ANDREI GROMYKO U.S. Plan Hit rBy Grornyko MOSCOW (/P)-Foreign Minister Andrei A. Gromyko turned a Soviet cold shower on the Geneva Dis- armament Conference yesterday, charging the Western powers do not want agreements on important proposals. He assailed President Lyndon B. Johnson's proposals as propaganda maneuvers to screen the arms race. "The United States administra- tion proposes . . . in the absence of any disarmament, the establish- mnent of international control over the most secret types of weapons and over the most secret aspects of military production." Gromyko said the Soviet Union had made varibus proposals to slow down the arms race and ease tensions. Among these he listed measures to prevent surprise at- tack, to establish denuclearized zones, and cut down of armed forces. He claimed a Soviet proposal to liquidate bombers "would mean a big advance," whereas a counter proposal by Johnson to eliminate only obsolete bombers "does not produce anything." Gromyko asked that the con- ference get to work on general and complete disarmament, put- ting details such as inspection in the background. The western plan for disarma- ment, he said, is unsatisfactory and he branded as "artificial con- coctions" Western insistence on security and inspection during the period of any disarmament pro- gram. Proposals made by British For- eign Secretary Richard A. Butler last week at Geneva were not new, Gromyko said. Butler proposed building up peacekeeping forces of the United Nations. This proposal was made by Premier Khrushchev in 1960 at the United Nations. "No sharp words would be ex- cessive to characterize the pro- ceedings of the 18-nation disarm- ament committee," said Gromyko. ? uluua esbl U1W 3ub i stitution, as charged by two Henry Ford Community College profes- sors who filed the suit. The court deferred action on invalidating the districts until the March 23 hearing. The court could force all Congressmen to run at large or direct the Legislature to reapportion them. Judges Talbot Smith, Clifford O'Sullivan and Stephen J. Roth are hearing a case brought orig- inally in 1962 by Donald A. Calk- ins and Karl J. Jacobs of Henry Ford Community College in Dear- born. Calkins and Jacobs brought their case first on the 1962 Con- gressional districting plan. The three judges acted yester- day on an amended complaint up- dating the case to apply to the new 1963 districting for Congres- sional seats. The court said in a statement: "Having read the plaintiffs' amended complaint and having heard the arguments of counsel, the majority of the members of this panel believe that the allega- tions of the amended complaint make up a prima facie showing that the 1963 state of Michigan Congressional Districting Appor- tionment Act is unconstitutional." Yesterday's hearing was on an application for a preliminary in- junction. The court deferred this until March 23. That hearing was set for Port Huron. The court's statement did not say which of the three judges dis- sented. Calkins and Jacobs charge that differences in populations of the ditsricts as drawn up by the 1963 Republican-controlled Legislature amount to discrimination and thus violate the "equal protection" garantee of the federal constitu- tion. Republican Gov. George W. Romney, who called the district- ing plan "one of the nation's best," is in Hawaii on vacation. Sees Opening' For Canal Talk PANAMA (P)-President Roberto Chiari said last night he believes President Lyndon B. Johnson has opened a way to a solution of the seven-week-old crisis over thet Panama Canal. The Panama president said Johnson's latest remarks were "not in conflict" with this country's basic position on the canal dispute. Johnson told a news conference Saturday that the amended 1903 Panama Canal Treaty, the core of contention between the two coun- tries, probably would require re- vision this year or next. At the same time, he underlined that the United States never would accept preconditions to treaty discussion. reer, Give Data On Polling To'OSA To Study Issue Of Juniors' Bid By MARGARET LOWE The Women's Conference Com- mittee, on the basis of its fall suir v ey, recently recommended many liberalizations in University regulations for women, but failed to recommend junior apartment privileges despite such a prefer- ence among 60 per cent of Uni- versity women. The recommendations havenbeen submitted to Vice-President for Student Affairs James A. Lewis, who is expected to take official action on them before spring re- cess. He plans to make his deci- sions known when classes resume, Assembly Association President Charlene Hager, '64, said yester- day. The WCC recommended only "further consideration" of junior apartment permission. Ineffectual "Sorority women have already signed housing contracts for next year, and dormitory women are signing contracts today," Miss Hager said. "Junior apartment permission would be ineffectual because these housing contracts could not be broken," she added. "Recommendations ready for implementation next year" include a change in women's curfew from 12:30 a.m. on weekends to 1 a.m. on Friday nights and 1:30 a.m on Saturdays. The largest single vote in the survey on junior hours, however, was for junior key permission on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. Consider It However, change to junior key privileges is "further considera- tion" material just as junior apart- ment permission is. "It was felt that not enough support was in- dicated for abolishing junior hours next year to warrant a recom- mendation of such nature," Miss Hager said.% Also in this area, WCC advo- cates ten automatic late permis- sions per semester for qualified junior women and eight for sophomores instead of the present eight for junior women "in good academic standing" only. Also recommended was that the Women's Conference Committee composed of the president of the Women's League, chairman, pres- ident of Panhel, president of As- sembly and the highest ranking woman of Joint Judiciary be the channel for changes in women's regulations (except housing and apartments). 'Overwhelming' Support The two changes that received an "overwhelming yes" in the poll -to allow women with senior privileges to leave their housing units after closing and to delete the rule forbidding freshman women to visit men's non-Univer- sity approved housing-are also strongly recommended by WCC. Also, calling hours for the op- posite sex in University housing were recommended as 9 a.m. until closing. The visiting hours are presently from 12 noon to closing.

Other officers for the coming year are John Grant, '65 (right), executive vice-pres- ident and William Kotila, '65, administrative vice-president. Cartwright, former chairman of the Union international affairs committee, succeeds Raymond Rusnak, '64, in the presidency.

'KEY CAMPAIGN ISSUE' ICandidates Debate SGC Form By JOHN WEILER Student Government Council candidates debated Sunday wheth- er Council should exist in its present form. Most candidates agreed that this is the major issue in the campaign. The discussion came at an all campus forum held in the Union before less than fifty students. Richard Keller Simon, '66, co- chairman of the Student Govern- ment Reform Union charged that present incumbents "don't have Setonian ,Action Stirs Protests On Regulations The two-month suspension of the Setonian, Seton Hall Univer- sity's weekly newspaper by Bishop John J. Dougherty, university pres- ident, has served as a springboard for protest against university reg- ulations. Students are picketing the uni- versity for changes in dress reg- ulations and other rules which they consider unfair at the same time as negotiations aimed at re- storing the Setonian continue. An eleven member student com- mittee met with administra ion officials yesterday, but little prog- ress was made, Setonian editor Rocco Pietro said. Another meet- ing is scheduled for today. However, Pietro claimed that there is only a slight possibility that the paper will be allowed to resume publication before April when the staff will be reorganized. Meanwhile, the United States Student Press Association is con- sidering implementing the "dis- aster" plan by. importing other college newspapers to the Seton- ian campus. The Manhattan Quadrangle and St. John's Down- towner are planning issues Ior Seton Hall, but are awaiting con- tact and more information from Setonian editors. past records" on which to base' their platforms. He said that his party proposes an "evaluation of SGC" to determine its value in its present form." Simon noted that it is not "SGC's job to sort paper clips" and said that SGC should have, meaningful discussions in its meet-' ings. Another SGRU candidate, Rob- ert Grody, '66, proposed direct election of the president and vice- president of SGC. He said that such a referendum could pass if more students knew about the issue. Grody said that SGC should not "consider so much but should work more." Not Present Form 'Even a strong SGC can't do anything with the present form,") Thomas Copi, '67, of SGRU as-1 serted. Copi explained that SGRU does not know what should be done, but it proposes studying the issues with the faculty. "There is too much politicking, and legislative machinery, and too many committees for SGC to be effective," Carl J. Cohen, '66, co- chairman of SGRU said. He claim- ed that the Hare system of voting "is absurd" and that there should be "no ex-officio's on Council withc vote." Cohen added that SGRU pro- poses setting up a constituent as- sembly so students in the Univer- sity can be heard. David Block, '66, another SGRU endorsed candidate, said that ready begun doing feasibility stud- ies on various aspects of the "SGC is certainly ineffective" but project but has been careful "not that the reasons are not known.

The approximately 175 faculty members voting approved the proposal by a two-to-one margin. Their action opens the way for the upper administra- tion to begin making specific plans for the new,1000-studen liberal arts- college, to be located on or near the University campus. Using the specifications developed yin the literary college, as a starting point, the Office of Academic Affairs will now "prepare a proposal" to be put before the President and the Regents," Vice-Presi- ColleEn dent for Academic Affairs Roger W.

He charged that SGC cannot implement what the students do not want. Chad Grey, '66L, another SURGe member, commented, "We should not ask SGC to decide something vital each week." Scott Crooks, '65, SURGe en- dorsed incumbent, saw a great need for communication between SGC and its constituency. Gary Cunningham, '65, a SURGe candidate and an incumbent, said that all segments of the Univer- sity now are represented on the present council. "SGC can be an effective stu- dent governing body" in such areas as student parking, the Confer- ence on the University, laundry services, and other areas as shown last year, he added. "SGC has already opened some doors" since it was formed and it would be wrong to start from scratch again, Cunningham claim- ed. He suggested that SGC might plan expansion in the areas of academic affairs, a new profes- sor's chair, student rule-making, and also expand work with the See CANDIDATES, Page 2 J the residential college since it must draw its faculty from the lit- erary college. Well-Considered Following the vote of approval, Dean William Haber of the lit- erary college asserted happily that "the matter has been thoroughly aired and fully discussed. I con- sider-and many members of the faculty consider-this action as 'enabling legislation,' fully recog- nizing that much planning needs to be done." He said that the nearly two- hour debate yesterday mainly cen tered on costs: "Will it divert money from operations already here?" Reflecting this concern, the fac ulty attached two strings to its endorsement: "there will be no diversion of funds normally allo- cated to the literary college, and costs (should not be) incommen surate with those associated with other forms of instruction in the literary colege." Hay Committee Report The faculty vote followed the presentation of a report from Prof. George E. Hay, chairman of the mathematics department and head of a faculty committee evaluating the project. The original proposal was drawn up by a committee headed by Prof. Lawrence Slobod- kin of the zoology department. Its supporters hope the unique new college, by having students both live and study together with- in one building or complex of buildings, will create a small-col- lege "esprit de corps" centering on intellectual interests. It would teach only students "living in"' these students would be expected to "informally make a commit- ment to remain for the entire un- dergraduate program. However, it would be unwise to attempt La force any student to continue i the program against his will," the Hay committee advised. Full Status The new college's faculty would have full-fledged literary college appointments, serving on tempor- ary assignment in the" residential division. There probably would be no faculty living in the college. Its administration would be headed by a director who also Group Terms Qualification Of English Teachers Poor' At least half the nation's high school English teachers are poorly qualified, a report recently prepared by the National Council of Teachers of English indicated. Portions of the report, due to be published this spring, were presented yesterday by James R. Squire at a conference of English supervisors at the Office of Education. Squire, executive secretary " Df the Council, said that the report was based on information from 7400 secondary school English teachers and 3000 elementary teachers. r Contact Among the findings: Sly h nlf the high hhl WILLIAMS, ADEBO: ISA Speakers Ask Internal Iono By BRIAN BEACH f- 1l -rzr - Urmmianc -acic a that are offered," William,, as- ithem to first take their religious :PrA dfaith .whatever it mnm he.s erious- {-ny lal tae lgn sulw English teachers have earned a college major in English. -The majority those planning - *.... l*.. -i'w " ,', ?HUt".'. -
