U.. Session
In Palestine
Israel Refuses
Three Day Truce
PARIS- () - The United Na-
ions Security Council tonight was
rdered into emergency session to
ope with the new war in Pales-
me.
The session was set for 10:30
.m. (5:30 a.m. EST) today, only
few hours ahead of another
reeting on the Berlin situation.
DR. RALPH BUNCHE, U.N. me-
iator, requested the special meet-
rg after Israel rejected his plea
or a three-day ceasefire in the
legev, Southern Palestine desert
egion where Israeli and Egyptian
orces are battling.
ITx an emergency report to the
Council, Bunche declared that a
"serious breach of the truce is
involved in the new Negev out-
break" and demanded "prompt
intervention" by the Council.
"It would seem clear," Bunche
aid "that the military action of
he last few days has been on a
cale which would be undertaken
,fter considerable preparation and
ould scarcely be explained as a
imple retaliatory action for an
,ttack on a Jewish convoy."
THIS APPARENTLY was a ref-
rence to an Israeli complaint
arlier tonight that a Jewish con-
oy has been attacked by the
gyptians on its way into the Ne-
ev.
The Berlin session will be the
Council's fourth since the United
States, Britain and France
charged that the Soviet blockade
of Berlin is a threat to world
peace.
Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister
Lndrei Y. Vishinsky was expected
o continue his verbal boycott, but
here was a possibility that he
right answer questions posed by
he Council's six neutrals in writ-
rg. The Western Powers planned
o reply orally.
Argentina sources reported that
he Kremlin was offering a "new
oviet stand" for settlement of the
3erlin dispute outside the Council.
'hese sources regarded it as "pro-
iding more flexibility" but added
hat Russia still is refusing to dis-
uss Berlin in the council.

Scholastic Requirement
Would Affect IFC .Plus
Lockwood Says That 2.4 Grade Ruling
Would Include All Rooming Organizations
An effort to enforce a rule requiring fraternities to maintain an
overall 2.4 scholastic average may prove embarrassing to University
officials.
If the rule were enforced for fraternities every other dormitory,
sorority, co-op house and rooming house should also be required to
maintain a 2-4 average, the full regulations state.
* * * *
THIS WAS apparently overlooked by University officials when
they told Interfraternity Council members of plans to enforce the
long-dormant rule at the beginning of the semester.
Research on the background of the disputed rule revealed
that the portion relating to "other recognized rooming associa-
tions" had been overlooked, according to IFC President Bruce
Lockwood.
Lockwood called the omitted portion of the regulation to the at-
tention of Dean Erich Walter last week. Walter said he had been un-
aware of this section of the regulation.
* * * *
THE CONTROVERSIAL regulations were contained in a report
submitted to the Committee on Student Affairs and adopted in May
1945. The report was drawn up by the Interfraternity Alumni Con-
ference.
The section dealing with scholastic averages says a fraternity
whose group average falls below a 2.4 for one year shall be warned.
The second year below this average places the group on maximum
social probation.
If after two years on social probation the fraternity still has not
raised its average about a 2.4 it shall be forbidden to initiate new
members.
* ~
IMMEDIATELY following this statement concerning fraternities
is a paragraph which says ". . . the above recommendations should be
implemented on the same scholastic basis by sororities, co-operatives
and other recognized rooming associations."
No effort was made to enforce these regulations until early
this semester. When plans for enforcement were announced be-
fore the IFC, a howl of protest went up.
About one-third of the 31 fraternities on campus last year had
scholastic averages above a 2.00 but below the 2.4 which would be re-
quired under the resurrected rule.
* * * *
A FACULTY MEMBER of the group which drew up the disputed
regulation has privately admitted that "it should be buried" according
to Lockwood.
Representatives of all the fraternities, along with alumni, will
meet with University authorities next Tuesday to discuss the regu-
lation.

While the Ann Abor area was
shaking in its boots from the be-
low freezing weather that hit us
yesterday, the rest of the country
could sympathize with us.
The Mid - West's pre-winter
chilly spell moved into the Middle
Atlantic States and New England
last night, while we were loosen-
ing our collars in preparttion for
some "warm" 59 degree weather
today.
SUB - FREEZING temperatures
were predicted for much of the
northeastern part of the nation by
tomorrow morning. The colder
weather was precededed today by
widespread snows in the Appa-
lachians and New England. The
snow ranged in depth from four
inches in the upper New York
State mountains to a few flakes in
lowland areas.
The nose-diving thermometer
prompted New Orleans police to
order coats for patrolmen and
caused one cop a little trouble.
"EFFECTIVE immediately,"
read the message tapped out on
police teletypes, "you will wear
summer gray shirt, tie, cap and
coat."
The headquarters' telephone
rang and a patrolman said:
"That message that came over
the teletype says I got to go to
work witha shirt and a tie and
my cap and coat. How about my
pants? Ain't I supposed to wear
pants?"
The sergeant bit his lip.
"DON'T the message say any-
thing about pants?"
"No Sarge."
"Well, then," the Sergeant re-
plied, "just use your own judg-
ment."

The council also heard an
opinion from City Attorney Wil-

States is still in a state of war
with Germany and Japan. At-

The council passed a resolution
urging voters to cast their ballots
early Nov. 2, and avoid the tradi-

lution also urged Ann Arbor busi-
nessmen to give employes one hour
off to vote during the day.
