MORE EDICTS
SC, California Leaders Have Value Clash
An edict by President Clark Kerr of the University of California prohibiting student governments from taking stands on campus issues was deemed “a little strange ” by ASSC President Wally Karabian today.
SC’s student leader said he found it hard to understand how a “great university such as 1he i University of California with many students from other na~
| tions could establish an ‘isolationist’ policy.”
Karabian said such a decree i undermines the basic concept of I student government, which is ¡ “to be of service to the students.”
He added that service neces-j sarily includes bringing in issues ! from outside the campus.
“Certainly we must consider ; those issues,” he said.
Karabian said he is “proud” that SC administrators feel that student government can enter any area it wishes.
"As long as we prove that we are capable, we may explore, discuss and take stands on issues both on and off campus,” he commented.
He concluded that he was sure Piesident Kerr ‘‘has a good reason for his decree.” But as has been seen at SC. many times the problem between the administrator and the student body is not the decree itself, but the lack of communication which surrounds it.
SC Engineer Will Be Sold
The SC Engineer, a semi-technical magazine published quarterly by the School of Engineering, goes on sale today in front of the Engineering School and the Student Union at 25c per copy.
The October issue contains an article by Wernher von Braun on “Missiles and Civilization.” Von Braun is chief of the Guided Missile Development Division, Redstone Arsenal.

Faculty Club Will Discuss Nuns Today
Dr. Harvey J. Locke, profes-sor of sociology, will speak on “A Sociologist Looks at Nuns: a Study of Their Personality Characteristics and Values,” at the Faculty Club Luncheon today at noon in the dining room of the Commons.
Dr. Locke gathered information on this topic when he was invited to study a religious order three years ago. He used objective research procedures and the order gave its approval and active assistance to a study of changing personality characteristics and values of the sisters as they go through extended training and experience.
The results of this study, to-the usual pledge study ta- aether with some personal reactions of the sociologist will be the basis of the lecture, said Dr. William H. Werkmeister. Faculty Club program chairman.
A member of the SC sociology department since 194,i. Dr. Locke formerly taught at the University of Chicago and at Indiana University.
He has been visiting professor for the summer sessions of six major universities and in the academic year 1950-51. he was a visiting professor at Uppsala University, Sweden.
The author of three books and numerous articles. Dr. Locke was elected to membership in the enthusiasm for pledge study fa- American Sociological Research
hies. “Study tables don't help.” Society in 1955.
This society is limited to the 100 most eminent research sociologists in the United States. He gave the annual Graduate Research Lecture in 1952-53.
Faculty members wishing to attend the weekly luncheon-lec-ture meetings should make reservations before noon each Tuesday at Ext. 264.____________^
Grads Host Coffee Hour
All graduate students and faculty are invited to the weekly Graduate School Coffee Hour today from 3 to 4:30 p.m. in the Graduate Student Lounge in Town and Gown.
This social hour is held every Wednesday and is sponsored hy the SC Department of English.
i average of 2. 51 revealed yester-) r’ that fraternities are making a concerted bid to improve their j scholastic ratings.
The new emphasis on a healthier academic climate on 28th sr. is considered a direct reaction to President Norman Topping's scholastic policy requiring fraternities and sororities to maintain a grade average equal to the all-universitv average.
The President’s policy makes it mandatory for Row living groups to improve scholastically by the end cf the 1961 spring semester or risk suspension from the university.
The general pattern adopted i by fraternities is more stringent ; enforcement of study hours and quiet hours and a closer watch on individuals who tend to receive low grades.
Typical of fraternity scholarship programs is that reported bv Tau Kappa Esilon Scholar-shio Chairman Ted Smith. Smith reported that his fraternity con-duc
hie from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. three days a week .
In cases where the pledge study program is conducted, the fidtemities unanimously provided supervision by an*ve mem-btrs. The ‘ Big Brother — Little Brother” system is widely used in Row study programs.
Via the “buddyr” system, pledges are given “big brothers” w ho share the same academic interests. It is the “big brother's” responsibility to aid the pledge j in any way possible.
Ralph Allen, vice-president of Beta Theta Pi. did not share the
he said, “if a pledge doesn't I make grades he is removed from | the pledge class.”
Both Jack Kivott. Acacia pres*-ident. and Bill Stoemer, Alpha Tau Omega scholarship chair-m. n. held the opinion that it was the pledges who lowered grade j averages. Theyr stated that active members are able to hold their own in class.
Delta Tau Delta and Sigma Chi fraternities support a more individualistic approach to raising scholarship standards.
Mike Kazan jian. Sigma Chi president . said, “We have; enough freedom to realize the seriousness of the situation, but j scholarship is up to the individ- I ual and we can only urge our members to do what they can." | Delta Tau Delta President Darrell Carter reported that his ;
