Congo Army Leader
Asks UN To Leave
Mobuto Demands United Nations
:Remove Forces of Ghana, Guinea
LEOPOLDVILLE, The Congo (P)-Col. Joseph Mobutu, Congo
Army strongman, said last night he has demanded removal of United
Nations troops of Ghana and Guinea from the Congo.
He accused the troops of the two African countries of meddling
in Cogo internal affairs.
The British-officered Ghana troops had been regarded as among
the best disciplined in the UN fores. The Guinea troops, from a
former French colony now playing along with the Soviet Union, had'
been considered less staple members of the UN setup.
A predecessor of Mobutu in power, Patrice Lumumba, several
times asked for removal of non-African troops, especially the Swedish

Arrest Three

City police arrested Brad Myers,
'61 former University football
halfback, Gerald Kolb, '62, varsity
hockey player under an athletic
scholarship, and Richard A. Buck,
'61, early yesterday morning for
allegedly stealing dishes from the

kitchen of the V.F.W. Hall at

Dag Hammarskjold who were the

Mobutu gave no explanation of
the charged interference, but it
is believed that the Guinea diplo-
matic mission, aided by Guinean
troops, hid deposed Premier Lum-
umba for two nights while Congo-
lese army troops sought to arrest
him.
Support Lumumba
The Guinea mission has sup-
ported Lumumba from the start of
the Congo's political struggle and
at one point threatened to with-
draw its troops from the UN Con-
go command.
Ghana troops have been guard-
ing' Lumumba in his official resi-
dence since he came out of hiding
last weekend and have frustrated
Mobutu in his efforts to take the
former premier into custody.
Charges Plot
A factional spokesman charged
at a news conference earlier that
Ghana and Guinea were involved
in a plot to restore Lumumba to
power. Edouard Mavindi, a spokes-
man for Albert Kalonji, leader of
the so-called mineral state in Kas-
sai province, demanded that UN
troops and the missions of the two
countries be expelled from the
Congo.

troops from Ghana and Guinea.
He said Kasavubu has been "neu-
tralized and thus could not sign."
When the army chief of staff
seized control last week he an-
nounced he was neutralizing the
nation's politicians.
Mobutu said the problem of
Ghana and Guinea is one between
him and the two countries, not
between hin and the United Na-
tions.
He said his relations with the
United Nations have been excel-
lent. ..

SGC Votes
New Policy
On Petitions
By PHILIP SHERMAN
Student Government Council
last night adopted rules for its
Fall election, scheduled for Nov.
8 and 9.
The Council also named Jean
Hartwig, '61, and Walter Faggatt,
Grad., to the Committee on Refer-
ral.
The Council made several
changes in the draft election rules.
These were presented by Richard
G'Sell, '62, chairman of the coun-
cil's elections committee.;
Prospective candidates must;
submit petitions containing sig-
natures of 250 registered students.
This includes incumbents. The
Council turned down the commit-
tee proposal that each candidate's
signatures had to appear on only
his own petition. Duplicates would
have been disqualified, necessitat-
ing new names on the petitions.
Rejects Proposals
The Council rejected a proposal
by William Warnock, '61, BAd.,
that no signatures be required.
Warnock argued they are only a
bother, for most candidates can
collect enough within their resi-
dence units, and need not cir-
culate them around the campus.
Later the Council partially an-
swered this, in the members' view,
by raising the required number
of signatures from 100, the com-
mitte proposal, to 250.
Daily editor Thomas Hayden,
'61, supported petitions as a means
to gain acceptance and publicity
for the Council among the student
body. However, he rejected the
pro-petition argument that peti-
tions help to create a political
base for candidates.
Discourages Candidates
Roger Seasonwein, '61, charged
that petitions tend to discourage
candidates. He added that the
election is a more suitable test
for a candidate than mere collec-
tion of names.
Hayden thought arguments that
petition circulation would not have
any public relations effect on the
campus "implies that anything we
do when we run is futile ... " un-
less there is inappropriate sen-
sationalism.
The Council set a $25 limit on
campaign expenditures, but re-
jected a committee proposal to
repay winning candidates two-
thirds of their expenses.
Hayden Speaks
Hayden asked that all candi-
dates be given the rebate, but was
voted down. Seasonwein then
asked total deletion of the clause
from the rules, as "the body is
against giving out ante."

.CHALLENGE speaker

TalrHere
For Speech
On Freedom,
By RUTH EVENHUIS
Harold Taylor, President Emeri-
tus of Sarah Lawrence College,
will speak at 8:00 p.m. today in
Rackham Aud. at the first CHAL-
LENGE session.
His topic, under the CHAL-
LENGE general subject "The
Challenge of American Civil Liber-
ties," is "Freedom in America."
His speech will include discus-
sion of freedom of expression in
the United States, particularly
as it was affected by the .Mc-
Carthy period, the problem of the
American Negro, and in general,
a summing up of the forces at
work in the U.S. which Inhibit the
freedom of individual citizens.
Taylor will also comment on
the rote of students in acting on
political and social issues.
Appointed to the Presidency of
Sarah Lawrence at the age of
30, Taylor served for 19 years
before retiring in 1959 to teach
and write.
An editor and teacher of philos-
ophy, he is the author of more
than 200 articles in books and
journals of philosophy and edu-
cation. His major work to date is
entitled "On Education and Free-
dom."
Coupling an interest in experi-
mental education with social acs
tion, Taylor fought for academic
freedom during the McCarthy
period and has been active in
combatting racial and religious
intolerance.
Last year, under a special grant
from the Ford Foundation, he
conferred with leaders in Asia
and Russia o nthe problems of
the Asian countries. Since his re-
turn, Taylor has been lecturing at
colleges and universities and writ-
ing a book on liberalism and mod-
ern education.

By ANDREW HAWLEY
Academic freedom as it exists
in the United States and most
Western European countries is
something of basic importance,
affecting the very character of
civilization, but is sometimes used
as a cloak by professors to cover
up laziness-a reluctance to deal
with new ideas, and an excuse
for holding opinions .they have
not worked for and cannot justi-
fy, Luther Evans, former director-
general of UNESCO, said last
night.
Evans spoke to the graduate
school Convocation on "Some Re-
flections of a Graduate Student,"
and touched on several difficul-,
ties and responsibilities which he
considered important to the field
of graduate work and vital to the
well being of civilization.
"If I were a university president
I would get in hot water very
soon," he said, "because I would
tell some of the professors to get
to work and to test their ideas
against the work of great men in
the field."
Narrow Base
"To me, after being abroad for
so many years and visiting politi-
cians in 75 countries, it is fright-
ening to see how narrow a total
cultural base we have at the base
of knowledge in this country," he
went on.
He called for a broader per-

of an area in which "a good deal
is going on that can have great
importance, but they are neglect-
ed in research by governmental
and private foundations. "Too
much research is aimed at the
production of hardware," he said.
He also alluded to the import-
ance of knowing at least one for-
eign language, in order to under-
stand our own culture, and throw
light on our language and the way
it fits the world pattern of lan-
guages. "Americans generally
don't know as well as foreigners
the great literature in their own'
field," he added.
Asks Understanding
Evans emphasized the urgency
for understanding how culture is
transmitted and changed - what
kinds of happenings in the cul-
tural setting will destroy culture
or throw it into degeneration.
"This is going on on a tremen-
dous scale now," he said. "Farm-
ing communities, particularly in
backward countries, where the
industrial revolution is making a
fast, hard impact on the exist-
ing culture, are undergoing great
pain and hardship."
"How can we prevent disrup-
tion in tribal cultures, as is hap-
pening now in Africa? When we

tional framework, the structure

pointing out that it . often looks
different with respect to the back-

Our economists cannot explain
economic phenomena in the Far

"The major premises controlling
our thinking are often wrong."

President Dwight D. Eisenhow-

The Congolese "patriots," the% Belgian "imperialists," and the

Last night the Student Govern-

proposed by Roger Seasonwein,
'61, requesting that a letter be
sent to all student organizations
publicizing the Oct. 11 perform-
ance of the play "Which Way the
Wind."
Based on a world peace theme,
the play is being sponsored by
the American Friends Service'
Committee in conjunction with
various campus organizations.
Pressing Question
The motion stated that al-
though the Council's position was
one of neither agreement or dis-
agreement with the views ex-
pressed in the play, it wished to
call the event to the student's at-
tention in that it involved a press-
ing question.
Jon Trost, '61, opposed the mo-
tion arguing that supporting an
event in addition to calendaring
it puts SGC in a position of tell-
ing the student what is good for
him."
"In that the Council is not
omniscent," he continued, "such
support is not its function."
Seasonwein drew a distinction
between telling and suggesting,

adding that such a letter merely
lets the student know that there
is an option.
Morten Opposes
Also opposing the motion, Un-
ion President Perry Morton, '61,
objected to the possible establish-
ment of a precedent of "support-
ing at random,"
He stated that organizations
should publicize their own events,
and that SGC interference in in-
dividual instances implies the
necessity of a criterion for sup-
port.
Seasonwein defined an event as
worthy of support if it asks stu-
dents to consider major issues.
Bill Warnock, '61BA, criticized
the motion in that the type of
decision it called for would of
necessity be dependent upon the
value judgments of Individual
Council members.
Daily Editor Thomas Hayden,
'61, stated that the Council should
make such value judgments based
on the consideration of broad
issues which are important to
the students.

gists Say Education Improves Marriage

.. " +

- By NAN MARKEL
City Editor
Good news for University students comes from a new book by
two University sociologists-better-educated persons have happier
marriages, they say.
College graduates rate high in fulfilling marriage goals, which
are listed by a sample of 909 Detroit area women as 1) companion-
ship, 2) the chance to have children, 3)understanding, 4) love and
affection and 5) financial status,
"This comes through consistently no matter how you look at it,"
Prof. Robert 0. Blood, Jr. of the sociology department reported.
At a press conference yesterday he reviewed "Husbands and Wives--
The Dynamics of Married Living," which he co-authored with Donald
M. Wolfe of the Institute for Social Research.
Education does not ruin women for marriage, the sociologists
say. Although college alumnae are probably less apt to keep quiet
when they disagree with their husbands, they are more anxious to
work things through to a settlement.
Sharing makes for good marriages, they add, and it is easier for
college graduates to express affection as well as to communicate
information and opinions
Further, "the wife who finds mhost companionship in marriage
is the one who concentrates on entertaining and organizational
activity. College-educated wives' satisfaction far exceeds that of any
occupational or income category."
