Panhel Approves New Honor Code Plan Reduces Bidding Restrictions, Liberalizes Rushing Procedures By SHERI BERMAN Panhellenic Association voted overwhelmingly last night to abolish their present honor code in favor of one that makes pos- sible greater contact between affiliated and independent women. The new honor code will enable houses to bid anyone but first semester freshmen any time in the fall semester after fall rush. Likewise, those houses which have not made maximum quota in the spring may bid second semester freshmen and upperclass- men any time after formal spring rush. Houses may not extend a bid to first semester fresh- Y 4jblfi 4!Iaii 49 Seventy-Three Years of Editorial Freedom VOL. LXXIV, No. 164 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, MAY 1, 1964 SEVEN CENTS EIGHT I Gold Offers Adviser Plany To Sororities By LAUREN BAHR "What you need in sorority houses are young faculty couple who would replace present house directors," Prof. Martin Gold o the psychology department said yesterday at the Panhellenic Coun. cil meeting. Prof. Gold was invited to spea at the meeting as part of Panhel's program to redirect itself towarc greater emphasis on the scholastic and educational aspects of college I ife. According to Karen Boatman '65, scholarship chairman, the ve- hicle for the establishment of thi sharing of perspectives progran between affiliated women and fac- * ulty members would be a faculty associate program. Through suc a program, faculty members could become associate members of a sorority house and drop in in- formally at any time for meals and for a talk with the girls. Against Associate Program Prof. Gold did not seem to thini that such a program would fulfil the objectives that the girls rwis]? to accomplish. Improving the public image o: sororities was the first goal out. lined by the girls. "The image w now present possibly does noi correspond to the roles set by the University for the student. W ' want to find a means to mov closer to the University," Mist Boatman said. Bari Telfer, '65, Panhel execu- tive vice-president, proposed the second objective. "We want greater contact with faculty members or an informal basis. There should be rre contact between the aca- demic community and sororit3 women," she said. Rewarding but Unsuccessful Prof. Gold, who is presently fac- ulty asociate for Newberry Hall said that the experience has beer very rewarding. but that such w program would not accomplist these goals. "I drop over informally very seldom, not because I do not feel welcome but because there isn't enough time," he said. "Time is a strong pressure mitigating in- formal visits." "Secondly, there are intangible barriers to dropping in informal- ly," he continued. "Although yo know you are welcome, it is still a difficult thing to do. I fee] more comfortable when I am formally invited," Prof. Gold ad'd- ed. Not Unique Problem "The problem you are facing is not unique to sororities and does not stem from the sorority sys- tem," Prof. Gold emphasized. "You are dealing with the problem of the intellectual value system which sometimes breeds disdain and con- tempt for other value systems," he said. "These prejudices of the intel- lectual, the faculty, can only be overcome by exchanges of values which does not happen overnight" he emphasized. "One or two infre- quent visits by a faculty associate would not accomplish this." Prof. Gold said that what it needed is more constant contact between faculty members and the sororites. "This can only be ac- complished by having faculty members living in the houses," he noted. Many Changes "A great many changes would have to be made before such a system could be instituted," Jan Miller, advisor to Panhel said. "Perhaps we could start by hav- ing couples living nearby and tak- ing most of their meals at the houses and giving the wives some responsibility so the couples would have regular contact with the houses," Miss Miller suggested. The suggestion of Prof. Gold re- ceived a favorable initial reaction from the house presidents and many of them showed an interest in investigating the proposal fur- ther. Rocket Base EFt-hhl'2A men at any time. Retained in the new code is the provision excluding sorority wom- en from independent housing units and unaffiliated girls from soror- ity houses during formal rushing periods. Can Speak Freely Affiliated women wil now be able to speak freely to independ- ent women about rush and any aspect of the sorority system. Freshmen women can be present in sororities any time except dur- ing the formal rushing periods. The previous honor code for- bade any women who did not have the opportunity to go through rush on the Michigan campus from vis- iting a sorority house. The old code also forbids wom- en from "knowingly influencing a girl's decision pertaining to rush either directly or indirectly." It places all women on their hon- or "not to discuss rush in any groups where both affiliated and Independent women are present." To Benefit Small Houses One possible argument in fa- vor of the new code was the hope that houses which have not made their quotas during formal rush would be able to benefit from the more intimate basis of an open rushing situation. Speakers at the meeting con- tended that freshmen girls have preconceived notions of sororities that may inhibit them or prevent them from returning to some of the less popular houses. It is hop- ed that under the new regula- tions freshmen women will be able to judge the houses on a more equal basis. Opposition to the proposal was based mainly on the fear that such a system would lead to "dirty rushing." Some of the sorority presidents and rush chairmen present saw the chance of a few girls being highly pressured by some of the more powerful houses. Dirty Rush Panhel President Ann Wickins, '65, pointed out that dirty rush would not be possible. "Sorority women do not have the time or their houses the funds to' invite 1300 women to dinner." Miss Wic- kins sees competition forming along natural lines. The new code was recommend- ed by the Panhel rush study com- mittee and approved by the Exec- utive Council of the all-sorority organization. It was passed to rem- edy the conflict between the new fall rushing system and the pre- vious honor code. Zanzibar Leader Frees Prisoners ZANZIBAR R)--On the heels of his union with Tanganyika, President Abeid Karume toured the jails and prison camps in Zanzibar yesterday and personally ordered the release of 1000 politi- cal prisoners. He was making good on a prom- ise made in a speech Wednesday that all but the major enemies of the people would be out of jail in time to attend a May Day celebration today. Most of the prisoners were Arabs who had been jailed since the is-1 land's January revolution. UN Force Act $1.3 MILLION: To Solicit Federal Money For General Library Addition HUBERT H. HUMPHREY Senate May Vote on Bill Amendment WASHINGTON (W) - Senate majority leader Mike Mansfield (D-Mont) expressed some confi- dence yesterday that the jury trial amendment to the civil rights bill can be brought to a vote next week without trying to invoke cloture. "Very encouraged" was the way Mansfield pictured the outlook for getting a vote without a show- down debate-limiting attempt. As dickering over this went on behind the scenes, the Senate roll- ed through its 44th day of debate on the House-passed bill. Sen. Hu- bert H. Humphrey (D-Minn), floor manager for the measure, flatly predicted "there will be amend- ments" and that President Lyn- don B. Johnson will accept some changes. This apparently was an official change in the administration's stand that the bill must be passed by the Senate with no changes. There had previously been defin- ite indications the supporters of the measure, including adminis- tration officials, were reconciled to accepting several changes. Early in the day Senate Repub- lican leader Everett M. Dirksen (Ill) said he hoped an agreement could be announced for a vote next week on the jury trial amend- ment. But Mansfield said he and Dirksen had concluded after a round of conferences that "it would be inadvisable to try to get an agreement this week" setting a time for a vote. Mansfield said he and Dirksen will try and give senators "plenty of notice when a vote might be expected." Indications were that the Sen- ate leaders hope a vote could be mustered next Wednesday or Thursday, without any announced agreement and without a limita- tion on debate. Cloture has never been invoked successfully in civil rights de- bates. It takes two-thirds of sen- ators voting to accomplish this. [s To Subdue By JUDITH WARREN The University awaits its chance to apply for $1.3 million in fed- eral funds for an addition to the General Library. The funds became available by a $1.2 billion federal program to aid in the construction of educa- tion facilities. The library addi- tion would cost $5 million overall. The bill appropriating specific funds for the federal program has passed the House of Representa- tives in Washington. It is await- ing passage in the Senate, accord- ing to John Muntone, legislative liaison of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare. Construction Grants The pending bill will provide $463 million in direct grants, and loans for construction this coming fiscal year. The program will then be renewed for two more years. Of this sum $60 million will be available for graduate institutions. It is for part of this amount that the University will apply. According to the provisions of the bill, the University will apply directly to the Commissioner of Education in Washington. Then, after reviewing the University's application, the money will be ap- propriated. Also included in the bill are measures for the construction of undergraduate buildings and loans for further construction. $230 will be available for un- dergraduate construction. If the University wishes part of this money, it will apply to a state commission of education. On the basis of the recommendation of this commission, money will be Federal Pay Raise Passed By Committee WASHINGTON OP) -- With a strong push from President Lyn- don B. Johnson, a new pay-in- crease bill for 1.7 million federal workers won House committee ap- proval yesterday. The main difference between the new bill and the one defeated by the House last month is that the proposed annual raise for members of Congress is trimmed from $10,000 to $7500. They now make $22,500 a year. The prospect of explaining to the voters why they gave them- selves a $10,000 raise was a major factor in the 222-184 vote by which the House defeated the original bill on March 12. Rep. H. R. Gross (R-Ia) one of the three Republican members of the House Post Office and Civil Service Committee who voted against approving, the new bill, quickly carried his opposition to the House floor. There he complained that the new bill was delivered to commit- tee members only Wednesday, and approved yesterday on a 14-3 vote with no hearings or witnesses. The raises for career employes and postal workers covered by the new bill would be the same as in the earlier version, ranging from less than three per cent at the bottom to about 22 per cent at the top. Also, raises for top officials and congressmen would take effect next Jan. 1 instead of in July. All other raises would be effective on the first payday after enactment. appropriated by the federal gov- ernment. The state commission has not as yet been set up, nor have rules been established for application for funds, John McKevitt, assist- ant to the vice-president for bus- iness and finance, said. The commission will be com- posed of nine men-one repre- sentative each from public, pri- vate and community institutions and six representatives from the public-at-large. Chosen by Governor The representatives will be chosen by the governor subject to the approval by the Senate. The commission will be led by State Controller Glenn Allen. The state superintendent of public instruction will sit on the commission as an ex-officio mem- ber.- Also, according to the bill, $169 million will be available for loans by the federal government for the construction of both graduate and undergraduate facilities. Direct Loans Appropriations for loans will be made directly by the Commission- er of Education in Washington to the institutions requesting the money. "Because of the debate now go- ing on in the Senate concerning the civil rights bill, there is no way of knowing when this approp- riations bill will be brought up," Dr. Montone said. Passage of the bill is expected since it passed quite strongly in the House, he added.

Repairing a $2 million slash made by the Ways a Means Committee on Tuesday, House members prepared t Senate-approved budget appropriation for final passage 1 day. Their action on the House floor was part of a gene: mending of Gov. George Romney's $131 million higher ed cation budget. It was adopted that way by the Senate se eral weeks ago, but the ways and means committee h reported it out at $124 million- on Tuesday. ""m Castro Warns U.S. Against Sending Planes over Cuba HAVANA (p)-Prime Minister Fidel Castro warned yesterday against more United States lane flights over Cuba, declaring: "We will defend our sovereignty, whatever it may cost. and wherever it may happen."I He said he is ready to seek a peaceful solution to problems with his North American neighbor but if the Americans want war "there will be war." Castro made the statement during the course of a four-hour talk with foreign newsmen and diplomats at a Japanese diplomatic reception that stretched into the' early morning hours. To 'Hit' U.S. Flights His remarks set the stage for an address he will deliver today at Havana's big May Day cele- bration. Diplomats expect him to hit hard at the U.S., which "as announced the reconnaissance flights will continue despite Cub- an protests. The Soviet Union has supported Cuba's protests. "We will prevent these flights to the limits of what our weap- ons can do," Castro asserted. He did not specify that meant Cuba would use Soviet rockets to try to bring down American planes. Russian Missiles Without mentioning any defi- nite date, the Cuban leader said the ground-to-air rockets now con- trolled by Russians "will be hand- ed over to Cuba." It had become known in Wash- ington previously that hundreds of U.S. jet fighter. bombers and attack planes-each capable of hurling tons of explosives, are poised within striking reach of Cuba. U.S. Defense Department sourc- es have said no precautionary alerts have been ordered but tac- tical air units are expected to be be in shape to scramble, or ready for action, on short notice. The most probable form of ac- tion against any retaliation by Cuba to the U.S. reconnaissance flights, Washington observers be- lieve, would be a swift blow to knock out one or more of the Cuban antiaircraft missile com- plexes. Crisis The spy flight crisis arose from U.S. intelligence reports that de- parting Soviet troops are cxpected to turn over to Castro 24 high- powered antiaircraft rocket'-instal- lations. A U.S. note was sent to Cuba March 27, via the Swiss, warning Castro against interfering with the American flights. File Assault By LEONARD PRATT An unsigned complaint has been sent to Municipal Court charging a 20-year-old white University stu- dent with assualting an 18-year- old Negro at Michigras last Satur-° day night. The University student may be charged with assault and battery if the complaint is signed. This fight is the one which is reported to have set off the brawl at Yost Field House as well as later fights., No Names Officials connected with the case would not release the names of either of the youths involved. Sources did note that the com- plaint against the University stu- dent would "presumably be sign- ed." Four young men have also been arraigned in Circuit Court in con- nection with a fight that took place at McDonald's Restaurant around 1 a.m. last Sunday. This fight was reportedly connectedj with the earlier one at Yosr Field House. In this case, Robert Jacobs and Thomas Darrow, both of Dexter, have entered pleas of not guilty before Municipal Court Judge Francis L. O'Brien. Disorderly Fighting Gerald Ulmer and Leroy Wil- liams, both of Ann Arbor, stood mute to the charges. The four are charged with disorderly fighting. Jacobs and Darrow are sched- uled to. stand trial in Municipal Court on May 13. Ulmer and Wil- liams will plead to the charge on May 6. For the University, the reinstat- ed $2 million will assure the mer- it salary pay hikes and full-scale trimester plan which have top budget priority.' Executive Vice-President Mar- vin L. Niehuss expressed "our great pleasure" at the restoring of the funds. He, along with a host of administrators from the state- supported schools, have worked here over the past few days to have the money reinserted into the bill. The University's $2 million was added back as Ways/and Means Chairman Rep. Arnell Engstrom (R-Traverse City) recommended "non-concurrence" with his m- mittee's suggested $7 million slashes for higher education. Voice Vote His request came only a few hours after a Republican caucus had "strongly urged", that the funds be restored, Rep. Gilbert E. Bursley (R-Ann Arbor) said. The official adoption of Engstrom's recommendation, by a voice vote, was necessary to set the bill up for the final passage by the mid- night deadline tonight. The capital outlay bill, from which the ways and means com- mittee deleted $300,000 of the University portion, was also set for final passage today - with the cuts intact. ' Some of the money may be re- stored by a joint conference com- mittee, Bursley said. The House and Senate will have to confer over differences in their capital outlay bills. Difference The only major difference in the bills would be the $300,000 for the University. Members of the House, includ- ing Michael O'Brien (D-Detroit) were pressing to have 'oth bills sent back to committee under the parliamentary escape that "there were errors made." But, conceding to the will of the Republican caucus majority, Rep. Wilfred 'G. Bassett (R-Jackson) declared that "we must get these bills set for third reading (final passage) right now." He explain- ed that the committee deadline had expired and that the House's deadline was only 24 hours away. 'Not Satisfied'' After the Houe had disposed of the capital outlay and budget bills, Rep. Carroll Newton (R-Delton) conceded, "I'm not satisfied with the bills, but a number of Re- publicans just didn't approve of the committee's changes." The reversal of the ways and means committee recommenda- tions was considered a rare ac- tion. Bassett had indicated Tues- day that only about one in 20 bills reported out of committee is changed drastically on the floor. Legislators said, however, that 'Romney, whose prestige and $131 million request were at stake, had exerted little pressure. Lobbying Campain Qualified sources reported that a strong lobbying camaign had been carried on by both educa- tors and legislators who have state supported schools located in their home towns. The climax of their work will come today when the House is predicted to pass the bill by "a huge majority," Bursley indicated The operations bill requires F ROBERT SIDEMAN Grant 'G&S Theater Use The University Calendari Committee met yesterday and a proved the Gilbert and Sullh Society request for use of Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre t weekend of Nov. 18-21. It took the committee three s sions of discussion to come this decision because both So Show and G&S desired the the tre for that weekend. Since t Association of Producing Arti had already booked Mendelsse for all the other fall weekends to, that time, this was the .0: practical weekend open to b groups. Musket had previously decid to move its performance to t spring and was given the weeke of Feb. 24-27 for use of Me delssohn. To Perform in High School Soph Show has decided to h its performance at Ann Art High School the weekend of N9 12-14, because it would be I possible for them to move to spring, Robert Sideman, '67, gi eral co-chairman, said.

He. said that G2 was given the date for two reaso -"They have the kind of 1n formance that doesn't fit any o er theatre. Spring Show Impossible --"They give another perfor ance in the spring so they co not very well move 'up to spring and give two performari at that time." Michael Baad, '65, president G&S, said that the group thou that they should get the weeke they requested over the ot groups. "If we did not get the dates we would not be able to on a fall production at all, si we go out on the road and n the time to do so before fina he said. Both Sideman and Deanne Y '67, his co-chairman, are qu pleased with their choice of th tre for Sonh Show. "It has exc lent facilities, a fine stage and larger seating capacity than M delssohn," Sideman said. Further Fighting in Cyprus NICOSIA WP)-Reacting swiftly after a truce-breaking skirm- ish between Greek and Turkish Cypriots, the United Nations peace- keeping force planted 13 observation posts on the Kyrenia moun- tains yesterday in an effort to discourage further fighting. Roving UN patrols had failed to stem hostilities in that hot- test sector of a war which Secretary-General U Thant is trying now to end through a new nine- t point peace plan. Canadian infantry units rang- ing from 4 to 36 men manned the mountain posts. They were link- ed by scout cars and radio. A spokesman said the arrangement meant "a more active approach" by the UN force. The soldiers told newsmen they have warned both sides that if any shots are fired in their direc- tion, the fire will be returned 'immediately. In setting up the posts, they expelled armed men from several Greek and Turkish Cypriot villages flanking the Ky- SPEAKS AT SCHOLARS CONFERENCE: - Heyns Defines Faculty Statesman Role By ADALINE ADAMS "Throughout the entire Univer- sity, and most particularly in the faculty, there must be people who are concerned with the organiza- tion itself," Vice-President for Academic Affairs Roger W.
