The group set up a. committee to study the implications of such a policy and to present a motion to the Fraternity Presidents' As- sembly next Thursday. It would then have to be approved by the Dean of Men's Office and the Sub- committee on Discipline. Patterned within the time limi- tations of the recent Inter-Quad- rangle Council motion that would allow women in the men's resi- dence halls from noon until one- half hour before that night's per- mission, the yet-to-be-determined aspects of the move include: List Aspects 1) Whether women will be al- lowed outside of the communal areas of houses into men's rooms. 2) Whether freshmen women will be included in the change. 3) If the new policy would de- stroy the basic rationalizations behind registration of parties and the requirement for chaperones. 4) Specific means of implemen- tation through administrative channels. Actual Situation IFC President Robert Peterson, '62, said that a revised policy would "recognize the actual situa- tion." - Present regulations allow women only at registered social functions or. at fraternities that have a housemother. Gordon Elicker, '62, said that he could see "no reasons other than a paternalistic attitude" behind the University restrictions. Last Year Assistant to the Dean of Men in change of fraternities Lou Rice noted that last year, when the rules governing women in men's apartments were changed, several IFC officials then expressed the opinion that fraternities would not desire similar action. However, Peterson indicated that "All a new regulation would do is allow each house to decide if they want women guests and if so, when and where."

SEND QUESTIONNAIRES: Begin Study on Fraternities By DAVID MARCUS' A class in survey research has begun work on a study aimed at comparing and integrating various attitudes toward fraternitiesr Prof. Angus Campbell, Director of the Survey Research Center and teacher of the class, said yesterday. The survey, originally suggested and partially financed by In- terfraternity Council, will be based on 1075 questionnaires sent ,out by mail to randomly selected "}Y: V. Reds Outline * * * * * New Position On Germany USSR Considers E bli ~ Williams Sets Warning On Policy of Apartheid Forecaster Sees Boom For1962 By MARK BLUCHER A nationally known economist predicted continued economic re- -covery for 1962 although this would not take the form of a super-boom with greatly increased government expenditures and in- creases in equipment outlay. Gerhard Colm, chief economist for the National Planning Associa- tion, told an audience of econo- mists at the University's Annual Conference on the Economic Out- look that "there seems to be gen- eral agreement that the momen- tum of the recovery will carry through 1962." Colm's prediction was based on' an expected increase in the outlay' for plant equipment and increased consumer spending. 1961 Recovery The 1961 recovery was supported by stepped-up government defense and non - defense expenditures, Colm said. These, in turn, were "reinforced by the swing from inventory liquidation to inventory accumulation plus a moderate in- crease in consumer expenditures, and producer's equipment." The president's choice of a short- run government expenditure pro- gram indicated his belief that an appeal to Congress for an emer- gency expenditure program and tax cuts might hurt chances of later Congressional approval of. long-range programs in national defense, space exploration, and other areas. Colm said "the question is raised whether the short - run policies adopted presumably for tactical reasons may not bring about an- other recession in 1963 and there- by come into outright conflict with the strategic objectives of a con- tinuing rise in economic growth." Foresee Balance Both Colm and some members of the President's official family. foresaw a balanced budget in 1963 unless there was a very large increase in military expenditures. However, Colm expressed the fear that the President may be forcedl to submit a balanced budged under1 circumstances where this might not be possible. "This in turn might have serious consequences1 for the rate of growth and for3 achieving the tasks which the na- tion has undertaken. I undergraduate men last night. The class, Sociology 511, select- ed this survey from those plans submitted by groups or organiza- tions desiring such a project in one area or another. First Study Prof. Campbell noted that this is "the first serious inquiry on attitudes toward fraternities" with which he is familiar. IFC President Robert Peterson, '62, said that the areas to be covered by the survey were deter- mined through cooperation be- tween IFC and the class. He added that the project had to be considerably narrowed from what IFC had originally wanted, dut to limitations of time and personnel. Two Parts The questionnaire is divided into two parts, the first dealing with personal background and the sec- ond with attitudes toward fra- ternities. Specifically, the first part in- quires into such background ques- tions as whether the subject comes from a small town or big city, whether either of his parents was an affiliate, whether he is a fra- ternity member, where he is pres- ently living, whether he has friends in fraternities and in what activities he participates. Bias Clauses The second inquires into feelings toward vias clauses, whether he thinks that fraternities raise or lower the intellectual and moral level of the campus, what charac- teristics he attributes more to fraternity men than to other male students and whether he thinks fraternities will increase or de- crease in importance in the next 20 years. U.S., Britain Oppose Plan' UNITED NATIONS R) -- The United States and Britain yester- day opposed an African proposal that the United Nations declare Africa a denuclearized neutral zone. Despite Western opposition the UN's main political committee ap- peared certain to approve both the African proposal and an Asian- African move to sound out UN members on calling an interna- tional conference to ban use of nuclear weapons for war. Both have strong Asian-African and complee Soviet bloc support. PROF. ANGUS CAMPBELL ..heads study SGC: - 'New Council Starts Work Nominations of new officers headed a full slate of business at a special meeting of Student Gov- ernment Council yesterday. The meeting was held to seat the six newly-elected members of the Council, Thomas Brown, '63, Richard G'Sell, '64E, Sharon Jef- frey, '63, Robert Ross, '63, Steven Stockmeyer, '63, and John Vos, '64. Richard Nohl, '62BAd, was the only nominee for the post of coun- cil president which he presently holds. Per Hanson, '62, was nomi- nated for the position of executive vice-president, but did not accept. No one else was nominated for this post. Other Nominations Vos and G'Sell were nominated for the position of administrative vice-president and Miss Jeffrey and Brown were nominees for the treasurer's post. Nominations may still be accepted until Wednesday. In other action the Council tabled a motion introduced by for- mer Council member David Croys- dale, '63, which would have limited expressions of student opinion and Council discussions to topics other than national or international is- sues. SGC moved to invite Vice-Presi- dent for Student Affairs James A. Lewis to discuss his powers to veto Council action on the grounds that it is "unreasonable." Postpone Report Discussion of women's confiden- tial reports was postponed until a qualified member of the Office of the Dean of Women could be found to discuss the reports with the Council. Also, Miss Jeffrey was appointed to the Steering Committee for the Conference on the University. Former council member Arthur Rosenbaum, '62, was selected to attend the Citizens Committee for the United Nations conference in New York along with Nohl and Betsy Carroll. IQC Delays Radio Station final Decision The Inter - Quadrangle Council, last night again postponed final; vote on the motion which would "relinquish and dissolve all legal,j financial, and political authority" over radio station WCBN. In other action, the council1 approved by unanimous voice vote1 a proposal to "allow graduate and transfer students who have not lived in residence halls" to become associate members of the quad-1 rangles.; A report was also introduced from the committee which has been studying the policy concern-; ing women's visiting privileges in Esta using Pact (EDITOR'S NOTE: The Associated Press bureau chief in Moscow, Preston Grover, a foreign corres- pondent for more than 20 years and observer of the political scenes on four continents, reports in the fol- lowing dispatch details on Eas1- West dealings that could take the heat off Berlin. His dispatch was sent to the United States via Lon- don starting at 1:30 a.m. today, Moscow Standard Time.) By PRESTON GROVER Associated Press Staff Writer MOSCOW-A radical change in Soviet policy aimed at promoting a settlement of the Berlin and German questions was reported in authoritative circles yesterday. The new position has been con- veyed to the three Western al- lies and to West Germany. It was reported here as follows: The Soviet government is pre- pared to work out an advance agreement with the West on a new status for West Berlin guar- anteeing both its freedom and freedom of access to it from the West. When this agreement is worked out satisfactorily, an ar- rangement should be made to re- spect East German sovereignty. Final Step Only as a final step would con- clusion of a peace treaty be taken up. An outline of the new position appears to fall into a four-part consecutive schedule: 1) The four occupying powers should reach an agreement on a new status for West Berlin which guarantees the freedom of its in- habitants and the freedom of com- munication between West Berlin and the West. Separate Agreement 2) A separate agreement should be reached between East Germany and the Soviet Union by which East Germany would undertake to respect the new status of Berlin and accept the guarantees con- tained in it covering freedom of people and of communication. 3) The Western powers should agree to respect the sovereignty of East Germany, and West Ger- many should specifically accept this agreement. 4) Finally a peace treaty should be worked out with Germany. Eastman Says Final Exams Aid Learning By CAROLYN WINTER Prof. Arthur Eastman of thei English department gave his views on final exams at an opening meeting of the literary college steering committee. "Exams should be used as a learning device, a means of prod- ding the student into applyingf himself to his material," Prof. Eastman said.' The final exam, he said, is a set date toward which the student prepares. It is the last exam he takes and shows the improvement and integration the student has achieved. Exams, he said, are not for ad- ministrative records, but for the purpose of aiding the student and instructor in the learning process. The exam period and the whole credit hour system are unsatisfac- tory at present because they often defeat the ideals of integration and balance between independence and discipline. Within the framework of the present system, he suggested that exams be rescheduled to utilize the full exam period and to emphasize the latter part of the week rather1 than the first few days. In this wayE students would have more time to study before exams. The open meeting was called by the steering committee to find out student and faculty reaction to a] letter sent by the committee to the executive committee of the literary. school proposing alternatives to+ the present final exam system. 1 " To Africa, U-N, -Daily-Ed Langs ON CAMPUS--Assistant Secretary of State G. Mennen Williams explains African problems to a University student. In speeches last night he condemned apartheid and asked more U.S. aid to Africa. Secretary Warnsof Drift By A frica to Soviet Bloc, By MICHAEL HARRAH The threat of foreign control of their economy will drive the African nations in the direction of the Soviet bloc. That was the evaluation of, the challenge to America in Africa by Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs G. Mennen Williams, as he spoke to the Conference on Economic Outlook last night in the Michigan Union. "Once government has taken control of a specific sector of the econ- World' Cites Three Major Needs Of Africans Says U.S. To Support Freedom, Growth Of Emerging Nations By KENNETH WINTER Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs G. Mennen Wil- liams yesterday declared that the United States "will say to the South Africans, the United Na- tions and the world," that this nation will do all it can to end apartheid. Williams termed apartheid "a virus which poisons all of Africa.' He said that "we must vigor- ously dissociate ourselves with apartheid." He warned that if this strict policy of white supremacy continues, it will soon result in a "cataclysm" on the African con- tinent. To Oppose However, the United States would probably continue to op- pose economic sanctions against South Africa in the United Na- tions, he said, because it felt oth- er methods would be more direct and effective. The African's desire for dignity and equality was one of three ma- jor needs that Williams described See Related Story, Page 3 to the Conference on Economic Outlook and to residents of Wen- ley House. He said the other two primary African goals are for independence from colonial powers and socio- economic development. U.S. Respected The Secretary said the United States was respected in Africa for its tradition of freedom, but we are often distrusted by new nations because of our affiliation with colonial powers. He also cited American hopes that negotiations between French President Charles de Gaulle and the FLN will result in Algerian independence, plus protection of minority rights in Algeria, Portugal's Determination He said the situation in An- gola is aggravated by Portugal's determination to keep the colony, and he cautioned against demand- ing immediate Angol'an independ- ence. He said that the , population must first be educated, for An- gola would be left in a chaos "worse than the Congo." omy, the possibility of transfer to private hands is small," he said. "But as African leaders fear foreign domination, they tend to- ward government operation of necessary industries." He said that Africans are too im- patient for progress to follow any "go-slow-and-learn" policy, and so they turn to the Communist claims of experience in govern- ment-controlled industry, to avoid foreign intrusion. Williams cited four ways that America could help the emerging nations of Africa, without imping- ing on their autonomy: 1) "Give the African govern- ments control in growth and plan- ning their progress. 2) "Encourage local private en- terprise by h:,pmg set up devetop- ment banks for small loans to business-and agriculture. 3) "Encourage the co-operative movement, which would be of great value to African agricul- tural needs today. 4) "As American businessmen increasingly interest themselves in Africa, they can convey the spirit of lively competition that is so typical of our country, but a rarity in Africa." Dean Gives Resignation In noting why Assistant Dean of Women Catherina Bergeon could not discuss women's non-academic evaluations at the Student Gov- ernment Council meeting yester- day, Richard Nohl, '62BAd, presi- dent of SGC, said she had tendered her resignation from _the Univer- sity. Mrs. Bergeon was asked to at- tend the special SGC meeting which seated the new members and speak on the Women's Confi- dential Evaluations. When she was approached by Nohl she had already talked to council members about the evaluation. "She felt she couldn't express the views of the Office of the Dean of Women because it is in a period of transition and she tenders her resignation," Nohl said. Mrs. Bergeon has held the posi- tion of assistant dean in charge of women's residence hall person- nel. PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT: To Issue Business Quarterly By CAROLINE DOW Four abstracts on business prob- lems will be featured in the first issue of the Bureau of Industrial Relations "Management of Per- sonnel Quarterly" which makes its debut today. The magazine features four ar- ticles by industrial relations ex- perts on various phases of man- agement. This is the first issue of a quarterly magazine which will reprint speechs given at the BIR Personnel Management Sem- inars and other selections of in- terest to the business community. "Our objective in this publica- tion is to bridge the world of the academician and the industrialist, the theorist and the practitioner," Albert Schroeder III, managing editor said in the forward.

The modern executive goes no further because some-. thing radically different is a risk to his position and power poten- tial, he says.

Prof. Jennings also deplores the cult of the "limited offensive" which requires an individual to steer clear of engaging causes and to be pleasant and calming at all times. Bureaucracy's Role It is difficult for the typical executive, enfogged by bureau- cracy, to see or gain a sense of mission, which would allow hij to seek creativity and see the or- ganization in context, Prof. Jen- nings explains. The executive has a habit of escaping from thinking by being busy or in conference every min- ute of the day. In addition, he abstracts himself from reality by "discussion" and dwelling on in- tuition, hunchs and latest research statistics, he said. BOA CONSTRICTOR: East Quadrangle Gets Visitor By FREDERICK ULEMAN The visiting regulations have not been changed, but the staff is "very. good about that sort of thing," Louis R. Jacoby, '62, of East Quadrangle said. Jacoby, president of Greene House, was not referring to the policy concerning University wom- en, but rather the regulation pro- hibiting pets in the rooms of quadrangle residents. His guests: two boa constrictors. Originally residents of British Honduras, the pets were flown to Ann Arbor "just for a visit," Jacoby said. Resident Advisor for Green House, Brian C.
