The petition needed at least 1000 signatures and is now being checked by the Credentials and Rules Committee. It was started last week after a motion to re- mand the question of USNSA membership to the students did not receive the necessary two thirds vote of the Council mem- bers. To be adopted, at least 3000 students or 75 per cent of those participating in the coming SOC election, whichever figure is great- er, must vote on the referendum. SRC Gets Low-Down t 7 iYit L lNYC T ]At , - "Il 1' I -it tul By ELLEN ,SILVERMAN A fraternity man is one who is more active in athletics and extra- curricular activities, who has more dates, who receives lower grades, who is "well-dressed, well-to-do, aggressive and sophisticated." Stereotype? No, not basically true, according to a recent Tni- versity survey done by the Survey Research Center. The survey is an analysis of attitudes of University undergraduate men toward fra- ternities. Two groups of men were given questionnaires to determine their PROF. ANGUS CAMPBELL ..' fraternity attitudes attitudes regarding fraternities at the University. The survey was sponsored by Inter - Fraternity Council and the SRC. It was un- der the direction of Prof. Angus Campbell of SRC. Random Sample Based on a random sample of 830 men whose names were taken from last year's student directory, the survey reveals that fraternity men come from the same kind of homes as the non-fraternity man Penalize MSU Foes of Ban, EAST LANSING (R)--Michigan State University has taken dis- ciplinary action against six stu- dent organizations and six stu- dents charged with violating a regulation requiring approval of all speakers invited to the canpus by student groups. The six organizations werne re- primanded by letter by the Com- mittee on Student Affairs and warned that any further violations will result in the loss of their charters. The six individuals were placed on strict disciplinary pro- bation, effective immediately. Warnings were sent to the All- University Student Government,, the Humanist Society, the Young Democrats, the Young Socialists, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the Campus United Nations. Howard Penalized Robert Howard, AUSG presi- dent, who had been invited to serve on a committee to clear prospective speakers and had re- fused to serve, was one of those placed on probation. Students placed under probation are dis- qualified from holding office in any student organization. A number of student groups formed a conference of campus lubs in October and said they planned to test the regulation on bringing in speakers who had not, been officially cleared. Three members of the Student Non-vio- lence Coordinating Committee of Detroit were invited to speak at the campus union building on Oct. 18. ['ill y IIC1I but the member is somewhat more likely to have college-educated parents. When asked whether "it is a good thing there are fraternities at the University" nine out of ten fraternity men said yes. Seniors were considerably "more likely to have doubts ,on this matter than freshmen but even they are over- whelmingly favorable," the sur- vey reports. There is less support for the system from non-members. A large proportion of these men felt that the good and bad features of fraternities are about balanced. An increasing amount of criticism was found as men increased in years at the University. Future? Both groups of tnen regarding the future of the fraternity sys- tem responded similarly. "The most common opinion expressed is that the fraternities will have about the same importance on the campus 20 years from now as they have at the present time." However, about half of the sen- iors, both affiliated and unaf- filiated, expect fraternities on campus to decline in importance in the next ten years. About half of the fraternity members saw no difference be- tween fraternities and the rest of the campus in regard to "intel- lectual emphasis" but the propor- tion who felt the fraternities have greater intellectual emphasis de- creases "sharply" after the fresh- man year. Social Skills 'An overwhelming number of the affiliated men feel that fraterni- ties do more to teach social skills and confidence than other hous- ing units do," the survey notes. Nearly half of the fraternity men queried felt that restrictive policies based on race or religion, when followed, "have little effect on campus life. The remainder tend to evaluate the effect more negatively than positively. Non- fraternity men are strongly in- clined to evaluate the effects neg- atively." Religious preferences of the two groups did not differ. Non- fraternity members more often listed "other" or "no" religion when asked to specify a prefer- ence from a ,list of "Protestant, Catholic, Jewish, other or none." Response Association The survey questionnaire in- cluded a list of adjectives which the survey men were asked to respond to. Commonly associated with fraternity men were the ad- jectives, "well-dressed, well-to-do and enthusiastic." Associated with non-fraternity men were "individ- ualistic, introverted, studious and liberal." University men on the whole are largely from urban areas, the study reports, buttwicethespro- portion of non-fraternity men as fraternity men come from vil- lages or farms. The occupations of the fathers of these men also differs. A "somewhat larger per- centage" of fathers of non- members are blue collar workers. Fraternity men show a strong preference for retaining some form of hazing. Freshmen are least in favor while sophomores support the attitude most. In the non- member group both freshmen and sophomores are more in favor of some form of hazing, although a total 38 per cent of non-affiliates felt that it should be abolished. To Withdraw Complaints Men's residence halls' represent- atives announced recently that they would not file a complaint against the decision in the Home- coming display contest, men's res- idence hall division.J Last February, Council voted to hold a referendum on this same question. It was to have been held with the spring election that March. However, the following week. SGC rescinded its action and said that "USNSA affiliation shall re- ceive final consideration" between the summer national congress and the coming election. Council re- considered its action because it feared t h a t extremist groups would , exploit its concern with USNSA. The Council also set other poli- cies dealing with its relations with USNSA and the National Student Congress. In connection with the refe en- dum, Council will be asked to grant recognition to two ad hoc committees, Better Off Out and Friends of USNSA. Hare System In addition, Thomas Brown, "63 BAd, will introdude a motion to alter the Hare system, the court system used in SGC elections. Brown's motion is intended to les- sen the randomness that occurs whenever ballots are transferred from one candidate to another. The proposal was introduced last May, but defeated. Council will also consider a mo- tion by Sharon Jeffrey, '63, con- cerning the Ann Arbor Fair Hous- ing Legislation Committee. The proposal asks SGC to recommend that the committee "adopt local anti - discrimination ordinances covering publicly assisted housing, multiple rental units, lots and houses in developments, lending institutions, licensed real estate dealers and classified advertising." In addition, the motion asks. the Council to recommend that the legislation include a strong and effective means of enforcement. Investigates Fraud Law In the fourth in a series of talks which constitute the 1962 Thomas M. Cooley lectures, Prof. Seaborne Davies of the University of Liverpool examined "the jungle of the present law of fraud" in England for a Law School audi- ence yesterday. Basically, the problem lies in a too-narrow definition of fraud. Traditional definition of the of- fense involves the deprivation of physical property and the intent of permanent deprivation. Gaps in Law "That simple idea left vast gaps in the law," Prof. Davies said "For some 500 years courts and legisla- tures have been trying to close them haphazardly" - with the result that the present English fraud statutes are a "vast ram- shackle structure." These defects have led to a mul- tiplication of. differences between different fraudulent offenses, he continued. Because intent or the "physical" sense of property are not so easily measured, a maze of distinctions developed on secon- dary considerations such as the naturecofsthe property taken, the manner in which it was taken, the place where it was taken, and the type of person who took it. Simple Law To get the law "back to order and relative simplicity," Prof. Davies declared, would require a new start, "with a basic definition which recognizes that the cardin- al feature is the deprivation of the owner of his property and not a host of incidental matters" Prof. Davies' concluding lecture in the Cooley series will take place at 4:15 p.m. today in Rm. 100 Hutchins Hall. 'U' Plans Chrysler Research By DEBORAH BEATTIE The University has made an agreement with Chrysler Corp. to supply research staff and faculty members for consultation services, research investigation and engi- neering assistance, the President's office announced Monday. University assistance will be available in space and defense fields and fields of mutual interest such as navigation and guidance, materials, optics, communications and systems analysis. The agreement provides that each study request will be paid for by Chrysler Corp. according to the requirements for time, tal- ent and facilities. A retainer has been provided by Chrysler Corp. to cover initial administrative ex- penses in setting up the program. The principal administrator of the project is the Institute of Science and Technology. Special research and develop- ment studies in defense and space oriented projects will be presented to the University by Chrysler Corp. The studies may be on spe- cific projects in connection with specific contracts or they may involve research concepts not re- lated to any immediate program. If the contracts are successful or if Chrysler Corp. wants to go into greater depth, the University then can perform with the corpor- ation as part of a sponsored re- search prgram. President Harlan Hatcher de- clared, "We are pleased with this research agreement and hope that it may serve as a pattern for other Michigan industries. The Univer- sity is ready to cooperate with other firms interested in broaden- ing the economic base of the state." Discussing the reason for this new agreement, Robert E. Bur- roughs, director of research ad- ministration, explained that one of the missions of the University is service to the state. "The state is sorely in need of support for a diversification of industry. We must help to get industrial con- cerns to build new products be- cause the state can't depend for- ever on the automobile industry," he said.. "While this agreement may not foster the type of academic re- search which some people want, it will help in communication be- tween the University and indus- trial concerns." l - To Establish Committee NEW YORK ()-The formation of a "committee for the Monroe Doctrine" to protest the terms on which President John F. Kennedy settled the Cuban dispute with So- viet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev was announced yesterday by Ed- ward V. Rickenbacker. Specifically, the protest is against the assurances given by Kennedy that Cuba would not be invaded if the Soviets agreed to dismantle missile bases on the Caribbean island. The New York Times, which re- ported formation of the group, said the committee hopes to make a national issue of the assurances given to Khrushchev. William F. Buckley, Jr., editor in chief of National Review and one of the founders of the committee, was quoted as saying the group would ask all Congressmen to sponsor its declaration that the President's assurances were a re- nunciation of the Monroe Doc- trine. US. Arm Temporarily Ceases S Blockade on TRAPP FAMILY-The presentation of "The Sound of Music," a musical by Rodgers and Ham- merstein, at 8 p.m. today in Hill Aud. ushers in a new era for the University Musical Society. This play, based on a true story about a governess who teaches her seven wards to sing and wins overt the respect and finally the love of the widowed father, is the first Broadway production ever offered in Hill Aud. Jeannis Carson will star as the governess, Maria, the same role she played on Bread- way; John van Dreelan will play Captain George von Trapp. This is the first attraction of the 1962-63 Extra Series. SLOWING OFFENSIVE: Indian Troops Strike at Reds By The Associated Press NEW DELHI- Indian troops! struck back at the. invading Chi- nese with a barrage of mortar fire yesterda yand moved up tanks to the gateway of the Assam Plains amid signs the Communist offensive was slowing down - at least temporarily. Beaten back repeatedly since the Communists launched their drive over rugged Himalayan mountain passes 10 days ago, Indian guards who manned frontier outposts only with rifles showed stiffening re- sistance as regulars and heav ier weapon support emerged. A Nehru, government defense ministry spokesman, in giving the first report of Indian mortar fir- ing, said the military position ie- mained basically unchanged except for loss of one outpost on the Tibetan border in the center of India's northeast frontier. Take Offensive The Indians were even .howing signs of going over on the offen- sive for the first time with re- ports of forward probing actions against Communist strongpoints. An American and British arms airlift, expected to get into full swing by the end of the week, rais- ed the spirits of the Indian nation.j Both the United States and Britain have given Prime Minister Nehru's government a virtual blank check to order the veapons it needs to check the Chinese an, the Himalayas-and even drive them back across the disputed 1,- 500-mile frontier. The United States is making arrangements to supply arms aid to India as quickly as possible, the State Department said yesterday. Press officer Lincoln White said the timing of deliveries c f arms asked by India, however, will de- pend on the kind asked for, the United States ability to deliver them and the needs of the Indian armed forces. In Tezpur, the Chinese Commu- nists are throwing masses of troops at Indian outposts - some even without weapons, a front line report said yesterday. Indian Account An Indian major's account from the battle front said some of the Red soldiers in the followup waves waited for their comrades to fall dead or wounded and then picked up their rifles and submachine guns to charge on. Peiping radio said yesterday that Chinese troops captured more than five Indian strongpoints in the Western sector of the border. The broadcast repeated claims the Indians attacked and said "when their thrusts were blunted, the aggressive Indian troops took to their heels towards India." The Soviet Union, after offering the Nehru government MIG fight- ers, apparently has reneged on the deal. It has clearly come out in support of Peiping's territorial claims. There is a feeling of confidence in India based primarily on the Indian ability to deploy tanks in the lower reaches of the Hima- layas. The Chinese are not ex- pected to be able to drag tanks over the mountain passes and get them down through the jungle. Defense lines are now being prepared especially in the North- east where the greatest danger lies. Mountain Ranges In Ladakh, at the western-end The Sound of Music Cuba Thant, Castro Open Talks At Havana Conference To Ease Nuclear War Threat On East-West Front By The Associated Press WASHINGTON - The United States temporarily suspended its arms blockade and aerial surveil- lance of Cuba yesterday as Unit- ed Nations chief U Thant opened crucial talks with Prime Minister Fidel Castro in Havana that can ease further the threat of an East- West nuclear war. The two United States moves formed a favorable backdrop for the mission of the acting United Nations secretary-general to set up machinery for inspecting the promised withdrawal from Cuba of Soviet missile bases and bomb- ers. There were reports the missile site construction, which precipi- tated the crisis, had been halted. Thant Arrives Thant flew into Havana early in the afternoon, was greeted at Rancho Boyeros Airport by Cuban Foreign Minister Raul Roa and then motored to Castro's official residence where talks began imme- diately. Thant is to remain two days- the period of the suspension of the blockade and aerial checks. There was no official aumnce- met from Washington that Rus- sia had halted work on the mis- sile sites, but highly placed in- formants said such assurances werereceived Monday. The source of the assurances was not disclosed. No Confirmation Likewise the Pentagon would not say whether reconnaissance photos taken Monday confirmed that work had stopped or that disman- tling had begun. Arthur Sylvester, assistant sec- retary of defense, told newsmen of the temporary suspension of re- connaissance flights and gave this version of the delay in analyzing Monday's photos, "Analysis of aer- ial pictures entails a meticulous review of the material disclosed and a painstaking comparison of that material with previously ob- tained material in order to obtain accurate findings. One has to be careful about making conclusions because there are certain evalua- tion procedures to be observed in order to insure accuracy of the results obtained." Definite word as to the success or failure of the mission of the acting UN secretary-general is not expected until after he returns to New York, probably late today, but the climate for a successful conclu- sion of his mission was made more favorable by the reports that Rus- sia has halted construction on the bases and by two United States conciliatory moves. Negotiate on Dismantling Of Rockets HAVANA () - U Thant and Prime Minister Fidel Castro talked two hours and ten minutes yester- day on dismantling of Soviet rock- et bases in Cuba and a general settlement of the United States- Soviet-Cuban crisis. A Thant spokesman described the first round in the negotiation as " very useful." They meet again at 10 a.m. today. The acting United Nations Sec- retary-General flew to Havana to arrange for confirmation of re- moval of the Soviet-installed mis- sile bases under agreements of Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrush- chev and President John F. Ken- nedy. The spokesman for the Secre- tary-General commented that all points raised in Thant's letter ac- cepting Castro's invitation to visit Cuba were discussed at the initial meeting. -- Claims Early Knowledge! Of Cuban M issi le Bases WASHINGTON (VP)-Sen. Hugh Scott (R-Pa) said last night that he and other Republicans had "very hard information" early in September that the Russians were building missile bases in Cuba,I and said the same information was available to the Kennedy administration.

Crisis Remains hICaribbeani MOSCOW (/)--The official gov- ernment newspaper Izvestia said yesterday that despite Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev's peace ef- forts in the Cuban crisis, "dark clouds still hang over the Carib- bean sea." "It would be premature to ex- clude the possibility of new pro- vocations-against Cuba," it said in a front-page editorial.
