To Examine Proposed'
Nu Sigma Nu Lease
By ROGER RAPOPORT
The University has agreed to
submit full details of' its plan to
build a house for Nu Sigma Nu
medical fraternity to the state
legislature.
The move sets the stage for an
investigation into the matter next
month by the House Higher Edu-
cation Subcommittee.
Rep. Jack Faxon (D-Detroit)
said following conversations with
University officials yesterday that
he was not concerned about the
possibility of the University serv-
ing as a tax shield for donations
to the fraternity building fund.
"What we are concerned about,"
said. Faxon "is the University's
departure from the traditional
principle of building housing
available to all students. For in
this case, admission to a Univer-
sity owned housing unit will be
on a privately-determined basis."
Faxon pointed out that this is the
first time a public Michigan Uni-
~, versity has built a fraternityI
house.
Never Provided Plans
"We are also concerned that the
University never provided us with
plans on this matter in the first
place."
Donations to the University-
owned fraternity building will be
tax deductible as educatiohal con-
tributions. This procedure has
been used to build a number of
fraternities at other schools acrossI
the country.
University officials pointed out
that the arrangement for the fra-
ternity house had been drawn inj
line with existing Internal Rev-
enue Service regulations fully
sanctioning such donor-University
arrangements.
Following his discussions with
Vice-President and Chief Financial:
Officer Wilbur Pierpont and Exe-
cutive Vice-President Marvin Nie- i
huss, Faxon said he was "confi-
dent this matter can be resolved
without serious misunderstand-
ing."
Clarification Offered
In a related- development, Uni-
versity Housing Director John:
Feldkamp offered a clarification
of the arrangement for construe- -
tion of the fraternity.I
Feldkamp indicated that he
views the plan as a method to
"further construction of student
housing with funds not normallyI
available to the University."

JAKARTA, INDONESIA-The prosecution Friday demanded
the death penalty for former Foreign Minister Subandrio,
charging he aided in the Communist-led coup attempt last year.
Winding up the state's case in the treason trial of President
Sukarno's onetime No. 2 man, the military court prosecutor made
the death demand at the end of a four-hour sum-up.
WASHINGTON -BECAUSE ENLISTMENTS and re-enlist-
ments are exceeding expectations, the Defense Department an-
nounced yesterday, the November draft quota has been reduced
from 43,700 men to 37,600-
The Pentagon announced also that 12,100 men will be in-
ducted in December, the lowest total since March 1965. In part,
this is attributable to a moratorium on inductions during the
Christmas season-from Dec. 16 to Jan. 1.
All the men drafted in November and December will go
into the Army.
The Defense Department said it anticipates that in January
it will ask Selective Service to induct about 33,500 men, based on
the average taken in the last six months.
STUDENT GOVERNMENT COUNCIL last night took pre-
liminary action to lessen the confusion regarding student organi-
zations' complaints about University policy. The Council pro-
posed two methods for challenging policies: an organization may
initiate discussion on its own by indicating its intent via a written
statement to the Council, or it may request the assistance of SGC
in filing is grievance.
In other business, a Committee on Rules and Regulations was
proposed. Its duties would be to familiarize organizations with
existing rules, review current regulations, and assume a general
policing function against violations by student organizations.
THE AD HOC COMMITTEE on the Disclosure Question will
issue its report Monday on the University's compliance with the
House Un-American Activities subpoena of Aug. 11. The report,
which represents over a month's study by the committee, will be
given at a Faculty Assembly meeting in the Rackham Amphi-
theater. The meeting will start at 3:30 and is open to all faculty
members. Copies of the report are being sent to Assembly mem-
bers today for arrival Monday.
TWO PUBLIC PROGRAMS will be held as part of the major
conference on the death-of-God theology to be held at the Uni-
versity Oct. 26-29.
Featured speakers will be two of the leading proponents of
radical theology. Thomas J.J. Altizer will speak on "The Kingdom
of God and Death of God" at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 27 in Michigan
Union Ballroom. William Hamilton will give a presentation of his
views, with a panel response, at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 28, in Rackham
Auditorium-
In addition to these two conference programs, "An Evangel-
ical Perspective of the Racial Theology" will be presented by
John Montgomery on Oct. 21 at 4:10 p.m. in the Multipurpose
Room of the Undergraduate Library.
WOODROW WILSON DISSERTATION fellowships have been
awarded to three University graduate students. They are RobertI

By RONALD KLEMPNER
The Fraternity Presidents' As-
sembly last night passed a reso-
lution supporting Student Gov-A.
ernment Council's draft referen-
dum to be held on Nov. 16. Theyz
also gave their support to the
S3GC proposal that the decision of
the referendum be binding on the
administration.
At last month's meeting the res-
olution met .with failure. Last
night the resolution passed only
after considerable debate.
The resolution was sponsored
by Nelson P. Lande, '67, of Zeta
Beta Tau. Much of the concern
of the fraternity presidents cen-
tered on the fear that the reso-
lution would be partisan in re-
gards to the decision made in the
voting itself. Dick Van House, '67,
president of the Interfraternityf
Council, said, "I feel that I can
express for the members of the
FPA a continuing concern that
partisanism in political issues be
avoided."

Human Virus
Cause of Leuk

An ultra - microscopic organism
containing a pearl-like string of
dark DNA bodies may be the cause
of human leukemia.
Dr. William H. Murphy of the
Medical School's Department of
Microbiology is trying to find evi-
dence that the villainous agent in
human leukemia is a virus.
Leukemia is a blood cancer di-
sease characterized by abnormal
numbers of leucocytes, or white
blood cells, in the blood steam. The
