Other members of the Board of rgiatt Nuclear :an Accepted By U.S., Britain GETTYSBURG, Pa. (/P)--The United States and Britain accepted yesterday the idea of a short-term ban on small underground nuclear tests—if the Soviet Union agrees first to a treaty providing cheat-proof inspection of bigger blasts. President Eisenhower and British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan jointly unveiled the new proposal at the climax of a 2-day strategy conference at strategy conference at Camp Da vid in the Maryland mountains. An American spokesman said that if the Soviets are sincere it should be possible to sign such an historic inspection treaty within 90 days. Eisenhower and Macmillan. in a windup statement, said they put forward their offer in a sincere effort to break the 17- month-old deadlock on how to ban nuclear weapons testing above and below ground. Pending an answer from the So viet Union, a spokesman for Ei senhower said he knew of no plans to stage underground nu clear tests in the United States. The Eisenhower-Macmillan of fer came as a reply to a Soviet proposal 11 days ago calling for a a halt to hard-to-detect under ground blasts while East-West experts work out acceptable on 'site inspection. The Soviets pro posed that such a ban last four or ifive years. The two Western leaders said they immediately would in struct their disarmament chiefs, now meeting with Soviet repre sentatives in Geneva, to intro duce their offer formally info the talks. In a move to speed progress, Eisenhower and Macmillan invit ed the Soviet government to join at once with the United States and British governments in a co ordinated research program which they hope eventually will devise methods of detecting even tiny blasts. In briefing newsmen afterward, the American spokesman said Macmillan and Eisenhower be lieve the ban on small under ground tests should last about a year. The Senate would be called' upon to ratify the formal treaty setting up the control system on other weapons tests, But the agreement stopping small blasts would be through an exchange of government declarations. editor are: Carol Blakeslee, city editor; Joel Myers, makeup edi editor; Gloria Wolford, assistantltor, and Frederic Bower, photog- Editors as selected by the new raphy editor. editor; Sandy Padwe, sports edi- The 1960-61 Senior Board of the business staff as appointed by the new business manager is: Bradley Davis, local advertising manager; Harold Deisher, assist ant local advertising manager; Mary Ann Crans, credit manager; Neal Keitz, assistant credit man ager; Richard Kitzinger and Rosa lind co-circulation man agers. e t a lk, • r" ' tft, ' L.

Haines said that comparing the averages of total fraternity to total non-fraternity men was un fortunate since freshman aver lages, which are usually the low est, tend to pull the non-frater nity average down. "There are practically no fresh men to be counted in the total fra ternity average," he said. Haines said figures from the registrar's office listed 2023 fresh men counted in the total non fraternity average, while only 15 second semester freshmen are counted in the total fraternity average. Fraternity and non-fraternity averages compared by classes are: freshman fraternity men, 1.98; freshman non-fraternity men, 2.12; sophomore fraternity men, 2:13; sophomore non-fraternity men, 2.24; junior fraternity men, 2.27; junior non-fraternity men, 2.38; senior fraternity men, 2 53; senior non-fraternity men, 2.66.
