Wanner to Ask
Panhel Action
Janice Wanner, president of the local Panhellenic council,
said last night that she will suggest to the local Panhel dele
gates that action be taken to incorporate the judicial recom
mendations of the 1957 National Panhellenic Conference
agreement into the local judicial structure.
The NPC agreement outlines a specific judicial procedure
to be followed in dealing with
rush violations. The present Pan
hellenic judicial procedures as out
lined in the 1961-62 rush code are
not in accord with the NPC agree
ment.
Miss Wanner said she plans to
inform the council at the Tues
day Panhel meeting that the
local Panhellenic has unknow
ingly not been operating under
these NPC agreements.
The judicial- procedures of the
local panhellenic council have
been in operation previous to the
NPC agreement which was rati
fied in 1959, she said.
“I understand that according to
Mrs. Joseph Grigsby, outgoing
NPC chairman, NPC cannot force
a collegiate Panhellenic to com
ply to their agreements,” Miss
Wanner said.
“However, 25 of our local 28
sororities are obligated to follow

A survey of sorority rush chairmen conducted yesterday

Mrs. Grisby said that any NPC
agreement ratified by all national
delegates and presidents is bind

"If the local chapters are aware

the national sororities are able
to bring the locals in line with
the NPC agreements," Miss
Wanner said. She said that Mrs.
Grigsby had clarified this point.
The discrepency between na
tional and local judicial proce
dures was pointed out by Mrs.
Arthur K. Anderson, advisor for
Alpha Omicron Pi sorority, which
was recently penalized along with
Kappa Delta sorority by the local
panhellenic judicial board for
rush infractions.

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (/P) —The U.N. commander in the Congo asked * for more

FOR A BETTER PENN STATE
General Requests
More U.N. Troops

. . . gets starting nod
tary-General U Thant. Krishna Menon first took issue with Mc-
Keown in the private meeting. Later he told the Security Council:
“If 15,000 troops arc not enough to police the Congo, then there is
something wrong with the troops.”
The remarks of the Indian leader were given considerable
attention because India's 5.700 troops there make up more than
one-third of the entire U.N. force in the Congo.
Krishna Menon told the council "India might or might not be
able to supply more troops.”
The advisory committee meeting was called to hear the views of
McKeown and Conor Cruise O’Brien, chief U.N. representative in
Katanga Province, who were called to New York for urgent consulta
tions after the massacre of 13 Italian airmen in Kivu Province.
The Security Council listened to a plea from Belgian Foreign
Minister Paul-Henri Spaak that his country be accepted as a colla
borator in the task of ending the Congo crisis. Spaak said Belgium
opposed the secession of Katanga, and that lie personally had urged
President Moise Tshombe to return to the fold of the central govern
ment.
It was the first lime the acting secretary-general had met with
his advisory committee, made up of nations which have troops in
the U.N. Congo force, or have contributed to it.
The meeting was behind closed doors, but reliable sources gavo
this account:
McKeown said he needed more troops in the Congo. He stressed
that he should be able to dispatch a battalion, or approximately 1,000
troops, instead of 250 when trouble flares in a Congo spot.
Krishna Menon disputed the need for more troops. He said that
soldiers in large numbers were apt to stumble over one another, and
that the emphasis now is on smaller contingents.
