The Iranian ambassador will not be invited to the executive session of the council.

United Nations officials confirmed that the substance of the Iranian case would not be discussed today.

'Barring Women Will Not Solve College Problem'
Malott and Meguiar Don't Like Proposal Of Columbia Dean
"I feel that girls in the Middle West will be more apt to be militant in keeping their place than girls in Eastern schools," she added.
To put women out of college so veterans can enter is not the solution to the problem of the shortage of college opportunities for these men, Chancellor Deane W. Malott and Miss Elizabeth Meguiar, adviser of women, said today.

(Daily Kansas Staff Writer)
Miss Meguiar and Chancellor Maillot disagreed with the suggestion of Miss Margaret B. Pickel, dean of women at Columbia university made today, that all girls should be barred from college for two years to make room for the veterans.
"I believe whole heartedly in helping the veterans as much as possible," Miss Meguiar said, "but not to the extent that it would set the women back and erase all opportunities women have been building for themselves for the past 25 or 30 years."
"We have not yet reached the point where serious consideration need be given to take education away from women," Chancellor Malott said. "Institutions of higher learning are as meaningful to women as to men, and the American way of life places as many responsibilities on women as on men; therefore they need the training they get in colleges and Universities.
"The proportion of men to women here in normal times is three to one." Miss Meguiar added, "and the condition has taken care of itself. In case the administration felt there were a need to limit the enrollment, this ratio could be made a policy of the school, but I don't feel that there will be such a need."
"One solution might be to limit the number of women," Miss Meguiar said, "but to bar them entirely would be a great mistake.
Miss Meguiar also disagreed with Dean Pickel's statement that women are less militant in keeping their places in the business world since the veterans have returned.
The whole situation upset the chancellor, who threw up his hands in despair.
"What would this place be with- out women, anyway?" he asked.
