According to the Dean of Women these living areas
will have councils. What spheres of student life and prob
lems these councils will deal with is yet to be decided.
They may just plan social events for the area. They
may handle their area’s discipline and rules violations
thus eliminating the need for women’s judicial and on
campus tubunal which now exist.
They may handle all the cultural, recreational and
counseling problems and eliminate the need for WSGA,
AIM, WRA and Leonides. They may change the basis for
representation on SGA.
Unlimited possibilities exist here in a system that
could mushroom into a complete reorganization of all
student government on campus,
Make haste, 0 students and leaders, for the extent to
which this system will go into effect next fall must be
determined before summer breezes herald the mass
exodus next month.
Memo to Poll Takers
As a reminder to those taking surveys and votes about
the status of Thanksgiving vacation, we would like to
point out that it is just not enough to say Thanksgiving

Letters
Hildreth Draws
Criticism For
Racial Stand
TO THE EDITOR: Re- William
Hildieth’s letter in the April 26th
issue
Before you vsnte a letter to a
newspaper, Mr Hildieth, why not
do research on your subject? This
would save you fiom hee-hawing
and preset ve at least your dignity
Fust, you might have checked
the ongin and history of racial
discrimination in our country
You would not have arrived at
your inane conclusion—namely,
that originally the diffeienecs
between groups caused disci imm
ation
Thera were, and are, other fac
tors present. For instance, why
don't you consider the economic
factors operating in 18th century
America. Do you remember your
history? It was for economic rea
sons that the differences (between
the white and colored races) were
allowed to make a difference.
You accuse the anti-segrega
tionist, and DARE in particular,
of “wanting to give eveiyone the
same name." etc We want just
the opposite 1 We want to main
tain the religious, racial, and na
tionality differences which have
made our country great. But, we
want each group to have equal
access to the advantages of our
country.
When vou draw' an analogy be
tween discrimination against
lower-income brackets and racial
discrimination, you show your
complete misunderstanding. Have
not lower-class immigrants been
able to move up the social scale
to become members of country
clubs?
They have been able lo acquire
the money and sfaus which make
them eligible for these clubs. This
has not been so with the Negro
race for the opportunity has not
been offered.
Since you have taken the time
to write a letter, you must have
a slight intei est in this issue. If
you do want to understand the
pt-obiem rationally, and not just
emotionally, peihaps you will
want to read, “The Nature of
Preiudice," by Gordon Allport
and “Bicker at Princeton,” which
appeared in the May ’5B issue of
“Commentary.” The book and
article refer specifically to the
issues you have raised. With a
little enlightenment, you may not
remain a dolt all your life 1

Coleman Defends
Weekly Column
TO THE EDITOR: Alas, our inno
cent letter from Addie Storm in
Puerto Rico as published yester
day in our weekly column has
aroused mass indignation. Dean
Lipp informs us that she had calls
fiom eight persons protesting said
ad on the basis of its potential
towards being misconstrued.
Well, there is hope for the new
generation when only eight out
of 15,000 accepted the letter ver
batim. Now, of course Addie didn’t
compose that missive.
But with the world on the
brink of oblivion, it is indeed
unfortunate that such trivia as
our ads should be interpreted so
literally.
Thus the moralist syndrome.

In a related development. Am
bassador You Chan Yang an
nounced he is submitting his res
ignation after nearly nine yeais
as Seoul envoy to Washington
“because I have made mistakes ”
Yang said that under instruc
tions from his government, he had
wrongly declared in public that
the Communists fomented the
demonstrations seething in his
homeland.
U S concern that Koiean Piesi
dent Syngman Rhee has not
moved adequately to meet popu
lar discontent was shown in a
State Department statement.
“President Rhee seems to rec
ognize that the cm lent unrest in
Korea stems from various abuses,
particulaily the election irregular
ities of March 15 and that this un
rest is a genuine expression of
popular discontent,” the statement
said.
De Gaulle Visits
New York City
NEW YORK CP) French
President Charles de Gaulle made
another of his great triumphal
leturns yesterday, this time to
New York City. At one point he
strode away from his security
guard to embrace well wishers in
Times Square.
Police estimated a million per
sons lined lower Broadway to roar
a greeting to the austere old war
rior. De Gaulle is one of the few
men ever to receive a second tick
er tape parade tip the historic
Manhattan canyon of heroes.
“Vive de Gaulle!” rose from
tens of thousands of throats as the
towering figure of the French
leader was borne along the route
in President Eisenhower’s bubble
topped limousine, brought from
Washington for the occasion.
After the parade, he bolted his
police escort, and shook hands
with some of the 2000 spectators.
Two Americans Held
In Cuba for Murder
HAVANA CP) Two Ameri
can desperadoes were held incom
municado by Cuban officials yes
terday while the legal wheels
ground out orders for their return
to Nassau to face British charges
of murder and piracy.
The charges against them are
killing a charter yacht captain
who offered to rescue them from
an isolated island in the Bahamas
and then fleeing in his boat.
Letters
Pro-Segregation Stand Hit
TO THE EDITOR: Senior Hil
dreth has ably demonstrated the
rationale of the proponents of
segregation—the big lie, subtly
concealed in bits of truth, His
approach to continued bigotry is
cloaked in plausibility but, un
fortunately, lacks the strength of
any supporting evidence from
psychology, philosophy, and the
broad base of Jeffersonian democ
raev.
Hildreth confuses the spirit of
individualism with conformity.
To imply that greater human
rights will increase the danger
of having 180 million people lined
up for a foot race on the same
blue and while team is sheer non
sense.
The author’s facetious reference
to non-promotion of a slow learn
er in the elementary school as
grounds for picketing displays
his lack of acquaintance with the
role of that institution in a de
mocracy. Any school that uses
non-promotion as a panacea for
the slow learner ought to be
criticized.
I would suggest that writer
Hildreth evaluate the merits of

Japanese
Protest New
U.S. Treaty
TOKYO (,-P) Six thousand
radical left-wing university stu
dents tried to batter their way
ihiough massed police lines into
the Pailiament building yesterday
in protest against Japan’s new
security pact with the United
States.
Members of the Zengakuren
National Students Association
were cheered on by black-uni
foimed leaders The leaders ex
horted the youths to emulate
South Korean students who
forced President Syngman Rhee
to bow to their demands for re
forms.
But the anti-American Japan
ese students tacked both the in
spiration and mettle of the pro-
American Koreans.
Baton-wielding policemen threw
back the massed assaults of the
chanting, shouting young men and
women in a four-hour series of
shoving contests punctuated by
free-for-alls which left many faces
bloodied.
At least 30 policemen and more
than 100 demonstrators were in
jured.
Eighteen students, including
one of the leaders, were arrested.
The riot may be regarded as a
trial test for demonstrations the
students plan when President Ei
senhower visits Japan in June
The youths are members of the
radical wing of Zengakuren,
which was thrown out of the
Communist party for its extreme
policies.
The group has staged repeated
protests against the military trea

Labor, Business
To Meet for Ike
WASHINGTON (?P) Presi
dent Eisenhower asked American
business and organized labor yes
terday to arrange a series of
summit peace conferences to as
sure better relations and the na
tion’s economic growth.
After conferring at the White
House with AFL-CIO President
George Meany, Eisenhower said
tlie government will help get the
conference going but then will let
the participants negotiate on their
own.
Eisenhower said he asked
Meanv—and will soon ask Presi
dent Rudolph Bannow of the Na
tional Association of Manufac
turers—each to designate three
representatives to a conference
planning group.
This committee would decide
the agenda for the conferences,
participants to be invited, and
other matters.
a democracy with the following
yardstick: the extent to which
every member of a society is able
to enjoy n units of basic rights
which that society can offer. For
example, more and more people
throughout the world are attain
ing increased agreement upon
what they want and do not want.
Values are defined. As an illus
tration, most people of the world
do not want to be hungry: they
cherish the value of sufficient
nourishment. Every society, de
pending upon its growth, is cap
able of offering n number of
these value units. We can meas
ure the strength of our society
on the basis of how close to 100
per cent alf our citizens are able
to realize these value units.
I further suggest to a student
of physics that he develop an
acquaintance with the writings of
people like Horace Kallen and
Theodore Brameld before he com
pletes his schooling lest he de
velop into the lopsided man, who
is a real danger to our present
day society.
