              Norman Cousins' Visit To Kick Off Series?
He’ll Lecture *
At Octagonal Next Week
B.v SUSAN NEUMAN Hurricane assistant Newt Editor
Norman Cousins’ lectures at the University College starting Monday could mark the beginning of a program of top international intellects serving as guest instructors here.
UC Dean Paul K. Vonk said the continuation of the proposed program depends on student reaction to the week-long series of lectures and seminars by Cousins, outspoken editor The Saturday Review.
Cousins will give his first lecture Monday at 10 a-m. to UC social science students. His lectures to those students will be given in the octagonal UC Building on a 10-foot square, closed circuit television screen.
It will be the first time that the new building will be used
The lectures also will be put on audio-visual tape to be played back to the students and to start a video library. UC officials hope to establish a video tape library of all guest professors if this program is successful.
Cousins, who just returned from a government-sponsored trip to India and Laos, will devote his series of lectures to foreign affairs.
His talks to the social science classes will be pertinent to the material being covered in regular rlase.
This program, although being tested only in the social science classes, might be extended to all UC departments.
Dr. Munson, chairman of the UC social division, summed up the program:
“While other universities bring great men to campus only for one lecture we will have them as teachers.”
If the program, made possible by a New York foundation, comes in full swing next fall, up to five men will be brought to
teach each class per semester.
The president of the foundation sponsoring the program will be at the UM several days next week to see how it is being received.
Identity of the foundation has not been released.
Cousin’s schedule for next week includes two student lectures and many small seminar groups. He will also speak to the Citizen’s Board of the UM. Faculty, student and administration receptions will be held.

All 24 UM fraternities voted Monday to stop first-semester freshmen from rushing and pledging.
The self-imposed restriction, to go into effect next spring, will put an end to the traditional big rush and pledge season every fall.
The Council of Fraternity Presidents voted strongly in favor of this "deferred rush" plan as a measure to help boost the academic averages of fraternity members.
However, the plan is only the sketch for deferred rush.
“The job of implementation will fall
upon the next CFP administration,” explained Inter-Fraternity Council adviser Stuart Myers. “The new administration will probably get rolling this semester.”
There are still two major problems to be worked out:
■ Whether freshmen will be permitted to go into fraternity houses at all.
■ Whether fraternity initiation will depend upon accumulative grade average before and after pledging.
“They might decide that if the student doesn’t have the grade the second semester, he could still be initiated,” the adviser explained.

Italy, Too, Calls
Dr. Fabien Sevitzky, UM Symphony conductor, was signed this week to direct seven performances of the opera "Carmen" in the Verona (Italy) Arena this summer.
Dr. Sevitzky will leave a week after returning to Miami from a June South American trip to Chile, Argentina and Brazil.
“Or they might initiate him on the average at the time of pledging.
“Deferred rush, you know, has been looked into on this campus for a long time, but up until now they just haven’t passed it”
He said that the main reason for the plan is to emphasize the scholastic side to fraternity freshmen.
“The freshman average has been poor all over, including the fraternities,” Myers explained. “This plan will require a man to make a C average or better before he can pledge his second semester. This assures us of a high pledge grade average.

Sororities Vie Today At \ Derby ’
By SANDRA STEDMAN Hurricane Assistant News Kitor
A sack race, an egg throw, a scavenger hunt, a pair of mystery events and a torture-the-coaches contest today will highlight the 13th annual Derby Day.
Dean of Women May Brunson this week put her official stamp of approval on all of the events—for the first year.
Theme of the sorority competition sponsored by Sigma Chi social fraternity is “Around The World In A
Derby.”
(The emblem of Sigma Chi is a derby and a cane.)
The festivities will begin at 1:30 p.m. with a parade leaving from the Intramural Field.
Each of the sororities entered will dress in the style of a foreign country.

She Approves
The girls will be vying for trophies and plaques in the various events. In addition, the most enthusiastic sorority will win n spirit cup.
One of five finalists will be chosen queen of Derby Day and the runners-up will serve as her court.
Finalists are Gini Holzman (Alpha Chi Oipega), Judy Roehm and Marianne Lo Biondo (both of Kappa Kappa Gamma), Sue Ann Ebling (Delta Gamma) and Sue Ann Cooper (Alpha Epsilon Phi).
President of Sigma Chi is Joe Enriquez.
Last year. Dean Brunson slapped a ban on the sororities four hours before the girls were to be stationed in “outhouses" for “A Day In The Ozarks.”
The sororities had spent from two to 12 hours each on the fake outhouses, which were to
SAE Placed On Social Probation
Sigma Alpha Epsilon social fraternity was placed on social probation this week on charges growing ou' * its St. Patrick’s ! Day parade and party.
The judiciary council of the Intel-Fraternity Council leveled four major charges at SAE in what was indicated as the beginning of a “get tough” policy within the campus fra-i ternity machinery.
SAE is preparing a formal appeal to Dean of Men Ben David.
The charges—advertising alcoholic beverages, drunken and disorderly conduct, public display of drinking and causing be set up as headquarters for | an accident—are based on vio-the teams.	j lations of the UM alcoholic
beverages code.
This code, according to IFC adviser Stuart Myers, has never been too strongly enforced. He explained that until a month ago, the enforcement of the code was left up to the individual fraternity judiciaries. (Continued on Page 13.)
She thought the impression of the “outhouses" and the “striptease” were “not up to the standards of the University.”
And so, this is the first year in which the dean’s office had' to clear the event.
