Pleas in Session
Speech Touches off Huge Uproar;
Asks Parliament Vote of Confidence
JERUSALEM (P) - Under taunts and badgering at an uproarious
session last night, Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion asked Parlia-
ment to support his decision to pull Israeli troops out of Egypt and
Gaza.
Hecklers drowned out his words at times as he wearily defended
his withdrawal decision. He is seeking a vote of confidence.
Biggest Uproar
When Ben-Gurion sat down, the opposition touched off the big-
gest uproar ever heard in the Israeli Parliament. It took the speak-
er five minutes to restore order.
Ben-Gurion declared the aim of the October invasion was deliv-
erance of Israel from danger of Arab attack, not conquest.
He implied that goal was ach-

Letters Set
.For Maling
Disagreements over wording
having been resolved, Student
Government Council will send out
letters today advising National
Sigma Kappa and other interested
parties of SGC's Feb. 13 actior
with regard to the sorority.
Although Dean of Women Deb-
orah Bacon and Vice-President for
Student Affairs James A. Lewis
were "concerned" with statemen
in the letter, SGC President Joe
Collins, '58, said the letters would
go out without change in word-
ing.
Dean Bacon said yesterday she
is "always deeply ,concerned with
the actions and words of SGC'
because "this is the voice of the
University."
The letter, approved by SGC last
Wednesday, states, "The basis for
the decision was the action taken
by National Sigma Kappa at Tufts
and Cornell . ..."
This, statement, which sets the
basis for SGC's action, is reported-'
ly one questioned by Dean Bacon.
She refused to discuss any speci-
fic objections with The Daily yes-
terday, but said she had "specific
objections to wordings lots of
times."
The letter explains the action
SGC took with Sigma Kappa and
outlines the council's rationale and
considerations in dealing with the
sorority and finding it in violation
of University regulations,
A two-page letter, it explains the
various recommendations for ac-
tion made by SGC's Sigma Kappa
Committee. "The majority of the
recommendations involve a period
of 'grace'," the letter notes.
The letter had been examined
and altered slightly before it was
approved at last week's SGC meet-
ing.
Collins said that any disagree-
ment over the letter was purely in
the English, and that the main
concern was with whether the let-
ter was consistent with SGC's past
action and expressions.
~ Mayor Brown
Reprimanded
By Eldersveld
Samuel J. Eldersveld, Democratic
candidate for mayor of Ann Arbor,
sharply criticized Mayor William E.
Brown for his attack on City
Council Candidate Arthur Carpen-
ter.
Carpenter expressed the view
that Republican leadership on the
recent capital improvements issues
were inadequate. Brown replied
with a sharp attack on the pros-
pective council member.
Eldersveld, speaking to a group
of supporters, said that "Brown is
the kind of fellow we can expect
this from. He hasn't learned the
lessons cf democracy." He referred
to the role of the opposition in
criticizing the party in office.
The University political science
professor also reviewed the 12-
point Democratic platform, calling
it a "clear-cut, workable document
Sieved.
"I am keenly aware of the dan-
gers and drawbacks involved in
the settlement we have made," he
told Parliament.
UN Guarantees
While Israel did not receive the
United Nations guarantees of se-
curity against Arab attack that
were demanded, Ben-Gurion said:
"The President of the United
States has assumed a moral re-
sponsibility toward Israel and
many other nations have made
statements which involve a moral
commitment"
With these assurances of sup-
port for maintainmg peace in the
Middle East, Ben-Gurion said, "I
do not hesitate to advise the
members of the Knesset (Parlia-
ment) and the people of Israel to
accept this settlement."
Opposition Motion
Today he faces the opposition's
motion of no-confidence. He is
expectedtowin out.
Four hours before he spoke,
speakers at a mass rally in this
old holy city acused him of sur-
render and demanded that he re-
sign.

Dismissals1
Claimed
Unjustified
South Quad Council
Criticizes Explanation
By RICHARD TAUB
South Quadrangle Council re-
solved last night they could "find
no justification" for the recent
dismissal of three quad residents,
after it had studied bean of Men
Walter B. Rea's letter explaining
the expulsion.
The resolution concerns three
men, David Gumenick, '59, Jeffery
Mandel, '59, and Roger Gottfreid,
'59, who were asked to leave the
quad, after connection with a De-
troit newspaper article.
Best Judgement
Because the Council thought the
residence halls conference commit-
tee "did not use its best-judgement
in this case," the council requested
further cl irification of what "con-
stitutes an 'undesirable resident'."
Although recognizing s t o r i e s
concerning, the December food
demonstration in Detroit news-
papers were exaggerated, the reso-
lution says the men's statements
to the newspaper were "in no way
unreasonable."
Reports Exaggerated
It said exaggeration present in
these reports is more "logically as-'
cribed to Ann Arbor Police Depart-
ment and to irresponsible journal-
ists."
The resolution deplores the pun-
i-hment of these students without
presentation of charges, or an op-
portunity to defend themselves.
Finally, it questions the bypass
of judiciary hearings, and urges
judicial action in the future.
Express Opinion
Statement enml asized no stu-
dent should be punished forsex-
pressing an opinion to a news-1
paper, if it is held by many stu-
dents or "based on facts."
- A Detroit newspaper reporter
covered the :neeting, after receiv-
ing a letter concerning the reso-
lution signed by Bill Jones, '60,E
president of Scott House.
However, Jones emphatically de-
nied any connection with the let-r
ter.
He said that several people have
compared his signature with that
on the letter and have found no
similarity.
"Whoever wrote this letter," hel
explained, "did great harm to the
value of the resolution."
He thought it had been a fair'
resolution, which would help to1
solve a student problem with the
administration.
"It certainly wasn't a publicityr
gag," he concluded.

of Sigma Chi, President of Inter-
fraternity Council.
He defeated fellow-candidate

presidency.
Stepped Down
Gerber then stepped down to
win the administrative vice-presi-
dency from fellow candidates Fred
Wright, '59, of Beta Theta Pi, and

Sigma. Ruhala had been nomin-
ated from the floor.

Religion Panel
Airsstudent,
Faculty Views
By JOHN WEIGHER
Each religion should be taught
at the University by believers of
that religion, Prof. George B. Har-
rison of the English department
claimed at a faculty-student panel
last night.
The panel discussed how religion
should be taught during a general
discussion of "What Happens to
God on the Campus?" held as part
of All-Campus Conference on Reli-
gion.
Specific Religions
Fred Trost, '57, Union executive
vice-president, said he believed
courses in specific religions taught
from the point of view of the par-
ticular religion had no place in a
state-supported university. He fa-
vored a course presenting a general
picture of religious knowledge, on
the ground that religion is an im-
portant intellectual discipline.
Daily City Editor Lee Marks, '57,
said religion is now taught in many
courses at the University, citing
as examples courses in Far Eastern
religions and the Italian Renais-
sance. He{referred to a statement
by Prof. Kenneth E. Boulding of
the economics department that le
"sneaked religion in sideways" in
economics courses.
Religious Belief
"You can't do more than this
without inculcating religious be-
lief," Marks said.
Jean Scruggs, '58, Assembly pres-
ident, suggested a course be taught
in comparative religion and offered
as a humanities elective. But Lau-
rence B. Slobodkin of the zoology
department said that religion "is

Approximately 150 vacancies

Francis C. Shiel, manager of Ser-

yesterday.
This contrasts with women's
residence halls which are 163 over
capacity according to Assistant
Dean of Women Elsie R. Fuller.
Prof. Lionel Laing, of the Po-
litical Science department, told
the Board they should try to an-
ticipate problems of doubling up

He expressed concern over the
increased load of counselling for
residence hall staff men, caused by
expansion, and asked if counsel-
lors could be given single rooms
to better cope with their responsi-

Shiel expressed sympathy with
this point of view, but explained
