REGULAR SCHEDULE acv THE NATIONAL Inter-Fraternity Confer- ence's recent resolution approving the right of the fraternities to practice membership' se- lection certainly deserves a great deal of' thought and consideration on the part of the local fraternity system. The three-point state- ment resolved that the choosing of one's own friends and associates is "a social right which cannot be confused with civil rights and, there- fore, is not subject or amenable to edicts, regu- lations, laws, and legislative fiats abridging that social right." The Conference reinforced its initial state- ment by saying "each college fraternity is a social organization, voluntary in membership, and is entitled to exercise its fundamental American right to choose members in accord- ance with its own standards." The annual con- ference, attended by alumni officers from each of the member national fraternities, also de- fined the national fraternity's jurisdiction in relation to its constituent:chapters. The fra- ternity's national convention, the statement continued, establishes the standards to which the local chapters must conform though it is true the local chapters send the voting repre- sentatives to these conventions. The NIC's purpose in issuing such a resolu- tion is not readily discernable. It could mean, in the words of Inter-Fraternity Council Pres- ident Rob Trost, just a "clarification of the fra- ternity system's beliefs concerning member- ship." More important and probably closer to the real underlying purpose, it could possibly be the NIC's first step in a mote definite pro- gram to eliminate, curtail or protest many col- lege's efforts to combat fraternity bias. Being the first written statement .of the NIC concern- ing this issue, it is certainly a startling reso- lution to approve at a time of concerted efforts by universities and colleges to eliminate restric- tive clauses. Few but the seven committee mem- bers who drafted the resolution knew that it would be presented before the NIC for a vote. IF THE NIC should decide to conduct such a drive, it would be in direct opposition to the fraternities throughout the country who are presently, under various pressures, elimin- ating their discriminatory clauses. In effect, fraternities have been given written affirma- tion that their national organizations favor membership discrimination or selection, what- ever you wish to call it. No stipulation was made as to the criteria fraternity men should use in their choice of individuals. The NIC was careful not to include the de- ciding words "on the basis of race, creed, or color," in their resolution. Mal Cumming, IFC executive vice-president and observer at the Conference, admitted that the resolution could, be interpreted to mean the exclusion of an in- dividual for these reasons. It is very doubtful the University will express any alarm over the resolution. No mention was made in it that would conflict with the 1949 ruling denying recognition to any group or or- ganization having a restrictive clause. But, the resolution is contrary to the University's de- sire to eliminate discriminatory clauses through "educational means." PERHAPS AN interesting fact to consider would be the delegates who cast the decid- ing ballots. Alumni national officers of each fraternity drafted and passed the resolution. College and university inter-fraternity coun- cils'sent delegates but they did not have the opportunity to vote. Yet it is these individuals and the undergraduate students they repre- sent with which the resolution is concerned. Undergraduate fraternities do have the right to vote for their national representatives but it is usually left up to the delegates as to how they will vote on important NIC matters. But undergraduate fraternities were not in- formed of the NIC proposal. This was evi- denced by the fact that undergraduate frater- nity'members knew nothing about the NIC res- olution until it was officially announced that it -had been passed. Perhaps individual local fraternity houses would show a different view of the NIC's resolution if given an opportunity to cast their votes directly. -BARTON HUTHWAITE Time of Class at' at! at MONDAY at : at at at at 0 * 8 9 10 11 12 1 2 3 8 9 10 11 1 2 3 Time of Examination Monday, January 20 Friday, January 24 Friday, January 17 Wednesday, January 22 Monday, January 27 Monday, January 27 Saturday, January 18 Tuesday, January 21 Tuesday, January 21 Saturday, January 25 Saturday, January 18 Thursday, January 23 Friday, January 24 Saturday, January 25 Thursday, January 23 9-12 9-12 9-12 9-12 9-12 9-12 2-5 2-5 9-12 9-12 9-12 9-12 2-5 2-5 2-5 TUESDAY at at at at at at at, a 1., (Herblock Is on Vacation) Copyright. 1957.

By WALTER LIPPMANN ' I THE BRIEFING of the Congressional leaders at the White House, on Tuesday fore- shadows, indeed it seems to make-certain, a great party struggle on the issues of the coun- try's response to the Soviet challenge. The Democrats, however divided they may _be on the problem of segregation, will be very much united in their criticism of the Eisenhower ad- ministration for falling behind in the race of armaments. They will insist that the Administration was well informed and clearly warned by its own intelligence services that the Russians were forging ahead, that, nevertheless, ihe Adminis- tration suppressed and ignored these warnings, and that even after the Sputniks and all, that they signify, there has been no sense of ur- gency, no bold and resourceful planning to deal with the situation. No -doubt, there will oe substantial majori- ties in Congress for specific requests for more money. But there is no prospect at this time that there will-be the kind of non-partisan unity in the next Congress which there was, let us say, after Pearl Harbor. Why -not? The country finds itself in a very serious situation, one which, if it is not righted, can have fear- ful consequences. Why, then, is there no good prospect that the Congress will close its ranks, and rally to the President's standard? THE ANSWER, I am afraid, is that the Presi- - dent has raised no standard to which the country can rally. After Pearl Harbor, it was clear to everyone that the country must unite in order to win the war which had so nearly been lost, and that this meant raising and equipping great military forces. But as to Sput- nik, there is no such clarity about our objec- tives and our duty. For, as the scientists have been telling us, we have fallen behind in the race of armaments bedause we have fallen behind in our technolo- gical capacity as it relates to the instruments of power.

Moreover, though it cannot be corrected without the expenditure of much more money and much more effort, no one inside or outside the Administration is as yet able to define adequately a concrete program. A concrete program equal to the emergency in which we live can be worked out only after the real situation is known and realized by the -country, and then only after there has been a searching public debate. We shall know what to do only as and when we have explored the causes of our great default and have discussed the many remedies which are proposed. This is a time when our salvation is most likely to lie not in trying to ignore the two party system, but in looking to it - its leaders being respon- sible men -- as the only effective means by which the real situation can be brought home to the people, and the critical issues thorough- ly discussed. This is a time in our history when a loyal opposition is an indispensible organ of good government. Why, one may ask, is it a time when the role of the opposition is so big and so important? The answer is that the Administration cannot be counted upon to furnish the leadership which* our situation demands. There are two reasons for this. The one is that the great de- fault took place because they ignored their own intelligence. Human nature being what it is, it is easier to acknowledge the real situation under the pressure of an opposition than it is to confess it voluntarily. The second reason is that the President is in no condition to exert the enormous energies which the situation calls for, and to endure the fearful strains of carry- ing out great programs. LET US REMEMBER the situation in which we find ourselves. We have lost, or we are almost certain to lose in the near future, that command of the air on which our world posi- tion has rested. For many reasons, which seens to me good reasons, I do not think this means that we shall be attacked and devastated. But I believe it does mean that until and unless we are able to right the balance of power which is now against us, our influence will decline, our alliances will become enfeebled, our positions abroad will tend to disintegrate. The men among us who will know how to deal with this grim probability are those who know, not herely say but know in their bones, that there is no cheap and easy way out. 1957 New York Herald Tribune Inc.

WASHINGTON - As they left the White House, congression- al leaders made no secret of their dissatisfaction 'with Eisenhower Administration complacency to- ward Russia's missile-satellite vic- tories. However, they kept secret the reasons why they felt the President and his Cabinet were not doing enough about the danger. This column is now able to re- port the highlights of the dis- cussion which led to their alarm: Secretary of State Dulles was the first to touch off congression- al concern by giving a complacent, unworried account of Russian progress. Dulles sounded as if he considered the United States ahead of Russia. He completely disregarded Russian Weapons, talked about political systems and religious strengths instead. "Because of our own great spir- itual strength," he told the skepti- cal solons, "we will triumph in the end." * * * "THERE IS no reason to think the Russians are irresistible," said the Secretary of State. "Their great weakness is denial of free- dom to theindividual. This has brought about an unbalanced, warped - society. The struggle for power that we recently witnessed Inside the Kremlin is a sign of this weakness. They have aban- doned their five-year 'plan, a sign of their inability to supply their own people with consumer goods. "All the escapees who come out of Russia," continued Mr. Dulles, "give us proof that the system is not satisfying the people." Dulles went on to emphasize Russian weakness as shown by the ousting of Marshal Zhukov. He also emphasized the strength of the American industrial machine compared to Russia's. "We are turning out six million automobiles a year," Dulles said. "Russia is making only 100,000. This was too much for Arkan- sas' Sen. William Fulbright, potent member of the Foreign Relations Committee. "Mr. Secretary," he said, "unless you come up here with some sense of urgency, you can never get your program through Congress. "You cite the fact that Marshal Zhukov has been fired as a sign of Russian weakness. On the con- trary, that means they are so con- fident of their position they don't hesitate to fire their top military man. "You point out that Russia makes only 100,000 automobiles while we make six million," con- tinued the Senator from Arkansas, who is a Rhodes Scholar and former president of the University of Arkansas. "Maybe they don't need six million automobiles a year in Russia. "Maybe they are better off with only 100,000 automobiles a year. Maybe our children would be bet- ter off with less automobiles, and studying jn school the way the Russian children are studying." * * * The President opened up the briefing with a little speech in which he said he wanted to be present because he considered it important. As he walked into the meeting, he seemed genuinely pleased by a burst of spontaneous applause from his bipartisan guests who had not seen him since his cere- bral attack. "My doctor tells me I'm okay and I feel all right," he remarked. "But I hope you will not mind if I do not do too much talking to- day. I find I still have a little dif- ficulty when I try to talk at any length. After attending , for about an hour and a half, the President got up and excused himself. ,~ * .* * LATER, he did come back as Secretary of Defense Neil McEl- roy took up the defense budget. At this point the missile-satellite lag came in for some of the rough- est cross-examination of all, to be described in an early column. Note 1 - Adlai. Stevenson re- mained silent during the half-day session. At the close, Eisenhower asked whether Stevenson had any comments. He replied with a brief statement, the essence of which was that he had nothing to say. Eisenhower was extremely courte- ous toward him throughout the meeting. Note 2 - Congressional leaders missed their lunch. At one point, they were asked whether they wanted to go down to the White House basement, for a cafeteria lunch, but Speaker Sam Rayburn said he wanted to finish up the, briefing "today" and leave town, so the meeting went through un- til 2 p.m. without a break.

This tendency to merge and mix with the "white man," as he still prefers to call us, is not an entirely new trend. Five years ago the Bu- reau of Indian Affairs initiated its relocation program, which works to resettle the Indian in 12 differ- ent areas throughout the country. Also, in the last decade our govern- ment has begun to grant to the Indian certain rights which he had previously been denied. Today he is able to throw off his status as a ward of the government at any time by merely giving up his tribal membership. Few do, however, for wardship serves the Indian as a protective shield against our white-dominated so- ciety. * * * THERE ARE many Indians who prefer wardship, for with it comes a grant of land exempt from taxa- tion. Though most Indians are satisfied with this arrangement, rime a raocentful nf the restric.- cials. Such feelings of the Indian concerning the Bureau of Indian Affairs are easily understoood, and one can appreciate his complaints of government paternalism. Thus, in many cases he wishes to retain wardship, but cannot understand why such status should also carry with it curtailment of his freedoms. Yet, even overlooking. federal supervision of Indian financial af- fairs, there are other grievances the Indian holds against our gov- ernment. His latest concern isthe actions of the government and some state- sponsored groups in encouraging the sale of Indian land, to non- whites. Also, there are several local and private groups which are try- ing to buy his rich oil finds from him. Land to the Indian has always meant a great deal, and for many it is about the only material bless- ing they possess. * * * OFTEN the group that is apply- ing pressure upon the Indian to sell is one that openly practices discrimination against him. Sev- eral political pressure groups have aligned themselves against the In- dian ond have hn enessful in tainly contrary to the idea of free enterprise. The Indian also sees a, major fault in the relocation program. If for some reason he is unable to make the adjustment in the city, he has not financial guarantee for returning to the reservation, The government gives him a one-way trip. About 25 per cent of those resettled are unable to make the adjustment. _ Then there are feelings of bitter- ness against the government be- cause of discriminatory clauses in various state constitutions. In five an Indian may not marry a white. In several states he is still denied water rights. Not spelled out in so many let- ters, but just as real to the In- dian are the numerous discrimina- tory practices that one finds in some southwestern states. In many places he finds the same problem as does the Mexican - a double standard in the wage scale. The white often uses the cheap Indian labor market to his own advan- tage. * * * AS THE FIRST American citizen looks toward the future, he won- SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS LITERATURE, SCIENCE AND, THE ARTS No date of examination may be changed without the consent of the Committee on Examination Schedules.
