Previously they had been drawn up and reviewed before the candidates were elected. Week Given for Plans Plan Coed 'Meals Greek For Tonight Greek Week exchange dinners will be held beginning at 5:10 p.m. today with 46 fraternities and all 23 sororities paiticipating, accord ing to Bruce Huffman and Phyllis Hodges, exchange dinners chair men. Huffman said that approximate ly 300 men and 300 women will be participating in the exchange dinners, which will be held in the fraternity houses and in the din ing halls of Simmons, McElwain and Atherton. Men Call for Coeds Fraternity men will call for the women at 5 p.m. in the lounges', of Simmons, McElwain or Ather-, ton. There will be about seven men from each of the 48 fraterni ties that are participating in the exchange dinners, eating in the women's dining halls. Huffman said that from six to 22 women from each sorority will be eating at the fraternity houses. No Substitutes Allowed In an effort to relieve some of the confusion which has arisen over the exchange dinners in past hears, the committee chairmen ave asked all sorority women who signed information sheets for the exchange dinners, •to appear In person rather than send a sub stitute. They said that the reason for this is because the fraternities have been sent the names of those who are signed up, for the indi vidual fraternities. Encampment Blanks Due Applications for interviews for students wishing to attend the sixth annual Student Encamp ment Sept. 4 to 7 at Mont Alto Forest School must be returned to the Hetzel Union desk by 5 p.m. tomorrow. Parking, Traffic Survey Aerial Photos Completed Aerial photographs of the ,campus were taken at six different times yesterday as part of the University's com prehensive parking and traffic survey. The weather remained c day but overcast skies during cancellation of photography scheduled for 6 p.m. . The photographs will be en larged and pieced together to form a large map s owing the exact number and 1 ation of cars on campus roads d parking lots at the time eachi photograph was taken. 11 1 The pictures were taken at 8, 9 and 11 a.m. and at 1:15, 2:30 and, 5:15 p.m. Officers Take Photos Sgt. Thomas P. O'Connor, of the Air Force Reserve Officers Train ing Corps detachment, and - Sgt. Claude Horton, of the Army ROTC detachment, took the photographs.

Platforms which are not ap proved at the first meeting may then be reviewed again the fol lowing Sunday. Campaigning would start Monday, giving the candidates one week between the time of their selection and cam paigning. Another major change deals with penalization of votes. The new revision states that a candi date may be docked an unlimited number of votes for violations of I the Elections Code. Previously the code allowed docking of not less than 10 (or more) than 100 votes. Vote Docking Unlimited Johnson said that since the 1 docking of votes is in the power'' of the committee there should be no restrictions on the number. The committee feels that if it knows a candidate received 200 votes illegally it should not be restricted to penalizing a maxi mum of 100 votes. Also, if it is discovered that a candidate only received five votes illegally there is no reason why he should be penalized 10. Third Revision The third revision in the code states that appeals to the elec tions committee must be made at the meeting directly following the closing of the polls. The reason behind this change, Johnson said, was that in last year's spring elec tion an appeal was made after the votes had been counted, bring ing about confusion. A new article was added to the code providing that the All-Uni versity Cabinet shall select by ballot the winning candidate in case of a tie. The last revision, which has al ready been adopted by Cabinet, states that all candidates must have at least a 2.4 All-University average. Previously . it had been a 2.4 for the All-University Presi dential candidate and a 2.0 for all other candidates. ear throughout most of the the late afternoon forced the Brown, Inc., where McNally works as an engineer.

Fraternities Told To Sell Themselves Arthur M. Wellington, professor of counselor education, said last night that fraternities should use figures—such as a four to one graduation percentage over independents—to, sell freshmen on fraternity life. Wellington spoke at the Outstanding Pledge Banquet in the Hetzel Union Building. He said that fraternities and sororities should give more fac tual information about the merits of Greek organizations to rushees. One of the strong points of these organizations lies in the field of scholarship, he said. Sta tistics, he said, reveal that the percentage of graduation among fraternity men is four times high er than among independent men. and that the sorority percentage is three and one half times higher than independents. Wellington said a survey' of freshmen shows that prospec tive rushees consider scholar ship second in importance only to friendship as a consideration in rushing a fraternity or soror ity Wellington criticized some of the rushing policies of Greek or ganizations, and said that a sur vey of this year's freshman class showed many more incoming stu dents expressed interest in join ing a fraternity or sorority than have been pledged so -far. He asked if "Panhel couldn't find a better system than win dow shopping" for their rush ing program. However. he add ed.; sororities should be com plimented on the maximum in formation that they provide rushee: to help them choose a sorority, and fraternities could benefit by their example. rgiatt Iranian Premier May Quit Over Death of Americans TEHRAN, Iran, April 1 VP}—lnformed sources said to day Premier Hussein Ala will resign Wednesday because of the murder of three Americans in a desert bandits' ambush. Troops and police pursued into mountain country close to the Pakistan border a legendary bandit leader and his men, sought as the killers. The exact number of men with bandit leader Dadshah was not known, but they were reported being whittled down in runaway fights with pursuers. A price of $lO,OOO was put on the head of each bandit, dead or alive. Couple Were Victims The American victims of the ambush in the desert of southern Baluchistan province a week ago Sunday were Mr. and Mrs. Kevin Carroll and Brewster Wilson. Car. roll, 37, was a U.S. Point Four program official; and , Mrs. Car roll, 35. worked as his secretary. Wilson, 35, was a development specialist for the Near East Foun dation. Informants said the Cabinet shakeup was intended to give the government a stronger hand in Student Spirit See Page 4 request falls short of the Univer sity's need. University faculty members es pecially will be watching the de liberations of the committee, which has the power to amend a bill to raise the University's ap propriation. The size of faculty wage in crease depends largely on the amount of money the state gives the University for the next bi ennium. The University is believed to have asked Leader for approxi mately $35 million. Leader told students and fac ulty members in his speech at Ca reer Day that he cut the Univer sity's appropriation request be fore submitting it to the General Assembly to enable him to "go in with a tight budget?' Hoped to Avoid Fight Leader said he decided to sub mit a "tight budget" in order to avoid a possible fight with the Assembly and noted that he had carried on a "17-month fight" on the budget two years ago. He said he decided to give a "flat 10 per cent increase" to all state-supported higher education schools. $175 Million Cut Leader said he cut a total of $175 million from requests before submitting his $2 billion-plu3 budget to the Assembly. The process for having the ap propriation request accpeted in cludes initial approval by the Governor to include it in his bud get message, approval by the Gen eral Assembly and final approval by the Governor in signing it into law. Budget Affects Enrollment Dr. Walker said Feb. 27 that "if the money needed to operate the institution under frugal manage ment is not forthcoming it will be necessary to stabilize our enroll ment at or near its present fi gure." The University is also confront ed with the need for adjusting salaries, he said. About one-third of $1 million would be required to raise 'faculty salaries one per cent, Dr. Walker said last semes ter. dealing with banditry and tribal defiance. These sources said Ala, 74-year old veteran politican, would an nounce his resignation after the departure of West German Chan cellor Konrad Adenauer, now vis iting in Tehran. Ala was delaying the announce ment in order not to embarrass Adenauer, the informants added. Physician Called Successor The informants said Dr. Manouchehr Eghbal, 49-year-old energetic politician, physician and educator, would be suggested as Ala's successor. Eghbal is court minister to Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlevi and rector of Tehran Uni versity. FIVE CENTS
