Assembl• Membership Julius Backs Seating Council Heads By ELAINE MIELE Including college council presidents as members of SGA Assembly would be "a step in the right direction," Leonard Julius, SGA president, said yesterday. Student government would be strengthened if council presidents sat on SGA, he said, because com munications between students and the Assembly would be im proved. The Intercollege Council Board recommended Monday night that all college council presidents should sit on the Assembly.

The first lessons giv en would presumably relate to dinner and contain French or Spanish words for different kinds of food, he said. James Palmer, president of Center Video, said the cable company would allow the Uni versity to use its facilities and was contributing $5OO to partial ly underwrite the costs of pro duction. Whether French or Spanish will be taught has not been decided, Carpenter said. However, Palmer said he thought whichever lan guage is offered in the grade schools should be taught through the program. Carpenter explained that a sur vey taken last year indicated that half the families polled preferred IFrench instruction and half pre- Iferred Spanish instruction. Palmer said that the State Col liege School Board was consider ingloffering a language as part of the regular elementary curri culum. The board Is considering a course which would begin at the fourth grade level, and if it should decide to offer French, then the television course should offer French, Palmer said. The program will probably reach about 1000 families when it begins next fall, he said. The details of the program have not been worked out and no in- I structor for the program has been found, Carpenter said. WSGA Penalties May Be Postponed Several penalties imposed by the WSGA Judicial Board may be postponed up to three weeks. However, the penalties will in crease with each week of post ponement. A one o'clock removal postponed one week becomes a lenient week end campus. Likewise, a lenient weekend campus becomes a strict weekend campus and a strict weekend campus postponed one week becomes a 5-day strict campus, according to Sandra Slish, judicial chairman. If a woman student wishes to have one of these penalties post poned she should contact the judi cial chairman or any member of the judicial board. formed and qualified student leaders who had been by-passed in the present system. Walter Darren (C.Jr.), minor ity party leader, said yesterday that the new form of student government .should be given a chance to succeed. He opposed including the council presidents as members of SGA. Representation by colleges (ra ther than by classes) would ham per student government, he said. "I am opposed to small interest groups controlling the affairs of students," he said. The system is new but in time As sembly members will become just as informed as council presidents, Darren said.

The ICCB members discussed the possibility of adding council presidents to the present member ship or dropping some of the pres ent members in order to include the council presidents. No decision was reached. Julius said that if no members were dropped the number of peo ple sitting on the Assembly would be too large.

Counseling Program Initiated for Rushees An experimental counseling program for women rushees and sorority chapters is now being used for guidance in rush ing difficulties and problems throughout the two-week Pan hellenic Council rushing period. Mrs. Hugh Davison and Mrs. William Muschlitz have been hired by the University to act as counsellors specifically for sorority rushing. Both women have had extensive experience and training in the field of coun seling and working with people, Dorothy J. Lipp, dean of women, said. According to Dean Lipp, the main objective of the program is to extend guidance to a rushing! system that has been haphazard in the past. By giving such guid ance to sororities and rushees, "we hope to strengthen sorority membership," she said. Dean Lipp said that by coun seling the rushees, the purpose is not to guide them toward any specific sorority, but to,aid them in making wise decisions in ac cepting and declining invita tions to the sororities. She said the counseling program is meant to "prevent heartache" among rushees who may be Step In Which Direction? es expect will turn into a per- Here in Brasilia, where only about 70,000 were available to greet him, crowds cheered and waved U S. and Brazilian flags.

Eisenhower joined Kubitschek in a Declaration of Brasilia pledging their determination to help develop th e Western Hemisphere materially an d morally with the goal of "great er prosperity and harmony for all." Issuance of that declaration helped set the tenor for the 10- day trip that will take Eisen hower across Brazil to Argen tina, Chile and Uruguay on a mis sion that he hopes will strength en hemispheric unity and stiffen defenses against potential ene mies. The two presidents expressed confidence in the success of a hemispheric crusade for economic development. "Economic development can not be disassociated from the preservation of peace and dem ocratic rights," they said. They asserted their support of "the fight against racial discrim ination" and their belief in free dom of thought and religion. Almost all the population of Brasilia mostly construction workers and their families turned out to hail President Ei senhower. Several hundred spilled onto the field when Eisenhower's 'big jet roared in after a 5 1 / 2 -hour, 2700-mile flight from Ramey Air Force Base in Puerto Rico. Eisenhower shook hands with ambassadors of the diplomatic 'corps who had flown here from 'Rio de Janeiro to meet him. Then he and Kubitschek took off in Eisenhower's bubble car, flown here in advance. A throng grouped behind a wire fence on a side road broke into cheers, hoisted a Brazilian and two American flags, then surged through the fence to the side of the car. The President reached to shake outthrust hands.

Dean Lipp stressed that the pro gram is in operation for the "best interests of prospective sorority women and of the sororities themselves. Any sorority who feels that it is having difficulty in their rushing program is also wel come to counseling in fact, urged to take advantage of it, Dean Lipp said. The counseling schedule for the remainder of the week is: One to 5 p.m. Wednesday, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Thursday, 1 to 5 p.m. Friday and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday. See Page 4 FIVE CENTS
