In a report to, the 'Undergrad uate Student • Government, Con gress last night, Gary Koerner, WDFM Transmitter Committee chairman, said that a piototype transmitter has been • laboratory.- tested- and shown to be reliable and effective. When tested in a normal broad cast situation the transmitter was found to ' need a few minor modi fications, which• are now being made, he said. When complete, a large scale test will be run in area and a survey taken of stu dent reaction, Koerner said. At ifs brief meeting, Congress was also told -.that a • survey of 540 colleges throughout' the coun try revealed that .the 4.0 grading system •in use at the Uriiversity was also' used by 330 other in stitutions. SANDRA KATINSKY, chair man of the Grade Systems In- Vestigation Committee, said the 'survey also showed that a 3.0 system was in use at 125 colleges, while the balance of 85 colleges use other systems. In trying to ascertain whether the present grading system satis fies the needs of the University, the committee has corresponded with 30 selected colleges about the detailed operation of - their systems and opinions concerning a direct equivalent system based on 5 ,points. In addition to these steps, the committee has interviewed. Rob ert G. Bernreuter, registrar, John R. Rackley, vice-president for resident education, and John R. Hayes, - chairman of the Senate Committee on Academic Stand ards.

Gyorgy Sebok, pianist, and Janos Starker, cellist; will present a combined pro ram at 8:30 p.m. tomorrow in Schwab as the first Artists Series program of the term. All tickets have been distributed for the performance. NINA BROWN, administrator of •the Series, said the problem of students obtaining free tickets -with their matriculation cards and then transferring them to non students has been growing in the last year. She said she hopes the enforcement of the old rule will curb, the problem. Commenting on the second difficulty encountered by th e Series of students not using their tickets or returning them to the -letzel Union desk, Mrs. Brown said she is considering having each student sign MS name and ticket number when he obtains a ticket. At many recent performances, the tickets have been "sold out" but many empty seats remain in the audience because of the great numbef who do not use their tickets. During a performance last term almost one third of Schwab was empty due to this problem, Mrs. Brown pointed out. "This problem is much . greater than'that of students transferring their tickets to non-students. It was just 'easier to solve the-trans fer problem,,so it was announced first," she said. : Mrs; Brown explained some of the problems connected with the distribution procedure she pro posed. t " a report -prepared 'by the Senate Sub-Committee on .

He set out in a black, American sedan , on a long drive to the south several Miles ahead of a U.N. armored column. The U.N. column was assigned to open up the clogged road and rail supply lines from Northern Rhodesia to Elisabethvihe, the Katangan capital where food is running low. - The column reached the Rho desian border without a shot be ing fired after Tshombe moved ahead, declaring to his tattered troops along the road: "I tell you not to Oppose the United Nations because I do not want the people to be massacred." TSHOMBES release came as a surprise. U.N.. Secretary-General U Thant ordered his detention aft er Tshombe had threatened to blow up the installations at Kol wezi if the United Nation troops advanced on the town. Thant de manded free movement into Kol wezi as well as everywhere else in the secessionist province. But Tshombe made guarantees for freedom of U.N. movement only to Sakania, a border cross ing point into Northern Rhodesia about 200 miles southeast of Elis abethville, said an announcement from British Consul Derek Dod son. Tshombe also had offered to move out in advance of the U.N. column to see that his troops withheld their fire on the drive to Sakania. Apparently, the Unit ed Nations was satisfied with this first move because of the need to open supply lines. As defined by the CFSA, hazing is "any action taken or situation created, intentionally, whether on or off fraternity premises, to pro duce mental or physical discom fort, embarrassment, harassment or ridicule." Included by the definition is paddling, in any form; creation of excessive fatigue; physical and psychological shocks; quest s, treasure hunts, scavenger hunts, road trips or any other such ac tivities carried on outside confines of the house." Also designated as hazing is "wearing, publicly, apparel which is conspicuous or not normally in good taste; engaging in public_ stunts and buffoonery; morally degrading .or humiliating games and activities; and late work ses sions which interfere, with scho lastic activities." ANY ACTIVITIES "not con sistent with fraternal law, ritual or policy or the regulations and policies of the educational insti tutions" are also considered hazing by the association. IFC president Emil Sos said this is the first time the council. has adopted a position on hazing since 1956, when it adopted the definition which appears in the 1962-63 IFC rush booklet. Sos said adoption of the new definition is the first in a series of steps to be taken concerning hazing. IFC plans to make policy on enforcement-of non-hazing and punishment of violaters, he said. The council will also formulate more definitions related to hazing practices, he said. IFC meetings concerning adop tion of the new hazing definition were conducted in closed session so that members would feel they could express themselves freely
