Egypt's Jets
Stage Battle
With Israel
Both Countries
Claim Successes
JERUSALEM 01P)-Israeli and
Egyptian jet planes battled high
over the Holy Land.
Israel claimed one and possibly
two enemy planes shot down.
Egypt said one Israeli plane was
blasted from the skies in this first
aerial combat of 1956.
Jet Crashes
One Egyptian jet crashed 20
miles inside Israel, an Israeli mil-
itary spokesman said. The pilot,
Mohammed Latif, was quoted as
saying his plane was on a patrol
mission. He was taken to a hos-
pital with head and leg injuries.
A search was organized in Is-
rael's southern desert for a second
Egyptian plane reported hit. Is-
raelis close to the border said they
saw four Egyptian planes fly
north and only. two return.
The dogfight raged over Israel's
Negeb Desert. Both nations had
just promised to forego force ex-
cept in self-defense. The pledges
were made to United Nations Sec-
retary General Dag Hammarskjold
in Cairo on his mission for peace
in the Middle East.
Hopes Brighten
Despite the air battle, reports
from Cairo said hopes for Ham-
marskjold's mission brightened a
bit.
The semi-official Egyptian News
Agency reported Israel had agreed
in principle to pull back forces
from the frontier by 500 meters
-slightly less than a third of a
mile.
This was one prime point pro-
posed by the United Nations Se-
curity Council last week when it
asked Hammarskjold to undertake
the mission.
U. S. Watches
The United States, first to sug-
gest that Hammarskjold come to
the Middle East, _was watching
developments.
President Dwight D. Eisenhower
has isent personal messages to
Egyptian and Israeli leaders, pre-
sumably urging restraint. This was
announced at his vacation head-
quarters at Augusta, Ga.
Pres. Eisenhower dealt particu-
larly with his statement Monday
firmly supporting Hammarskjold's
mission.
That statement said the United
States, "in accordance with its
responsibilities under the charter
of the United Nations, will observe
its commitments within constitu-
tional means to oppose any ag-
gression."

About 90 percent of the Fresh-
man law students enter the con-
tests.
There are.seveal different clubs
each headed by a Senior Judge.
The first-year member prepares
and argues ,two cases, one within
his own club in the fall and one
as a representative of his club
in the spring. Second-year mem-
bers participate in one case in the

Warrick's Platform
In his platform for the presi-
dency, Warrick emphasized that
in the IHC, "the ultimate should
be the individual."
Warrick stressed that the IHC
should not allow all campus ac-
tivities to detract from the effect-
iveness of the Council's duties to
those in the residence halls.
In review of the IHC's past year,
outgoing President Tom Bleha, '56,
cited "a growing interest in the
students and in their part in the
residence halls by the Board of
Governors."
Bleha Comments
Bleha discussed the IHC struc-+
ture study program, pointing out!
that a revisedorganization isrnot
the only answer that will clear up
all problems.
He emphasized closer personal.
contacts on the Council as an im-
portant point in improving effi-
ciency and effectiveness of the
IHC.

For the new presidential office,
Warrick has gained experience as
president of East Quad, president
of Strauss House, and scholarship
chairman of the IHC.
He has also been chairman of
the East Quad Scholarship Com-
mittee, and is a member of Tri-
angle and East Quad Quadrants.
Wheare Talks
To0 Rpundtable
Prof. Kenneth Wheare of All
Soul's College at Oxford University,
Great Britain, spoke before the
Political Science Roundtable last
night on "The Decline of the Leg-
islature."
The British political expert ques-
tioned whether legislative power
has actually declined, remarking,
"It almost gives pleasure for most
people to say legislatures are going
downhill.
"But I don't want to believe this,
I don't want to think legislatures
are on the way down," Wheare said,
and admonished persons indulging
in such "gruesome pleasure."
He said he suspected that behind
"all this- talk of the decline of the
legislature, there is an assumption
of a Golden Age" when parliamen-
tary bodies had great authority
and their debates commanded wide
attention throughout the nation.

Ice Cream,'Cords Are
Welcome Spring Signs'

By ALLAN STILLWAGON
They're off!
Coats, ice cream trucks, and
the morning line at local tracks.
The diak is thronged with oyster

There's no doubt. It's here. It's
Spring. It's Spring. It's Spring.
Bathing Suits Adopted
Pagan sun - worshippers have
shed shorts and adopted bathing
suits. It will soon be difficult to

East Quad was at its most co-

One lonely one consoled him-

Tag Day
Unwilling philanthropists con-
ducted a more vigorous battle than
usual, evading buckets of pink
tags.
Mysterious red hearts appeared
on the sidewalks and caused Eng-

The empty League fountain

Comments on the situation

Increase
Would Meet
*gh Payroll
IHC To Hold
Special Meeting
By VERNON NAHRGANG
A proposal by the University
Financial Office to increase room
and board rates in the Residence
Halls $20 a year was announced
yesterday by former Inter-House
Council President Tom Bleha, '56.-
The recommended increase would
meet the higher payroll for full-
time employees and would cover
the amount required for board for
the three additional days in next
year's revised school calendar
year.
Bleha explained that the pro-
posal would be presented to the
Residence Halls Board of Go- --
nors Tuesday and then to the Re-
gents at their meeting next Fri-
day.
Special Meeting Slated
IHC plans to hold a special
meeting early next week to discuss
the proposed room and board raise.
A report from the Financial
Office ofpthe University, distrib-
uted to IHC members, pointed out
that the payroll increase amounted
to $16.15, and the three days of
board to $6, totalling $22.15. How-
ever, the proposed increase is only
$20.
Increased payroll costs apply
only to full-time employes of the
Residence Halls, and therefore
does not include students, whos
considered part-time workers.
102% Over 1939 Rates
The Financial Office report fur-
ther points out that with this new
increase, men's rates would be 102
per cent higher than 1939 rates
for a comparable room.
"Operational expense," the re-
port continues, ". . . has increased
from 94 per cent for supplies to
195% for Salaries and Wages over
the 1939 rate expense.
"The cost of Social Security and
increased costs of University Serv-
ices, such as laundry, plant main-
tenance, etc., because. of salary in-
creases in these departments will
be absorbed by the Residence Halls.
Costs Not Reflected
"These additional costs of opera-
tion are not reflected in the pro-
posed rate increase."
Sudden announc~ment of the;
proposal yesterday, with plans to
take it to the Board of Governors
and Regents next week, caused
consternation among IH Cmem-
bers.
"This hinged by and large on
the State Legislature appropriation
which was just completed," Bleha
explained. "Until then, the Finan-
cial Office didn't know for sure
what their operating costs would
be."'
1M1C First Notified
Bleha also lauded the fact that
the IHC was the first to hear of
the proposal.
He speculated on four steps that
the IHC could take in regard to
the proposal: fight it, approve it

with recommendations, tacitly ap-
prove, or do nothing. Bleha then
suggested that the council elimi-
nate all but the "approve it with
recommendations" move.
Lambda Ci

The local Lambda Chi Alpha
chapter will be host to the annual
convention of the fraternity's re-
gional organization this weekend.
Twenty chapters will be repre-
sented by delegations ranging from

ing at the local chapter house.
Discussions of chapter organiza-

Also at the Union will be a din-

Chopin Misunderstood,' Editor
Of Vatican Says of Composer
"Chopin is one of the most mysterious and misunderstood of
the great 19th Century men," Mattio Glinski said yesterday.
In the first of three lectures devoted to "Some New Aspects of
Chopin" the music editor of the Vatican daily newspaper expressed
his beliefs about the character of the great composer.
"There are great outbursts of despair throughout his music that
cannot be explained by Chopin's illness. Those who maintain that he
Qwas physically abnormal com-

mit a grave error. To -understand
the man it is absolutly indispens-
ible to look into the depths of his
soul," Glinski said.
Studied Biographical Material
Glinski submitted all of the bio-
graphical material that he could
obtain to a microscopic investi-
gation. It became apparent to him
that the composer's illnesses could
not help but affect his personality,
but that they had not the slighest
effect on his music.
Biographers have continued to
spread the story of a composer
"chaste and pure as a maiden's
bed" according to Glinski. This is
a conception as inaccurate as that
of Chopin as a non-religious per-
sonality. He cited examples from
recently discovered letters and
journals to prove the point.
"The period in which he lived
could be called a collective re-
ligious complex, but the composer
himself was very close to the
church. His servant told of nights
spent in prayer and cries of "O
God, God have mercy upon me,"
Glinski said.
Additional Comments
Other documents declare the
sensuality of the artist, Glinski

ergy Commissioner Thomas E.
