Tribunal tonight will hear the cases of four students 'who were apprehended by the
dean of men's office and charged with leading an ill-fated raid on Women's Building Sun
day night.
A spokesman for the dean

He said the quartet was •
who said the men were "attempt
ing to lead others into untoward
acts of one kind or another, cer
tainly not in the best interest of
the University."
The spokesman defined his
use of the word "lead" as "overt
acts which tended to excite or
lead the crowd further."
The raid was the first such
wholesale demonstration sine e
the spring semester, 1955, when
four students were • suspended
from the University for their part
in a panty raid.
Starting at approximately 9:15,
the mob marched past McAllister
Hall where coeds hastened to pull
the shades and lock their win
dows. The men descended on
Women's Building, yelling "we
want pants." Coeds said one stu
dent broke through the front
door, while others filed into the
first floor of the building.
Several men started up the
fire escape as coeds came out on
the third floor landing to watch.
Mrs. Virginia Hathaway, resi
dence housemother, who was at
the Artists' Series Concert during
the raid, said she left a reliable
girl in charge who locked the
door when the raid started.
Dean of Men Frank J. Simes
and his staff broke up the major
portion of the raid, at the same
time catching the four students.
After Simes and his staff left,
a handful of the men came back
and attempted to climb up a tree
on the front porch while coeds
hung out of the second floor win
dows yelling "Want a pair of
pants?' "Here's my phone exten

The University announced
yesterday that any students par
ticipating in "mass demonstra

or expelled immediately.
Citing the violations of, Uni

nouncement asked students to
"use good judgement in refrain

end that the University . . . will
not be the object of ridicule."

Managers of a number of borough taverns have asked
the cooperation of - the dean of men's office in preventing

been to take the matriculation
card of the minor and turn it over
to the dean of men's office for dis
ciplinary ajtion.
Perkins cited the state law pre

SAC Flight
Accusations
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. RI
The Soviet Union yesterday with
drew its demand that the United
States be asked to end arctic
flights of the U.S. Strategic Air
Command on the grounds they
could trigger an atomic war.
Soviet Delegate Arkady A. So
bolev look the action in the UN
Security Council, where a Soviet
resolution condemning the United
States for such flights faced cer
tain defeat.
Sobolev said he was with
drawing his resolution because
U.S• Ambassador Henry Cabot
Lodge, the Council president,
had steamrollered the Council
toward a vote.
Lodge replied that, "The sim
ple fact was that the Soviet Union
did not have enough votes to push
its proposal through."
The surprise Soviet move came
after six hours of debate.
Eight of the Council's 11 mem
bers had lined up in support of
the United States.
During the debate Lodge vig
orously rejected Soviet charges
that the flights by U.S. planes
carrying hydrogen bombs could
accidentally set off atomic war.
He declared they will be con
tinued to enable the free world
to meet the threat of Soviet
aggression.
Sobolev souglit unsuccessfully
to delay the vote until Tuesday.
Only Sweden remained silent
in the Council. Canada, National
ist China, France, Britain, Japan,
Colombia, Iraq, and Panama all
supported the United States.
