Greek leaders react to MU plans
By HOWARD PANKRATZ Kansan Staff Writer
On Dec. 12, the University of Missouri will decide whether or not that university's Greek system will be allowed to go "off campus." According to Elizabeth Barnett, the editor of MU's Maneater and a member of MU's Kappa Alpha Theta chapter, it is doubtful whether MU's traditionally conservative administration will permit such a step.
She said under the proposed system the houses would have no hours and liquor would be allowed in them, the members of each house assuming the responsibility for any drinking done by those under 18 years of age. She said most of the houses had been in touch with their national chapters and had received permission
to go off campus. However, she said a few of the chapters had not heard from their national headquarters yet.
"Under the system we would be allowed to have homecoming decorations and to enter queen candidates for such things as homecoming. Also, freshmen would be allowed to have keys on the same arrangement that our upperclassmen now have," she said. "Under the present system, upper classmen are allowed to have keys if their parents grant them permission.
Mark Retonde, president of the KU Interfraternity Council, said he had received minutes of the meetings at MU and was aware of what was going on. "However, their attitude is quite a bit different from ours," he said.
US may delay testing
HELSINKI (UPI) — In an unexpected announcement, U.S. spokesmen at the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT) with Russia said Thursday night that Washington is considering the possibility of a moratorium on testing multiple warhead missiles.
There was surprise in official circles that the U.S. State Department had chosen this time to reconfirm that America was considering a moratorium proposal.
It had been agreed that neither side should make public any details concerning the talks.
The spokesmen said, however, that no moratorium proposal had yet been made to the Soviet Union as the Helsinki preparatory talks had begun Nov. 17.
It has always been assumed that this was one of the ideas with which the United States had gone into the preliminary talks in Helsinki.
Bombs hit U.S. firms
No injuries were reported from any of the predawn bombings.
BUENOS AIRES (UPI)—Terrorists bombed at least 15 U.S. firms in downtown Buenos Aires Thursday. Police said this was an obvious leftist attempt to take public attention from America's Apollo 12 space spectacular.
The explosions knocked down plaster, shattered windows and ruined furniture and records. Several bombs exploded harmlessly in the street.
This was the worst terrorist bombing wave against U.S. firms in Argentina since last June when terrorists firebombed 14 supermarkets owned by the Rockefeller business interests.

The two sides met secretly for the second time Thursday on ways to freeze the nuclear arms race.
They agreed to meet again Monday. The four-day interval is designed to give both sides time to report back to their governments and receive fresh instructions.
Priest joins hijackers
VIENNA (UPI) — Two young Poles brandishing a toy pistol and a fake bomb hijacked a Polish airliner to Vienna Thursday, and asked for political asylum in Austria. There were 22 persons aboard.
One of the passengers, a Catholic priest, also asked for asylum on the spur of the moment.
A stewardess, Elsbieta Zurkowska, 24, received minor injuries when her arm was twised by one of the hijackers.
The two Polish youths, Wieslaw Szymankiewicz and Wieslaw Sosakowiecz, both 20, were arrested at Vienna's Schwechat Airport.
An interior ministry spokesman said that while the two hijackers were being interrogated, the unidentified priest had come up and had also asked to be allowed to remain in the West.
The spokesman said the priest apparently had nothing to do with the hijacking.
Asked if this meant the Greeks at MU were anti-administration and those at KU were pro-administration, Retonde said, "Yes, I'd say that." Retonde laughed and said he would rather not comment on whether he envisioned such action at KU by Greeks.

Barbara Blee, president of the KU Panhellenic Council said she was also aware of what was going on at MU but said as far as she knew nothing but casual talk about MU's actions had ever taken place here. She said no member of the Panhellenic Council had ever brought up in meeting anything concerning similar action at KU.
Jay Strayer, assistant to the dean of men, and IFC adviser, noted recently the IFC had sent to the Chancellor a statement expressing the hope they could maintain a relationship with the administration similar to that under Chancellors Murphy and Wescoe. He said under the present setup, the council handled all matters related to the houses as living groups but problems having to do with individual members of the houses were left to the University.

"I think the students at MU would be making a serious mistake if they decided to move off campus," Strayer said. "As far as the situation here, I've heard nothing that would indicate similar intentions on the part of KU Greeks.
"Everything between the administration and the houses hasn't been a bed of roses, but we have tried to handle our differences confidentially with a minimum
of outside publicity," he said. "The houses have been able to police themselves, through the IFC very well. But again, with regard to the MU situation, I've heard nothing which would indicate a similar intention on the part of KU's houses," he said.
