"The longer we wait for a show-

Americans Still Held
In my opinion more than 3,000
UN personnel, including more than
1,000 Americans are still being held

Vaccine Tests
IFC Anounces
Meeting, Deadline
Fraternity presidents voted last
night to volunteer the services of
the fraternity system for a pro-
gram designed to test the effect-
iveness of flu vaccine.
The motion to the presidents last
night, presented by Joe Whiteman,
'55, president of Beta Theta Pi,
was qualified . . . "provided that
the health department is willing
to accommodate such a program;
that such a program would be en-
tirely voluntary and completely
non-injurious; and that the pro-
gram can be set up on a decen-
tralized basis to facilitate the
tests.
Presidents OK
The program passed by a large
majority.
John Baity, '54, Interfraternity
Council President, who has been
instrumental in coordinating the
arrangement with the health de-
partment, explained the motion to
the Presidents before discussion
began.
It was also approved last night
that' members of Michigan State's

Moral Obligation
By MURRY FRYMER
H. Chandler Davis, former Uni-
versity mathematics instructor
who was dismissed from the fac-
ulty in August will be at the Stu-
dent Legislature meeting tonight
to discuss the question of proposed
severance pay - for himself and
Prof. Mark Nickerson, who has
also been dismissed.
SL will at the time consider a,
Culture and Education Commit-
tee motion stating that "Prof.
Nickerson and Mr. Davis should
receive a year's compensation from
the date bf notification of dis-
missal."
Davis said that he had been
asked to answer questions on sev-
erance pay only. He added that he
was not prepared to discuss the
dismissal in general.
Under Judication
At the present time, Davis' legal
case is under judication, which is
another reason for the necessity
to restrict the discussion to con-
tract, tenure, appointment, and
severance pay.
The SL motion, which will be
made by Paul Dormont, '55, and
Hank Berliner, '56, states that the
"University has a moral obliga-
tion to uphold the welfare of its
faculty.

On Atom Law
Today, Thursday and Friday,
Dean E. Blythe Stason of the law
school will attend a conference on
atomic energy sponsored by the
National Industrial Conference
Board.
Held in New York City, this is
the third annual conference on
atomic energy law.
Dean Stason has been asked to
comment at some length on deci-
sions reached at the talks and to
summarize the discussions at the
conclusion of a round table panel
which he will conduct.
Today, Dean Stason will act as
chairman of a round table session
entitled "Significance of the Pa-
tent and Licensing Amendments
to the Atomic Energy Act."
The National Industrial Confer-
ence Board is a New York organi-
zation which conducts conferences
of interest to industry.
According to Mrs. Doris Mc-
Laughlin, secretary to the Secre-
tary of the, law school, "It is an
organization of industries with an
educational rather than a propa-
gandist function-a clearing house
for new ideas."
Approximately 3,000 industrial-
ists, engineers and lawyers will at-
tend the conference. Dean Stason
is the only college professor on the
panel.
A birthday party in honor of
President Dwight D. Eisenhower,1
sponsored by the Young Republi-
cans, will begin at 8 p.m. tonightl
in the Union ballroom.t
The President will be 64 yearsI
old tomorrow.

discuss "The Importance of Elect-
ing a Republican Congress," will1
