Panhel
Views Creation
of Membership Committee
By CAROLE KAPLAN
For the past few weeks, Pan-
hellenic Association has been de-
bating the possibility of a Pan-
hellenic membership committee,
similar in function to the present
Interfraternity Council member-
ship committee, which would work
toward the elimination of racial
and religious discrimination in the
University sorority system.
In 1959, the Regents passed
their bylaw 2.14, stating that the
University would not discriminate
against any person on the basis
of race, religion, creed, color, na-
tional origin, or ancestry. In 1960,
Student Government Council pass-
ed a comparable regulation per-
taining to student organizations,
and set up the SGC membership
committee to enforce it.

Hoppe said that, despite these
obvious advantages, the operation
of the IFC membership commit-

the fraternity system and a split
in the Fraternity Presidents' As-
sociation.
He expressed the belief that
Panhel's chances of forming such
a committee are slim. I-e describ-
ed sorority nationals as "living in
the Civil War era," and said that
University sororities "will be lucky
if they get away with it." He add-
ed that he thinks the University
sorority system is bound to lose a
few houses if a Panhel member-
ship committee is formed, but said,
"On the whole, they'd be better
off that way than they are now."
Hoppe felt that despite anti-
discriminatory pressure from re-
gents and administrators, the Uni-
versity will never try to alienate
nationals, to prevent a blackball
or to try to eliminate alumni par-
ticipation.
This statement was confirmed
by John Feldkamp, assistant to the
vice-president for student affairs,
at the Panhellenic meeting Tues-
day night. Feldkamp expressed
strong approval of alumni parti-
cipation, and said that the Uni-
versity's conflict with sorority na-
tionals is on two issues:

The student driver regulations board will meet this morning
to receive the findings of University professors on the distribu-
tion, use and safety of motorcycles on the campus.
The research of the professors will be used by the board in
drawing up a technically worded plan for the regulation of cycles

The faculty planning committee of the residential college
is currently deciding problems of rcurriculum for the proposed
college, Burton D. Thuma, director of the residential college,
said yesterday. The committee recently approved the idea of
trying out an experimental "logic and language" course in the
pilot project next year. This course, which may be used in the
residential college curriculum; will be operated similarly to the
intensive language course and the freshman seminar now being
offered in the pilot project.

A new student-faculty group which believes that the academic
community must defend "the right of free speech for political
dissenters against the possible latent re-institution of McCarthy-
ism" is currently forming on campus. The organization will meet
Sunday evening in Rm. 3B of the Union at 7 p.m. to hear Ernest
Mazey, director of the Michigan branch of the American Civil
Liberties Union, speak on "Student Dissent, Government Policies
and Civil Liberties." A discussion period will follow the lecture.
The organization's membership includes both those who support
and those who oppose the administration's policies in Viet Nam.

Applications from students interested in attending Tuskegee
Institute in Alabama as part of the interinstitutional exchange
program established in 1963 are now being accepted by the Office
of Student Affairs. Forms may be obtained in Rm. 1011 SAB and
must be completed and returned by Nov. 15.
Reports that the undergraduate Asian Studies course was
being dropped were emphatically denied yesterday ' by Asst.
Prof. Aram Yengoyan of the Anthropology Dept., this semester's
coordinator of the Asian Studies course. Yengoyan said he had
heard several of these rumors; but that they had no basis and
the course will continue to be offered.

Six volunteers and two Washington staff members of the
Peace Corps will speak to classes and housing units next week.
A booth to be maintained in the lower lobby of the Union during
the week will open Monday. The Peace Corps delegation wants
"to make students aware of what Peace Corps is," said Mildred
Webber, Peace Corps liason with the University. The University
ranks fourth in the number of volunteers furnished the Peace
Corps since its inception, having supplied 156 volunteers.
Long Distance
At Stanford University there is a "docile battle" over which
side in Viet Nam should receive blood.
The pro U.S. Viet Nam policy group has blood pledges for
American and South Vietnamese troops and for civilians.
The group against U.S. policy in Viet Nam-has pledges and
money collected for civilian victims of American bombings in
both North Viet Nam and South Viet Nam under Communist
Viet Cong control. Said Brube Franklin, assistant professor of
English, "Americans should think of the North Vietnamese first
as people defending their nation from outsiders, and as Com-
munists second."

Student Vote
On Poll Set
Petition Brought by
Hornberger Changes
First Council Plans
By HARRIET DEUTCH
Student Government Council
last night abandoned its original
intention of running a student
preference poll on specificaalter-
natives in Viet Nam in favor of
an unqualified yes-no vote on
whether or not, "the student body
of the University of Michigan is
in basic agreement with the ad-
ministration's policy on Viet
Nam."
The new motion was sponsored
by Lee Hornberger, '65, who col-
lected 1000 signatures in order to
call for a referendum on Viet
Nam in the Nov. 17 SGC election.
Hornberger initiated the referen-
dum because "the image of the
University of Michigan student is
such that many people think of
us all burning our draft cards and
demonstrating civil disobedience."
He introduced the referendum
because, "firstly, many people
worked hard in getting the signa-
tures and Ifelt that I did not
have the right to withh6ld them.
Secondly, my goal was not to ini-
tiate a poll but to pass a legisla-
tive motion that would be passed
by the student body."
Several Council members felt
that the referendum is, badly
worded and that it would not delve
into student opinion.
Christopher Mansfield, '66, felt
that "an opinion poll would be
much more educational and much
more revealing." Mansfield moved
to officially record that "SGC ob-
jects to the consideration due to
the unqualified commitment nes-
essarily connected with a vote
either way on this referendum.
SGC shall subsequently present re-
sults through either a responsible
student opinion poll, by a pro-
fessional organization or other al-
ternative methods." This motion
was passed.
Due to regulations and parli-
mentary procedure, the Council
members were powerless to omit
the referendum from the ballot
or to even change its wording.
Because of the 1,000 signatures,
they could only vote "yes" for the
motion which would mean that
SGC, speaking on behalf of the
student body is in basic agreement
with the Administration's policy;
or they could vote "no"~ which
would mean that the referendum
would then go on the ballot for
the students to vote on.
However, the council "refused
to consider it." Thus, if they do
.not reconsider it by next week,
the referendum will go on the
ballot automatically.

to keep it off the ballot by voting
