Weather Forecast: ! Partly Cloudy, Mild E - VOL. 61, No. 30 Groups May Petition For Lot Parking Special tempomy parking spaces may be given to stu dent organizations in the fu ture, Dr. Munroe Newman, chairman of the Senate Com mittee on Student Affairs, said last night. Newman said that the commit tee has discussed the possibility of giving the SGA permission to form "clearing house" commit tee to hear the petitions of those organizations wishing special parking places For a particular event. "The committee would then either approve or disapprove the petition. If the committee felt that the reason for want ing the place was valid and ne cessary, it would recommend to • the Campus Patrol that the per mission be granted," he said. Newman said that although the Senate committee has dis cussed the plan and is in favor of it, the Campus Patrol has not yet been contacted. The patrol would have to agree to the plan before it could take effect, he said. When asked if the HUB park ing lot would be included in the plan, Newman said that this would depend on the decision of Campus Patrol. Currently, the HUB parking lot is closed to all students at all times. The proposed plan would oper ate as follows in this example if it were carried out: A club spon soring a dance would talk to the SGA committee. It would ask for a parking lot place so that on the night of the dance orchestral equipment could he unloaded more easily. If the SGA commit tee approved the petition, Cam pus Patrol would be contacted and asked to supply the space for the particular night in que.:ition. If SGA committee did not ap prove the petition the group could go to the Campus Patrol it self but would be doing so with out SGA backing. Commenting on the proposed plan, Richard Haber, SGA presi dent, said that he feels it would be good to give the student gov ernment this responsibility. The committee involved would prob-1 ably be the Traffic Court, he said.

Dean Lipp Suggests Yeady Formal Rush The four term plan will call for year-round operation of sororities and sorority suites, Dorothy J. Lipp, dean of women, told the Panhellenic Council last night in an in; meeting. Dean Lipp suggested having one formal rush early in the term with informal rush dur ing the remainder of the year. "We simply don't have time to go !through rushing more than one ( time a year," Dean Lipp said. The system of deferred sorority rushing was started long ago ,when it was necessary for the sorority to see the prospective rushee's academic capacities. Now the University does this for the sorority by its highly selective admissions require ments, she said. The first term average is no more of an indi cation of a girl's abilities than a second or third term average, she added. The argument that a woman must adjust to college life her first term before she seeks soror ity life, no longer applies, Dean Lipp said. The sorority is in a ,position to help girls adjust more quickly to college life, she• said. In answer to a question con cerning the possibility of hold ing the rush program in one week between terms, Dean Lipp answered that this would be the perfect solution and something to work for in the future. In addition to changing our way of thinking on the rush .program, we must take a look at our quota system, she said. Warmer Weather Due Somewhat milder weather is expected to return to this area today as the center of the arctic air mass passes off the Middle Atlantic-Coast and into the At lantic Ocean. Partly cloudy skies and abun dant sunshine will allow this af ternoon's .temperatures to rise about 10 degrees higher than those of yesterday. A maximum of 54 degrees is expected.

The growing need in the United States for educational Ifacilities and qualified teach ers has been considered as a presidential campaign issue by both Vice President Richard M.

Firms Seized by Castro HAVANA (W) Prime Minister Fidel Castro took another quarter-million dollar bite from the remaining American properties in Cuba yesterday. He said he was retaliating against the U.S. embargo on most exports to this island nation. A decree issued at dawn after a meeting of Castro's Cabinet announced the seizure of i ---------- 167 ' American firms. With this; • seizure, Castro as almost down S the "nails in their shoes," he ousmg Bill w had promised to take from Amer ican investors here on the ground the United States was committing Approved • aggression against Cuba. The preamble spelled out the decree's retaliatory nature, as serting that Washington's ban y Cabinet on shipping everything but food and medical supplies to Cuba is designed to "strangle our econ omy." The Cabinet challenged the U.S. government itself by seizing the Nicaro nickel plant, owned by the U.S. General Services Ad ministration. Washington had de cided to shut the plant, located in eastern Cuba, after the Cuban government refused to make what U.S. officials considered a realistic offer to buy it. Its listed value is $llO million. In Washington, a State Depart ment spokesman denounced 'the seizures as a move "in full ac cord with international CoMmu nist dogma." He said it repre sents another step by Castro's government to exploit the Cuban people for foreign political pur poses. The spokesman did not mention the Nicaro nickel plant. The seizures ranged from 30 American insurance companies —some of them with assets up to $2O million—to the Capri Hotel's gambling .casino and the Havana racetrack. Havana's only armored car company was confiscated. American economists here esti mated the total value of the new ly seized properties at about $250 million. They said that proper ties worth more than %100 mil lion are still left in U.S. hands, although the bulk of them are already being run by Cuban offi cials under the government's in tervention procedure. With the seizures, Castro now has taken over lands and proper ties estimated by the U.S. Em bassy at a value of about $1.5 billion. This is about $5OO million more than the original rough estimate of all U.S. property in Cuba be fore Castro gained power almost two years ago.

Grads --See Page 4 • • ~, ( , A bill concerning the off campus housing list and rac- ial discrimination was unani. monsly approved last night by the SGA Cabinet. The bill proposes that SGA assume the responsibility for the list and that Ithe list exclude landlords who re- Ifuse to give rooms to foreign or Negro students. The bill he brought before the Assembly by Cynthia Xantho poulos (C.-Jr.) and Jacqueline Leavitt (U.-Sr.). It is a product of the SGA Committees on Inter- Racial Relations of which Miss Xanthopoulos is chairman, Miss Leavitt told Cabinet that the bill is meant to help siu dents obtain rooms and is not necessarily meant to harm downtown landlords. At present the housing lists are kept by the dean of men's office. . In other business, Cabinet voted to recommend that members of committees approved by SGA not be required to attend the SGA meeting at which the appoint- ments are made. At present, the members must attend the meeting in order to be officially approved. Cabinet members agreed that it is generally necessary for only the committee chairman to he present. The members also renewed their approval of a bill by Walter Dar ran (U.-Sr.) which would limit the money to be used for pub licity in campus campaigns. Dar ran's bill will be read for the second time at tomorrow's SGA meeting.
