Bingley Tells Judie Power By LAURENCE KIRSHBAUM Director of Student Activities and Organizations John Bingley yesterday explained two sections in the Student Government Coun- cil membership motion which em- power Joint Judiciary Council to suspend students who release con- fidential information in handling student group membership state- ments. The sections, which specifically apply to members of the Inter- fraternity Council and SGC mem- bership' committees, give Joint Judic the power to try and to penalize' violators "up to and in- cluding suspension from the Uni- versity for one semester." According to its constitution, Joint Judic does not itself have the authority to suspend students. It may, however, recommend sus- pension of a student to its judicial superior, the faculty-student Com- mittee on Standards and Conduct. Superseded by Judie Bingley explained that the membership motion sections are superseded by the Joint Judic constitution and hence will not actually give the suspension power to Joint Judic alone. He noted that the references to Joint Judic in the membership motion are intended as "micro- scopic statements" of the fact that the entire Joint Judic procedural setup will apply when violations cases are brought before it. This means that Joint Judie could only recommend suspension to the standards and conduct committee, he explained. Third in a Series The standards and conduct committee will be the third body to examine secrecy violations,. since Joint Judic will get these violations cases only after SGC has reviewed and impeached a member of either membership committee for revealing confi- dential material. In the event that SGC impeach- es a member of one of these com- mittees, the case shall go directly to Joint Judic, Bingley said. It would not even go through the Joint Judic referral committee, which serves as a clearing house for other disciplinary c a s e s brought before Joint Judic. Nor could the case be taken by Vice-President for Student Af- fairs James A. Lewis' disciplinary committee as a case "of a serious but delicate nature," since "the authority in this case has been specifically given to Judic," Bing- ley said. Removal Clause The first section in question reads in part: "Any present or past voting member of the SOC Membership Committee .. . or member of the Tribunal may be removed for releasing any infor- mation to the public.... Charges for such a violation may be brought to SGC by any member of Council or any member of the organization involved. "A majority vote of the Coun- cil shall constitute impeachment, and the case shall be tried by the Joint Judiciary Council. Any ver- dict of guilty shall result in auto- matic removal from the commit- tee, and Joint Judiciary Council may also impose any penalty up to and including suspension from the University for one semester." The second section reads almost identically, with the exception that the name of the IFC Mem- bership Committee is substituted for that of the SGC Membership Committee. as the SGC committee on referral Affairs James A. Lewis have com- and Vice-President for Student pleted consideration of objections raised to Council's motion on "Membership Selection in Student Organizations." The motion, recently passed by Council, establishes rules and pro- cedures for the regulation of dis- criminatory membership selection practices. in student groups. Temporary Delay Scheduled to take effect Oct. 1, the motion was temporarily delay- ed when the referral committee ordered a stay of action to allow itself more time to consider the final draft of the motion. The committee, which functions in an advisory capacity to Lewis, is charged with investigating juris- dictional questions or procedural irregularities that might be in- volved in an SGC motion. Brown indicated that officer in- statement would be held up for a two-week period or "until such time as the question raised by the committee has been resolved." Tribunal Question The committee had raised a question about the composition of the membership tribunal, which, as outlined in the motion, would include two students and one non-; student member of the University. Recently, the committee also an- nounced its intent to study thea exclusion of the referral commit- tee from access to confidential papers made available to Lewis and to a membership committee. Joining the regular members atj the Council table yesterday were, the eight newly-elected Council members. Officially seated at the special meeting were SGC Administrative' Vice-President Thomas Smithson, Elaine Resmer, '64, Howard Schechter, '66, incumbent Russell Epker, '64BAd, SGC Treasurer Fred Rhines, '64, Douglas Brook,j '65, Scott Crooks, '65, and Gary Cunningham,;'66. Go Blue, MSU Roughly 6900 leaflets were1 dropped from a light airplane onto the Michigan State Uni- versity campus in East Lansing yesterday by some of the mem- bers of Theta Xi fraternity, ac- cording to Bill Smith, house treasurer.l According to Sgt. Donald Cleeves of the Michigan State1 University Police, mimeograph-f ed leaflets saying "Go Blue Michigan" and signed "Theta1 Xi" were found all over cam-1 pus. THOMAS BROWN ... installment delayed Group Aims To End SGC Currently circulating among students is a petition to abolish Student Government Council. The petition, which originated over the past weekend, is the proj- ect of a small group of students headed by James Sayre, '65E, who feels that SGC in its present form is "ineffective" and "has gone to pot." Sayre, who describes himself as a liberal, explained yesterday that the goal of his group is to amass a total of 1000 signatures in en- dorsing the abolition of Council. 25 Already "We already have 25," he noted. With 1000 signatures, the group may legitimately submit the peti- tion to Council, which then must either approve it or present it to the electorate as a referendum in the next election. He explained that the sole pur- pose of the petition is to defeat SGC on this campus, not to reform or revise it. Pass the Buck "If we can get the issue passed by a referendum vote, then it will be up to someone else to es- tablish reforms in the existing Council or to set up a new body." SGC Executive Vice-President Edwin Sasaki, Grad, commented yesterday, "It is quite obvious that this petition would be voted down if it comes to the Council table." "If Council chose not to adopt the petition, then it must be sub- mitted to the electorate," Sasaki acknowledged, "but there would be nothing to prevent Council from publishing its views or recom- mending that such a referendum proposal be defeated." Sasaki said, "I hope and suspect that this proposal would fail as a referendum. "If anyone would want to vote this down, I would say that the liberals would," he added. School Gives Six sorority Suspensions, By MARGARET LOWE Long Beach State College re- cently suspended six of its seven sororities for failure to conform to campus rushing rules. Seeking to establish an inde- pendent standing with the college, the sororities discarded tradition- al procedure by holding off-cam- pus rushing. Recognition was withdrawn be- cause "the sororities would not ac- cept campus obligations and there- fore would not be given campus privileges," Carl McIntosh, presi- dent of Long Beach State College, said. Also at 'U' Five of the six unrecognized sororities, all members of national organizations, also have chapters at the University. They are Alpha Phi, Delta Delta Delta, Gamma Phi Beta, Sigma Kappa and Zeta Tau Alpha. The sixth suspended sorority is Delta Zeta. Delta Gamma, the only other sorority at Long Beach State Col- lege, "did not evade or avoid rushing procedures," McIntosh said, and is still recognized by the college. Desire Independence The sororities desire independent status in order to avoid compli- ance with an anti-discrimination rule effective Sept. 1, 1964, college spokesmen said. In accordance with the Board of Trustees policy which governs the 17 California state colleges, approved sororities andi fraterni- ties must assure to active members the freedom to select new members without discrimination on the bas- is of race or religion. The trustees,have ruled that the sororities and fraternities must sign written statements that such freedom does exist in local chap- ters. None of the seven Long Beach State sororities have as yet signed the pledge, which takes effect next September. Discrimination Involved? "There is some feeling that sor- ority members cannot exercise freedom of selection and that dis- crimination is involved," McIntosh noted. However, there is as yet no way to distinguish valid evidence of discriminatory practices, he added. Edith Hendley, alumni advisor for the six sororities, issued a statement saying, "Members of six national sororities subject to the present action in Long Beach be- lieve we can survive without rec- ognition. Private Organization "It is our choice to be a private organization based on religious foundation and giving service to the college whenever possible." The six sororities will be con- sidered as off-campus social clubs. They can take no organized part in college ac'ivities. The city of Long Beach also has the authority to revoke occupancy permits of the unrecognized soror- ities, but it has not yet taken such action. Russian Forces Continue To Block Berlin Highway -Associated Press NICHT ZU PASSEN-German trucks are placed across the autobahn at the Marienborn check- point by Communist officials, thus blocking passage from West Berlin to West Germany. Secretary of State Dean Rusk has personally protested against the action of the Soviets in holding up United States convoys on the highway. So far no outbreak of violence has resulted from the Com- munist blockade. * Pollock Cites Need By JEFFREY GOODMAN "There has never been one place where all members of the faculty can get together to acquaint them- selves with each other or their dis- ciplines; such cross-fertilization is a vital thing for a faculty," Prof. James Pollock of the political science department said recently. Algerian Army Drives Rebels Off Mountain ALGIERS (AP)-President Ahmed Ben Bella's troops surrounded Michelet early yesterday and forc- ed rebel Berbers to abandon the Kabylie Mountain stronghold on the second day of Algeria's new conflict, authorities reported. While the Berbers gave ground, rebel chieftain Hocine Ait Ahmed called for war throughout the country against Ben Bella's re- gime. The shooting followed 10 days of oral sniping. The army surrounded Michelet, a town of 4000, while the insurgent chiefs tried to round up comman- dos scattered in Friday's fighting. The army column, with five me- dium tanks, bazookas and recoil- less cannons, halted their inva- sion at Michelet after blasting through a rebel roadblock at Fort National and seizing two other Berber towns. Discussing the purposes and present status of a proposed fac- ulty center, Prof. Pollock noted that "the project has been brood- ed over here for 20 years." "The center would serve the integrative function which is so necessary to pull a big, disparate university together," he said. Y'All Come A faculty center would be a place to which all faculty members would gravitate for lunch or din- ner, for group meetings, for re- laxation, discussion or reading in spare time, for entertaining guests or for an evening with their fam- ilies. "The University is the only major university in the nation without some proper community center for its faculty," he said. The delay in getting the center is not due to lack of interest nor to disagreement on its need, Prof. Pollock feels, but to the fact that "apparently faculty needs are not given very high priority" by the administration and the Regents. Unanimous Approval Four year ago, Prof. Pollock was asked by the Senate Advisory Com- mittee on University Affairs to chair a subcommittee to formulate a plan for a faculty center. The group, "able and representative of the whole campus," received unan- imous approval from SACUA for the plan it submitted. Thecenter was to be largely self-liquidating; construction loans would be paid back out of dues and operations. Since its formation, the plan, fulfilling the needs for a center in Prof. Pollock's opinion, has been reapproved by SACUA and resubmitted to the administration. Status Quo No comment has been made by the administration since the last academic year, and no action is being taken by SACUA at present. According to Prof. Pollock, the administration has proposed num- erous alternatives, all of which had previously been considered and rejected by SACUA. The main suggestion was use of a floor in the Michigan Union or the Michigan League. This proposal, however, would be inadequate for the 2,000 faculty members and alumni who would be members of the center, Prof. Pol- lock feels. 'Utterly Inadequate' "The existing facilities at the Union are utterly inadequate and Set Mayerson in- n_- for Club even less attractive," he said. "There are some pool tables, a1 small reading room and a cafeteria in the basement, but only about 50 people frequent the place. Another major problem in con- nection with establishing a center would be state and local liquor laws. "Everyone knows that you can't have an acceptable adult club without allowing liquor," Prof. Pollock mentioned. Cowles Urges Appointment Of H1RC Head Human Relations Commission Director Alfred E. Cowles of Grand Rapids recently urged hiring a full-time human relations direc- tor in Ann Arbor. Appearing before an informal joint meeting of the City Council and Human Relations Commission, Cowles pointed out that it is diffi- cult for members of the commis- sion to do the job of a professional director, since they have other du- ties taking up most of their time. Cowles added that leadership of minority groups is not the busi- ness of the Human Relations Com- mission. Rather, the commission must gain the confidence of such present minority leaders as the National Association for the Ad- vancement of Colored People, the Council on Racial Equality and the American Urban League, he said. He added that this aim would best be accomplished with a full- time director. U.S. Protests Red Blockade Of Vhice Soviet Troops Face Army Across Road As Tension Mounts BERLIN ()-Soviet forces con- tinued yesterday to block entry into Berlin of a United States Ar- my convoy. The Russians ignored strong United States protests and said they would continue to bar the convoy until the issue of handling American military traffic is set- tIed. A dozen armored personnel car- riers and 100 armed Soviet sol- diers maintained the vigil. Face to Face Facing the Russians across the autobahn outside Berlin were 205 armed United States soldiers - 61 from the halted convoy and .144 from a second convoy. The second convoy rolled out of Berlin after the trouble started and stood by. One of the convoys involved in the dispute has geen delayed near- ly two full days, starting Thursday morning when the 18 vehicles, car- rying 61 men, arrived at the Mar- ienborn checkpoint on the Western end of the autobahn en route to Berlin. In Washington, in a sudden chill of the United States' thawing re- lations with Russia, the move was called an "entirely unwarranted action." Ungodly Hour Secretary of State Dean Rusk summoned Anatoly F. Dobrynin, the Soviet ambassador, to the State Department at the unusual hour of 10 a.m. to express serious concern over the latest harass- ment of American troops on the autobahn. Officials said it was the gravest incident in years on the highway, which runs from West Germany to divided Berlin. It was clear that the Berlin is- sue was brought up at some point in the day-long talks here with Andrei A. Gromyko, the Russian foreign minister. Undersecretary of State George W. Ball told re- porters that Gromyko claimed "to be unaware" of the halting of a United States convoy. Memories, Memories This statement recalled that Gromyko denied the presence of Soviet offensive missiles in Cuba almost exactly a year ago when they were being installed. A White House conference un- derlined how seriously the United States regards the incident. Presi- dent John F. Kennedy met for 45 minutes with top military and dip- lomatic advisers. BATON IN THE AIR: Drum Major's Job Requires Hard Effort Pep Rally Shakes,.Diag By JOHN BRYAN' j The Marching Band's drum major had never twirled a baton before he came to the University and he doesn't intend to make twirling a major part of his life after graduation. However, he spends a minimum of 20 hours a week practicing for his Saturday afternoon duties and leading band members through theirs. "I played alto horn in the band during my first year here," William McCann, '63SM, notes. "I had been drum major in my high school band but had never twirled a baton before. By watching thej other twirlers and practicing all summer, I became good enough to be drum major here the next year." Early Bird Gets the Baton McCann, who is in his fourth year as drum major, usually arrives at the band practice field half an hour to an hour before the full band begins its daily practice. "I use this time to go through my routine for the following week and make sure I have all the tosses for the show mastered," he notes. He also helps with teaching the band its new formations and }:: :is:;::;:;2ixj$:%:;:iti
