If they can be met and the citizens are not de prived of being able to find short time parking space, Lune Hoff man, council member, said the resolution will be made perma nent no later than Jan. 1, 1962.

Haber Doubtful of Revision Deadline The top SGA executive said last night that he doubts SGA’s reorganization committee will meet the March 15 deadline for preparing a skeleton form of their plans. Refusing to comment on the re organization, SGA President Richard Haber added that there are "too many aspects of this thing and too many people to con vince for the committee to meet this deadline.” Duane Alexander, head of the reorganization committee, dis agreed with Haber when contact ed last night and said "there won’t be any problem in meeting this deadline.’’ March 19 it the iargel dale Satlg^Cnlbgtau general has a role even at the risk of displeasing many Asian- African nations. The snub came on the eve of the resumption of the 99-nation General Assembly, where the Congo crisis is the No. 1 issue. Soviet Foreign Minister An drei A. Gromyko was joined in the luncheon boycott by Bul garia and Romania, the only other Communist delegations invited. Ambassador Adlai E. Steven son, chief U.S. delegate, had a 90- minute breakfast session with Nkrumah, who will put his plan for an all-African U.N. Congo command before the opening ses sion this afternoon. Afterward Nkrumah told re porters: "Africans combined supported by the United Nations that’s the only way to save the Congo.” Stevenson then went to the Soviet U.N. Mission for a 70- minute private talk with Gro myko. A U.S. spokesman said their talk dealt with issues before the resumed session, but the spokes man declined to go into any de tails. Events were shaping up for a sharp U.N.-Soviet clash on the Congo before the assembly. The United States has made clear its support for Hammar skjold in his efforts to imple ment last week's Security Coun cil resolution empowering the United Nations to use force if necessary to slop civil war in the Congo. Hammarskjold has the responsibility to carry out the resolution, which had over whelming Asian-African sup port. The same resolution calls for withdrawal of all Belgian military and semimilitary personnel, Bel gian political advisers to Congo lese authorities, and foreign mer cenaries. But Belgium's U.N.

Alexander said last week his student committee and the Sen ate Sub-Committee had been working closely on reorganiza tion. The sub-committee serves mainly in an advisory capacity and is a "partial influence on the student committee, giving us ideas we didn’t think of ourselves or a basic point we overlooked,” he said.

Dennis, vice president for academic affairs, has been named as a member of the 14-man "nucleus staff” of the newly created Peace Corps.

Steinhauer said questions pilot survey made last Friday. The six questions used .on the pilot forms were chosen to de termine the need for a bookstore, what students expect in a book store and what problems they have encountered in purchasing books, Steinhauer said. He would not reveal what the questions are. For the final forms, some of the original pilot questions may be used, Steinhauer said, while others may be combined or re vised. Over 1000 students will be se lected at random to fill out the questionnaires, Steinhauer said. They will receive them in the mail, he said. Steinhauer said the committee decided to use the random sur vey idea because it insures ac curacy in getting a cross-section of student views. The students contacted will be chosen by the most "scientific method," he said. For the pilot survey, during which 70 forms were distribut ed, students were also stopped at random and asked to com plete the forms, Steinhauer said. Seven people distributed ten forms each at locations around campus, Steinhauer said. He stressed that the pilot sur vey was only conducted to test the validity of the proposed ques tions for the final form. No statis tics on student opinion on the need for a bookstore or their prob lems in purchasing books were tabulated from the pilot forms, Steinhauer said. No specific date has been set for distributing the question naires, Steinhauer said, but the committee hopes to complete them in the near future. dent Affairs will review the SGA constitution before Spring elec tions, set for the middle of April.
