SGC will hold its regular meet-

Affairs James A. Lewis is expect-
ed to ask the Council to appoint
student members to the commit-
tee studying the driving ban.
To Discuss Scholarship Fund
Also scheduled are discussions
of the activities scholarship fund
set up by SL with part of its
treasury and the status of the
Book Exchange, another SL leg-
acy.
Discussing the administrative
wing meeting, Coordinator Sandy
Hoffman, '56, said "We need asj
many people as we can get." She
said she hopes 50 people will come
to today's meeting and take out
petitions, giving their preferences
for SGC work.
Next week there will be per-
sonal interviews with those who
petition.
Need Capable People
"We are desperately in need of
experienced, capable people and
also interested people who are
willing to learn," Miss Hoffman
continued.
SGC President Hank Berliner,
'56, called -the Administrative
Wing the "key to the Council's ul-
timate success."
"Its importance," he comment-
ed, "lies not only in permitting
SGC to assume a greater area of
responsibility, but also in providing
a direct link between SGC and the
student body."
Describes Projects
Bill Adams, '57, chairman of the
Public Relations committee, one
of the groups Wing members will
work on, described several proj-
ects he hopes his group will start.
One idea is to establish a line
of communication with the cam-
pus, probably in the form of
monthly reports, either in a spe-
cial newsletter or in The Daily.
Coffee hours with elected and
appointed SGC members meeting
faculty and Administration repre-
sentatives is another project Ad-
ams expects his group will under-
take. All-campus forums will also,
be under the jurisdiction of the
Public Relations Committee.
Coordinating Body
Human and International Wel-
fare Committee Chairman Bob
Leacock, '57, said yesterday he
plans to have his group serve as a
coordinating body for all organs
on campus working in the inter-
national area.
Working jointly with the Inter-
national Students Association, the
SGC group will sponsor an orien-
tation and integration program for
the 350 new foreign students ex-
pected this fall.
Educational and cultural prob-s
lems, such as faculty evaluations,
academic counseling, honor sys-,
tems, accelerated study programs
and student advisors, will be dealt
with by Leacock's committee also.F

What happens when you're called before joint judiciary?
The process begins with a phone call from Assistant to the Dean!
of Men John Bingley, 'requesting' you to confer with him about your
offense.
In the conference- he will ask you questions as to the nature of
your offense. If you're a typical fall case and have procured by means
fair or foul, two sets of football tickets, he will query as to how and
where you came by them, and if you borrowed someone's identification
card in the process.
Submits Case
He will then make arrangements for you to appear before joint
judic. He submits the facts of your case to them.
They interrogate, to supplement the facts before them, and, fol-
lowing the questioning, decide your fate.
In other instances, where Bingley learns of your offense from the
Ann Arbor police, the action is taken along different lines. Bingley
then sees you in the consulting room of the courthouse. He explains
to you the court procedure and the area of your penalty.
Legal Advice
He also informs you that you are entitled to legal advice and must

WASHINGTON - Secretary of
State John Foster Dulles said yes-

stand against the constitutional
amendment which Sen. John W.
Bricker (R-Ohio) has proposed
to limit the treaty making power.
Dulles testified against a simi-
lar proposal last year. He said
Bricker's reintroduced amendment
is substantially the same, and so
are his views against it.

Once in the courtroom he stands
with you while charges are made
and sometimes will post the bond
if you are short on cash.
He will then be called into the
judge's chamber to present his own
opinion and tell the judge if you
have been in trouble before, what
action the University is planning
to take, what kind of citizen he
thinks you are, as well as his opin-
ion on the case.
After the court rules you will be
called to Bingley's office for con-
ference, at which time an appoint-
ment to appear before judic will
be made.
Judic you will find, according to
chairman H o w a r d Nemerovski,
'57L, "is not over-zealous and
harsh in treatment of students, as
some students seem to think.
"It is felt that this misconcep-
tion on the part of some students
is the result of false information."
Educational Principles
Bingley maintains that joint ju-
die works along "educational prin-
ciples." The group takes into ac-
count before ruling whether you
work your way through school,
whether you were fined by the city
court, or whether a fine would just
mean signing another check for
you. If the latter is your case, the
council could require you to work
for your fine, with the pay check
as evidence.
If you were under extreme hard-
ship, the judic will suspend the
fine, as has been done frequently
in the past. Then, finally, if you
are dissatisfied with the judic rul-
ing, you may appeal your case to

QUEMOY SURPRISED:
Robertson's Unexpected
Visit Aimed at Facts'
TAIPEI. Formosa (Ml)-- Walter
Robertson, assistant secretary of
state, made a surprise visit to Que-
moy yesterday.
This bolstered belief his visit is
to "get facts," not to urge further
Nationalist withdrawals.
Once back from the Nationalist
stronghold across Formosa Strait,
Robertson conferred again with
President Chiang Kai-shek.
Radford Joins Mission
Adm. Arthur W. Radford, chair-
man of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,
did not go toeQuemoy because of
a cold. However he joined Robert-
son, his companion on the mission
to Formosa, in his talks with
Chiang.
Most informed opinion was that
the two came to take another look
before turning in a report to Pres-
ident Dwight D. Eisenhower on
conditions generally, Nationalist
morale and the Communist build-
up.
An informed Nationalist source
said the Radford-Robertson mis-
sion was "positive, not negative."
He hinted they had not flownhere
to ask Chiang to give up Quemoy
and the Matsu Islands, 120 miles
northwest of Formosa.
Nationalists Defend Islands
The Nationalists are determined
to defend the offshore islands.
There were three indicators of
continued close United States co-
operation.
1. The United States Military
Assistance Advisory Group, which
trains Chiang's armed forces, an-
nounced its strength was being
substantially increased.
2. Vice Adm. Alfred M. Pride,
whose 7th Fleet guards Formosa,
announced a center had been es-
tablished in Taipei for "liaison and
coordination between U n i t e d
States and Chinese military au-
thorities."
3. United States and Nationalist
military coordinators signed an
agreement covering training, in-
telligence, communications and
logistics under the mutual defense
pact. No details were given.

Student Link
With Alumni
Need for a stronger link between
students and alumni organizations
was cited at yesterday's meeting
of the Development Council Stu-
dent Relations Committee.
Holding its second meeting, the
group concluded that awareness
of alumni responsibilities and priv-
ileges must be established at the
student level.
A brochure entitled "So You're
a Michigan Alumnus," under di-
rection of Ruth Rossner, '55, com-
mittee secretary, will be mailed
this spring to all graduating sen-
iors. Similar to a pamphlet dis-
tributed last year, the booklet has
been revised and expanded.
Addresses Printeds
Addresses of all alumni clubs
are printed in the brochure, as
well as postcards which seniors
will return to the Council office,
to insure continued two-way con-
tact.
Plans have been set, according
to committee chairman Gene
Hartwig, '55, for a Development
Council radio broadcast over sta-
tion WCBN. A panel will discuss
Council problems and objectives
at 6:30 p.m. May 15.
Another committee move to pub-
licize the Council and the need
for improved student-alumni re-
lations will be a speakers' bureau,
now in formative stages. Through
the bureau committee members
will address campus organizations,
about the group's activities.
Final committee organization
will be on the May meeting agen-
da. Planned as a 13-member group,
the committee will include two
student members of the Develop-
ment Council Board of Directors,
presidents or representatives of
the five major housing groups and
two or three members-at-large.

su was advocated by Prof. Claude
S. Phillips, Jr. of the political
science department yesterday at
a meeting of the Young Republi-
cans.
Prof. George Kish of the geog-
raphy department joined Prof.
Phillips in a panel discussion of
the Quemoy-Matsu problem.
"'T'here is not much we can do
to stop Red China from taking
Quemoy and Matsu if they want,
short of World War III," said
Prof. Phillips. It is better to have
us lose face by graciously relin-
qjuishing these islands than to en-
ter another world war which could
result in annihilation."
Prof. Phillips added thdt relin-
quishment of Quemoy and Matsu
would not be the same as relin-
quishing Formosa, which he said
is held in high esteem by many
European countries.
"If we pull out of Formosa,"
commented Prof. Kish, "this move
will be favored by most Americans
but we will have backed down on
our promise to protect Formosa
in case of attack. We will thereby
lose the respect of other countries
who are in the same position."
Both instructors agreed that
Chiang Kai-shek's army isn't
growing more efficient as it gets
older.
Prof. Phillips even declared that
if there is any fighting, it will be
done by United States soldiers.
Chiang Kai-shek, said Prof.
Phillips, has tried to raise the
morale of his army by promising
to bring them to their families.
The morale problem, agreed Prof.
Phillips and Prof. Kish is one of
the most important in Formosa.

COMFORT DISPLACING DIGNITY:
College Men End Ban on Bermudas by Adopting Them
put out Saturday by Undersecre-
tary of State Herbert Hoover Jr.
with the approval of Pres. Dwight
D. Eisenhower.
That statement, issued in re-
sponse to Chou's bid for talks with
the United States to "relax ten-
sions" in the Far East, said: "Of
course the United States would in-
sist on free China participating as
an equal in any discussions con-
cerning the Formosa area."
Bad Reaction
The Saturday statement was re-
ported to have met a bad reaction
among some friendly nations and
in this country.
Sen. Walter F. George (D-Ga.)
said the absence of Nationalist
China from the conference table
should not prevent American
peace talks with the Communists.
The Nationalist regime has turned
thumbs down on the idea of meet-
ing with the Reds.
Senator George, who is chair-
man of the Senate Foreign Rela-
tions Committee; said Chou had
offered to discuss other problems
in the Far East besides Formosa.
Saying that several of these, in-
cluding Viet Nam, are pressing,
George added: "I don't think we
ought to rebuff the proposals he
has made for a meeting,
If we were to turn them down
or impose unreasonable conditions,
that would have a bad effect on
our position in the Far East,
where we are not too popular as
it is."
Cancer Cure
Chances Told
Many opportunities exist for
cancer control Dr. J. R. Heller,
Director of the National Cancer
Institute, said yesterday in his lec-
ture at the School of Public
Health.
Principles of control include
education of lay and professional
people. Legal action which in-
volves reporting of cancer cases
and diagnosis is another control
principle.
"Cancer prevention is possible
in very few instances," Dr. Heller
explained.

German representatives standing
by for consultation-meet against
a backdrop of Soviet-Red Chinese
diplomatic moves which appear de-
signed to show the Communists
as peace-seekers, too.
Several European and Asian of-
ficials in this diplomatic cross-
roads suggested, however, these.
moves may signal the start of an
all-out Red drive towards their
goal of neutralizing the main areas
where East and West meet.
Cite Developments
They cited these developments
in Europe:
1. Russia's about-face regarding
an Austrian independence treaty.
The Soviets have stipulated Aus-
tria must stay out of the East-
West cold war and have tossed In
several economic concessions.
2. A flow of Russian soft words
to Yugoslavia, for years deep in
the Communist doghouse because
her leaders allegedly stepped from
the Moscow party line.
Russia Switches
3. A reported switch by Russia
over the idea of a Scandinavian
union between already-neutral
Sweden and Finland and allied
Norway and Denmark.
Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister
Andrei Gromyko was said to have
withdrawn some old Russian ob-
jections to the scheme during a
recent visit to Stockholm.
The Xremlin evidently hopes
that, in time, a belt of neutral
states will develop in Europe from
the Arctic to the Aegean that will
include the Scandinavian coun-
tries, all or part of Germany, Aus-
tria and Yugoslavia.

MOSCOW, OP)-The Soviet Un-
ion agreed yesterday to a meeting
of the Big Four ambassadors in
Vienna May 2 to spell out final
terms for an Austrian state treaty.
This date was proposed by Brit-
ain, France and the United States.
Austrian representatives will take
part.
In notes to the three Western
powers, the Soviet government
said it did not believe a confer-
ence on the ambassadorial level
was necessary. It took' the posi-
tion that the Big Four foreign
ministers could quickly settle the
final details and sign the long-
delayed treaty.
But it added that since the West
wanted the ambassadors to go over

ernment is agreeable. The ambas-

Popularity of Bermuda shorts is on the upswing.
After a controversial debut on campuses throughout the country,
the knee-length legwear can expect the increased approval of college
students.
That's the consensus of an Associated Collegiate Press nationwide
student survey, asking people here and at other campuses what they've
thought of Bermudas.
More Women Than Men
ACP results showed a good 50 percent of students polled pass fa-
vorable judgment on the shorts, and foresee a sharp increase in their
use. Women, as might be expected, plan to adopt the fad more firmly
than do men-but a few males questioned admitted they'd be willing
to stock their closets with the shorts, too.
Chief objections to Bermudas were summarized by a male here,
who claimed "on girls they look masculine and on boys they look fem-
inine." To this his date retorted "then we can maybe expect more
equality?"
A Daily poll taken last fall on the same subject netted consider-
