Long said yesterday. When asked to comment on the reasons for the rule requiring that 80 per cent of a fraternity's active membership maintain a C acad emic average, he explained the history and origins of the rule. In the past the academic aver ages of fraternities were generally lower than those of the rest of the University. Accompanying these low averages were various other fraternity problems of wide range. At that time the IFC was very weak and could not effectively handle the problem. Since some thing had to be done, the Faculty Council began to discuss some course of action. Their first idea was that of the "deferred rush" but fraternity reaction was ex tremely adverse, the main objec tions being financial. As an al ternate course, the Faculty estab lished the 80 per cent rule. Under this rule, fraternities are placed on rush and pledge probation-if 80 per cent of their active membership does not maintain a C average for any given semester. If they still fail to meet the re quirements the following semester. signed from the State Department after being a delegate to several of the formative conferences of the UN. He served as mediator for the UN in the Palestine dispute and directed the negotiations which re sulted in the four armistice Agree ments between Israel and the Arab States. In 1956 Bunche or ganized and supervis ed the UN Emergen, cy Force during the Suez crisis. He also organized the UN op eration in the Congo. He holds a Ph.D. from Harvard and served on the facul ty there until 1950, when he resigned with the rank of pro fessor. While at Har vard, he organized the Political Science Dept. Bunche has been the recipient of num. erous honorary de grees and awards in cluding Phi Beta Kappa, the Nobel Peace Prize and the Four Freedoms A ward. i then they lose their rushing and pledging priviledges until such time as they do meet the requirement. Fraternities usually exert as great an influence on their mem bers as do any campus organiza tions. They work in a fraternal spirit in athletics, charity, and in social undertakings. Often, how ever, they tend to look at acad Sigma Chi Maler. Required Marks The Office of Student Affairs yesterday reported that a re check of the grade average of Sigma Chi revealed that the fraternity made an 80 per cent average and will not be placed on probation as the Office report ed Saturday. emics as individual undertakings." The rule is designed to help create a fraternal atmosphere toward academic achievement also. "Although there is no definite axiom that pairs high academic achievement with general success in other areas, this trend has been observed on the campus." The Dean, himself once a fra ternity member for five years, ob served that the rule has had a few adverse effects as some fraterni ties regularly de-activate many of their members merely to achieve the required 80 per cent C's. "This action appears to be a little blood thirsty and is not the desired result of the rule. Other fraternities seem to approach the rule with a proper attitude, encouraging better schol arship by other methods." He noted that the large number of fraternities on probation now is probably partially a result of the greater emphasis placed on fall rush rather than spring rush. "Since rushing and pledging is the lifeblood of any fraternity, the rule could be considered harsh. With a strong IFC however, this respon sibility of maintaining high stand ards could possibly be placed once again in the hands of the students and they could conceivably change the type of restriction. "Relative to the situation preval ent at the time of its institution, I'd say that the 80 per cen rule has been effective, but I think a strong IFC would be even more successful." ' Although he is not completely satisfied with the IFC at this time, the Dean did say that it has im proved this year in the proper di rection.

The party voted in the first ac tion of the night to postpone the nomination of a vice-president of the student body until a party meeting Monday night.

Katanga Leader To Meet Adoula For Talks Soon ELISABETHVILLE, KATANGA, The Congo (UPI) President Moisc Tshombe announced Tuesday he will leave for Leopoldville on March 15 for talks with Central Congolese Premier Cyrille Adoula on ending Katanga's secession from The Congo. Tshombe said the United Nations has promised him all the security he wants for his mission. He told newsmen that Jose Relz Bennett, U. N. chief in Elisabethville, gave him a "solemn declaration" that all security arrangements for the trip and his stay in Leopoldville are complete. Observers said Tshombe's accept tance of the guarantees by the United Nations removed the last obstacle to his meeting with Ad bula" Tshombe will go to" Leop oldville with a mandate from his assembly to discuss ending Ka tanga's 18-month secession on the basis of the Kitona agreement of last December. Tshombe reported "all is calm" at Kamina, where U.N. patrols and Katangese gendarmes skirm ished Monday. U.N. sources said there had been no more shooting but that the gar rison at the former Belgian mili tary base was on a full alert. There were reports of "large-scale troop movement" by Katangese forces in the region in Northern Katanga. ' Tshombe blamed the U.N. troops for the clash. But U.N. headquar ters in Leopoldville said the Ka tangese opened fire first. . Military Aid To Thailand Is Increased WASHINGTON (UPI) The United States, declaring its firm intention to resist Red aggression in Southeast Asia, promised Tues day to step up military aid to Thailand to the greatest extent possible. It also said it would move to halt any Communist attack on Thailand without the prior agree ment of other members of the Southeast Asia Treaty Organiza tion (SEATO). Some member countries have indicated they felt SEATO could act only by unani mous vote. The U. S. pledges were made in a joint communique issued by Sec retary of State Dean Rusk and Thai Foreign Minister Than at Khoman. It covered . agreements reached during Thanat's five-day visit to Washington. Thailand, which shares a com mon border with Laos, has shown mounting concern over its position if Laos or South Viet Nam should fall to the Communists. It also has questioned whether the .SEATO al liance would act promptly or bog down in debate. Although the U. S. pledges re f erred specifically to .Thailand, they presumably applied "with equal force to outright . aggression against any Southeast : Asian " -nation .The United States - .already has stepped up its military aid to South Viet Nam. . Thanat said that as a result of agreements reached during his talks here, "we can express hope for a more stable future for South east Asia and, "of .1 course, -Thai land."
