General Assembly
Begins Wrangling
Over Red China
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (in—The - UN General Assembly
plunged last night into a wrangle over the Red China member
ship issue. The United States, aware it had aroused resent
ment in the powerful Asian-African bloc, still was confident
of barring action.
The Soviet bloc opened the debate with a new attack on
the United States keyed to the
theme of discrimination against
Negroes in the United State:, al
ready raised in the Assembly by
Soviet Premier Khrushchev Sat
urday.
The Communist bloc was mak
ing a determined bid to impress
the new African nations whose
votes could mean the difference
on the China issue. Red-bloc dele
gates displayed an' attitude of
triumph over the turn of events
at this session.
Western delegations were wor
ried by bitterness of Africans and
Asians over U.S. maneuvering
which defeated a neutralist * ex
pression of hope for a U.S.-Soviet
summit meeting.
In a new gesture to the Afri
can nations, Soviet White Rus
sia's delegate, K. T. Mazurov,
accused the United States of
"disgraceful" discrimina ti o n
which he said deprives millions
of Negroes of voting rights. This
was in reply fo the U.S. con
tention that Red China's sup
pression of human rights makes
the Peiping regime unfit for
membership.
The members of the Soviet bloc
walked out of the assembly when
T. F. Tsiang, the Nationalist Chi
nese delegate, took the rostrum.
This is the usual Communist be
havior toward the Nationalists.
Tsiang assailed Prime Minister
Nehru for urging admission of
Communist China in view of Red
repression in Tibet.
"India's policy is not really neu
tralism, it is a policy of appease
ment"- he declared.
He asserted that Poland is
"fighting against the new im
perialism of Moscow" but its
representatives in the United
Nations are not free to speak
about it.
But a showdown was postponed
when the Assembly adjourned un
til this morning, with a continu
ation of the Red China debate
slated for this afternoon.
Nixon—Kennedy Debates
The Nixon-Kennedy debate will
be shown at '7:30 tonight on the
Eidophor system in Schwab audi
torium.
Doors willopen at 7 p.m. to all
students and faculty members.
Trustees Authorize Honors Program
The University Board of
Trustees has authorized the
establishment of an Honors
Program that will enable su
perior students in various de
partments to secure an Honors
Diploma for specialized study
in their major fields.
The plan, originally proposed
by the Senate Committee on Edu
cational Policy, empowers the
separate colleges to set up their
own honors programs to fit dif
ferent needs, subject to the ap
proval of the Senate Committee
on Academic Standards, accord
ing to John J. Schanz, Jr,, chair
man of the committee.
The Honors Diploma will be
awarded to a student in addition
to the regular bachelor's degree

Traffic Regulations
Will Be Reviewed
The current campus parking regulations will be reviewed and re-evaluated Nov. 15,
Albert E. Diem, vice president for business administration said yesterday. .
The present regulations, including the new ban of student parking in the Hetzel Union
parking lot, will operate on a trial basis until then. Any changes deemed necessary will be
considered for enactment at that time.
Diem requested the full cooperation of the students in this trial period. At the Student
500 Students
Cheer at Rally
"Where there's smoke,- there's
fire . . . " And if the students
who attended the bonfire pep
rally last night cheer at the "Lick
'urn, Lions" , send-off this morning,
the Lions will carry a blazing
spirit into Saturday's football
game with Army. _
The Blueband and ch2erleaders
will be on hand at 8:45 a.m. to
day in front of Recreation Hall
to lead the send-off cheers.
About 50 cars were in the mo
torcade that led 500 students to
the rally last night.
Despite the fact that last min
ute difficulties caused the ab
sence of a public address system
and prevented the presentation of
skits and speakers, the cheerlead
ers and students tried their best
to evoke school spirit.
