RussiaThreatens
Berlin Situation
Moscow Says West Avoiding Crisis;
Using City for Pawn i Cold War
LONDON (P) - Russia yesterday accused the Western powers
of avoidingda business-like settlement ofhthe Berlin crisis and threat-
ened to end its partial occupation of the divided city unilaterally.
"If the governments of the United States, Britain and Prance do
not wish to cooperate with the Soviet Union in solving this problem,
nothing remains for the Soviet government but to relieve itself of
the functions connected with maintaining the occupation regime in
Berlin," Moscow Radio said.
Mentions Agreement
The radio, broadcasting a summary of Tass sttaement on the
former German capital, added "a corresponding agreement" would
be concluded with the East Ger-

Approval
HAVANA (') - Cuba's rebels
indicated yesterday they intend
to set up a formal government in
the areas they control and push
for diplomatic recognition from
abroad.
The two-year-old rebellion has
had no formal government struc-
ture.
Eye Recognition
The rebels under Fidel Castro
may hope to achieve diplomatic
recognition from some nations,
possibly even Latin American
countries. Thismight give new
energy to the revolt, which has
grown steadily in strength in east-
ern Cuba the past year.
The rebel radio indicated its
intentions after announcing the
arrival in rebel-held territory of
Manuel Urrutia Lleo, who is Cas-
tro's appointee as President of
the rebellion.
Urrutia had been In exile, in
New York, Miami and Venezuela,
since he was removed from his
post as a magistrate in Oriente
Province because of his insistence
two years ago upon the right of
captured rebels to go free.
Refuse Mediation
The broadcast said the rebels
would accept no mediation, even
from the Organization of Ameri-
can States (OAS), to restore order
in Cuba. It complained that the
OAS had remained indifferent to
Cuban rebel aims all through the
two years of fighting.
"What the democratic coun-
tries can do is break diplomatic
and commercial relations (with
the government of President Ful-
gencio Batista) and recognize the
belligerency of the government of
the republic in arms, which is to
be represented by the President,
Dr. Manuel Urrutia Lleo."
Plan Meeting
With. Schaadt
Representatives of the Mosher
House Council will meet with
Leonard A. Schaadt, residence hall
business manager, today to resolve
the problems mentioned in yester-;
day's protest against administra-;
tive policies.
"We will deal with their prob-
lems immediately," Schaadt com-
mented. The survey committee
appointed Wednesday by the Resi-i
dence Hall's Services Committee'
will be used to examine the food
problems until they can be worked
out, he mentioned.
Appraising the protest, Schaadt
said that it "was sort of an im-
mature method of getting publicity'
for Mosher Hall."]

Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles is due to leave for the Paris
talks today despite an intestinal
inflammatiorn for which he entered
the hospital last Friday.
Last night, after study of the
Tass statement, the State Depart-
ment issued its reply accusing the
Soviets of striking a "note of
menace" and emphasizing that the
United States for its part "has
made no threats."
Frustration
Grip Talks
GENEVA (P) - A nightmaxe of
frustration yesterday gripped the
10-nation conference on preven-
tion of surprise attack,
Rulssian tempers flared after a
month's discussion in which East
and West have failed to agree
even on a plan of work.
Soviet delegates angrily accused
the West of trying to trick the
Communist bloc by Troj vi horse
tactics into accepting espionage
agents in the role of international
inspectors.
Across the table, the Westerners
denied it. Poker-faced, they re-
plied calmly.
It was a dramatic illustration
of the deadlock that has persist-
ed in milder form since the con-
ference opened in Geneva's Pal-
ace of Nations Wednesday.
Day after day the delegates
meet privately for an hour or two
in the rambling palace. And when
they finish they are right back to
the basic disagreemnt revealed in
their opening session.

Fratermty's
Adnittance
Interfraternity Council Presi-
dent John Gerber, '59, will seek
immediate colony status for Alpha
Kappa Lambda fraternity at
Wednesday's Student Government
Council meeting.
The decision, announced at last
night's Interfraternity Council
session is a "Positive step towards
eventual recognition" of the
group, according to Executive
Vice-President Thad Ketchum,
'59.
Without colony status, the
group is not allowed use of Uni-
versity facilities and is denied
sponsorship of social functions,
Ketchum explained.
In other business, Gerber re-
ported on a letter sent to the

of making a sober appraisal of
the implications of continued oc-
cupation.
Attempting Defense
"Faced with the necessity of re-
acting to the initiative of the So-
viet government, they are still at-
tempting to come out in defense
of the rights of the Western pow-
ers to the occupation of West Ber-
lin," it said. "These rights long
ago ceased to exist."
Tass accused the West of using
Berlin as a pawn in a game played
by cold war adventurers - an ob-
jective in the military plans of
NATO.
Tass assailed British Foreign
Secretary Selwyn Lloyd for his
declaration that Western troops
remain in Berlin by right of con-
quest following the unconditional
surrender of Germany.
"On what basis does the British
government hold the opinion that
Germany - where two sovereign
states have been in existence for
nearly a decade -- cannot get by
without occupation troops and
continues to require their guard-
ianship?" Tass asked.

Paper Asks Reversal
Of Board in Review
On Sorority Decision
By PHILIP MUNCK
Maynard Goldman, '59, Student
Government Council president, last
night released the Council's "e-
cret" brief to the University Re-
gents explaining its appeal of the
Sigma Kappa case.
The Council said it by-passed
University President Harlan Hat-
cher so the Regents could discuss
the appeal at the same time they
consider the resolution passed by
the Faculty Senate Monday.
Specificially the brief calls on
the Regents to reverse the Board
in Review and lift the stay of
action on the Council's withdrawal
of University recognition from
Sigma Kappa sorority.
Asks Review Board Reversal
The Faculty Senate's resolution
called the Board in Review's deci-
sion contrary to the educational
interests of the University and
called on the Regents to reverse
their (the Board's) ruling.,
It was reported to have passed
the Senate meeting by a vote of
two to one.
The Council brief-adopted in
a 3 -hour secret session Wednes-
day night-calls the issue a ques-
tion of the "nature and purpose of
student government" at the Uni-
versity.
It questions the right of the
administration to make "post hoo
declarations of policy," and says
that as the situation now stands
"an administrative declaration
that policy is otherwise "can re-
verse any council decision.
Prior Board Decision Listed
The brief points out that in 1956
the Board in Review ruled that
"the Council had acted clearly
within its jurisdiction and that it
had not contravened Regental
policy or administrative practice"
in finding Sigma Kappa in viola-
tion of the discrimination ruling of
1949.
The ruling requires all student
organizations recognized after that
date to have no discriminatory
clauses In their constitutions or
practices and maintain these two
conditions.
The Council's brief then ntates
that they believe the Regents in-
tended that, within its jurisdic-
tion, decisions "should be over
turned on the basis of declarations
by administrators in particular
cases."
AMight Consider Issue
SGC officers and members of the
administration expressed opinions
yesterday that the brief would not
be placed on the Regents agenda
although they might consider it
during the course of the meeting.
The Council directed Wednesday
that the brief not be released until
it had been placed on the agenda.
If action is not taken today by
the Regents it will be considered
in the January Regents meeting.

Random Survey Shows
es for Liberal Arts
By BARTON HUTHWAITE
More liberal education in the engineering school was described
as a "nice" but impractical thought during a random survey of
students yesterday.
NThe comments came after Murray D. Van Wagoner, '21, ex-
governor of Michigan and one of the nation's outstanding civil engi-
neers, sharply criticized American universities Wednesday for their
f.illt n ln A r lUUL. aWlUrUItn «

zanure to produce weir-rounded
engineers.
Students generally viewed the
possibility of extending the engi-
neering curriculum to include
more liberal arts courses as im-
practical.
Engineering students are now
required to elect only six hours
of non-technical szbjects during
their 140 hour program.
"It really presents a dilemma,"
Richard Selvala, '59E, said yester-
day. "Industry is crying we're not
getting enough technical training
and other such as Van Wagoner
cry we're not prepared for civic
responsbility," he continued.
In Agreement
Walter J. Emmons, associate
dean of engineering school and in
clbse contact with students, con-
firmed Selvala's( attitude. "You
can't convince many students they
should stay around and take extra
courses." Emmons said.
Emmons said he favored an op-
tional liberal-arts-engineering pro-
gram. My theory is that nobody
gets anything out of a course if
he is pushed into it, Emmons said.

AT UNION DISCUSSION:
Panel Lauds India as Symbol of World Peace

By RICHARD CONDON
A panel representing seven countries professed admiration last
night for India's attempt to set an example for both East and West
as a symbol of international peace, but the Indian neutrality policy
drew sharp criticism from several panel members.
The symposium given before a large, interested audience at the
Union was moderated by Prof. Robert Crane of the history depart-
ment.
Pacifico Albano Castro, Grad., of the Philippines pointed to India's
geographical location and said because it was close to the Eastern
bloc, it cannot afford to remain neutral. He also attacked its professed
doctrine of non-interference by mentioning the part India played in
the Nepal incident of 1951.
Views Apprehensive
"India," he said, "has also displayed designs toward Kenya and
Tanganyika." Castro views this neutral policy and the attempt to
create a third block of international powers apprehensively since
India is in no position to defend herself against aggression, he con-
tinued.
Shiv Dayal, Grad., of India, however, said India must follow a
