No. 36 U.S. Plants Mines Around Guantanamo As Cuba Threatens HAVANA (/P) —The U.S. Navy’s chief in the Caribbean disclosed yesterday that American mine fields were planted a few weeks ago along the fence enclosing the 45-square-mile Guantanamo Naval Base—jusi “The mine fields are labe Pan he I OK's Increase In Rush Dates Changes in the number of invi tations a rushee may accept on each round and changes in the set-up for coffee hours created dissension within Panhellenic Council when it adopted a new rushing code Tuesday night. The new code provides that rushees may accept 12 invitations for the first round of chatter dates, eight for the second round of chatter dates, four for bermu da junctions and three for cof fee hours. Formerly the rushee could accept ten, six, three, snd two invitations for the different rounds. This change would tend to pre vent rushees from cutting too heavily which is the main reason that many rushees do not receive bids, Marcia Hamm, Panhel Rush chairman, said. This plan would also enable the Panhellenic system to handle more rushees expected from an increasing enrollment, Mrs. Nancy Vanderpool, assistant to the dean of women, said. Objections to the change cen tered around the problems it would create for sororities. If a rushee is still rushing three sor orities at the end, a particular sor ority increases its chances of los ing more of its rushees when pre ferentials are signed, one mem ber pointed out. If a sorority holds three coffee hours, it would probably be rush ing about 70 girls. If the group got a bad split and the majority of these rushees came at one time, this could easily put over 80 peo ple, counting sisters in the suite at one time, another member added. A motion to change this provi sion was defeated, as were ail but one of the motions to make other changes. However, it was the concensus that these changes would be discussed at the Panhel Workshop. The new code also provides that coffee hours will be held in the sorority suites this year. This was designed to facilitate the three (Continued on page three) 7 Colleges Elect Council Members Seven colleges completed their council elections today. The elections were primarily to elect freshman representa tives; however, some colleges also , took advantage of this election to fill upperclass va cancies. The following people were elected to council positions: Business Administration: Ron ald Butler, Ralph Friedman, Joan Greenbaum, Mark Schwarz and Jeffrey Rosenblum. Chemistry and Physics: Fresh men, Harvey Gordon, John Ku par and Beverly Shapiro. Sopho mores, Edward Goldstein and Francis Utsch.

Allen Smith, commander of the 10th Naval District, told reporters at that base. “Dr. Castro has stepped up his tempo and we have taken steps accordingly. We have made our defense a little bit tighter." He said his forces at the base are strong enough to repel any attack until reinforcements can be sent —perhaps for 72 hours. The defenders are a few hun dred U.S. Marines, squadrons of Marine and Navy aircraft that come for training, destroyers usu ally anchored in the bay or close by, and almost every one of the few thousand military men staff ing the base. “We are hoping they will not bother us,” said Smith. “But we are ready if they do.” The Guantanamo base, rath er than Central America and Florida, now commands the at tention of Cuban leaders in what seems to be a desperate search for an invasion that doesn't come. President' Osvaldo Dorticos spelled this out here Tuesday night before a gathering of presi dential palace employes. He said (President Eisenhower’s announced firm stand on Guantanamo was intended only to justify “an armed aggression against our country." Dorticos implied that the Unit ed States’ lease on the big naval base can be abrogated without any need for U.S. consent, which is counter to the American stand.? ‘Have these gentlemen in Washington forgotten that all that is needed is the agreement of the Cuban people?” he asked. Showers, Cool Weather Expected Here Today Somewhat cooler air, which in vaded this area from the west late yesterday, will be the dom inant weather feature for the next two or three days. A few sprinkles of rain may oc cur today, but no apprecable pre cipitation is likely before Sunday night or Monday.

Partly cloudy and cold weather is predicted for tonight and a minimum of 33 degrees is likely. Tomorrow should be partly ! cloudy and continued cool. A high of 49 is forecast.
