Throughout the Greek Week of April 1-6, a competitive spirit existed not only in the athletic and intellectual events, but also in the philanthropic activities and scholarship fund raising drives of Panhellenic and the Interfraternity Council.
Panhellenic’s project was the collection of food and money as a donation to the needy migrant workers. Originally planned the money collected would be used to buy food, however some of

CHICAGO — (AP) — President Johnson ordered 5,-000 regular Army troops into riot-torn Chicago Saturday night, as Illinois National Guardsmen and police battled snipers and attempted to enforce a curfew.
The federal troops were requested by Lt. Gov. Samuel H. Shapiro of Illinois, who termed widespread disturbances in Chicago an insurrection. He acted in the absence of Gov. Otto Kerner, who is in Florida.
Federal troops will bolster some 11,500 city policemen and 6,900 guardsmen who have battled snipers and looters since Friday night. Nine Negro men have been

BALTIMORE. Md. — (AP) — Shooting, fires and looting erupted in Baltimore Saturday night, and Gov. Spiro T. A g n e w immediately proclaimed that a state of public crisis existed.
The swift action by the governor, under a bill signed into law Friday, gave him authority to dispatch National Guard and State Police into the city. He did not do so immediately.
City police sealed off a five-block-long business section just north of the downtown area where trouble was first reported. .But numerous incidents, including shooting.

the money was donated to the Community Action Fund so as to set up an emergency reservoir so that families needing clothing and food would be able to receive it when needed. $150 was collected on April 2 and 3 and was given to the Community Action Fund Friday, April 5.
The largest philanthropic drive was the IFC Blood Drive April 2 and 3. Last year 370 pints were collected with Sigma Chi and Alpha Tau Omega, both with 100",', of their membership contrib-
during the riot and more than 1,100 have been arrested.
Sniper fire echoed through the near North Side Saturday evening and police said four persons were wounded by a sniper firing from the roof of a 20-story public housing building.
Maj. Joseph Vecchio of the National Guard said late Saturday that law and order in the city “had deteriorated all day.”
Brig. Gen. Richard T. Dunn, guard commander, said that in addition to the 6,-900 troops already in the city, three battalions totaling 1,200 men have been mobilized.
The White House said the first Army troops were air-

A 11 off-duty policem« n were ordered to report to duty, and a curbside command post was set up to handle calls and dispatch officers.
Two stores, one which sells furniture, were reported burned in the original area — where merchants sell mostly to Negroes.
A newsman on the scene said there was widespread evidence of vandalism, and rocks were being thrown through store windows.
In issuing the proclamation, Gov. Agnew noted there were “injuries to persons and destruction to property.”

This year Sigma Chi came in first again as nearly their entire membership donated 86 pints. 100% of the ATO membership gave 63 pints to come in second. Kappa Sigma gave 49 pints from 89% of their members to place third.
The donation was given to Variety Children’s Hospital. As of now, the blood is in the blood bank and will be distributed when a place is de-c i d e d. Variety Children’s

In his telegram to the President asking for “up to 5,000 troops,” Shapiro said: “Un- I der existing circumstances I the law enforcement re- i sources of the state are una- j ble to suppress the serious domestic violence in or near the city of Chicago.”
Shapiro said he was asked to make the request by Mayor Richard J. Daley of Chicago. Earlier in the day Mayor Daley clamped a strict 7 p.m. curfew on persons under 21, and the National Guard was beefed up by two more battalions.
But Saturday night the curfew was defied by 200 youths on the South Side | who marched arm-in-arm on 63rd Street. Police reported I several small fires, shattered I windows and overturned i autos in the area.
The area hit hardest Friday night — West Madison Street — was reported relatively quiet Saturday night. Armored personnel carriers Continued On Page 2
Memorial Services For King
A memorial service for the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King will be held at the Episcopal ! Chapel of the Venerable Bede today at 11 a m.
"This service is provided for all UM students wishing to express their feelings of I sympathy for this outstand-* ing Christian man.” said Rev. Henry Minich, dire^or.
Hospital, the Mt. Sinai Open Heart Surgery Program, for people who can’t afford to pay, and the Muscular Dis-trophy Fund are projects under consideration.
“I think the blood drive is one of the biggest and most charitable works of IFC. At fifteen dollars per pint for 370 pints an equivalent monetary donation would be $5,500. I can’t think of another drive as successful,” commented Martin Arostegui, second year chairman of the IFC Blood Drive,
Another program that was sponsored by IFC was a scholarship fund initiated three years ago by Dean
Patrick Halloran, assistant Dean of Men.
The highest donation per member per capita came from Pi Kappa Phi fraternity. The total was $35 raised.
The money was raised primarily through donations from the fraternities and spirit points were given to fraternities giving $20 or more.
“A goal of $10,000 is set I and when achieved, it will be the largest fund from any IFC across the country,” stated George Lachat chairman of the scholarship fund.
He continued, “Last year points were given for $50 or more. Awards were not given to fraternities on a per capita basis, thus, alumni support was inspired. Because of the per capita basis most fraternities gave just the minimum. Ninety-five per cent of the fraternities did contribute to the fund and I think they should be commended for their interest.”
Students To Make Maps
Geography seniors at L’M were given an opportunity to combine their academic studies to photogrametry problem solving.
The students, members of Geography 412, applied cartography, have coordinated a combined project with the Environmental Science Services Administration of the U.S. Department of Commerce.
The students with governmental assistance and cooperation are going to map the entire east coast of Florida from West Palm Beach to Key West.
The project has the full j cooperation of university j officials and the National | Hurricane Center, Dr. R. H. j Simpson, Director.
Specialized maps are to he made whereby governmental authorities can access hurricane damage and predict water inundation levels resulting from hurricanes.
This project is the first of j many proposed cooperative efforts between the university and the Environmental Science Services Administration.	*

Kinjr Lies In Stale
ATLANTA, Ga. — (AP) — The magic of Martin Luther King Jr., that could bring thousands streaming to his support in rac ial disputes, continued to draw people to Atlanta today — and turned this Deep South city into a seat of mourning for the Negro leader.
Streets near his hier were packed with traffic. People stood in line for hour after hour, endlessly, to view his body.
And the city which gave its famous citizen only mixed homage during his lifetime was more openhanded in his death.
City schools will be closed today — the day funeral
services will be held. Some businesses were closing, taking newspaper and broadcast advertising to honor Dr. King.
While the city mourned, Mrs. King and three of her children left with singer Harry Belafonte on a plane for Memphis to support the striking garbage workers there. It was while participating in this cause that Dr. King was shot to death.
Even as the plane soared from Atlanta Airport, chartered craft with King mourners were arriving.
l’apol Document Against Kacism
VATICAN CITY — (AP) — The assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King may hasten publication of a papal document against racism.
After King had an audience with Pope Paul VI on Sept.
18, 1964, the Negro civil rights leader said the pontiff had assured him he would issue a document deploring discrimination in all its forms.
'The Pope has frequently spoken out against discrimination, hut a specific document devoted exclusively to the problem has not appeared.
On Palm Sunday, the Pope called King’s murder "a cowardly and atrocious killing.”
Kepublicans Still Underdogs
TALLAHASSEE — (AP) — The Republican party is still "underdog” despite President Lyndon B. Johnson’s withdrawal as a candidate, according to Florida’s Republican Gov. Claude Kirk.
"Our stature has not changed,” Kirk told a news conference. “We’re the underdog with the serious uphill contest to win the most powerful office in the world, which is now occupied by the powerists who aren’t going to give it up to any Republican lightly.
