Under the new plan, which has been operating on an experi- mental basis since last December, all disciplinary cases involving students will first be heard by the student Joint-Judiciary Council and later reviewed by the faculty Sub-Committee on Discipline. This marks a significant change from the old procedure under which all important violations of student conduct regulations were heard only by the Disciplinary Sub-Committee, which is composed of three members of the University faculties. STEMMING from vigorous protests by a host of campus leaders that students were not being given enough responsibility in the handling of student disciplinary matters, the new procedure is an outgrowth of a report submitted by a special sub-committee of the Student Affairs Committee more than a year and a half ago. The SAC sub-committee, which was set up to study "juris- dictional problems," cited the lack of responsibility given students in the administration of disciplinary matters as one of the most glaring weaknesses in the strycture of student government on campus. To correct this situation the SAC sub-committee recommended that all disciplinary cases involving students be referred to the student Joint-Judiciary Council, subject to later review by the Sub- Committee on Discipline. * * * * OBTAINING the whole-hearted support of the Disciplinary Com- mittee members early last fall, the Student Affairs Committee adopted the recommended procedure on an experimental basis on December 12 and later received official approval of the plan from President Alexander G. Ruthven. Since that time 36 individual cases and four group cases have been referred to the Joint-Judiciary Council, which has quietly been conducting weekly hearings for the past five months. All disciplinary cases are referred to the Joint Judiciary by the Offices of the Dean of Students and the Dean of Women and a thorough and fair hearing of each case is conducted by the Council. THE JUDICIARY'S recommended penalties, along with a com- Pete transcript of the hearing, is then submitted to the Disciplinary l C mmittee for review. The penalties recommended by the Council during the past five months, ranging from restrictions on social privileges to the $300 Phi Gamma Delta fine, have all been accepted by the Disci- plinary Committee. All students are permitted td appeal the findings of the Joint Judiciary and three such appeals have been filed. In all three in- stances, however, the Disciplinary Committee upheld the recom- mendations of the Joint-Judiciary. When the ,procedure was originally adopted last December the SAC members felt that it should be proven under fire before being announced publicly. The plan has been so successful, however, that President Ruthven has indefinitely extended the procedure and Ryder was permitted to take it out from under wraps for the first time at last night's SL meeting. * * * * PRAISING the manner in which the Joint Judiciary has con- ducted its hearings, Dean of Students Erich A. Walter said, "I am iroud of the work which our Joint-Judiciary Council has done. "Their ability to handle difficult disciplinary cases is a sig- nificant step ahead in greater student participation in the extra- curricular life of the University. "This new system of having students charged and punished by their peers is one which I hope will continue indefinitely." * * * * ASSOCIATE DEAN of Students Walter B. Rea, who has sat in on many of the Joint-Judiciary's hearings as an observer, noted 'particularly the "mature and intelligent" manner in which the hear- ings have been conducted. "The Judiciary members have made a thorough investigation; of every case and their recommendations have reflected a mature judgement and genuine fair-mindedness," Rea said. Ryder, who has skillfully guided the Joint-Judiciary through the recent experimental period, also praised the new proc'edure, terming it "an extremely significant step forward in student self-government." He cited the "extremely fine cooperation" his Council has received from the Disciplinary Committee in setting up the new procedure. "The Disciplinary Committee members have been very helpful to us and have made no attempt to bind us with their opinions," Ryder said. > , x'17 f ,i: Y' ^ ;l .S- Vii/ . A ..

Douglas MacAr- thur's ouster exploded yesterday into a bitter wrangle among Sena- tors over their power to force Geri. Omar N. Bradley to tell what was said at a meeting with President Truman last April 6. The White House talk was about firing the Far East commander. The dispute brought angry talk that the White House may be "pulling an iron curtain" down on the testimony - and counter charges that the Republicans may be "trying to sabotage" the Asia policy inquiry because they don't like the way the testimony is go- ing. * * * THE SENATE Armed Services and Foreign Relations Committees - conducting the hearing - will vote at 10 a.m. (EST) today on whether to try to force Bradley to reveal the White House con- versation. All the signs are that Bradley will be upheld in his re- fusal. Chairman Russell (D-Ga.), the inquiry chairman, said the question will be: "whether or not a Congressional committee has the power to compel an ad- viser of the President of the United States to disclose the detailshof. a conversation had with the President on a confi- dential basis" This issue arose yesterday when Senator Wiley (R-Wis.) asked Bradley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to tell what was said at the meeting which led to MacArthur's dismissal six days later. Dorm Survey To Start Today The Dorm Survey Committee will distribute the first all-campus residence hall survey question- naires to each dormitory resident today. "The questionnaire asks for the student's evaluation of what we all felt were the most pressing problems," Dave Guttentag, chair- man, said. It was composed with the aid of Kermit K. Schooler, assistant study director of the University Survey Research Center. The queries concerning the students' evaluation of the quan- tity and preparation of food, the quality of services received, the facilities and the staff of the residence halls. As soon as the questionnaires have been completed by the stu- dents, the individual house coun- cils will tabulate and evaluate the results in their dorm. r r t Quick Change MEMPHIS--(iP)--Audry Ba- ker, 10 years old, always want- ed to be an acrobat when he grew up. But now he's changed his mind. Audry saw some power line- men stringing wire back of his house yesterday. When they took the slack out, the boy grabbed hold. Up Audry went -30 feet. Dangling there like an acrobat was fun, he said, until he looked down. That's when Audry scream- ed, attracting the attention of neighbors. A blanket net was set up and he dropped into it. Now, he said, "I'm going to be a preacher when I grow up." Senate OK's Bill To Send IndianAida WASHINGTON-(P)-The Sen- ate yesterday approved a bill au- thorizing the shipment of 2,000,000 tons of grain to famine-threatened India on .a 100 per cent loan basis. The $190,000,000 loan is repay- able at low interest rates over a period of more than 30 years. * * * A SIMILAR MEASURE is sched- uled to come before the House to- day. Its fate there is uncertain in the face of strong opposition. In passing the legislation, the Senate rejected a plea by Presi- dent Truman who had asked Congress last February to send $190,000,000 worth of food to India as an outright gift. Several Senators noted that In- dia herself never asked for free aid. India also refused to barter materials which might be used in atomic weapons in return fox the grain. PASSAGE CAME BY voice vote after the Senate voted, 52 to 32, to approve the consignment as a straight loan, instead of a half- loan, half-gift as recommended by the Senate Foreign Relations Com- mittee. Without objection, the cham- ber approved an amendment by Senator Saltonstall (R-Mass) requiring the Secretary of Agri- culture to certify that grain ship- ments to India "will not impair the fulfillment of the vital needs of the United States." The amendment also provides that the United States may nego- tiate with India for repayment of at least part of the loan in stra- tegic materials. Draft Test Moved All students who were instruct- ed to take the May 26 selective service exam at the Intramural Bldg. are to report instead to Waterman Gymnasium, the Bu- reau of Psychological Services an- nounced yesterday.

According to the new regulation men can not be pledged and initi- ated into a fraternity during a single school term. This semester, because of the world situation, IFC allowed students to both pledge and affiliate. The new regulation is a return to previous IFC policy. It also in- cludes the clause that a pledge who can't make the necessary 2.0 grade average after two semesters must depledge. Earlier, IFC President Jack Smart, 152BAd., announced that petitions for IFC committee chair- manships and assistant chairman- ships would be due at 5 p.m. Fri- day. All affiliated male students are eligible for the posts. He said those petitioning would be interviewed Monday by the IFC cabinet. ErT9 lir _ w1. .

Ten Theta Xi pledges scrubbed the walls of the Ann Arbor YMCA from 4 p.m. to midnight. And eight neophytes of ATO spent the day at the Clear Lake YWCA summer camp, sanding and painting the canoes. The social service projects were greeted enthusiastically by the pledges, who said they favored them over the usual hell week ac- tivities.' Delta Tau Delta was the first fraternity on campus to introduce the social service theme to hell week.

The primary purpose of the in- vestigation, Savin said, mould be to seek a solution to the problem of barring Negroes from some local barber shops. CAMPUS QUEENS WILL die quietly, the SL decided. A report on the recent referendum indicat- ed an inconclusive 400 vote plural- ity for removing the restriction on them. The group voted to table the campus queens indefinitely. By a slender six vote margin, students disapproved the 18-year- old vote referendum, it was re- ported. The results will be trans- mitted to the National Student As- sociation, which requested the ref- erendum. Before the meeting, a dinner was held honoring outgoing members. Tom Walsh, '51L, was presented with a silver tray in recognition of his era of service on the SL.

DSR STRIKE ISSUE: Professors Criticize HutchinsonAct 1. By ALICE BOGDONOFF "Nationalist China" in a violent attempt to protect her right of re- presentation captured the limelight in the "Security Council" meeting which was conducted in the Busi- ness Administration college last night by the UNESCO Council. The status of Nationalist China was bitterly challenged when Red China made a dramatic entrance after a Russian resolution was passed to admit her as an addi- tional, temporary member of the sented by Itiru Shah, Grad., pro- posed that "the People's Repub- lic of China be admitted as a per- manent member of the Security Council." Nationalist China objected to this proposal, but when the chair- man, Sir Gladwyn Jebb, (Jim Brown, Grad.), ruled that Na- tionalist China may not have the right of veto, the dignity of the meeting exploded.
