France Declares State Of Siege Today In Tunisia
Tunis, Tunisia—(U.P.)—France declared a state of siege in Tunisia and arrested Premier Mohammed Chenik, three ministers of his anti-French government and several extremist leaders.
French resident General Count Jean De Hautecloque told the people in a radio broadcast that Chenik and the others had been arrested to halt their "disastrous political activities."
The 20,000-man French army was given police powers under the state of siege and full news censorship was invoked.
He accused the premier of surrendering to "pressure of irresponsible violent elements" in attempting to send two ministers to air the dispute over increased independence for the Tunisian protectorate before the United Nations in New York. The French invalidated the ministers' diplomatic passport to block their trip.
Dr Hauteclocque he said he astsed Mohammed Al-Amin Pasha, Bey of Tunis and nominal ruler of the African protectorate, to appoint another premier who can establish friendly relations with France.
Chenik's arrest followed a French demand yesterday to the Bey of Tunis that he dismiss the premier.

Rioting In Italy Goes Into 3rd Day
Rome — (U.P.) — More than 40,000 students, including Communists and Neo-Fascists, rioted in Rome, Milan, and Naples for the third straight day today, demanding the return of Trieste to Italy.
Pro-Communist youths battled Neo-Fascists with belts and sticks in front of the downtown office of Rome's Communist newspaper.
More than 200 demonstrators, including 120 in Naples alone, were arrested in the disorders in Italy's three biggest cities. Students made up most of the mobs in all cities.
In Naples, 20,000 parading youths rioted when police stopped their advance guard from marching on the American consulate.
According to Madylon, before this change membership in the local IFC was restricted to those social fraternities on the Hill who were members of the national IFC. At present, there are 24 members.
The change will permit Negro fraternities and other recognized social fraternities, not recognized by the national IFC, to become IFC members.
Maclovir said the IFC doesn't expect too much of a rush for membership in the group. When asked whether all locals would be given membership, he said: "Not all. We will admit fraternities as nearly like those on the council now. In other words we are looking for the ones with a good standing on the campus, and a concrete basis."
The removal of the "discriminatory" clause from the constitution of the KU Inter-fraternity council was done to keep the council "in accord with the changing times," according to Keith Maclor, education junior and IFC president.
After the council voted to make the change Mr. Ingrisano said he
Clause Removal
By BOB STEWART
In effect, this change was made; The word "national" was dropped from a section of the constitution reading "Only members of recognized national social fraternities will be accepted in the IFC."
The change was made at the last meeting of the IFC. It was the result of more than a semester of efforts by IFC members and Michael Ingrisano, instructor of English and adviser to the group.
Keeps Council In Accord With Times

was "quite grateful and happy to see how the vote went. The credit belongs to the boys who pushed it through and made a change which broke with a 100 year precedent."
Laurence C. Woodruff, dean of men, said he thought the word "discriminatory" was a misnomer for the changed section. He said: "I couldn't have been labeled as against any organization because of it, because of the section had no mention of these things. Actually all it did was restrict membership of the University IFC to members of the national IFC. This change will allow the KU group to enlarge its membership."
Two fraternities directly affected by the change are Alpha Phi Alpha
and Kappa Alpha Psi, Negro fraternities.
Chester Lewis, president of Alpha Phi Alpha, said he had instructed the fraternity secretary to write a letter to the IFC seeking membership.
Ben Holman, president of Kappa Alpha Psi, said his fraternity had never applied for membership in the IFC. "We have known all along that we could not belong to the KU council without belonging to the national council," he said.
Holman said the new ruling "paints a new picture, however. The chapter has decided to take no action until further information clarifying the role of the council is obtained," he added.
