances in student government." The third group dealt with the admissions policy of the University The first part of this discussion considered the difference in educe tional and admissions standards between different types of state supported institutions. Schools such as Ohio State University must accept all applicant with a high school diploma, whereas the University has a selectiv admissions policy. It was decided by the group that the admission standards shoul remain about the same as they are now and that the ratio of in-stab See STUDENTS, page 5 ,{ LIBERAL EDUCATION: HOW IT HAS FAILED See Page 4 Ci r Sixty-Eight Years of Editorial Freedom A6V :43 a t I ^ PARTLY CLOUDY, COLD VOL.

The end of the Army's space shoot at the sun and the moon was expected about 5:15 p.m. EST today over northwest Africa in the general vicinity of Timbuktu. The rocket never got up quite enough speed to escape earth's gravitational field, approach and report on the moon and soar into far space. It did not even equal the 71,300 mile distance achieved by the Air Force Pioneer launched Oct. 11. Space officials nevertheless termed it far from a failure, saying in- West May Berlin's Vote 1i Decide City's oday uture Russian Plan Called Issue In Election Communist Party Seeks Admission - To Parliament Bloc t formation about the mysterious and deadly zone of radiation sur- rounding the earth would be highly valuable. At 9 p.m. EST, some 20 hours after a thrilling blastoff of Pioneer III from Cape Canaveral at 12:45 a.m. yesterday morning, the Na- tional Aeronautics and Space Ad- ministration plotted the gold- washed package of instruments as turning back earthwards from about 65,000 miles out in space. The final blaze of the man-made meteor as it falls back into the earth's atmosphere and is con- sumed in the air, should be visible for 100 miles, scientists said.

WOLFGANG LARRAZABAL ... favored candidate Venezuelan Election Set For Toda CARACAS, Venezuela ()-Rear Admiral Wolfgang Larrazabal was ranked a slight favorite yesterday in a three-man race for the presi- dency today in Venezuela's first free election in 10 years. The 47-year-old admiral, who led the junta which overthrew dictator General Marcos Perez Jimenez in January, is running with Communist support that he did not openly seek -- or re- nounce. He faces a tough fight against two staunch anti-Communists - Romulo Betancourt, 50, a veteran radical who fled into exile when Perez Jimenez seized dictatorial power in 1948, and Rafael Cal- dera, 42, leader of the strongly Catholic Christian Socialists. Whatever the outcome, Vene- zuela is assured of a government to the left, since there is no con- servative right-wing party in the country. Women could decide the elec- tion. With 2,913,801 voters eligible, there are 132,285 more women' registered than men. All three presidential candidates directed appeals to women. The voters, in addition to choos- ing a president, will elect a con- gress of 144 deputies and 46 sena- tors and municipal officers. Geneva Nuclear Discussion Approves Test Ban Section GENEVA (Am)-The United States, Britain and Russia yesterday approved the first article of a treaty to prohibit nuclear tests. They agreed to leave the treaty-when and if completed-open for signature by any country. Agreement on the treaty's article was the first concrete achieve- ment since the three-nation conference on controlled suspension of nuclear tests opened Oct. 31.

Tennessee left no doubt as to its supremacy over Wyoming in the championship game of the four- team meet. The Volunteers sound- ly spanked their Western oppo- nents, 90-69, just four days after barely edging the Cowbys, 72-71, in the season opener for each. Tennessee burned its way into the title battle by beating Michi- gan, 80-66, Friday night, while Kent took a 75-67 loss to Wyo- ming.

Mitchell, '60, was fined $5.00 yesterday for putting a all signatory nations to prohibit nuclear weapons tests. The article has no legal validity until the whole treaty is drawn and ratified by the three governments. Ahead of the negotiators is a much higher jump-agreement on an international control system to prevent violations of the ban. The text of the agreed article was not made public under an accord between the three powers to publish only the complete treaty draft. Western sources said the word- ing of the article clearly estab- lished the right of all countries to subscribe to the treaty. This was considered a conces- sion by Russia's Semyon Tsarap- kin. Bucket Drive Passes Goal Galens Bucket Drive will prob- ably go over its $7,000 goal, Rob- ert Gove, '59M, chairman of the drive, announced yesterday. About $6,500 has been collected in the buckets set up around the campus Friday and yesterday. The remaining amounts will come through mail subscriptions, Gove said. The money will be used to pro- vide Christmas gifts for children at University Hospital.
