Sorority Council
Move Questioned
Reported Under Internal Criticism
For Suspension of Two Chapters
By PETER ECKSTEIN
Sigma Kappa's national council is reportedly under criticism from
within the national sorority for its action in suspending its local
chapters at Cornell and Tufts Universities.
While the national council has consistently refused to give any
specific reasons for the suspensions other than "the good of the whole
sorority," both chapters pledged Negroes last spring.
According to SGC treasurer Joe Collins, '58, "it has been rumored
that there is a certain amount of unconstitutionality on the part of
the national council."
Several Issues Involved
There are several possible issues involved. Aside from the ques-
Ttion of the propriety of suspend-

Exp~ect SGC
'To Consider
Sigma Kappa
-.
Student Government Council is
expected to consider the status of
Sigma Kappa sorority at its meet-
Ang at 7:30 p.m. today in the
Union.
SGC treasurer Joe Collins, '58,
predicted yesterday that "it will
be recommended that some type
of a limited study group will be
set up withdinstructions to report
back as soon as is feasible."
He commented he felt that "in
light of the attitude of the na-
tional, the burden of proof lies
with the sorority."
Sigma Kappa's national council
has refused to specify why it sus-
pended its chapters at Tufts and
Cornell Universities, both of which
pledged Negro women.
Collins and other SGC members
have expressed the view that if it
is determined that the local chap-
ter is subject to suspension should
it pledge Negro women, it would
be in violation of University regu-
lations for recognized campus or-
ganizations.
Collins also commented that "it
Swould be advantageous -to the
whole situation "If the local soror-
ity would take a stand on the
action of the national sorority
council and its local implications.
Also on the Council agenda is
an appointment to fill the posi-
tion left vacant by the resignation
of former Daily City Editor Jim
Dygert, '56BAd. The temporary
appointment will be effective until
SGC elections in November.

In Water Bill
The University hasn't given the
city any indication of how much it
will contribute towards the $900,
000 water bill which development
of North Campus will entail, in-
formed sources claimed yesterday.
At a City Council meeting Mon-
day Ann Arbor Mayor William
E. Brown reported that the Uni-
versity is willing to pay only $60,-
000 to $100,000.
City officials also claimed they
had originally estimated a Univer-
sity contribution of 75 per cent of
the $900,000.
University officials said they
were still waiting for the results
of an engineering study of the area
and didn't know where the city's
figures came from.
They claimed they hadn't indi-
cated anything to the city yet be-
cause they hadn't seen results of
the study.
The issue was raised at a special
council meeting called to consider
what the city could do to hold the
interest of Parke, Davis which is
considering building a ten million
dollar research laboratory on the
North Campus.

ing chapters-if it were in fact
the reason-for pledging Negroes,
several sources have reported dis-1
sension within the national on the
question of the national council's
authority to suspend locals.
For one thing, the timing of the
suspensions-less than one month
after the adjournment of Sigma
Kappa's national convention on
July 1-has been a subject of some
discussion.
Jane Otto, president of the
Michigan province of Sigma
Kappa, commented during -her
current Ann Arbor visit that she
could not think of any hypotheti-
cal situation justifying suspension
which might have arisen soley
during July.
Heard Nothing;
Mrs. Otto reported, however,
tha she "hadn't heard a word" of
any dispute within the national
sorority on the issue of power to
suspend.
Herdconcern, she added, is
mainly with matters in the Mich-
igan province.
If any suspension were to be
made by the convention itself, Mrs.
Otto continued, it could only be
made on the floor of the lobby, and
no discussion of the status of
either the Tufts or the Cornell
groups occurred on the floor.
She refused for want of fact
to discuss the propriety of the
council's suspension of locals for
actions which may have occured
months before the convention,,
which is the supreme governing
body of the national sorority.
Question Rumored
Another question which has
been rumored at issue is that of
whether the five-woman council
can take action on an issue as im-
portant as suspensions withou't
the approval of the sorority's
larger executive board.
A third possible constituational
issue is whether "the good of the
sorority" is sufficient grounds for
the suspension of a local, especially
in absence of both specific charges
and supporting evidence.

Known Violations
Put at 'Under 25'
By TAMMY MORRISON
and WILLAM HANEY
Several violations of the new
University driving regulations have
been reported since strict enforce-
ment began at 8 a.m. Monday.
Setting the number of violations
at "under 25," Assistant Dean of
(Men Karl D. Streiff explained
little would be known' about exact
number or types of violations until
University Patrol reports are gone
over at the end of this week.
Cars have been stopped for ac-
cidents, parking violations, and
improper display of decals. Ac-
cording to Streiff, the majority of
drivers stopped have been given
"educational counseling" on the
new rules.
"At the moment, our concern is
mainly to give students an oppor-
tunity to register their cars and
time to dispose of unauthorized
cars," Streiff said.
4,045 Permits Issued
To date, the Office of Student
Affairs has granted 3,975 exempt
permits, 25 commuting ermits, 15
business permits, four ealth per-
mits and 26 storage permits, bring-
ing the total to 4,045, slightly more
than OSA's minimum estimate of
4,000.
However, Streiff anticipates at
least 1,000 more students will reg-
ister their cars during the coming
year, bringing the total to slightly
more than the maximum 5,000
estimate.
Although the number of cars
now on campus falls well below
last year's official 4,800,. the Ann
Arbor Police Department's Traffic
Bureau has noted a marked up-
swing in congestion.
Congestion is mainly due to in-
crease in the parking problem, ac-
cording to Lt. Harrison Schlupe,
of the Traffic Bureau. An average
of almost 450 tickets per day has

REPRISAL:
Israeli ftaid
Wins Arab
Army Base
JERUSALEM, Israeli Sector (1)
-Israeli troops attacked Jordan
Army positions overnight and re-
ported this morning about 50 Jor-
danian soldiers were killed at Hus-
san, in Jordan-held territory.
The Israeli attacks apparently
were undertaken in a deliberate
campaign of retaliation.
An Israeli army spokesman said
a Jordan police station was blown
up and two armored cars were
destroyed.
Base Taken
A Jordan army base was re-
ported captured and dynamited
and a large amount of booty was
taken.
The Israeli attack was appar-
ently in reprisal for Jordan at-
tacks Sunday on an archaeological
outing in Israel and Monday on
a Jewish woman olive grove work-
er.
Jordan attributed the Sunday
attack on Israel to a soldier who
had suddenly gone berserk. Four
were killed and 18 wounded in the
Sunday shooting.
Reprisal Foreseen
Authorities in Jordan had an-a
ticipated retaliation by clearing
traffic from the main road lead-
ing from Jordan-held old Jerusa-
lem Into the Jordan hinterland.
The Israeli army spokesman in
his post-midnight announcement
this morning said an Israel army
unit attacked a Jordan army posi-
tion inAhe Hussan area south of
Jerusalem during the night.
Hussan is in Jordan territory,
about 21/2 miles to the south of the
Israel-Jordan armistice demarca-
tion line and about six miles1
southeast of Jerusalem.
Baghdad radio said yesterday
Jordan authorities closed the road'
from the Arab-administered old
city section of Jerusalem.4
Joint Judic
Staff, Short
Joint Judiciary Council will ap-
point two students to fill Coun-
cil vacancies early next week.
Procedure for these appoint-7
ments will differ from methods
usdin the past, according to Mike
McNerney, '57L, Joint Judiciary1
Chairman.
Nominations for the positions
will be accepted from members of
Joint Judiciary and Student Gov-,
ernment Council. Interviewing willj
be conducted, as usual, by officers
of Joint Judiciary and SOC.
Normally, petitioning is open to
any University student. But be-
cause of. sorority and fraternity
rushing, all-campus petitioning
will not be feasible for a month,
and the positions must be filled
as soon as possible, according to
McNerney.
The two vacancies were caused1
when Bob Burgee, '57, was drafted
and Robin Olliver, '57E, became1
academically ineligible.

SUEZ CRISIS:
Britain, France Battle
Egypt's tNAccusation
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. (R) - France and Britain fought with
evident bitterness yesterday to beat down Egypt's counter-attack
against them in the Suez Canal controversy.
A procedural wrangle is expected when the United Nations
Security Council meets at 2 p.m. today for the first round on the
new case, just two months after Egyptian President Gamal A.
Nasser seized the canal.
The result is in doubt. The United States kept its stand secret
but the Soviet Union was reported backing Egypt in the developing
UN battle over the 103-mile waterway.
Bernard Cornut-Gentille, French delegate, said France will

For Dewey
Discrepancy'
Involves Engman,
Prof. Brandt
By JAMES ELSMAN, JR.
Former New Ydrk, Governo
Thomas E. Dewey will visit the
campus today amid a holocaust of
controversy and discrepancy con-
cerning the denial of television
privile'ges for his Hill Auditorium
address.
Prof. Carl G. Brandt, secretary
of the University Lecture Com-
mittee, when contacted yesterday
regarding reports that the campus
Young Republicans were denied
television rights by the Committee,
said, "No group has requested TV
privileges for Gov. Dewey's ad-
dress."
Association Not Enjoyed
YR President Lewis Engman, '57,
claimed yesterday he asked Prof.
Brandt for TV permission. It was
denied, Engman said, because
"Brandt.said the University would
not enjoy the association with a
partisan political address."
When confronted later with
Engman's statement, Prof. Brandt
a dm it t ed "we mentioned- TV
rights," but that he didn't under
stand that the YR leader was ask-
ing "formally."
When asked by The Daily if he
had informed Engman of the for-
mal procedure for making such a
request and if he considered their
disucssion informal, Prof. Brandt
hung up the phone.
Engman claims also that Prpf.
Brandt told him he consulted the
complete committee -before making
his "inforial" denial of TV privi-
ledges.
Prof. Clark Z. Dickinson of the
economics department, a Com-
mittee member, said he hadn't
heard "anything about TV rights"
for the Dewey address.
Professor Not Informed
Prof. William W. Blume of the
law school, another committee
member, said he was convalescing
from a recent illness and hadn't
been informed about the TV re-
quest.
He noted that "many routine
matters a rehandled by Brandt."
Prof. Carl H. Fischer of the
business administration schoo th
claimed the TV matter was news
to him, that a "formal" request
necessitated a written form and
that "the Secretary often handles
routine matters when no contro-
versial issues such as subversion
are involved"
Engman revealed that his group
sought TV rights because Gov.
Dewey's speech will be his election
year kickoff address, an important
GOP policy declaration.
Both Republican state and na-
tional committees were interested
in beaming the broadcast across
the country, Engman noted.
Filming Not Allowed
"We will not even be allowed a
filming or tape recording of the
procedings," complained the YR
chieftain.
Two Regent Bylaws, in places
nearly incongruous, pertain to the
Committee's "informal" denial of
television rights to the YR's

Stevenson Accuses GOP.
Of Appeasing Peron
MIAMI, Fla. W) - Adlai E. Stevenson accused the administra-
tion yesterday of appeasing the Peron regime in Argentina and linked
President Dwight D. Eisenhower's brother with the alleged appease-
ment.
The Democratic presidential nominee withdrew at the last min-
ute, however, an accusation that "a huge concession in Argentina was
granted to an American company under circumstances "which an-
gered the Argentine public not only against Peron but against Am-
erica and American business as well."
Stevenson's personal aide, Roger Tubby, told newsmen only an
hour before the scheduled delivery of the speech that Stevenson
felt the matter of the concession
should not be "intruded" into the
campaign. SUGGEST SCATTERED

E.gypT accuses us of vioa ng
the U.N. charter," Cornut-Gentille
said, "we definitely cannot accept
that. This Egyptian move is aj
maneuver."
French Foreign Minister Chris-
tian Pineau told the National As-
sembly's Committee on Foreign
Affairs in Paris those nations
whichsstand firm against Nasser
"will in the end serve the cause
of peace."
Pineau is exepected here Oct. 3.

tary Selwyn Lloyd will come next
week for the council debates and
the Egyptians also expect their

Good Times
For Farmers
PEORIA, Ill. (R) - President
Dwight D. Eisenhower pledged
American farmers yesterday night
"a full share in our country's good
times."
He said his administration is
making "good progress" toward
that goal.
President Eisenhower told a
cheering audience that overflowed
the 10,000 person capacity of
Bradley University Fieldhouse that
the rigid price support program
endorsed by rival Adlai E. Steven-
son is a "political grab bag" that
holds nothing but "mockery and
deceit" for the farmers.
The President employed the
most forceful language he has
used in the campaign in mount-
ing, in a nationally televised
speech, a scathing indictment of
Democratic policies of the past
and present.
He did not mention Stevenson
by name, but he referred scorn-
fully to the "price depressing"
programs of the Democrats and
accused them of "politicking at
the farmers' expense,"
Accompanied by Mr . Eisenhow-
er, the President fleW here from
Washington for a rousing recep-
tion from a crowd variously esti-
mated at up to 65,000 persons.
Cheering spectators lined' the
five-mile route from the airport to
a downtown hotel. President Eis-
enhower stood most of the way in
his open-top car, waving greetings.
