DELEGATION OF POWER:
To Write Bylaw for SGC
I
By GLORIA BOWLES
/ The formulation of a new by-law which would clarify two
problems of delegation of powers, and thus make it possible for
Student Government Council to renew its demands for membership
statements from student organizations is currently being undertaken
by Prof. Robert G. Harris of the Law School.
Five sororities have not complied with Council demands for
presentation of membership statements. The Council may withdraw
recognition from those organizations whose charters contain dis-
criminatory clauses. If plans proceed as currently outlined, Council
should be able to make authori-
hU se tative demands for those state-
S hools se ments in the early spring.

ment Council President Steven

NEW HOUSE:
Sigma Phi
To Move
Sigma Phi fraternity has an-
nounced its intention to move to
a new site on Lincoln within the
next 18 months, vacating its pres-
ent house on N. Ingalls, where
the fraternity has been since 1899.
The present site was bought by
St. Joseph Mercy Hospital for
$180,000, but the fraternity has
right of occupancy for another
18 months. Construction of the
new house on a three-fourth acre
site will begin this summer after
the razing of the Phi Kappa Sigma
house now located there.
"The main considerations in our
decision to move is the distance
of our present house from campus,
and also that the hospital wants
our land and house for purposes
of expansion," Sigma Phi presi-
dent David Schapner, '63, said.
William L. Newnan, president
of the fraternity's alumni board
of directors, declared that the
"decision to build a new house
means that Sigma Phi is em-
phatically reaffirming its belief
in the need and value of the col-
lege fraternity.
"Rather than accepting the tra-
ditional role of a college fraternity,
we intend to create a new con-
cept embodying the modern re-
quirements of intellectual develop-
ment combined with the time-
proven desire to live in smaller
housing units, where man's quest
for closer brotherhood and privacy
can be honored,' Newnan con-
tinued.
Students and alumni members
of Sigma Phi are analyzing the
purposes and functions of a mod-
ern university fraternity, Newnan
said, before submitting require-
ments to an architect. This analy-
sis is proceeding with "deliberate
speed," he added, so that con-
struction can be started as soon
as the new site is ready.

Study Ra
Math Loss
ByBoredom
PITTSBURGH (I)-Boredom in
the classroom is costing this coun-
try millions of badly needed math-
ematicians, a Dartmouth college
professor said yesterday.
John E. Kemeny told a national
meeting of high school principals,
"if the new age of science is to
flourish in the United States .. .
a much larger percentage of math-
ematically talented students must
be encouraged to pursue this tal-
ent."
"Many more able students are
bored out of" mathematics than
frightened out of it,' he said in a
speech. He listed the three main
causes of losing talented mathe-
matics students as "boredom, poor
instruction and an outdated cur-
riculum."
The situation has improved in
recent years, Kemeny said, but as
recently as 1950 "mathematics in-
struction in the United States was
about 150 years behind mathema-
tical research . .. our high school
mathematics programs did not
even mention the great discoveries
of the 19th century."
Grade school teachers, in par-
ticular, Kemeny said, are "the
product of past sins in mathema-
tical education: therefore, more
often than not, their weakest sub-
ject is arithmetic. It is also true
that the mathematical education
of grade school teachers has been
scandalously neglected."
When a good grade school stu-
dent finishes his arithmetic in
record time, Kemeny said, "the
teacher will be slightly annoyed,
and will do one of two things:
"Either she will give him ten
more of the same problems to do,
which is sure to bore him to tears,
or she will tell him, 'Well, now that
you have gotten arithmetic out
of the way, you can have some
fun. Go do some extra reading'."
Kemeny said there should be
special classes for talented mathe-
matics students, especially at the
high school level. In the average
classroom, he said, the teacher
must spend so much time with
poor students he has no time for
those with special talents.
And, he added, the teacher
must expect mathematically tal-
ented students to do better work
than the teachers half the time
and better than the textbook one
time out of 10.

them a notorious Communist

Borders Still Sealed
Iraq's borders remained sealed,
but indications mounted that the
pro-Nasser young army officers
who toppled Kassem's four and a
half year-old regime Friday were
masters of the situation.
Baghdad radio announced the
lifting from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily
of the 'round-the-clock curfew
imposed Friday, and said Iraqi
airports and trains would resume
operations during daylight hours
Sunday. Schools were scheduled
to open Monday.

tend diplomatic recognition of the
provisional regime of President
Abdel Salam Mohammed Aref, a
staunch admirer of -President
Gamal Abdel Nasser of the United
Arab Republic.
Syria on Bandwagon
Curiously, Syria was among the
first. Its leaders had been reported
deeply concerned that the Iraqi
coup could bring only trouble to
their anti-Nasser government.
Jordan, too, was among those
giving early recognition, even
though the boost the Iraqui re-

Hussein and other monarchies,

Saudi Arabia and Iran, where the

Others recognizing the rebels in-
cluded Algeria, the United Arab
Republic, Yemen and Kuwait. The
little sheikdom of Kuwait, with
one of the largest oil reserves in
the world, was claimed by Kassem.
What actually was going on in
side Iraq could not be independ-

The leaders of the revolt appear
to be a combination of anti-Com-

Nationalists. Although admirers of
Nasser, they are believed to favor
Arab unity through a federation
of states.
Nevertheless, the turn of Iraq
toward Nasser is expected to en-

Renew Efforts
To End Strike
In New York
NEW YORK (I)-A member of
'the Presidential board that helped
settle the recent longshoremen's
strike joined yesterday in talks
aimed at ending the city's 64-day
newspaper blackout.
The board member, Theodore
W. Kheel, not acting as a board
member on this occasion, con-
ferred separately at city hall with
publishers and striking printers in
their contract dispute.
Kheel's presence coincided with
a visit here by President John F.
Kennedy, but there was no indi-
wives work part time without pay.
Surplus Population
The schools usually have very
little trouble with finding non-
professional help. For example,
the Detroit school board had its
choice of 610 qualified persons for
16 positions. In Bound Brook, N.J.,
49 persons applied to fill eight
positions.
Wider use of these aides is some-
what hindered by states laws such
as the one in Illinois. It states
that a teacher must be present
in every class. This includes such
classes as study halls.
With the increasing numbers
entering the schools each year,
there seems to be little basis be-
hind this fear. The total number
of public school attendance (sec-
ondary and below) is expected to
reach 45 million by 1970.
NEA Report
This figure is 6.9 million above
the present school attendance ss
reported by the National Educa-
tion Association. The Association
predicts that it will take 150,000
more teachers annually to meet
the rising demands. This latter
figure is 20,000 teachers above the
number that is graduating an-
nually from college.
Some teachers object to use of
nonprofessional help. They claim
that the aides interfere with the
traditional rapport between teach-
er and student. A number add
that they had 'to go over the
work of these aides anyway.
Supporters argue that the pres-
ent shortcomings' can be over-
come. through the cooperation and
help of the teachers themselves.

bid for pledging within two weeks.
All fraternities will have open houses from 2-5 p.m. and 7-10 p.m.
today, and 7-10 p.m. tomorrow and Tuesday. To be eligible for a
bid, a man must have visited no fewer than eight houses, by Tuesday
when open houses end one in each of five area districts and any
three others. The districts are defined in the rush manual and appear
on all rushee cards, Interfraternity Council president John Meyer-
holz, '63, explained.
Meyerholz also emphasized the value of the rushing counselors,
and said, "I sincerely. hope that the rushees will use the counselor
to whom he has been assigned. The counselor will have information'
on the fraternity system as a whole and on any particular house
as well. Any rushee who seeks information or wants to double-check
statistics should consult his rush counselor."
The counselors are all members of the fraternity system on this
campus.
Even though sign-up for rush is "informally" over, any man who
still plans to rush can register by calling IFC rush chairman Frank
Lude, Meyerholz said.
