ANN ARBOR NEEDS PARKE, DAVIS (See Page 4) SirF iii Latest Deadline in the State CLOUDY, WARMER VOL. LXVII, No. 7 * ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1956 EIGHT PAGE 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. 'U'Silent About Share 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. See SORORITY'S, page 2 CHANGES SPEECH: 'U' Reports Auto Ifan in fractions 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 See ACUTE, page 3 Television Brings ew Controversy THOMAS E. DEWEY .. to speak tonight Dewey Talk Set Tonight Thomas E.

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.

(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 oppose the move by Egypt to put on the council agenda an item Qralleging that Anglo-French actions against Egypt are a danger to peace. y # 5.yjJI, AU t 1 f i 0± V tir±t # Feud Rages; Still No TV 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 "These regulations . . . are de- signed to serve the educational in- terests of the academic community rather than the political interests See TV page 2 Sen. Douglas To Make 'U' Senator Paul H. Douglas (D- 11.) will speak at the University on Oct. 4, it was announced yes- terday by Young Democrats Pres- ident Bill Peer, '57. His speech here will be part of 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. The British said Foreign Secre- tary Selwyn Lloyd will come next week for the council debates and the Egyptians also expect their Foreign Minister Mahmoud Fawzi. Ike Pie dges 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.
