'Bias' Housing
Student Legislature last night
voted to take up a plan with the
Board of Regents that would grantI
permission for all University stu-
dents to operate cars on campus
except freshmen under 21 years
old.
Also passed at the meeting was
a recommendation that the Office
of Student Affairs drop all listings
of off-campus housing units which
include racial, national origins or
religious qualifications.

UNDER THE SL driving plan,
the only restrictions on upper
class students who want to op-
erate a car on campus would be
proper vehicle registration, ade-
quate-insurance coverage, paren-
tal consent for minors and identi-
fication markings on the car.

etary fines, suspension of driving
privileges, and suspension for the
University.
In the off-campus housing mo-
tion, passed after defeat of two
substitute bills SL recommended
that OSA inform all landlords
wishing to list their housing with
the University's office that no dis-
criminatory qualifications may be
included.
OSA would determine whether a
student seeking housing is dis-
criminated against on the basis of
race, religion or national origins
and would remove such listings
from its files. This action would,
be taken only after a student had
issued formal complaint to the of-
fice.
Opponents of the motion
claimed that OSA housing files

Cornell Tells of Faith
In Future of Theater
By HARRY STRAUSS
"I never lose faith in the theater!" confessed Katharine Cornell,
"even if it is wearing a little thin."
Concurring with Arthur Miller's recent statement criticizing
the theater, Miss Cornell said that the theater is "in need of new
blood." She added that a small group of half a dozen good actors can-
not keep the theater up without new and fresh talent in all fields.
MISS CORNELL remarked how much she has enjoyed touring
in "The Constant Wife," which this Saturday will give its 233rd per-
''formance. She was "mad" about

Nam Terms
Plan Totally
Unacceptable
Reds Dismantle
Reception Area
By the Associated Press
The Communist truce delega-
tion yesterday flatly rejected the
new United Nations formula for
ending the Korean deadlock.
North Korean Gen. Nam I, head
of the Red truce delegation, in-
formed the Allies the - proposal
was "absolutely unacceptable."
NAM TOLD Lt. Gen. William K.
Harrison Jr., chief Allied nego-
tiator, that the Communist High
Command had made a "prelimi-
nary study" of the UN proposal
and found it "tends to overthrow
the basis of negotiations of both
sides."
"Your proposal is absolutely
unacceptable," he ' said. "We
resolutely reject it."
Outside the conference hut Com-
munist newsmen told Allied cor-
respondents they believed the
Communists had dismantled their
tent reception area for exchanged
war prisoners, used during the re-
cent repatriation of more than
6,000 Communist sick and wound-
ed for some 600 disabled Allies.
"That is an answer to your 20-
point counter proposal," the Red
newsmen said.
UNDER THE UN proposal all
anti-Communist North Korean
prisoners held by the Allies would
be turned loose in South Korea
on armistice day as free civilians.
All anti-Communist Chinese
prisoners would be freed after
two months if they still refused
to go home. Then they would be
permitted to go where they
pleased.
Gen. Mark W. Clark, supreme
UN Far East commander, brought
the plan, a counter-proposal to the
eight-point Communist formula,
to Harrison in a dramatic flight
yesterday to the Allied base at
Munsan.
MEANWHILE REPORTS from
Seoul said about 200 U.S. fighter-
bombers rained fiery ruin on a big
Communist troop and supply cen-
ter under the nose of the Red air
force yesterday, and not a MIG
dared challenge them.
While the sprawling center
near Sinanju went up in smoke,
the MIGs stayed on their base
at Antung, a few minutes fly-
ing time to the northwest, lick-
ing wounds from a morning bat-
tle that cost them two planes.

SL Student Exchangye
Important as contact
(EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the last in a series of articles on
the Free University of Berlin, which the Student Legislature has
voted to adopt and support.)
By FRAN SHELDON
The confirmation of an exchange student program between the
University and the Free University of Berlin marks the largest single
step taken by the Student Legislature in the direction of a program
for long range assistance and cultural contact between the University,
the Free University of Berlin, and the Office of All-German Student
Affairs.
Word has been received by the Legislature that the Free Univer-
sity of Berlin is making definite plans to take one University student
next fall. Negotiations are also under way to sponsor a GermanI
student here, at the University for a year.
This plan is one aspect of the SL program to provide material
help for the students of the Berlin University. The whole program
includes: 1. The provision of two scholarships for East Zone
refugee students at the Free University. 2. Books for both the Free
University and the Office of All-German Student Affairs. These
would be selected from lists compiled in Berlin. 3. The collection
of food and clothing packages which would be sent to needy Berlin
students and their East Zone families. 4. The establishment of

By DOROTHY MYERS
Today may see final adoption
by the Committee on Student Con-
duct of a long-awaited new con-
stitution for the campus' central
judicial body, the Joint Judiciary
Council.
Most significant change in the
proposed constitution is in the
composition of the Interviewing
Board which selects Joint Judici-

which seldom meets, the Student
Conduct Committee consists of
four students and all deans and
directors of the University.
Last year the Student Affairs
Committee voted unanimously to
approve revising the composition
of the Interviewing Board. Un-
der the SAC-approved plan, four
members from SL's cabinet plus
the President and Interviewing
Committee Chairman of the
League would sit on the Board.
The past Judiciary president
would become non-voting chair-

chairman of Joint Judiciary,
claimed that if passed, the new
plan "would bring the constitu-
tion up-to-date with functions
of the judicial body." "Lines of
the Council's authority and areas
of its jurisdiction will be clear-
er," he said, and the council
will be selected by a uniform in-
terviewing body.
Dean of Men Walter B. Rea ex-
pressed hope that the Committee
on Student Conduct will officially

recognize the Council today by
granting it a new constitution. Political-r'ops
