SGC HEARS MOTION:
May Ask Constitutions

By PHILIP SHERMAN
Student Government Council last
night took the first step to obtain
access to fraternity and sorority
constitutions.
Under a motion introduced by
SOC President John Feldkamp,
'61, the Council would see copies
of those parts of the organiza-
tios' constitution to carry out its
authority to recognize and with-
draw recognition from student
organizations.

Final vote will be taken Nov. 1.
Meeting later in executive ses-
sion, the Council decided to defer
until next week appointment of
the Committee on Membership
Selection in Student Organiza-
tions.
Slate Prepared
A nominating committee had
prepared a slate to fill the four
student posts on the committee,
which is charged with adminis-
tration of the University regula-

Pledging Begins

tion, approved last spring by the
Council. That forbids discrimina-
tion in student organizations
membership practices.
(The regulation specifies that
"All recognized student organiza-
tions shall select membership and
afford opportunities -to members
on the basis of personal merit,
and not race, color, religion, creed,
national origin or ancestry.")
The Council has also received a
slate of nominees from the ad-
ministration and faculty to fill the
other three posts.
Membership Specified
When the Council set up the
membership sel9ction committee,
it specified that there be at least
one administrator and one faculty
member. The remaining non-stu-
dent postisto be filled by either
fan administrator or a faculty
member as the Council chooses.
Surrenders Gavel
Feldkamp surrendered his gavel
to present the motion on access
to constitutions.
If passed, the motion would re-
quire every recognized fraternity
and sorority to file with the vice-
president for student affairs a
copy of its constitution, or consti-
tutional form.
(This form, which is the same
as the fraternities and sororities
must at present file with the
deans' offices, includes such areas
as membership requirements, of-,
ficers, nature of the organization's+
executive committee, procedures1
for meetings, amendment and4
ratification of the constitution,
and various by-laws.
(The last area contains: mem-
ber's rights and duties; dues andf
initiation fees; method of election
of officers and their duties;group
parliamentary rules; and authori-t
ties of the groups executive and
other committees.) -
Limit Access1
An "appropriate and responsibler
representative of the Office of
Student Affairs and the presidentk
of SWC would have access to the:
entire form or constitution. The
membership selection committee,:
as a committee, would be ables
to scrutinize membership clauses:
only.
The Council would accept the
opinions of the president, the
membership committee or the Of-
fice of Student .Affairs, in lieu of
its own examination of the con-
stitutions.
Arguing for the motion, Feld-
kamp said access to constitutions
is necessary so that SGC may
carry out its jurisdiction over stu-
dent organizations. The Com-
mittee on Student Affairs, which1
had this job before it was given
to SGC, had the authority to seef
the constitutions, Feldkamp added.t
Asks Student Authority v
Feldkamp also said studentss
should make the rules for student 1
organizations, democratically, by
going through the Council.
He sees the motion not as am
blow at secret organizations butt
as a means for SGC "to worke
more effectively in its area."b
This area, he explained, includes
jurisdiction over students as or-e
ganization members. Concerns of i
individual students, such as hous- as
ing and loans, are generally the 1
responsibility of the Office of Stu- R
dent Affairs, though there is somen
overlapping.

Expect Late
Appear-ance
ByKennedy
By MICHAEL BURNS
Democratic presidential candi-
date Sen. John F. Kennedy is
expected to arrive at the Michi-
gan Union shortly after midnight
tonight and will speak briefly to
students from the steps.
The Massachusetts senator will
finish his televised debate tonight
with Vice-President Richard M.
Nixon, and then fly to Willow Run
Airport, where he is scheduled to
arrive at 11:45 p.m. After speak-
ing there, he will be driven to the
Union, where he will spend the
night.
Meanwhile, several University
students have been attempting to
present both Kennedy and Nixon
with questions concerning world
peace and disarmament.
Questions Follow Play
The questions originated from
a performance of "Which Way the
Wind," presented Tuesday night
in Ldia Mendessorn Theatre.
David Macleod, Spec., inter-
rupted the play to invite the 100
spectators to submit a list of 10
questions based on the drama to
the presidential candidates. The
play was sponsored by 10 groups
and so the audience decided to
submit the questions independent-'
ly.
Talk to Be Informal
Martin Underwood, Kennedy's
advance man, said that the can-
didate's talk at the Union would
be brief, informal and would not
concern political Issues.
Kennedy begins his day-long
whistle-stop tour of Michigan to-
morrow morning at 8:30 a.m. with
a speech at the Ann Arbor train
depot. He will be met at the air-
port by Gov. G. Mennen Williams
and Lt. Gov. John B. Swainson,
who will also stay overnight at
the Union. United States Senator
Patrick V. McNamara is expected
to be with Kennedy tomorrow
morning at his depot address.
The third Nixon-Kennedy de-
bate will be broadcast on radio
stations WWJ, WXYZ, WJBK, and
WCAR at 6:30 p.m. tonight, on
station WKMH at 7 p.m. and on
station WJR at 9:30 p.m. It will
be televised simultaneously on all
area channels at 7:30 p.m.
WSU Expels
Frtaternity
Wayne State University has
withdrawn recognition from the
legal fraternity, Delta Theta Phi.
The expulsion, which means the
fraternity may not use Wayne
State facilities for any purpose,
was caused by a restrictive clause
in the fraternity's national con-
stitution which limits membership
to white Christians.
Expulsion of the fraternity was
based on a 1954 faculty ruling
which gave fraternities and sorori-
ties at Wayne State until 1960 to
eliminate their restrictive mem-
bership clauses.
Wayne State's President Clar-
ence B. Hillberry wrote a warning
etter to the chapter's president,
Larry Fowler, this summer. When
there was no action taken on the
etter, the university withdrew
recognition of the fraternity, ef-
fective September 1, 1960.

Khrushchev staged on of hi
most bewildering displays, amaz

and at one point banging the des

President Accused
The final explosion came afte
a Romanian delegate accused th
Assembly president of being un
fair toward the Soviet bloc.
The angry UN president got
five-minute ovation from the del
egates.
;Back at his delegation head,
quarters on Park Avenue, Khrush
chev sought to dismiss the whol
affair as humorous. He said:
"The main instrument of th
president of the General Assembl;
broke. He rapped his gavel and i
broke. How can he proceed with
out a gavel?"
Informed sources said the Unit

agreeing to full Assembly debat

Communists' behavior caused Bo

day.
Followed U.S. Suggestion
The adjournment came in th
midst of a Communist bloc inter

suggestion that the Soviet Unior
dominates eastern Europe.
The confusion-began after Unit-

are a number of states in eastern
Europe which do not have thei

Phourna Urged To.Merge'
With RihWngRebels
VIENTIANE, Laos (M - The United States yesterday was
reported pressing neutralist Premier Souvanna Phouma to join
with a rightist rebel regime against the pro-Communist Pathet Lao
guerrillas.
The United States has been the chief financial prop for this
Asian kingdom, sending in millions in economic aid and paying

for the training and upkeep of
the royal army. The future of
U.S. aid, now being held up, may
depend on the premier's decision.
J. Graham Parsons, assistant
secretary of state for Far Eastern
affairs and the U.S. government's
top expert on this area, conferred
twice with Souvanna within hours
of his arrival from Washington.
Parsons formerly was ambassador
to Laos.
Souvanna faces a tough decision.
If he opens talks with General
Phouni Nosavan's rightwing re-
gime, Pathet Lao negotiators will
almost certainly walk out of their
current peace talks with Sou-
vanna's government. And Sou-
vanna's government is committed
to finding a compromise solution
to civil war with Pathet Lao.

SPEAKS TO YOUNG DEMOCRATS:
White Calls Election Vital to U.S. Politics

Opposes Bylaw
Platform proposals included a
call for the removal of the section
of Regents Bylaw 8:11 which pro-
hibits the appearance of speakers
who promote "modification of our
form of government by violence or
other unlawful methods or.. .jus-
tify conduct which violates the
fundamentals of our accepted code
of morals."
It protests University decisions
of student concern being made in
closed committee sessions and
asks that such sessions be open-
ed to students.
Proposals promoting broader
participation in SGC were includ-
ed.
Asks Committee Activation
The platform calls for the Im-
mediate activation of a Commit-
tee on Student Rights created by
a Council resolution passed in
April, 1959.
It advocates the construction

Home Delivery
The reproduced notes will be
delivered to the students' places
of residence one or two days after
the lecture.
However, the SLA may find it
difficult to increase its coverage
of courses, due to the opinions of
the lecturers involved.
The lecturers in Political Sci-
ence 11, Prof. George A. Peek and
Prof. John P. White, feel such a'
system is educationally unsound.
Possible Violation
Prof. Peek noted that "lectures
are a professor's own property"
and "taking his ideas and selling
them for a profit may involve
violation of copyright laws."
Lecturers in History 13, Alfred
C. Jefferson and Prof. Stephen J.
Tonsor, feel there is nothing mor-
ally wrong with such an arrange-
ment, but Prof. Tonsor is defi-
nitely opposed to the idea.

system of reliance on others in a

By JOHN ROBERTS
"The consequences of the 1960
election will be very great-not
so much for public policy as for
the future of American politics,"
Prof. John White of the political
science department said last night.
Prof. White told a meeting of
the Young Democrats that No-
vember 8 will decide "not Just
who will be the next president,
but whether the Democrats are
really the majority party in this
country."
This belief has been an "article
of faith" for so long that even the
Republicans accept it, he contin-
ued. Indeed, despite the election
of President Eisenhower in 1952
and 1956, studies by the TUniver-
sity's Survey Research Center
show that the Democrats have
held a consistent 5 to 3 margin
for the last decade.

again. Despite the scientific par-
aphernalia he uses, some of his'
conclusions seem to be drawn with
the help of a coin or ouija board,"
he said.
But if the polls are correct and
Nixon is elected, it will indicate
either that millions of nominal
Democrats "have made the sud-
den decision that they are really
Republicans," or that the elecor-
ate 'feels a presidential election is
"too personal for party identifi-
cation to carry over."
White Doubtful
Prof. White added that he
doubts this will happen. "Like
most political scientists, I tend
to be a form player. And the task
confronting Nixon in converting
millions of Democrats is just too
formidable."
But he cautioned that the third
possible explanation for the ap-

mary-before the election. And
people have noticed that several
Catholics have become governors
with no sign of the Pope taking
over the state capitals. While
there are places where the issue
will hurt Kennedy, he will prob-
ably be helped in the North by
the reaction to the attacks on
Catholicism."
South Important.
Another consequence of the
election this year will be the trend
in the south, Prof. White said. He
noted that in many southern cities,
businessmen's organizations have
endorsed the Nixon-Lodge ticket,
adding that "what is happening is
obvious -- conservatives in the
South are beginning to behave
1 i k e conservatives elsewhere."
Eventually, this should lead to a
two-party system in the south.
Prof. White believes this would be

'Advan'e Man'
Prepares Way
For Kennedy
It's a hard job when you're a
candidate campaigning for Presi-
dent.
It isn't much easier when you're
campaigning for someone else, as
Martin Underwood can attest.
Underwood is an "advance man'
for Sen. John F. Kennedy on his
visit to Ann Arbor. His job is
to arrange all the details of the
candidate's local agenda.,
One of his first tasks is to gel
in touch with the local sponsors
of the, candidate's visit and to
complete arrangements with then
for platforms, police escorts,
microphones and the thousand and
one other details that are involved.
He must make sure that the
press is well-informed of the can-
didate's schedule. "The press can
make or break you," Underwood
said,
Hotel reservations for Kennedy,
his aides and the scores of jour-
nalists traveling with the senator
must be made. Insuring adequate
facilities for the large party ac-
companying the presidential hope-
ful is a major problem, and last-
minute changes in personnel in
the various cities complicate the
situation.
Baggage transportation - from
plane or train to car to hotel to
car to plane or train - is another
vital responsibility that the ad-
vance man must oversee. A mis-
placed suitcase could result in
a less-appealing candidate or an
