Interfraternity Council President Jon Trost, '61, and Roger Seasonwein, '61, will introduce the motion, which outlines under what conditions SGC, committee on membership or other official organs of the University may use the information.

These officials, Arthur Gallagher1 and George McCallum, editor-in-M chief and advertising manager of' the News respectively, further as-! sured the Commission that they are planning to start at once in educating the users of their ad- vertising columns "to the end of eliminating suchadvertising." The Commission gave its thanks to the Ann Arbor Direct Action- Comittee and the local NAACP for{ the parts they played in the effort to have the News adopt a policy of prohibiting restrictive language in its advertising columns. It also passed unanimously a, recommendation "that the Ann Arbor News be commended by the Commission and informed that the Commission will watch with in- terest the progress being made in, the days ahead." A further result of last night's meeting was the acceptance of a draft of a letter to be sent to the1 Ann Arbor Board of Realtors ex-1 pressing disapproval of a series of articles which that group had] placed in the News during Sep-I tember and October. These articles were placed in an effort to arouse opposition to Rule Nine of the Michigan CorporationI and Securities Commision which! prevents realtors from participat- ing in sales or rentals in which discriminatory conditions are specified on the gorunds of race, color, religion, national origin or ancestry. The Commislon said that thej articles "strired up unnecessary dissention in the community, rather than promoting harmony# and good will," and expressed aI concern for "the best interest ofj all the citizens of this community." the existing procedures suffice. wouldI Consider Motion Student Government Council will also consider motions to es- tablish a committee on student rights and to revise the structure of international activities. Daily Editor Thomas Hayden, '61, and Seasonwein are presenting the for- mer motion. The proposed Com- mittee on Student Rights would have three functions: to serve as a board of grievance, to investi- gate and seek to correct Univer- sity policies and practices, and to prepare a booklet discussing stu- dent rights and responsibilities. The motion notes that existing machinery deals with violations of student responsibilities, but "com-- parable machinery designed to protect and to promote the exer-' cise of student rights does not exist,'' Propose Board End Brian Glick, '62, present chair- man of the International Coordi- nating Board, will propose that the board be replaced by three separate committees: the present International committee, to con- centrate on providing serviceto both foreign and American stu- dents; an International Week Committee, to coordinate the Week'~s activities, nationality clubs and othernrelevant student organizations; and an Interna- tional Relations Committee, to in- crease person-to-person and small group contact between Americans and international students. The SGC Committee on Edu- cation and Student Welfare will seek Council approval of a letter to be sent to the Literary College Faculty Curriculum Committee. "The letter suggests four areas j to investigate as alternatives to the idea of comprehensive exams,f and states generally what such programs can accomplish," com- mittee chairman Mike Zimmer- man, '62, said. To Study Forms The forms to be investigated are independent study programs, detailed research papers, labora- tory research projects and senior- level survey courses. The committee will also move that SGC co-sponsor the Asia, 'oundation Book Drive with the' International Student's Associa- tion, The Foundation, whose purpose is to strengthen Asian education- al, cultural, and civic activities' with private American assistance,3 is collecting American textbooks for distribution to 18 nations, De Gaulle Still Firm On Stand PARIS (A) - President Charles de Gaulle came home last night from his Algerian tour and an- nounced he is standing by his home rule policy for the big North African territory, despite rioting there that left 123 dead. He narrowly missed a new out- break of rioting by both Algerian nationalists and 'Frenchmen in Bone, his takeoff point from Al- geria. French troops fired on Frenchmen there for the first time in five days of violence. Seven Algerians and two Frenchmen were killed, "One Policy" "We have only one policy and it is necessary to follow it. It is the good one," the 70-year-old president told cabinet members and deputies greeting him at the airport. At the same time he dispatched a letter to Louis Joxe, Algerian affairs minister, saying coopera- tion between the European and Moslem communities is essential. "All that I have just seen and heard in the course of my inspec- tion has convinced me of this more firmly than ever," de Gaulle wrote. "To assure this cooperation, and to oppose all whose action tends to prevent it-this is the policy of France." Calls for Review He sped off to his official resi- dence behind a motorcade escort and along streets guarded by more police. The stubborn leader called for a full-scale cabinet review amid reports he plans to fire any ministers not fully behind his policies, even though they could lead to independence for Algeria. Behind him in Algeria, de Gaulle had left word for tough treatment of the leaders in the disorders that began with anti-de Gaulle riots by the Europeans and ended in pro-nationalistriots by the Mos- lems. Although he never mentioned the riots while in Algeria, they are believed to have roused him to cold anger. De Gaulle's parting plea to Al- geria was one foriunderstanding between Moslems and Europeans. Zorin Levies Spy Charge UNITED NATIONS (P) - The Soviet Union charged the United States yesterday with send- ing U-2 spy planes over rebel-held areas of Algeria to help the French. The United States labeled the accusation a lie. Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Valerian A. Zorim made the charge in the United Nations General As- sembly's political committee, where he threw Moscow's unqualified support behind an Asian-African resolution calling for a UN refer- endum on self-determination in Algeria. The Soviet position was set forth as Secretary-General Dag Ham- marskjold came under mounting pressure from the 46-nation Asian- African group to speak out on the latest violence in France's North African territory. Francis W. Carpenter, spokes- man for the United States delega- tion, issued this statement: "The Soviet charge that United States U-2 planes are being used to carry out reconnaissance in Algeria is a complete fabrication. We reject it categorically." As Defense Department as 4 2-- mam 4'w -s~n, am Democrats, Faculty Like Appointment, Proclaim McNamara Well Fitted for Job; See New Changes By RON WILTON State officials, members of the University faculty and members of the Ann Arbor business commun- ity all applauded the appointment of Robert S. McNamara to the post of Secretary of Defense in the Kennedy administration. President-elect John F. Ken- nedy has made an "outstanding choice" in picking McNamara for the position, Gov. G. Mennen Williams said. This view was also held by Democratic State Chair- man Neil Staebler who declared that McNamara was a man who would bring a broad vision ot the problems of defense and economic expansion. Change of Policy "McNamara's take-over will mark a change of policy in terms of defense commitments both here and abroad," Prof. William R. Gable of the political science de- partment said. He expects a less- ening of inter-service rivalries be- cause there will probably be "a better definition of what we want from each service. Prof. George A. Peek of the political science department pre- dicted that "McNamara will bring great ability, a new look and fresh imagination to the post of Secre- tary of Defense." Release Stock Another aspect of the appoint- ment was brought out by Prof. Karl A. Lamb of the political sci- ence department. In explaining the fact that McNamara will have to irrevocably give up his stock in the Ford Motor Co., Prof. Lamb said that this "points up the need for a better definition of the term 'conflict of interests'." He said he hoped Congress would take a new look at the situation in the com- ing session. Members of Alpha Kappa Psi, business fraternity of which Mc- Namara is an honorary member, declared that the new secretary, who calls himself a "registered Re- publican," they said, would have no difficulty in working with the other members of Kennedy's cabi- net, HVS U Vendors Fined, Jailed A pair of Michigan State Uni- versity students has been fined $95 plus costs and sentenced to 10 days in the Ingham county Jail for failure to register an assumed business name with the county clerk for their food "panic kit" enterprise.

Rea said. "What the actual results of the new law will be is only a matter of conjecture. Obviously liquor will-be mores available to more students than is now the case." Licensees, however, will be more concerned with observing the law forbidding liquor purchases by minors, Rea predicted. "A very strict observance of the law is now kept, and I think it will become more strict." Although the present " Leaves Job With Ford For Cabinet President-elect Sees Ranking Officials FromLabOr, Farming WASHINGTON (JP)-President- elect John F. Kennedy yesterday persuaded 44-year-old Robert S. McNamara to give up a $400,000 a-year job as president of Ford Motor Co. to serve as secretary of defense. "I came to the conclusion that personal considerations must be subordinated to the.best interests of the United States," McNamara told reporters after Kennedy an- nounced that the Ford executive had agreed to accept the $25,000- a-year cabinet post. Both men were smiling as Ken- nedy-a year younger than Mc- Namara-made the announcement from the steps of his red brick home in the Georgetown section. They were coatless, although the temperature was down to about 18 degrees. Saw 'Sacrifice' Kennedy said he realized that McNamara-who became president of the giant Ford Company only five years ago-was making a per- sonal sacrifice. In addition to sur- rendering a big salary, McNamara said he will divest himself of big holdings of Ford stock, The President-elect chose the occasion to give a strong sendoff to his secretary-designate, whom he said he met for the first time last Thursday. Kennedy pledged effective lead- ership for the nation's all important military system which he said will be second to hon and "so strong It can defend the peace." Says He's GOP McNamara-who described him- self as a registered iepublican "but I vote as a political indepen- dent"-was'the fifth of 10 cabinet appointments to be made so far. Another may be announced to- d1ay, it was indicated after a day which saw high-ranking visiors from organized labor, agriculture and other fields shuttle in and oul of the Kennedy home. McNamara - a native of San Francisco and like Kennedy a Harvard man-was the first Ken- nedy cabinet selection to be drawn from industry. The other four - secretaries of state, com- merce, interior and welfare. - are governors, a member of Con- gress and a foundation official with experience in government, Follow Ike's Lead In picking a motor company leader to run the immense Defense Department, with its 40-billion- dollar-a-year budget, Kennedy followed the lead of President Dwight D. Eisenhower, The first secretary of defense in the Eisen- hower adminitsration was Charles 4. Wilson, then president of Gen- eral Motors Corp. Like GM, Ford does a big con- tract business with the military. The secretary-to-be made it clear he is divesting himself of 24,250 shares of Ford stock and an option on 30,000 more. In addi- tion, he said he is disposing of 100 shares of Scott Paper Co. stock. Blood Drive To Open Today Arrangements have been com- pleted for the Fayette County "blood drive," which will be held from 5 to 9 p.m. today and to- morrow in Lane Hall, Judith Yes- ner, Grad, said. Students and townspeople are being asked to donate a pint of blood to raise money for the relief of Negroes in Fayette County, Tenn., where a boycott by white merchants has created a food shortage. A Detroit blood bank is send- ing its mobile unit to Ann Arbor for the drive. Miss Yesner em- phasized that the blood bank is a nonprofit organigation. c1gIdtA-.+c. ln+mpnn +1 n ca..

C By MICHAEL OLINICK The Fraternity Presidents' Assembly last night took action to outlaw pledge pranks which cause physical harm or damage to fra- ternity members or their house and cause public disfavor, Any such "unified pledge activity" will be construed as a viola- tion of the Interfraternity Council by-laws if it is referred to the IFC executive committee by the office' of then ean of Men, IFC Presi- MORE THAN AID: dent Jon Trost, '61, said.

List Responsibilities The pledge trainer, the pledge class president and the house president will be immediately re- sponsible for the activity, "The policy covers any action which is detrimental to the fra- ternities, Trost added, noting that "complance does not simply mean phoning the police and reporting what is going to happen." An IFC official explained committee member, explained that the committee had consider- ed banning all pledge pranks but had decided that "there is a cer- tnin value to he nined in them."' student identification card (green cashier's receipt) is not completely a satisfactory ID, last year's form was "more unreliable because it was so easily falsified by many students even though it contained a photograph," he said. "In terms of conduct, drinking is the number one problem of higher education in regard to the individual and his group," Rea, said. He hoped the new ordinance might move student drinking into "properly supervised places." L ks Greater Use of Language Laboratory Hodges Sees Improvement For Economy WASHINGTON UP) - The next secretary of commerce said yester- day he believes the economy will begin to recover in the spring from what he called the "slight easing - off" of the past few months. Gov. Luther Hodges of North Carolina, told that to newsmen after a six-hour briefing sesion with the man he will succeed in January, Secretary of Commerce Frederick H. Mueller. But Hodges said he was not ready to say whether the new administration should go in for business-stimulating measures. He added, however, that if the Kennedy administration does con- sider giving business a shot in the arm, the Commerce Department should have a voice in making the decisions. Hodges told a news conference also that he would expect the commerce department to adminis- ter any Federal program for aid to depressed areas. But he said he believes the major problem confronting the depart- ment is that of expanding this country's foreign trade. Mueller already has launched an export epnnsion nrnogrm tn heln . By DOROTHY DETZER The language laboratory should be used, not as a teaching aid, but as a complete teaching device in itself, Prof. Rand Morton of the Spanish department says in his recent publication of "The Lan- guage Laboratory as a Teaching Machine." Prof. Morton, director of the language laboratory at the Uni- versity, with the help of other linguists and psychologists, is working on a plan that will take the student out of the classroom for his beginning year of a lan- guage. "The language lab, in its present progress at his own speed. The machine, as a private teacher, will not let the student progress until each skill has been perfected. It will "feed back" answers and com- ments that will aid and encourage the student in his learning of the basic skills of hte language. The average student, by spend- ing five hours a week with the LLTM, should know the basic skills of the language within one semester, said Prof. Lane. He would then move to the class room where he would learn how to use the language. No Questioning While using the LLTM, the stu- r'. .1. ...: . . _ .. L . . .

Prof. Morton writes that the instructor would no longer have to teach the primitive sounds, but could spend his time teaching the ideas the language conveys. He feels that a college professor should be able to teach at a college level. Change Environment Prof. Morton wants to change not only the mechanics of the language teaching system, but al- so the environment in which the wgffgw :
