Balboa, Canal Zone — (U.P.) — A warning that "immediate steps are necessary" to avert the danger of a rockslide in the Gaillard cut of the Panama Canal has been voiced by a special board of consultants.
The board admitted last night that a "potentially dangerous condition" has been created by an ever-widening crack in Contractor's hill overlooking the vital waterway.
Made up of top U.S. geologists, engineers and technicians, the board yesterday ended two days of discussions on means of alleviating the threat of the slide that could block the canal.

Former graduate students who have not been at the University for eight or ten years, or who wish to change their major fields of study, should report first to the graduate office for information and advice.
No Request, Hagerty Says
Washington — (U.P.)— The White House said today it knew of no direct request by Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy to explain his side to President Eisenhower before the Army - McCarthy row "exploded" publicly.
But presidential press secretary James C. Hagerty would not discuss Sen. McCarthy's claim that an effort for an appointment was made through Victor A. Johnson and Maj. Gen. Wilton B. Persons, the President's liaison man with Congress.
Mr. Johnson is director of the Senate Republican Campaign committee. Sen. McCarthy said that sometime between Jan. 22 and Feb. 24 he asked Mr. Johnson to seek a deputy appointment through Gen. persons.
Mr. Hagerty said he knew of "no request by the senator at that time for an appointment with the President."
Mr. Hagery's reply hinged on the idea that no request was made
directly by the senator or his office
directly by the senator or his office. That did not rule out Sen. McCain, who he has sought the appointment by the Johnston-Persons route.
The Wisconsin Republican said he tried and failed to get the appointment. He said he thought the President "was not getting all the facts, and before we had a spectacle here, he should get my version."
Asked whether Sen. McCarthy had sought an appointment with Mr. Eisenhower since Feb. 24, Mr. Hagerty said: "I know of none."
He said that Gen. Persons "hasn't called back."
Sen. McCarthy, meanwhile, said he was "at a loss" to decide whether to go ahead with the Army-McCarthy hearings because of a presidential order forbidding testimony about a high level administration conference last Jan. 21 on the dispute.
1. Acting Chairman Karl E. Mundt (R-S.D.) of the Senate investigating subcommittee dropped efforts to get the order modified after a conference with Attorney General Jeffrey McMullen that called a closed-door meeting of the subcommittee to report on his talk with Mr. Brownell.
boycott the stormy hearings which are to resume Monday. But McCarthy said the President's secrecy order was "completely unfair to my staff" and said Mr. Eisenhower was "making a grave mistake."
2. Mr. Eisenhower, at his news conference, said he wanted to see the hearings continued so the dispute could be "settled conclusively" and "let the chips fall where they may." But he said he had no intention "whataoever" of relaxing his order forbidding testimony about the Jan. 21 conference on the row.
More than 1,400 persons will receive degrees and certificates at commencement exercises in Memorial stadium at 7 p.m. Monday, June 7.
A series of developments yesterday cleared the way for resumption of the hearings which were broken off Monday because of the President's secrecy order:
He would not give a flat yes or no on whether he and his staff will

Summer Rush Ruled Out For Sororities
"Sorority summer rush has been ruled out this year due to a shortage of sorority finances and time," according to Barbara Bateman, pan-hellenic president.
The Greek governing board has outlawed all sorority contact with prospective rushees. A sorority member may exercise normal contact, but no rush parties or correspondence.
Ten boards, each composed of a representative of each sorority, have been set up over the state. They are to meet regularly to discuss any infractions of the rush rules.
The boards will be located in Kansas City, Kan., Kansas City, Mo. Johnson county, Lawrence, Topeka, Pittsburg, Salina, Wichita, Hutchinson, and the Great Bend-Beloit area.
Penalty for the first infraction will be a warning to the sorority. A second infraction will result in the loss of one day's fall rushing, deferred pledging, or the loss of social privileges for the year. Those penalized may petition pan-hellenic in the fall.
Each house must take the responsibility of its alumnae, who will be counted as members in the case of an infraction.

The weather picture for Kansas today is fair in the east and partly cloudy in the western portion. Temperatures will be warmer tonight,
