On April 4 Stanfords Sigma Chi's Await Suspension End By BOB CARL Managing Editor MAwrwnw >.->pcciau—mcmoers oi Stanford University'i Sigma Chi chapter are anxiously awaiting April 4 On that date, the chapter's one year suspen sion will be completed. Ttie chapter was suspended by the executive committee of Sigma Chi Fraternity for "failing to keep the ritual and for falling to keep the chapter house clean," just before the members pledged the lirst Negro in the fraternity's 110-year history. National officers of Sigma Chi have denied that the Stanford chapter was suspended because of the move to pledge a Negro, but members of the Stanford chapter insisted this was the reason for the disciplinary action A committee of national Sigma Chi officers, Stanford chapter undergraduates, and alumni has been reviewing the suspension However, Stan ford University officials have been kept in the dark about the committee's action. "There has been no contact with our office,” said John Hansen, assistant dean of men at Stan ford and Inter Fraternity Council Advisor Han sen held a similar position on this campus before moving to Stanford University. COULD LOSE CHAPTERS Hansen said he thought that the national offi cers of Sigma Chi were worried about the situa tion at Stanford and at other campuses. "Sigma Chi could lose 40 chapters overnight if they make one blatant mistake,” Hansen said, “So far, they’ve managed to cloud the issue—at least here." Members of the Stanford chapter want to be reinstated; a move to disaffiliate from the national chapter last fall was heavily defeated by a vote of the house membership. Three fraternities at Stanford University have disaffiliated themselves from their nationals dur ing the past few years. Hansen said "Sigma Nu went local because of the race issue and Alpha Tau Omega because of religious difficulties with their national " TOTALLY INTEGRATED He said that "most fraternities at Stanford are totally integrated, and pledge anybody they want.” Hansen said that nine fraternities at Stanford now have Negro members. There are 15 fraternities on the campus now. There are no sororities at Stanford. Other campuses, including the University, are also waiting the April 4 decision of the executive committee of Sigma Chi, although, as Hansen said, "it may take some time before the decision about the suspension is made public.” University President Arthur S. Flemming has said that he is interested in the decision, since the University is in the process of investigating Sigma Chi, to find out if the fraternity has local autonomy. Computer Installed For Research Use A computer system costing about $600,000 was installed at the University Mar 14 It will be used primarily for research and instruction and is the largest com puter in the state system of high er education. The IBM System Model 50. a medium sired compute* system, was purchased under the $4 mil lion science improvement grant made to the University by the Na tional Science Foundation some months ago. The new computer will allow the University to conduct com pitting of a more "sophisticated nature" on much larger problems, according to Fred C. Andrews, director of the Statistical Labora tory and Computing Center. Through the combined use of memory and special, high speed registers, the computer is capable UC Instructor To Talk Today Charles Kitsch, instructor of architecture in the College of En vironmental Design at the Uni versity of California at Berkeley, will lecture at 8 p m. today in KM1 Lawrence. The lecture is entitled “Of Blobs. Potatoes, and Topology, or a New Language for Physical Re lationships.” An educator whose unusual educational background includes both psychology and architecture, ltusch is working toward a doc torate in a combined program of architecture and psychology. He received a bachelor of arts de gree in psychology from Harvard and a bachelor of architecture de gree from UC. During the current year, Rusch is collaborating with M u r r a y Milne on the computer-aided de sign program being carried out by a group of students in the fifth year. Dean Wickham Enters Politics Golda Wickham, dean of wo men at the University, has filed for the Republican nomination for state senate position num ber three, now held by Demo crat Glen Stadler. Mrs. Wickham is unopposed in the primary, as is Senator Stadler. of attaining speeds measured in units of one-half a millionth of a second. Its main memory can range up to more than 128,000 characters The computer possesses a | "packed decimal” capability which conserves storage space both in memory and disk storage units and it is capable of detect ing, diagnosing, and correcting errors without operator interven ; tion. Temporarily being housed in the old Student Health Center, the computer will eventually be located in the Computer Center building, to be located east of Kincaid Street close to Common wealth Hall. Preliminary plans have been approved and architects are now preparing final plans for the new Computer Center building The new computer will begin operation by the end of March. A similar computer system will be installed at Oregon State Uni versity within the next few months.

Student Union, and several other j campus buildings. The large absorption cold gen ' erator is now located in the Uni versity Physical Plant north of the Millrsce. The system cost about $400,000 to install. Other buildings which will be { cooled by the new system include the Student Health Service, a sci ence annex which is a temporary computer center, and the campus, television studios. A new com puter center and a new science addition soon to be built will also be served by the system. It is not air conditioning, but instead is described as a cooling" system. Such systems were au thorized by the State Board of Higher Education for several in stitutions of higher learning in order to increase the use and effi 1 ciency of campus buildings dur ing summer periods. The cooling done by the unit is equivalent to melting 12.500 tons of ice in a 24 hour period Two 16-inch chilled water lines carry the 41 degree water from the Physical Plant to the cam pus, where the water then passes through cooling coils in the ven tilating units. Water is used as the refrigerant with a chemical as an absorption material. Cooling is produced by evaporating the water.

I!#r GswntH A Jd NOW SHOWING Evenings 6 and 8:45 Matinee 12:30 and 3:15 fm utttniifl First Layman Sacred Heart Names Williams Richard C. Williams, director of the University Development Fund has been named associate administrator of Sacred Heart General Hospital in Eugene. The appointment was made by Mother Theodore Marie, Provin cial Superior of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Newark, the Catholic order which operates the hospi tal. In making the announcement Monday, Sister M. Bernardine, ad ministrator, pointed out that this is the first time a lay person has ever served in a top-level admin istrative position for the order. University President Arthur S. Flemming announced Williams was resigning effective Thursday in order to accept the appoint ment. Dedicated and Effective “The University is losing the services of one of the most dedi cated and effective staff members it has ever had,” Flemming said, "and Sacred Heart Hospital is getting the services of a person who is ideally suited for the min istry of healing to which those associated with the hospital have long been dedicated.” In his new position, which he begins April 1, Williams will have full administrative supervision of many of the non-medical aspects of the hospital’s operation. He will also be a member of the executive council, the hospital’s local policy-making body, which ; in the past has included only sisters. Important Position “In his long association with the University, Mr. Williams has made many contributions to the i University community,” President . Flemming said when announcing I Williams’ resignation. “Under his direction the Uni versity Development Fund has grown to a position of major : importance in the financial life j of the University and Mr. Wil liams has come to be recognized nationally for his effective lead ership in this important area of ! educational administration. “I have accepted his resigna tion reluctantly but I concur in his conclusion that Sacred Heart Hospital presents an unusual chal lenge to one who possesses the tal ents that are possessed by Mr. Williams ” University Graduate Williams, 49, is a 1941 graduate of the University, where he re ceived his degree in journalism. He became director of the De velopment Fund in 1961. He was previously associated, from 1947 1954, with the University as edu cational activities director and later as Student Union director. He is now chairman of the budget committee of Lane Com r munity College and chairman of the Lane County United Appeal. Williams has been a member of Sacred Heart’s lay advisory board since 1961, and board chair man for the past four years. In this position, he has been closely involved with the hospital’s re cent expansion program and with many other phases of its oper ation and development. New Position In announcing the addition of Williams to the hospital’s admin istrative staff, Sister Bernadine emphasized that the position of associate administrator is a new one, created in view of Sacred Heart’s rapid growth as a re gional medical center. “The sisters' philosophy has al ways been that this is a commu nity hospital,” Sister Bernadine said, “and we believe it is only appropriate that lay representa tion be brought in to give a broad er viewpoint to the sisters’ ad ministrative approach. “We feel particularly fortu nate to have the services of Mr. Williams available to us,” she continued, “and we know that he will help Sacred Heart remain closely attuned to the needs and wishes of the community.” Petitions Available For Rally Squad Rally squad petitions are due April 5. They can be picked up in the Student Union. Try-outs will be April 11. A minimum cumulative grade point of 2.0 is | required. HELD OVER The Great Race Thru April 5 “ONEOFTHE YEAR'S 10 BEST!
