Students, Administration
Discuss Aderhold Ruling
Representatives of Greek and Independent organizational
met yesterday with an administration committee in an at
tempt to resolve problems on a decision by President 0. C.,
Aderhold to shorten Orientation Week.
President Kennedy made
perhaps the most significant
declaration of his two-and-one-
half years in office when he
announced a blockade of Cuba.
He disclosed Russian arms
have turned Cuba into a clear
ly offensive base capable of
delivering destruction into the
heart of America.
Following the President’s
declaration, the Defense De
partment announced that So
viet Bloc ships are now en
route to Cuba and the United
States proposes to search them
under the order of the declara
tion. The Department also told
of its intentions to search, and
sink if necessary, ships of any
nation carrying offensive wea
pons to Cuba.
Dr. Frank K. Gibson, asso
ciate professor of political
science at the University, in
terprets the implications of the
address as the gravest possible.
He said, “The attitude of the
Soviet Union to this proclama
tion by the President will de
cide whether this action Is a
preliminary step to end the
missile buildup in Cuba or an
act of war.
"Kennedy said that if this
does not work then we will be
forced to take more drastic
measures, which I can only
conclude to mean bombing or
some type of invasion of Cuba,”
he added. He ended by saying
that he hopes the Soviet Union
will think a long time before
they take action.
A spokesman for the State
Department was asked whether
the U. S. was prepared to sink
Soviet ships and his answer
was, “Yes.” He added that a
force "more than enough" is
available to carry out the
President’s order to prevent
the shipment of offensive arms
and to "obtain the withdrawal”
of offensive weapons now in
Cuhn. He said the quarantine
will be in full operation "in a
day or two.”

ty’s Sigma Chi chapter 27 years
ago, the Derby is now a nation
al event conducted each year
by more than 50 chapters.
Director of Student Activities
John Cox, chairman of tho
committee, said "Orientation
Week will definitely be short
ened next year, so we are hav
ing to eliminate a few of the
activities."
“it looks very difficult at
this point to please all groups.
Some compromising is going to
be necessary, but I hope we
will be nhle to clear It up at
our meeting next Mondny."

THE NECESSITY for a
shorter orientation arose, Cox
said, when he was told by
