COUSINS TELLS CLASSES
Say	Well Die Before Bomb
By MEL FRIKIIMAN
Hurricane Editor
Norman Cousins, editor of The Saturday Review, this week dramatically called upon the United States to reverse the entire focus of its foreign policy and issue a moral declaration, stating that “we would rather die than be the first to drop a nuclear bomb.”
He quickly followed this by urging the creation of “a drastically-strengthened United Nations to underwrite the safety and security of all nations. That is, a U N. which does not have to wait for emergencies, one which does not have to beg for support.”
Cousins advanced his theories Monday and elaborated on them Wednesday before 1.000 University College students on closed circuit television.
He suggested that individual nations would have to give up some sovereignty to make the world federation effective.
“We must change the context of our foreign policy,” he emphasized. “It must be the context of world law, not our outdated balance of power setup.”
Cousins said that this country must recognize that the U.N. in its present form “is not equipped to

Norman Cousins’ lectures successfully kicked off a program of top-flight intellects serving as guest professors at the University College, UC Dean Paul K Vonk said yesterday.
He said that plans are underway for the foundation which represented Cousins, editor of The Saturday Review, to send additional lecturers for UC courses next fall.
Dean Vonk promised that there would be "an appropriate balance in the program between conservative and liberal speakers.”
Cousins lectured to his audience over closed circuit tele-

vision. His image appeared before 1000 students in the lecture halls on a 10-foot square screen. Another 100 persons watched him broadcast from the studio, which is in an adjoining part of the building.
The editor lectured to the large social science classes and also held several small seminars for both students and for faculty.
He will leave the UM tonight.
Several receptions were

All resident women will participate in a get-rich night for the Associated Women Students Wednesday by paying a penny for each minute they are out over curfew.
The Penny-A-Minute Night money-raising campaign, held every year in the women’s dorms, will last for one hour— from 9 to 10 p.m. for freshmen and from 11 p.m. to midnight for upper classmen. The most a resident can pay is 60 cents.
held in his honor by both students and faculty. Orange Key, the UC student leadership honorary, held a special student reception for him yesterday.
Cousins also spoke to the Citizens Board, a sustaining foundation of UM, and attended parts of the Photojournalism Conference now in session.
His appearance on campus was sponsored by a New York foundation. Identity of the foundation has not been released.
However, Dean Vonk said that the University has been contacted by two other foundations who are interested in taking part in the series.
The president of the New York foundation responsible for Cousins' appearance was on campus Monday and Tuesday of this week and was pleased with the way Cousins was being received here by both students and faculty.
Although the program was l>eing tested only in the social science classes, the proposed program to be set up next fall will include the UC humanities and natural science classes also.
It is hoped that all future lectures wil be recorded on video tape and placed in a
video tape library.
In short, it is to make clear and toughen up the vague and not strongly enforced alcohol codes of 1951, according to Myers. The move was deemed necessary because of several recent incidents—in which one fraternity was suspended and another placed on social probation.
Alcoholic beverages have hren ruled out at open social affairs and mixers. Myers defined an open affair as “any social function at which non-menihers and pledges of the particular chapter are present.”
Open houses and mixers must now be registered as such in the Student Activities office.
The power to enforce this code has been assumed by the IFC Judiciary. It was indicated that violation could lead to social probation. Repetition of offenses may further lead to suspension or revocation of the fraternity’s charter.
The new policy has no new affect on “closed” fraternity functions: functions involving frat members and formally invited guests.
Drinking is allowed, provided the student is not under 21.
Steve Miller, president of IFC, stood firmly behind the administration's move:
“This clamping down is not actually restricting frals from doing what they want to do as much as allying them closer to their intents and principles.
“If it is the purpose of a mixer to afford the men an opportunity to socialize, the elimination of alcohol should have little effect.”

Hurricane Named l ops
The Hurricane was named this week as one of the five best college newspapers in the country by the American Newspaper Publishers Association.
The judges placed The Hurricane “in a class by itself among college weeklies, regretting only that the paper is not published more frequently.”
In addition, The Hurricane was chosen the best newspaper in the South for the third time in four years by the American Newspaper Guild.
