NEW YORK-{A'}--"Biased, pre-

intelligence asserted yesterday.
The charge was made by retir-
ing Major-Gen. Charles Willough-

Student Legislature president
Len Wilcox appears to have a
clear field for re-election, as SL
holds fall cabinet elections at 7:30
tonight in the Anderson-Strauss
dining room of the East Quad-
rangle.
With no candidates planning to
contest his bid for a second term
as SL chief, Wilcox seemed cer-
tain to win a unanimous vote of
confidence and become the second
man in SL history to hold the top
post twice. George Roumell turn-
ed the trick last year.
* * *
IF WILCOX IS the only candi-
date, this will be the third con-
secutive semester with only one
t nominee for president. No one ran
against Roumell in his second
term, and Wilcox was unopposed
last spring.
A stiffer fight appears to be in
prospect for vice-president. Bob
Baker, now treasurer, seems to
have the inside track, with op-
position from Leah Marks, now
cabinet member-at-large, and a
dark - horse candidate, Wally
Pearson, chairman of the Hu-
man Relations Committee.
Irv Stern, number two man the
past semester, is no longer on the
Legislature.
For treasurer, Phil Berry, also
cabinet member-at-large, was ten-
tatively the favorite, although his
~candidacy was not certain. Joe
White, present Public Relations
Committee chairman, was a pos-
sible candidate for this post, or a
cabinet member-at-large slot.
Bob Perry, Varsity Committee
head, was also in the running for
cabinet member-at-large.
Robin Glover, recording secre-
tary, and Phyllis Kaufman, chair-
man of the Citizenship Committee,
seemed likely candidates for the
two secretary positions.,

mosphere of tension, uneasiness
and distrust between Tokyo and
Washington. This is believed to
have been a major cause for the
MacArthur-Truman split."
Willoughby said the six cor-
respondents also gave "aid and
comfort to the enemy."
The men he named were: Jo-
seph Alsop, syndicate columnist;
Hanson Baldwin, military cor-
respondent of the New York
Times; Homer Bigart, war cor-
respondent of the New York
Herald Tribune; Hal Boyle, war
correspondent and columnist of
the Associated Press; Drew Pear-
son, syndicate columnist; and
Christopher Rand,former mem-
ber of the Herald Tribune staff
Sin Korea, since resigned.
They denied Willoughby's char-
ges, and reiterated their beliefs
that faulty intelligence reports by
him preceded the UN surprise set-
back in Northern Korea last year.

WILLOUGHBY'S article was
was accompanied by a foreward
signed by MacArthur.
It said: "Gen. Willoughby's ar-
ticle is of the greatest importance
because the entire effort to distort
and misrepresent the causes lead-
ing to the existing situation repre-
sents one of the most scandalous
propaganda efforts to pervert the
truth in recent times."
Willoughby also accused three
news-magazines, Time, News-
week, and U.S. News and World
Report of having "appeared to
go out of their way to create de-
Jeatist thought patterns, and to
belittle the country's armed for-
ces."
While excepting some major sec-
tions of the American press from
his assertions, Willoughby said of
columnists and commentators:
"These ragpickers of modern lit-
erature have developed an insuf-
ferable but peculiarly American
characteristic: they have come to
believe they are omniscient. Al-
ready deep in the fold of yellow
journalism, they thrive on sensa-
tional exaggerations."

Study Group
Designated
Conimittee Will
Review Probleni
A joint Student Legislature-
Panhellenic Association committee
was named yesterday to study the
bias clause problem in campus sor-
orities.
But action by the five-woman
group will have to wait until Pan-
hel finishes compiling the sorority
bias clause information.
All members of the committee
are affiliates. Members include
Panhel president Beverly Clarke.
'52, two sorority representatives
and two SL representatives.
PANHELLENIC officers became
aware of bias clauses in sorority
constitutions only two weeks ago,
according to Miss Clarke.
Before that time statements
from all sororities denying the
existence of bias clauses were
accepted from the women's
houses at face value.
On the basis of these statements,
former Panhel president Jane Top-
per, '51, testified before the Stu-
dent Affairs Committee last se-'
mester that no bias clauses existed
in any sorority constitution.
PANHEL STILL isn't certain
which houses have clauses, Miss
Clarke said yesterday. She ex-
plained that some groups had to
write to their national headquar-
ters for permission to reveal por-
tions of their constitutions and
haven't received replies as yet.

and (2) a ban against military
buildups.
THE COMMUNISTS did not im-
mediately reject the seven-point
UN plan which included these pro-
visions. But their chief delegate,
Maj. Gen. Nam Ii, said his side
thought they were matters that
should be settled by a high level
conference after an armistice is
arranged.
Each side presented plans for
supervising an armistice yester-
day immediately after negotia-
tors ratified f ormally an agree-
ment on where the cease-fire line
will run if a full armistice is
signed within 30 days-by Dec.
- 7.
The UN called the Reds' five-
point plan inadequate. The Com-
munists asked time yesterday to,
study the UN plan.-
THE REDS' reaction was ex-
pected when negotiators meet at
snow-covered Panmunjom at 11
a.m. today (9 p.m. yesterday. Ann
Arbor time).
The plenary session convened on
schedule.
It appeared possible the Reds
would reject the Allied proposals
for inspection teams and' a ban
on military build-ups. From ad-
vance indications the Commun-
ists will seek the withdrawal of
foreign troops from Korea soon
after an armistice is concluded.
General Nam said yesterday such
a withdrawal should be discussed
at the higher level conference.
MEANWHILE Allied and Com-
munist jets clashed again over
northwest Korea in the second
straight day of stepped-up air
battles.
The U.S. Fifth Air Force said
three Red MIG-15 jets were shot
down and three others were dam-
aged. There was no report of U.S.
losses, if any.
F-86 Sabre jets took on the
MIGS in yesterday's air battles.

Amidst a fanfare of trumpets.
President and Mrs. Harlan H. Hat-
cher made their grand entrance
into the Hussey Room of the Lea-
gue where for two hours after yes-
terday's inaugural ceremony they
shook hands with more than 600
guests.
Standing in front of a classical
backdrop, designed for the occa-
sion by students in the architec-
ture school, the Hatchers receiv-
ed congratulations from visiting
dignitaries, faculty members, stu-
dents and townspeople while flash-
bulbs popped on all sides.

PROF. EVERETT S. Brown of
the political science department
introduced guests to the president
and *his wife. Mrs. Hatcher was
gowned for the event in a two-
piece purple wool dress and wore
a corsage of pale yellow orchids.
The Hatcher children, Robert,
seven years old, and Anne, five
years old, were on hand for the
first half-hour of the reception.
As they left by a side door, Anne
commented that the reception
was "ok," while Robert admit-
ted that he "liked the punch."
President Hatcher, at the end of
the "long day" felt "very much
elevated-in spirit and otherwise."
He said he was particularly
pleased to greet all his old friends,
although he enjoyed the comment
made by one new acquaintance,
President Sarah Blanding of Vas-
sar College: "I didn't come to see
you, I came to see your wife." Mrs.
Hatcher is a Vassar alumna.
Union Opera
In Red $400
For Last Year
The 1951 Union Opera, "Go
West, Madam," lost over $400, it1
was revealed last night.
Jim Yobst, '52, newly appointed
general manager for the 1952
Opera and head of production for
last year's show, indicated that
the red ink in "Go West's" ledger
could be traced to excessive spend-
ing for costumes and scenery.
DEFICITS in the same depart-
ments caused a shutdown of Union
Opera production in the thirties
after nearly 40 years of regular
shows.
But a contributing factor to
this year's loss was the fact that

Harlan Henthorne Hatcher was installed as the eighth president
of the University yesterday in a Hill Auditorium jammed to capacity.
Against a kaleidoscopic background of academic costumes, the
flags of the United Nations, and a yellow-blue theme, the 53-year-old
educator formally accepted the appointment before approximately
4,000 persons.
TO REGENT ROSCOE O. BONISTEEL, the installing officer, he
said: "I accept your charge and the call to this high office . . . without
reservation and with complete dedication of all my energy, affection
and faith."
Greeted with a thunderous ovation, the President proce'ded
to deliver his inaugural speech. Ile traced the history of the Uni-
versity, praised its public and private support, and paid special
tribute to retired President Alexander G. Ruthven and the Phoenix
Project he fathered.
Describing the University as a "golden investment secure against
all the vicissitudes of fortune," he emphasized that "no single life

has been done here."
"THE CONTINUED PROGRESS and safety of the nation itself
is dependent upon the preservation and advancement of this spirit of
energetic Darning, teaching and research," he continued.
The President cautioned against accepting the lowered stand-
ards of emergency time operation. "We must not allow this to
happen.
"We must rehabilitate, revitalize and look with calm determina-
tion at our needs, our responsibility, and our great opportunities."

LITERARY COLLEGE CONFAB:
Student-Faculty Relations Examined

PRIOR TO THE PRESIDENT'S inaugural speech, Regent Boni-
steel had outlined the purposes of the University, to which President
Hatcher dedicated himself:
"While we do not hesitate to train men in ways of making a
living, our master purpose is to teach them how to live," Boni-
steel said. "It shall never be our purpose to train select people to
prey upon the less fortunate, but rather to teach the fortunate to
dedicate their best abilities to the service of their fellow men,
"The University has been, and will continue to be, synonymous
with this American concept of freedom and responsibility on its highest
plane.
"We claim you as our friend, and we pledge you our devotion
and our loyalty."
SPEAKER HOWARD L. BEVIN, president of Ohio State, describ-
ed the reluctance with which his school "saw Vice-president Hatcher!
become president of the University of Michigan.
"We mourned, how we mourned, to see him go."
Revealing an adroit sense of humor, Bevis added: "In my human
weakness, however, let me confess to the malicious hope that from
time to time, when we remember our loss, we shall be able to take
it out on his football teams."
The OSU president amused the audience by coming up with
