LXVII, No. 150 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, WEDNESDAY, MAY 1, 1957 SIX PAGES Panhel To Ask For Fall Rushing Deferred Rushing Calendar May Be Presented at Tonight's SGC Meeting By RICHARD TAUB Panhellenic Association will petition for a fall rushing program for next year at the Student Government Council meeting at 7:30 p.m. today in the Student Activities Building. The group also will probably present a deferred rushing calen- dar which sets the dates for its first mixer Dec. 6-8. In March, 1956, after heated debate, SGC had set the spring se- mester 1958 as the time for sorority rushing. Began Work in March Panhel has been working on the calendar since last March. The group continually hit snags, and faced new problems. It conferred with *MSU Dean Denies News Censorship The Michigan State News, Mich- igan State University student newspaper, ran an editorial Mon- day which it claimed that Dean of Students Tom King had ordered not to be published. Further, the News printed an editorial in the same issue saying the "censorship attempt" was "un- fair and unnecessary." King denied any censorship at- tempt. The editorial that began the controversy dealt with an MSU automatic suspension rule on four major offenses. The News claimed that students should have hearings regardless of the offense and ap- parent sureness of guilt. News Editor Comments Mel Reiter, Michigan State News editor, told The Daily that a reporter who went to King for information on the ruling was ordered not to print an editorial on it. Reiter said that the News editors felt that no administrator had a right to censor and ran the editorial anyway. Consequently, the News ran an editorial in the same issue attack- ing King for his action. The edi- torial stated that it was written, "not to spite" the Dean "but be- cause the collective members of the State News editorial board be- lieve that it is pertinent and valu- able to the student body." King claimed that no censor- ship order was imposed. He said, "I told them I couldn't do any- thing but enforce a State Board of Agriculture ruling, and that if they were going to write an editorial, to leave me out of it." No Idea of Censorship King further said, "I just felt it would be better if the editorial were not written. I had no idea of censoring the paper." The four reasons for automatic suspension at Michigan State are possessing alcohol on campus, en- tertaining a woman in men's resi- dences, overt participation in "riot" and three offenses of oper- ating a car without a permit. King said that because the paper is subsidized by student fees some thought should be given to the welfare of the university. The editorial told of a previous disagreement with King over an editorial criticizing the "hasty" suspension of seven men who par- ticipated in a panty raid. King replied that the hearing took eight days and that some of the students were called in three times to ex- plain their roles in the incident. Reiter said yesterday that no apparent disciplinary action has resulted because of the running of the editorials. Dulles Leaves For Germany WASHINGTON (AP) - Secretary of State John Foster Dulles held a 25-minute airport conference with President Dwight D. Eisenhower yesterday, then took off for a North Atlantic Treaty meeting in West Germany. A principal aim of Dulles' mis- sion is reported to be to cement the NATO alliance more firmly together in the face of the Soviet Communist threat. Sec. Dulles and Undersecretary Christian Herter were waiting at National Airport when President Eisenhower flew in from a 13-day the League, the Union, the J-Hop Committee, the Dean of Women's office and WAA on Calendaring problems. It never requested aid from SGC or Vice-President for Student Affairs, James A. Lewis. Chris Eckhard, '57Ed, former Panhel first -vice-president, ex- plained the group thought spring rush was their own responsibility, and they had to produce the best program they could on their own. Several weeks ago, Panhel sent a tentative rushing calendar to sorority presidents. It had the de- ferred rush set-up beginning with registration in November and the first set of mixers in December. Later Sets Second Semester The later sets were planned to begin after the spring semester had started, with two day breaks between each set for IBM tabulat- ing. Panhel uses IBM punch cards to help facilitate the rushing pro- gram. Trouble began when Panhel members learned the December rush program might be in viola- tion of the SGC ruling, which had set rushing for the Spring semes- ter. Panhel members claimed they had not thought a violation ex- isted because most of the program took place in February. Bruce M. Arden, supervisor of tabulating services, told The Daily that the women had been working with the December rush program for several months. Asks For Continuation Then Panhel's board of dele- gates voted Thursday to ask SGC for a continuation of fall rushing, 19 for, 1 against and 1 abstention. The vote had taken place after a brief explanation by an execu- tive officer, according to a dele- gate who wished to remain anony- mous. The women were told, accord- ing to the same source, that a pos- sible shortening of the inter-ses- sion, delay of grades, time needed for IBM tabulation and conflict with campus activitiesrwere rea- sons for the f-all rush request. Dianne Duncan, '58Ed., first vice-president, told the Daily, "You can't reschedule J-Hop, Frosh Week-end, and Michigras." These programs take a great deal of. preparation and rushing would take place at the same time as that preparation, she said. Houck Declines Comment Marilyn Houck, '58Ph, Panhel president, declined to comment at all on the situation, explaining the entire rationale will be presented to SGC tonight. According to Miss Eckhard, the decision to request fall rushing came sometime after April. She said the women had worked hard to develop a spring calendar. Recently, at least one sorority has received a letter from its na-i tional, requesting it to endorse the fall rushing petition. The national1 had learned of the petitionl through letters sent out by theI present Panhel officers. One member of the calendaring, sub-committee of Panhel's re- search committee, who preferred to go unnamed, told The Daily, that although the women did work on a spring rush program, the prevailing tone was "Oh, if we could only return to fall rushing." Loyalty Day Today is Loyalty Day in Ann Arbor. The practice of celebrating May 1 as Loyality TDau +o nn nnr. art +1, Texas River Fills Banks, ruins Crops DALLAS W) -Weary men pa- trolled Texas river levees and stacked sandbags yesterday as swollen streams spread over crop- lands and into towns and cities. The upper Sabine River in east Texas reached heights never be- fore recorded. Upriver levees held damage to minor flooding. Resi- dents of downstream towns re- mained alert, ready to flee the threatening river. The main danger areas appeared to be on the lower reaches of the Sabine, Trinity, Brazos, Colorado, Nueces and Guadalupe, and on four bayous around Houston. Reading from west to east, these were the potential danger spots: Three Rivers on the Colorado, Freeport and the Navasota area on the Brazos, Liberty on the Trin- ity and Deweyville on the Sabine. The floods, which began with heavy downpours April 18, brought strange contrasts after seven sear- ing years of (Vought. In lowland areas, farmer bitter-' ly watched as their crops were ruined for the eighth year-this time by floods. Their cattle drowned and floated downriver. Little children and their parents huddled in flood relief shelters. In upland areas or sections not touched by damaging floods, farm- ers and ranchers rejoiced at greening fields and pastures. Men controlling the gates on Texas lakes had these choices: Keep the lake gates closed and flood upstream areas and possibly damage their dams. Open the lakes and add more misery to the plight of down- stream dwellers. Hatcher Urges Action Against Federal Aid University President H a r 1 a n Hatcher advocated positive and immediate action by business, Congress and education to fore- stall federal financial support for education. Addressing the annual Congres- sional Dinner of Association Exe- cutives of Michigan, he urged the three fields to form a "compact and action-minded group" to study ways to meet the present financial crisis facing higher edu- cation without permitting "the further intrusion of the Federal Government." President Hatcher suggested that the Federal Government surrender to the states some of the sources of taxation to be used directly for the support of education. "This, at least, would keep the schools in their rightful and tradi- tional place in the local commun- ity," he said. He also suggested that state and local authorities should either, abandon the present system of "dedicated taxes for specific pur- poses,' or place higher education in a more assured position alongs with other items on the budget. Unless these reforms are under- taken, the task of outfitting the colleges and universities will in-c evitably shift to "our great white magician father of more and more -the Federal Government," Presi- dent Hatcher asserted.a The situation has now been reached where the Federal Gov- ernment has so heavily pre-empted7 the sources of revenue that the statendoes not know how to meet its needs with what is left.1 "With private and corporate support unavailable, and with the state feeling poor and crowded out of a tax supply, local and state1 responsibility and rights seem now7 to. have been doomed to thei Federal Government," President p Hatcher declared. Jordanian U.S. Blames Reds For Jrdn Crisis WASHINGTON (A) - The United States, striking back at Russia, yesterday blamed the crisis in Jordan on intervention controlled by Soviet "international communism." A spokesman declared that since World War II the Soviet Union "has subjected ten once independent nations to its rule." His applica- tion appeared to be that the Reds have been trying to gain domina- tion of Jordan. State Department press officer Lincoln White made the charge of foreign intervention at a news conference in response to requests for United States government reaction to charges made in Moscow Monday. The Soviet Foreign Ministry had declared that the United States was primarily responsible for any "grave consequences" that might Crisis 'Ended' ; _ . ,.:
