'INVOLVEMENT' IN COLLEGE (See Page 4) L Latest Deadline in the State 11aii4 MOSTLY FAIR AND COOLER VOL. LXVI, No. 17 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1955 EIGHT PAGES Study of Rushing To Be Requested Council to Consider Seven-Member Committee at Meeting Wednesday By GAIL GOLDSTEIN _ Student Government Council will be asked Wednesday to appoint a seven-member committee to study the present University rushing system. Daily Managing Editor Dave Baad, '56, will make the motion which also provides that the committee report back to the Council by the first week in March with a definite proposal for handling future rushing. The motion calls for a committee consisting of representatives from the four housing groups (Interfraternity Council, Inter-House Circle Plant Non-Strikers Go To Work NEW CASTLE, Ind. (A)-The Perfect Circle foundry, where eight persons were shot in rioting Oct 5, reported yesterday it was step- ping up production with nonstrik- ers working under protection of National Guard tanks and guns. As new units moved in to re- lieve guardsmen who had been on duty for a week, George N. Craig issued a statement in Indianapolis hitting back at Congress of. In- dustrial Organizations criticism of his Monday declaration of martia law. The governor called the CIO criticism "completely unjustified.' He further contended local lead- ers of the striking CIO United Auto Workers had been overruled by their national headquarters on matters of strike policy. "Local Determination Usurped" "I have some reason to believe,' Craig said, "that had the local un- ions been permitted to make a decision on their own, qne of these proposals or some similar propos- al would have been accepted. This right of local determination ap- parently has beefl usurped by the professional bureaucracy and hier- archery in Detroit. "I would like to make it clear that at no time did I give any consideration to the request that the New Castle plant be kept clos- ed indefinitely. To have given in to this request would have been a surrender to mob violence and in- timidation.,' Some Production Restored A Perfect Circle spokesman said 41 of 260 production workers showed up yesterday compared with 36 Wednesday, and predicted * 50 per cent of normal production of piston ring castings would be reached early next week. The strike began July 25, with the un- ion asking higher wages and a union shop. Headquarters Backs Strike Meanwhile, in Detroit, CIO- UAW headquarters is backing up its support of the Indiana strike with two resources: money and in- fluence. Just how much money has been poured into the 12-week-old strike is a' closely guarded secret. But even with liberal strike benefits to its members there, the drain on the union's huge strike fund would be almost negligible. At its last convention, the union voted to triple its $2.50 monthly dues for four months, the extra $5 a month to go into a special strike fund. Swelled by those as- sessments and in the absence of any major recent strikes, the fund now is near its 25 million dollar limit. Engine Council Veep Resigns , The resignation of Jere Brophy, Grad, as vice-president of the Engineering Council was announ- ced at the Council's meeting last night in the Union. Electoins to fill the post vacated by Brophy will be held at the next meeting, according to Bill Dia- mond, '56E, Council president. The Council also discussed the dissolution of the separate class boards, the establishment of more permanent governing bodies for the clsss and~ a, rlan to, so,-qoiAft -O Council, Panhellenic and Assembly Association, and three SGC mem- bers to be named by SGC's exe- cutive committee. No faculty or administrativ members are included on the pro- posed committee, but they could be used for source material. The motion also calls for exist- ing study groups to participate ir the handling of relative data and statistics. e Expects Juriadictional Dispute 't The motion will be mimeograph- ed and sent to all SGC members by Monday, Baad said. He ex- pects most of the controversy tc f involve the question of whether the Council has the jurisdiction t - handle this problem. This fact was also mentioned by Dick Good, '56, SGC treasurer at the last s meeting. "This is an all-University prob- f lem, so it falls under the jurisdic- 1 tion of the Council," Baad said, He added the proposal deals with people who arent yet affili- ates, and under the present rush- ing setup many never become members of the dorm system by pledging in the first semester. Therefore this problem deals with a fringe area of the student body and definitely falls within the scope of SOC. Referring to the absence of ad- ministration or faculty members on the committee Baad said he feels since this problem is within the realm of student government, students should make the deci- sions. This, he added, doesn't pre- clude use of faculty or administra- tion personnel for source material. Calls For Deferred Rush At the Oct. 5 meeting of SGC, Baad announced that the motion twould be made at the Oct. 19 meet- ing. At that time he called spe- cifically for only second-semester pledging of both freshmen men and women. He gave the two-week notice so that interested parties could gather data to submit to the com- mittee if it is formed. Controversy on the present rushing system has led to many studies at the University, but a satisfactory system is still to be discovered according to many af- filiates. Present rushing system has pledging during the first weeks of the fall semester for both fra- ternities and sororities. Fraterni- ties rush and pledge again in the spring, while sororities use the bid day method. Deferred rushing was last at- tempted at the University in the 1930's, but failed mainly because of the effects of the depression, according to Baad. Knight Says Nixon Is out LOS ANGELES ('-Republican Gov. Goodwin Knight of Califor- nia was quoted as saying yesterday he opposed Vice President Richard M. Nixon as a possible presidential candidate because, "I just don't think Dick can win." Knight, in an interview with the Mirror-News correspondent said also that he doesn't believe that Sen. William F. Knowland (R-Cal.) can win either. Know- land has been mentioned along with Nixon as a GOP presidential prospect in case President Dwight D. Eisenhower doesn't run for re- election next year. "I was in five losing battles for Republican tickets during the Roosevelt-Truman administrations and I don't want to be in an- other," the governor was quoted. . Knight, interviewed by the pap- er's political editor, Richard C. Bergholz said that there was no animosity in his nttitie and add. Squelched! Sometimes even the squelch- ers on campus. get (squelched. At an exchange dinner in South Quad last night, two couples were sitting in the lounge after the meal. A third girl stormed over and announc- ed: "It was horrible. My date was such a dog. I couldn't wait to get away." One of the group decided he'd embarrass the excited girl, so he asked calmly, "Oh yes, you were with my rommate, weren't you?" The girl, a complete stranger, eyed him carefully for a min- ute and replied, "I DON'T doubt UNESCO: AL's Action A ttackied By Truman UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. ()-- Former President Harry S. Tru- man blamed "America Firsters" last night for the American Le- gion's vote against UNESCO Wed- nesday in its Miami, Fla., con- vention. He said "UNESCO's all right." A legionnaire himself, he told inquiring UN correspondents the legion is "a bunch of eager beaver young fellows, and some of the 'America Firsters' just got control over there and made a debacle out of the situation. It's gonna cost the legion before they're through," he added. Truman linked the issue with the isolationist ideas of the pre- Bulletin MIAMI, Fla. (M)-The Ameri. can Legion yesterday beat down a move calling for the United States to withdraw com- pletely from the United Na- tions. war America First organization in his comment yesterday on the convention's plea that Congress repeal the 1956 law that drafted the United States Commission for UNESCO. ' He and his wife and daughter, Margaret, came here late yester- day for a 45-minute visit with secretary General Dag Hammasrk- jold. Dr. Luther Evans, director gen- eral of UNESCO, denied the le- gion's charges that his agency was out for world government. He said UNESCO's only aim is to "bring together the peoples of the world in the fields of educa- tion, science and culture" for bet-I ter mutual understanding. Sec. Benson 'Concerned' Over Prices WASHINGTON (R) - Adminis- tration leaders were reported to- day to have given Secretary of Ag- riculture Ezra Taft Benson free rein to draft proposed additions to GOP farm policies designed to speed recovery of farm income. The emphasis was on the term "addition" - because Benson has declared there will no retreat from present Republican policies which feature flexible farm price sup- ports as contrasted with high, rigid price floors of the Truman administration. These reports came on the heels ,of a conference Benson held with Vice President Richard M. Nixon yesterday. They also followed talk in farm circles that top adminis- tration officials were split on whether the government was do- ing enough to help farmers. Sources close to Benson, who asked that they not be named", said the secretary was "quite hap- py" with recent developments, in- cluding his meeting with Nixon. Benson declared after his ses- sion with Nixon that "there is no split" within the administration over farm policies. "The Cabinet is solidly behind the administra- tion," he said. Nixon did not comment. He said in advance that Benson "will speak; for me." Sororities Apathetic to FBA Plan Won't Save Money Housemothers Say By LEE MARKS Fraternity Buying Association suffered its first setback yesterday when plan for including sororities fell through, at least temporarily. Sorority housemothers and fi- nancial advisors were decidedly lukewarm on the cooperate buying program as outlined to them by FBA Purchasing Agent Mike Bar- ber, '57. Most housemothers felt they had nothing to gain by joining the plan and were reluctant to severe ties with merchants they had dealt with for many years. Sums Up Sentiment Mrs. Dorothy Frost, Delta Delta Delta housemother, summed up prevailing sentiment by comment- ing, "I don't believe savings would be that large for us. House direc- tors are experienced buyers, fra- ternity stewards aren't. Fraterni- ties needed the plan badly - we don't." A show-of-hands vote clearly showed sorority house directors were solidly behind Mrs. Frost. Want to See Prices House directors said they want- ed to see FBA prices on specific items. Most of them seemed to feel they save more now than they would by joining FBA. Barber explained it is difficult to compute accurate statistics on savings because prices fluctuate. The comparison figures house mothers want are not yet avail- able, Barber said, but will be com- piled as soon as possible. A major obstacle in inducing sororities to join now is the dif- ferences in foods used. While fraternities use large quantities of canned goods soror- ities lean heavily on frozen and fresh foods. FBA deals only in canned goods now but hopes to expand in other fields. "The thing you're trying to sell us is what we're least interested in -canned goods," one house director commented. Loyalty to Merchants One problem that plagued FBA last spring when fraternities join- ed cropped up again yesterday- loyalty to merchants. Mrs. Leighton Knapp, alumni advisor to Alpha Xi Delta, claimed, "Loyalty to the firms who have taken care of us all these years is worth something - also, they give us discounts too." Under FBA regulations, mem- bers must buy from wholesalers through FBA. Despite lack of enthusiasm on the part of housemothers, Barber indicated efforts to induce soror- ities to join the plan would not be abandoned. Panhellenic Associaation Presi- dent Debbie Townsend, '56, told the group, "We will find out the prices you want and send you information from time to time in the hope that some of you will come in on a trial basis." Several sorority presidents and stewards commented after the meeting that sororities may not be as disinterested as yesterday's meeting seemed to indicate. Reluctant to Change C e president said, "Part of the pro em is that house mothers are reluctant to change."' Barber conceded FBA would not immediately effect the same sav- ings for sororities it had for fra- ternities but said he thought in the long run both groups would profit. After the meeting several housemothers approached Barber and said they had not meant to discourage him or belittle the plan. Agreeing that FBA had done a good job working with fraternities. they said they just didn't feel it would help their groups. Pan American Orders Jets I In an announcement made yes- terday, Pan American World Air- ways agreed to contracts totaling $269,000,000 purchase of jet trans- ports. While some other airlines have stated their intentions of buying jet transnorts. Pan American was InI Arms Delivery Soviets Balk At U.S. Move On Poland Charge Damage To Geneva Pact UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. (p)-- The Soviet Union declared yester- day attempts by the United States to keep Communist Poland from winning a seat on the UN Security Council are damaging the spirit of Geneva and putting a stumb- ling block in the path of interna- tional cooperation. But V. V. Kuznetsov, the -chief Soviet delegate to the UN,. at a news conference where he outlined his country's position, dismissed as "not pertinent" a question as to whether the Soviet Union would continue to cooperate with the Council and other agencies in event of a Polish defeat. Poland, Philippines Battle The 60-nation General Assembly will elect three non-permanent members to the 11-nation Council today. The only contest is be- tween Poland and the Philippines, and both sides are claiming enough support to win on the first-ballot. A two-thirds majority is required and balloting continues until a nation receives the margin of vic- tory. Cuba and Australia are regarded as virtually certain to win the other two seats on the Council- the high-level body charged by the JN with the task of maintain ing international peace and secur- ity. U.S. Backs Philippines The United States is leading the campaign to elect the Philippines to the seat being vacated by Tur- key. Cuba is the candidate for the seat being vacated by Brazil and Australia for New Zealand's. Asked whether the Soviet Union would consider the Geneva spirit still in existence in event of Poland's defeat, Kuznetsov said he could better answer that question after today's voting. He said it was the duty of all the delegates to vote for Poland. Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr., the chief U.S. delegate, charged Wednes- day that Poland had done little to aid international peace which would qualify her for a seat. I Ask Hospital For Mental Ill LANSING ()-A Republican legislative leader urged Gov. G. Mennen Williams today to press his demands for federal permis- sion to use the Fort Custer station hospital as a home for mentally retarded children. Rep. Allison Green (R-King- ston), the Republican.House Floor Leader, told Gov. Williams that State use of the closed Army hos- pital would eliminate about half of the 1,221 list of children wait- ing admission to State hospitals. Green argued also that use of the Army installation would sub- stantially reduce the money need- ed to pick up the waiting list. -Courtesy-Howie Shapiro DR. LIVINGSTON, I PRESUME?-From. the depths of darkest Africa came these two campus visitors yesterday. Representing characters from the mysterious continent, two members of a local fraternity captivated curious and frightened onlookers on the Diag. Previewing a "Meet Me in Africa Party," to be held to- morrow night, the ferocious pair grimaced and grunted in true African style. JOHN ROXBOROUGH: Predicts NEPrC Laws In Most" Northern StatesI Russian Haste Seen By PETE ECK$TEIN Speedy passage of fair employ- ment practice laws in most north- ern states was predicted last night by John Roxborough, chairman of the Michigan legal committee of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. In a talk before the Young Re- publicans, he said passage of an FEPC law in Michigan would help acquaint neighboring states with the practicability of such a pro- gram. Michigan's law, the thirteenth' adopted by a state, goes into ef- fect next week. Roxborough Describes Plan As Roxborough described the group's planned procedure, on re- ceipt of a complaint of employ- ment discrimination, an FEPC in- vestigator will "go out and talk with the personnel director of the firm or a union official. Empha- sis is on conciliation and educa- tion," he continued. "There's no attempt to hurry or force an employer" during the early discussions. If investigators find discrimi- natory practices exist and are con- tinuing, a hearing is held before the FEPC board. "If a finding is made against an employer," Roxborough ex- plained, "he is ordered to cease discriminiation. If he doesn't, it's. a matter for the circuit courts." Board Cannot Prosecute Emphasizing that the board it- self has no power to prosecute of- fenders, he told the YR's that the court has to find that discrimi- nation exists before it enjoins em- ployers to change their employ- ment practices. "If the employer still refuses, he, can be found guilty of contempt of court." "In ten years of operation in New York," Roxborough added, "there's been only one case that's had to go to court." However, he said experience with FEPC has shown "it is difficult for a law to work unless some- where in the background you do have a compulsory feature." Ike To Talk. ToAdvisors DENVER (JP)- President Dwight D. Eisenhower recovered suffic- iently for the Denver White House to announce he will confer here Monday with Secretary of Defense Charles E. Wilson and Adm. Ar- thur W. Radford, chairman of the Joint. Chiefs of Staff. In a "happy mood" on the eve f his 65th birthday, he was well enough,:too, to sip a cup of coffee and wave to fellow patients from an eighth floor hospital sundeck. And Mrs. Eisenhower left the hospital for the first time. since the President's heart attack, Sept. 24, spending an hour-and-a-half visiting her mother, Mrs. John S. Doud, and taking a drive in the sunshine. The decision to see Sec. Wilson and Adm. Radford, for a talk on defense and security, was an- nounced by White House news secretary James C. Hagerty after a long distance telephone talk with Sherman Adams, the President's chief deputy, who was in Wash- ington for today's Cabinet meet- ing. Free World Fears Start Of Arab War Tensions Mount In Middle East WASHINGTON (P)-Russia Is expected to move quickly in get- ting arms to Egypt, possibly at cut. rate prices, and thereby hasten- ing Middle East tensions toward a. crisis. An explosion of the Palestine truce into Arab-Israeli war was seen as a definite possibility when- ever Red Czechoslovakia startsde- livery on its cannon-for-cotton deal with Egypt. American officials made no bones yesterday about their fear of the results of the Soviet's mili- tary and trade excursions into the area. Nor did they play down ap- prehension over what Israel might do as a counter to Arab pur- chases of Red arms. NSC Meets Yesterday The National Security Council, top policy-making body in the United States government, took up the question at its secret session yesterday. The United States, Britain and France, it was learned, will press Russia informally at the Oct. 27 foreign ministers meeting in Gen- eva on the Middle East arms ques- tion. This would follow up an ap- proach to Soviet Foreign Minister Vyacheslav M. Molotov at New York twoweeks ago, Ignorant ofdEgypt Deal Molotov is understood to have told his western colleagues then he knew nothing about Egypt's deal to swap cotton for Czech artillery, tanks, naval vessels and jet planes. He promised to look into it. Despite Molotov's professions of ignorance, however, United States officials look for swift Soviet action to get the war goods into Egyptian hands. There was specu- lation, too, that Russia might ab- andon its old rule of charging premium prices for war goods, let- ting Egypt and other Arab states -indeed, Israel, too, if interested -have the arms at a nominal price. Israel Government Changes Israeli leaders have said their country will take all necessary steps to protect itself. Israel gets a new government Monday. Its makeup includes men who are re- ported to believe in more action and less talk than heretofore. A foreign policy and security debate will get under way among these leaders Monday. The Russians have lost no time in making arms overtures,to other Arab states. Lebanon and Saudi Arabia have said they are not op- posed to accepting Communist arms. Syria is reported already dickering with Czech gun mer chants at Damascus. IU Students Raid Football Practice Field' Special to The Daily. BLOOMINGTON, IND. -- Five thousand Indiana University stu- dents descended on the Hoosiers' football practice yesterday, in an- swer to newspaper criticism derid- ing their school spirit. The pep rally at they football practice came after men students gained permission to e n t e r women's dormitories to enlist "vol- unteers" for the rally. Dormitories and houses postponed their even- ing meals an hour to accomodate the demonstrators. The rally was first phase of "Operation V," the second phase of which will be held tonight in the form of a scheduled rally. The ADMINISTRATIVE WING: SGC Approves Partial. Reorganization Student Government Council Wednesday approved a new struc- tural organization for the admin- istrative wing. Proposed by Daily Managing Editor Dave Baad, '56, a member of the design committee, the new setup calls for a hierarchy of mem- bers. Students will first attend a mass Michigan's student government.
