Sigma Phi Epsi on fraternity, which lost its social privi
leges last week, haS succeeded in obtaining a rehearing_ of
the case by the IntErfraternity Board of Control.
The fraternity yesterday submitted a petition for a re
hearing to Robert Parsky, chairman of the Board. The
petition had been signed by 51
per cent of the fraternities and
was approved by Parsky.
Last week, the board recom
mended that the fraternity lose
its social privileges for five weeks
beginning March 22, and be placed
on social probation for the rest
of the semester.

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.

Indies Have
High Fall
Averages
A comparison of indepen
dent men's averages and fra
ternity men's averages for fall
1959 by class instead of total
groups would show the inde
pendent men's averages are
higher, Philip Haines, president of
Town Independent Men's Coun
cil, said yesterday.
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.
