UNITED NATIONS—British Foreign Secretary Earl Home today rejected the Russian-proposed "Troika, or any variant of the Troika" to run the United Nations.
Speaking in the General Assembly's policy debate today, Lord Home said:
"If we were ever to accept the doctrine that no man can be impartial in carrying out the orders of the Security Council, then the members of the United Nations will have to pack their bags and go home for the world will be morally bankrupt and the doctrine of reaction will have won the day..."

WASHINGTON—The United States may send several hundred additional jet fighters to Europe by the end of the year unless the Berlin crisis subsides. Pentagon sources indicated today.
The possibility emerged from guarded responses to reports that all or most of the 18 fighter-equipped Air National Guard squadrons reporting for active duty Monday will be sent overseas.
Officials said no decision had been made as to which units would be sent overseas. It also was pointed out that the National Guard squadrons will require 30 to 90 days training before they will be ready for duty.
After that they could be sent to Europe or take up stations in the United States to release regular Air Force planes for duty in Europe.

BERLIN—The Communists reinforced their wall dividing Berlin today by building a third barbed wire barrier and digging trenches near the American sector border, West Berlin police reported.
At some points, the wall was built even higher—up to 10 feet from the ground. But a few East Berliners still managed to escape to the West despite the latest East German Communist moves.

NDOLA, Northern Rhodesia—The chief of the international team investigating the Dag Hammarskjold plane crash today denied again that any crash victim died as the result of gunshot wounds.
Lt. Col. Maurice Barber, Rhodesian Civil Aviation Chief, issued a statement insisting that bullets found in one body were from ammunition exploding in the blazing wreckage of the DC6 aircraft.
"Swedish newspapers are quite correct in saying there are mysterious elements in the crash—that's precisely why the investigation is being held," the spokesman said.
Dean, Frat Heads Say Greeks Not Declining
By Clayton Keller
KU fraternity presidents say the fraternity system is not declining—contrary to an article in the October issue of "Esquire."
Paul Ingemanson, Topeka senior and president of the Interfraternity Council, said there has been a change in fraternities from the picture presented in the article, at least at KU.
"IN SCHOLARSHIP, the fraternity average has consistently been above the unorganized house and all-men's average," he said. "Hazing has been replaced by community service projects. Drunkenness is discouraged.
"The criticism of lack of leadership is certainly not valid at KU—fraternity men are leaders while on campus and after graduation. And discrimination has been eliminated from almost all fraternities by law," he said.
Jon Shaffer, Iola senior and president of Tau Kappa Epsilon, also said fraternities are changing.
"I THINK EVERYONE will agree the old fraternity—with hazing, paddles and so on— is going out," he said.
He added he believes fraternities will continue to be selective in choosing their members, but not to the extreme they once were.
Donald K. Alderson, dean of men, also denied that fraternities were in a state of decline and said many KU fraternities are making plans for remodeling their house or building a new house.
Weather
A new cold front today brought the threat of frost and freezing temperatures to parts of Kansas.
The Weather Bureau said freezing temperatures and frost were indicated for most of Western and Northern Kansas with passage of the front.
Some thunderstorms were forecast for southeastern sections today, but no precipitation was in sight for other portions of the state.

"THE KU FRATERNITY system is one of the best in the nation," he said. "Several KU groups have received national recognition in the past year."

He said approximately one-third of the undergraduate men at KU were members of fraternities, and that the University hopes to keep the proportion the same in the future. Fraternities, dormitories, and scholarship halls are equally important, he said.
"We're counting on the fraternities to help us house the increasing number of men who will be enrolling at KU," he said. "With an awareness of their responsibilities and with good leadership the fraternities will continue to grow."

ASC Discusses Prevention of KU-MU Fights
By Karl Koch
The All Student Council last night discussed a plan to prevent violence at the University of Kansas-University of Missouri football game to be held here Nov. 25.
LAWRENCE. KANSAS
A committee of seven persons was appointed to plan a dinner here for MU student body leaders to decide how to prevent violence.
VOWS OF SEVERAL KU and MU students to "get even" after the MU-KU altercations at the football and basketball games last year prompted an ASC resolution last March to look into the possibility of "bilateral disarmament."
Max Eberhart, Great Bend senior and president of the KU student body, said the ASC sent a letter to the All Student Council president at MU, suggesting a conference to prevent trouble at the football game this year.
"We are pretty concerned since this game is to be played here," Eberhart said. "We're the hosts—it's our responsibility to prevent trouble."
EBERHART SAID he had talked with the MU student body president yesterday at noon.
"They're not nearly as concerned with the problem as we are," Eberhart said.
The dinner this fall is only a part of ASC's plan to promote peace between KU and MU fans.
"We've thought about a pact with MU similar to the one we have with Kansas State University." Eberhart said. The pact with K-State designates that any student engaging in willful violence concerning the KU-K-State rivalry will be expelled from school.
Also on the ASC's agenda ot peace-promotion is appeals to the KU alumni through the Newsletter (a magazine for KU alumni).
"WE DON'T HAVE the authority to make this pact on our own," Eberhart said. "We can send an appeal through Chancellor Wescoe to MU."
"We're hoping to get alums riding down here, instead of floating." Eberhart said. "No one drunk will be admitted to the game."
ANOTHER ASC MEMBER. Jay Deane, Kansas City junior, said: "I would like to have campus organizations invite their MU counterparts here before the game.

McCone Named New CIA Head
NEWPORT, R.I. — (UPI) President Kennedy today named Republican John A. McCone, former head of the Atomic Energy Commission, to succeed Allen W. Dulles as director of the Central Intelligence Agency.
The 59-year-old McCone moves into the super-secret post, which heads the Nation's espionage system, that Dulles, 67, has held for eight years.
DULLLES AND McCONE flew together by plane from Washington to the Quonset Naval Air Station this morning,then travelled by helicopter to Hammersmith Farm where they met with the President for an hour before the announcement was made.
Dulles, brother of the late Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, has served his country in intelligence work since World War II when he was enlisted in the Office of Strategic Services by his old friend, Maj. Gen. William S. Donovan.
Dulles came under considerable criticism for the role the CIA played in the dismal failure of the Rebel Cuban landings last April.
McCONE, IN THE past active in Republican politics, was Chairman of the AEC from 1958 to January. 1961. He voluntarily left the post when the Kennedy Administration took office.
During his service with the Eisenhower Administration, McCone was one of the leading advocates for resumption of nuclear testing.
Although in a job whose prime requirement is secrecy, Dulles became involved in controversy not only over the Cuban affair but also in the case of Francis Gary Powers whose U2 plane was downed over Russia just before the Paris Summit Meeting of 1960.
NSA To Furnish Information, Will Provide Forum
By Scott Payne
The KU National Student Association Committee will "serve the campus as an informational agency and will provide opportunities to air controversial matters of student concern."
In a meeting yesterday afternoon in the Pan American Room of the Kansas Union nine members of the 13-member NSA Committee determined this as the Committee's policy.
CAROL McMILLEN, COLD-water senior and committee chairman, began the meeting by proposing speakers and films on "controversial issues in order to create interest in NSA on the campus."
Arthur C. Miller, Pittsburg junior, said, "I think that this committee has a role as an informative agency in matters of student concern that students are not aware of. This is the duty and obligation of the committee."
Miller suggested that the Committee deliberate on resolutions passed at the NSA Congress held August 20-30 in Madison, Wis. He stressed the showing of the film "Harvest of Shame," which concerns migrant farm workers (see UDK, Sept. 25, page 8).
Charles McIwaine, Wichita senior, said. "This issue doesn't involve Kansas or KU. Probably less than one per cent of the student body is from the migrant worker area."
Miss McMillen agreed with McIlwaine and added, "On such an issue there is little controversy at KU and hence, little interest on the part of KU students."
A committee member asked Miller how consideration of this problem would be consistent with NSA's limits of deliberation only on matters dealing with "students as students."
Miss McMillen said, "If we stick to 'students as students' it will limit our action severely."
At this point Miller and McWlaine began a discussion on the Young Americans for Freedom role in the John Birch Society's drive for impeachment of Chief Justice Warren of the United States Supreme Court.
Mellwaine, a member of YAF's National Board of Directors, said, "I am not a member of any organization that advocates impeachment of Warren."

Needed: KU's 'Biggest Swingers'
Two KU students have announced the formation of SIP, a club for "Students Interested in Pleasure."
The two students, Robert Sherwood, Kansas City, Kan., sophomore, and John Potucek, Wellington sophomore, have distributed handbills which state that "SIP is a group of students bonded together for one, and only one purpose—to have a good time."
SHERWOOD AND POTUCEK say the club will sponsor a dance every three weeks at the Big Barn, a dance place at the west city limits of Lawrence.
The handbills proclaim, "SIP must be composed of 500 of the biggest swingers on the campus if it is to survive." The group is for people who "like to dance fast and hard."
The organizers promise that, "throughout SIP's 15-week run various SIP goodies will be presented at the conventions"—SIP talk for dances. Examples: "A great new dance called the SIP (guaranteed to litter the floor with paralyzed bodies in twenty-eight minutes), SIP pennants, and more'!!"
FOR THE LAST FEW DAYS mysterious advertisements have appeared in the Kansan: "Watch for SIP," and "SIP is Coming."
Sherwood and Potucek said the purpose of the ads was to make everyone "aware of SIP, without really knowing anything about it.
"We've got 25 or 30 membership representatives scattered around the campus—they weren't hard to find—but the students don't know who
Let's do "The Sip!"
they are vet." Potucek said.
Sherwood said that when the names of the representatives become known, he expects no trouble in signing up "250 real swinging couples."
THE SIP MEMBERSHIP program is set up on a "psychological perspective" with an announced quota of 500. "Let them come to you," the handbill instructs recruiters. "This is the best way to collect those who actually desire a fun-loving organization like SIP."
The membership drive is scheduled to start this afternoon. According to the handbill, "If we do not hit our membership quota of 500 in the early hours of the evening SIP will cease to be a select group and the membership will open up completely until the quota is filled."
"SIP desires only a set-up crowd, not a beer crowd."
