May Compromise
' eds on Accesses

With

d permit East Germans to man the check
d routes between West Germany and isolated
BONN, Ger
terday the West
Union that wou
points on overla
West Berlin.
But the We
terners are ready to push their way into
Berlin either on the ground or in
the air if the Soviets reject the
deal, these informants said.
The question of access routes
to Berlin is at the heart of the
Soviet challenge which motivated
!the East-West foreign minister 3
conference opening in Geneva
!Monday.
The Western package plan to
be presented at Gerfeva, deals
with Berlin, German reunifica
tion, and a military security
zone in Europe. The Soviets
have implied they will not act
alone to revise the status of
Berlin unless the Geneva talks
fail.
Last fall, the Soviet Union
theatened to give up its occupa
tion controls in Communist East
Germany and turn over to that
satellite control of the routes used
by the United States, Britain and
France to supply their 12,000
troops in West Berlin.
The Western powers have said
they will not accept the substitu
tion of the East Germans for the
Soviet Union.
This looks like an impasse,
but qualified diplomatic sources
explained the West will accept
East Germany border inspec
tors, not in their own right but,
as agents of the Soviet Union
provided either the Soviets des
ignate the East German person
nel as their agents, or the So
viets do not qtlit the wartime
occupation agreements.
The Bonn sources expreSsed
hope the Soviets might be willing
to compromise by hanging on to
token occupation rights in East
Berlin.
Under such a compromise, the
!sourcess said, the Brtish, French
and Americans would accept East
Germans at the checkpoints but
with the understanding that dis
putes would be carried to the!
Soviet ,Union.

Approval
On Party
The University Senate Thursday sent back to committee
a proposal that would make political party chairmen per
sonally responsible for their party's debts.
If approved, the addition to the Regulations for Under
graduate Students could result in the . party -chairman's
diploma being withheld if the
debts were not made good by the
time he was to be graduated.
Proposed by the Senate Com
mittee on Student Affairs, the ad
dition to the regulations grew out
of what the committee called "the
unhappy aftermath of the demise
of Lion party in 1958."
R. Wallace Brewster, profes
sor of political science objected
to the proposal on the grounds
that it made the University a
"collection agency."
Other senators objected because
it might put the blame on the
wrong person and the fact that
there were no records available
showing exactly which students
were in each Party.

rule Y-8 to read:
, "The direct supervision of the

student and faculty members.
The method of selection of this
board shall be specified in the

The committee also said in its
report that it will propose at the
