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

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

7 Colleges Elect Council Members

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

led plainly,” Rear Adm. 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.
Today will be mostly cloudy,
breezy and cooler with a slight
chance of a few very light show
ers. A high temperature of 50
degrees is expected.
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.

ISA is being created to pro

A revised TIM constitution is
now before the Senate Subcom

TIM hopes for autonomy from
