By HARRY LUNN Daily Managing Editor Joint Judiciary Council virtually closed its doors to the press yesterday through formal ratification by the University Sub-Commit- tee on Discipline of a policy which will withhold all publicity on in- dividual and group violations except for an end-of-the-semester com- pilation of cases without mention of names. Although the thiee-man University discipline group unanimously approved the recommendation, Judiciary Council Chairman Lee Fiber, '54, refused to reveal the vote within the Council. However, reliable sources indicated that as many as four of the nine council members opposed the policy during the meeting Friday at which it passed. YESTERDAY'S action reaffirmed the informal council policy of last semester of withholding all names and confirmation of group action.' Formalization of the policy came after several months of ne- gotiation between Daily editors and council members. These discussions culminated in a three-point Daily policy pro- posal to release all group names, violations and penalties as each case is closed, release sinilarly individual case results about which there - n .- - - - - --nrw..- i~t wn+ - : . ln~r e .1 i.1 r- - - -i1N ~ I'Te DULLES, MOLOTOV, EDEN - AND BIDAULT - STILL IN AUSTRIAN DEADLOCK r' , i L' ' Reds Set EL For Troop-l BERLIN--O")-Russia served drawal of Red troops from Austria backed European defense system.

We are not requesting council records, and An unclassified report on the reactor's proposed safefuards and design was approved by the Board of Regents this fall and the AEC was petitioned Nov. 27. Prof. Gomberg said that since then further ideas have been submitted to the AEC's advisory committee which will hear the more detailed study involving se- cret data to be presented by his group. Feb. 23. If approval is received, work will start immediately on the necessary design planning for construction with the prospect that the reactor may be in operation sometime in ~.1956. " . . CAPABLE of continuous opera- tion at 1000 kilowatts, the reactor is the largest installation of its kind so far planned for any edu- cational institution. Pennsylvania State College has requested per- mission to build a 100 kilowatt re- actor and the University of North Carolina has a 10 kilowatt device r of different design in operation. Prof. Gomberg said the re- actor would be used for teach- ing, research and as a service fa cility for Midwestern industry. It will also serve as a laborayor device for teaching and explor- ing the operation and behavior of nuclear reactors in general. An additional use would be the production of radioactive isotopes from the machine's intense neu- tron radiation, according to Wid- does. He pointed out that having the reactor on campus would aid Uni- versity scientists in , using, and studying isotopes such as fluorine 20 which have half-lives of only several seconds or minutes. At present only isotopes with half- lives of more than 12 hours may be used here because they have to "be shipped from the government lab- oratories at Oak Ridge, Tenn. In a broader sense, however, the reactor will aid investigations into a variety of scientific fields rang- ing from fundamental physics and chemistry to engineering, medicine and biology, Prof. Gomberg added. * * * i DESIGN of the million dollar; reactor is essentially that of a swimming pool. Twenty-six feet of water will shield observers from the deadly radiation given off by the plates of uranium, u- k 235, at the bottom of the concrete tank. The 50,000 gallons of water will also serve to dissipate the in- tense heat generated by the con- version of mass into energy that, occurs in the atomic disintigration process. Remote controlled cadmium or boron rods interspersed in the fuel elements will serve as the safetly mechanism. The rods are used as valves to hulrLi or shut off entirely the stream of slow neutrons from the uranium. Material to be irradiated can either h lowver to +th viini;+ believe that details of releases could be worked out to insure maintenance of confidence. tate matters in eventually free- Because we realize the responsibility of a free press to provide full information to its readexs, we shall continue our policy of publishing as complete articles as possible on each group violation after the case is concluded.

Rushees may also contact rush- ing counselors in the IFC offices in the Union in the afternoon dur- ing the next two weeks to discuss rushing problems. The counselors are supplied by the fraternities and required to be impartial in dealing with the rushees. riu to me house arecous au the house presidents of the wom- en's dormitories by Panhellenic and Assembly in order to deter- mine the relative effects on inde- pendent women of the two rushing systems. The questionnaire asked for the effects of each program on: big sister programs, leadership train- ing, athletic programs, lantern night or other dorm functions. Information gathered on the basis of these tuestionnaires will be presented before Panhellenic Tuesday as the independent wom- en's viewpoint on fall rushing. Only students who have been on campus for three years or more participated in filling out the form. Daily position and the council statement had been advocated by Interfraternity Council and Pan- hellenic Assembly representatives at hearings before Joint Judic last week. Panhel president Martha Hill, '54, and IFC president C. A. Mitts, '54, had proposed that the council release a summary statement each semester, but include in it names on group cases, They were opposed to disclosure of individual case names. Commenting favorably on the council's decision, acting Dean of Students Walter B. Rea said he agreed to the idea of protecting individuals and groups from pub- licity. "I have a feeling of reluctance to attach names and provide an added penalty," he observed. The all-faculty discipline group which approved the policy includes Prof. Ernest F.

In the past four years, discipli- nary action taken against fra- ternities for drinking violations were reported in the Daily Offi- cial Bulletin the day following notification of the house involved. These accounts presented the names of the groups involved, par- ticulas on the case and penalties imposed. * * * IN ONE incident, the Phi Gam- ma Delta fine on April 5, 1951 for a drinking party, The Daily Official Bulletin report was print- ed on April 17, the day following the resumption of classes after spring vacation. The Daily carried a story on April 6, the last day of classes before vacation, on infor- mation released by the fraternity. In the Psi Upsilon case of No- vember 16, 1950, the Phi Chi case of January 9, 1951 and the Delta Tau Delta case of Decem- ber 13, 1952, disclosure of the names of the groups and the penalties imposed was printed in the DOB the day after the houses were notified of the discipline. Daily news accounts of the inci- dents were carried on the same day. Judiciary departed from this tradition last October when Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity was fined $75 for an unauthorized, unchaperoned hay ride in October. Public no- tice of this action was not made until last Friday. Similar proced- ure was followed in the Sigma Phi Epsilon and Collegiate Sorosis cases in December.
