Syria
Army
BEIRUT, Lebanon (/P) —Syr-
ia’s high command claimed a
peaceful victory last night
over Aleppo-based army units
that rebelled in an effort to
swing Syria back into ‘the
United Arab Republic. But it
had paid a price in concessions.
Radio Damascus proclaimed
what it called “the important and
joyous news”—an army statement
that the troops and officers in
Aleppo, metropolis of the north,
announced their loyalty to the
high command and returned to
their barracks.
'’THINGS REVERTED fo prop
er order in Aleppo, were -calm
and order prevail,” the statement
said.
It added that persons who at
tempted to*subvert and influence
the army units had fled. -They
were not identified by either
name or nationality.'

army and tried to fish in trouble*!
waters and cause shedding of in
nocent blood."
The high command assured, the
Aleppo troops that resolution! of
the Homs conference will be re
alized. '
THE CONFERENCE was'a
meeting of Syrian military lead
ers Sunday at Homs, roughly mid
way between Damascus and Alep
po, at which pro-U.A.R. officers
made their demands for restore-’
tion of ties with President Carnal
Abdel Nasser’s government which
were broken by an army revolt'
last Sept. 2«.
One result was the exile of sev
en junta officers influential in
both the Sept. 28 revolt and ire

which unseated President Nazem

The exiled group arrived in
Switzerland yesterday in a Syrian

schools would not be adequate in
an emergency but families qould
better care for th&r children In
such cases.
The school evacuation proce
dure includes bus transportation
for students who live too far to
walk home. For the students who
could walk to their home, group
leaders would be appointed to
accompany the students, to tficlr

cussed yesterday because they
must go to the Senate Rules Com
mittee for consideration according

will be presented at next month's
meeting when they will be open
for discussion and adoption.
In order “to alleviate the in
tolerable work load of the chair
man of the Senate Committee oi%
Student Affairs and to makis it
more truly representative of thn
faculty” the committee recom--
mended the following changes:
• Selection of the discipline sub
committee chairman would -be
made from among the voting
membership of the student; af
fairs committee.
• The faculty membership of
the committee would be increased
by three, making a total of seven.' 1
• The dean of women, dean of
men and the vice president of ■
the Undergraduate Student Gov
ernment would no longer serve
on this committee.
• The ex-offico member* of the
group would be made non-voting
members.
Appropriate changes would.be
made in the Senate Rules - and
By-Laws to expedite these rec
ommendations.
IN OTHER . BUSINESS, the
Senate passed a resolution making
it possible for student* to . re
ceive grade points as well as
credit* for course* taken by ex
amination. An amendment to tha
resolution was added before pass
age providing that a designation
be placed on fne student'*: tran
script, to indicate that the court*
