A unanimous decision to withdraw was announced at a din- ner meeting of chapter alumni in Los Angeles by chapter presi- dent Brock Gowdy, a political science major from Glencoe, Ill. "We have sought to resolve the discrimination question ever since we were suspended by the national in April, 1965," Gowdy said. "We now realize this isn't possible." The chapter was suspended for one year after extending bids to several Negro students. It was reinstated on strict proba- tion this year after the national was told that the one Negro student who had accepted a bid was no longer eligible for mem- bership. In recent years, Sigma Chi chapters at Brown, Columbia, Cornell, and Lafayette have withdrawn from the national in disputes over racial policies. PROF. RICHARD SOLOMON of the University told the McGill University Conference on World Affairs yesterday that China has serious internal troubles related to the necessity of changing the familiar pattern of family loyalties to state and party affiilations. The leaders had to utilize all instruments at their command, including the Red Guards movement, to In- stitute the change, he asserted. "This is understandably a very great undertaking since loyalty to the family has been a concept of Chinese thought for thousands of years," he said. * * * * THE MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS recently ruled that q the University can be sued for damages. The court reversed a summary dismissal of plaintiff Joyce Branum's damage suit against the Board of Regents. Miss$ Branum was struck by a University-owned vehicle in 1963. Her husband sued for medical costs and the loss of her companion- ship. The University asked dismissal of the suit contending that as a governing body, the Board of Regents is immune from suits. "The Supreme Court of the State of Michigan has ruled that the judicial doctrine of governmental immunity no longer exists in Michigan," the Appeals court said. "The University of Michi- gan is an independent branch of the government of the state, but it is not island . . . there is no reason to allow the Regents to use their independence to thwart the clearly established public ti policy of the people of Michigan. The case was sent back to the Court of Claims for action on its merits. RUSSELL H. FIFIELD and Robert E.

The University has always had a close relationship with the corps. It was on the steps of the Union that President John F. Kennedy; structure when they joined the corps. Yet, the training consisted many lectures given by scholarly acade- micians who proved out of touch with the realities of life in foreign countries, and had diffculty un- derstanding the situations young Americans in the corps would be in. But training and recruitment are slowly changing.

The largest projects in Viet Nam are in fighting zones, so the Mekong project is going more slowly there." Schaaf cited the Plaine des Joncs, a marshland in Cambodia and Vietnam,'as an example of this retardation. He pointed out that the engineers want to drain and reclaim the land, but they can't get in because it is a Viet Cong stronghold. There have been few terrorist attacks on project workers because the engineers cannot penetrate the war zone where the work needs to be done," Schaaf added. Twenty-one Asian and European countries are cooperating in the project. The largest source of cap- ital comes from the four Mekong Delta countries themselves. These four countries have raised one- third of the $115,000,000 pledged to the project.

The report will "present our conversation and observations here along with factual data," Greene said. (The Daily previously reported that "the report ... has been sent, along with the recommendations made available yesterday, to the office of the secretary of defense, which originally requested the study.") Niehuss indicated yesterday that the University is generally in agreement with the Defense De- partment's recommenadtions. "I think they did a good job of list- ing the specific goals that we have been working toward for a long time," he said. Negro Faculty Among other things, the report urged the appointment of Negro faculty members to University pol- icy-making committees, creation of an office of equal opportunity re- porting to President Hatcher, in-
