Iowa U. Faculty Asks Probe of Alleged Bias
IOWA CITY — (UPI) — Two University of Iowa faculty members today were seeking investigation of an alleged conspiracy to violate the school's anti-discrimination policy for fraternity membership.
The petition, without identifying the fraternity or pledge involved, apparently referred to Delta Chi which on May 1, 1961, reversed its decision on the pledging of basketball player Andy Hankins after six weeks of fraternity affiliation.
Richard Boe, then president of Delta Chi, resigned the office blaming interference from the fraternity's national office in the pledging of Hankins.
Petitions were put into circulation among faculty members Tuesday calling on Dr. Virgil Hancher. University president, to order a prompt and thorough inquiry by a joint faculty - administration committee.

The petition charged that a "gentleman's agreement" enforced by outsiders resulted in the depledding of a Negro by a fraternity on the Iowa campus.

KU Botanist Gets Grant of $12,650
A KU assistant professor of botany has been awarded $12,650 by the U.S. Public Health Service for the study of how organisms regulate their own cell division.
Prof. J. Eugene Fox will work to isolate and chemically identify certain naturally occurring substances that induce cell division in tissues that normally do not divide. Plant tissues will be used as an assay for these substances.
The information gained from this study might have a bearing on the problem of cancer. Prof. Fox said, since the basic mechanisms underlying cell division are probably similar in plants and animals.
The Public Health Service has recommended additional grants of $11,346 and $11,768 for two additional years of study which would make the total grant $35,764.
