President Meets With Mao
'In Friendly Atmosphere’
PEKING (AP)—President Kurd met
with Chairman Mao Tse-tung for one
hour and 50 minutes Tuesday, nearly
twice as long as the Chinese leader met
with then President Richard M. Nixon
in 1972.
A brief communique issued several
hours later said they had had “earnest
and significant discussions. . .on
wideranging issues in a friendly at-
mosphere."
The meeting was held in the official
residence of the XI-year-old founder of
the People's Republic in Chungnanhai
Park, near the Forbidden City.
THE COMMUNIST chairman also
greeted Betty Ford, the Fords’ 18-year-
old daughter Susan, Secretary of State
Henry A. Kissinger, Undersecretary of
State Joseph J. Sisco, George Bush,
chief of the U S. liaison office in Pe-
king; Lt. Gen. Brent Scowcroft, the
President’s national security adviser;
Philip Habib, assistant secretary of
state for East Asian and Pacific affairs;
Winston Lord, director of the State
Department policy planning staff; and
Richard Solomon, senior staff member
of the National Security Council.
Mao shook hands all around and the
group posed for a photograph. Then
Mrs. Ford, Susan, Sisco, Habib and
Solomon left while the others began
discussions.
The Mao session forced postpone-
ment of a planned afternoon meeting
between Kissinger and Chinese Foreign
Minister Chiao Kuan-hua. It was
rescheduled for I I 30 p m. after the
Ford party had attended a ballet per-
formance.
MAO WILL BE 82 on Dec. 26 and
reportedly has speech difficulties, but
he has seen a succession of state visitors
in recent months. Kissinger, who also
had a long interview with him in Oc-
tober, said his mind was clear and his
grasp of foreign affairs remarkable.
The phraseology of the statement is-
sued by the Chinese government sug-
gested that the discussions were more
than usually cordial. No details were
given either by the White House staff
or the Chinese beyond the written
statement.
Susan Ford was on a trip outside the
capital to the Great Wall and the Ming
Tombs when she got a telephone mes-
sage to return to Peking immediately
for the Mao meeting. She had to skip
the visit to the tombs, but she had
already trekked up the steep grades of
the serpentine wall, stopping oc-
casionally to be photographed and take
pictures herself.
Representing the Chinese side at the
Mao-Ford meeting were First Vice
Premier Teng Hsiaoping, Vice Premier
Li Hsiennien, Foreign Minister Chiao,
Vice Foreign Minister Wang Hai-jung,
Huang Chen, chief of the Chinese
liaison office in Washington, and two
deputy department directors, Tang
Wensheng and ( hang Han-chih.
A participant in the meeting said
Mao escorted the Ford party to the
door after the talks were finished. The
President said later he thought this was
an unusual gesture by Mao, but
Peking-based correspondents said it
was Mao’s normal practice.
Ford, who began his five-day visit to
China on Monday, met for two hours
Tuesday morning with Teng Hsiao-
ping, and the White House reported "a
constructive exchange of views on a
wide range of international issues.”
T HE OFFICIAL Soviet news agency
lass castigated Teng on Tuesday for
what it called the “vicious attacks” he
made in his toast at a banquet honoring
Ford Monday night. Tass quoted Ford
without comment as saying that the
United States would work to lessen
dangers and would probe new oppor-
tunities for peace.
Tass quoted unnamed U.S. jour-
nalists accompanying Ford as saying
that iiic Chinese speech “was so ar-
rogant and so hostile to the policy of
relaxation of tension..." that the Presi-
dent had considered making “a more
resolute reply” in his own speech.

Kappa Delta Loses Recognition
National Council Issues Order Without Chapter Consultation
By NEIL HORN
Daily Reporter
The NT chapter of Kappa Delta
sorority was declared dormant by the
sorority’s national chapter Sunday.
“Our national collegiate vice-
president, Rugh Bordendaumen. came
down Sunday night with our province
president, and she read a letter from the
national council declaring us dor-
mant,’’ Dallas sophomore Kathy
Ziehe, Kappa Delta membership
chairman, said Tuesday.
“We didn't even expect our national
officer to be here," she said. “When we
came back from the Thanksgiving holi-
day, she (Mrs. Bordendaumen) was
here with the letter."
ACCORDING TO Linda Ray,
Panhellenic adviser, closing of the
chapter was not a single act by the
Kappa Delta National Chapter. She
noted that the SMU chapter was also
declared dormant.
“It seems their (the national council)
idea is to close the smaller chapters
throughout the country,” Mrs. Ray
said Tuesday.

Zeta Phi Beta Sponsors Toy-A-Thon This Week
Zeta Phi Beta sorority is sponsoring a toy-a-thon to give needy children
Christmas toys, Ola Tryon, finance committee chairman, announced Tues-
day.
A table has been set up in the lobby of the Temporary Union Building to re-
ceive new or used toys or cash contributions, said Miss Tryon, a Corpus Chris-
ti senior.
Although the table will only be up thiough Friday, the drive will continue
through Dec. 17, she added.
The national council’s order, which
has a Dec. 13 effective date, was issued
without consulting Kappa Delta
members or the sorority’s alumni, Miss
Ziehe said Tuesday.
Miss Ziehe said the reason for the
chapter’s dormant ruling was because
of its size. The chapter now has four
members and four pledges.
“OUR PLEDGES will still be in-
itiated," Miss Ziehe said.
The pledges will be initiated at TCU
because the national council removed
all sorority items from the North Texas
chapter.
"Anything they can use in es-
tablishing a new chapter, they have
taken," Miss Ziehe said.
The Gamma Beta chapter of Kappa
Delta Sorority was established on the
North Texas campus on Feb. 13, 1954.
Kappa Delta was the fourth national
sorority to be established at NTSU.
MRS. RAY, Panhellenic adviser,
said the Panhellenic Association would
welcome the former Kappa Delta
members in its functions.
SGA Drops
Snack Plan
For Dorms
A proposed snack service for dor-
mitory residents, sponsored in conjunc-
tion with the Student Government As-
sociation (SGA) scholarship fund
drive, has been canceled, Dennis Mar-
tinez, chairman of the drive, said Mon-
day.
He said setting up the service was
“not feasible,” and that plans were
never finalized. The Union Food Ser-
vice was to have provided the facilities.
The planned service would have
provided sandwiches, candy bars, fruit
and soft drinks inside each dormitory
for residents to buy after regular
cafeteria hours.
Martinez said the main thrust of the
scholarship fund drive from now until
Dec. 20 will be toward the NT campus.
He said he plans to approach all dor-
mitory associations for donations and
to set up a table for collecting funds in
the Union Building.
Mrs. Ray pointed out that two Kap-
pa Delta members had won awards
given to Greek women Monday. Miss
Ziehe and Waco senior Jill Dickey,
Kappa Delta president, were among
the I0 award winners based on
cooperation with the Panhellenic As-
sociation.
Even though the former Kappa
Delta members can remain active in
Panhellenic activities, they cannot join
another sorority. Miss Ziehe said Tues-
day
“We are Kappa Deltas and will be
for life," she said. “Even if we could
join another sorority, we wouldn’t
want to."
“Everyone has called us and told us
how sorry they are and have asked if
they can heip," Miss Ziehe said Tues-
day. "They (other sororities) have been
very good to u:;. One of the other
sororities (Alpha Xi Delta) has asked
us to be associate members.
“I think it is a real credit to the
Panhellenic system," she said
few people have done most of the work
so far."
HOWEVER. LEE said this year’s
SGA has outproduced by 50 per cent
any other NT student government
Among the projects he cited as being
successful were the study recommend-
ing that the university refund tuition
fees to students dropping courses dur-
ing the first three weeks of school: a
petition drive seeking varsity status for
the Soccer C lub; a study of athletic de-
partments across the country and the
recommendation that NT's men's and
women’s athletic programs he merged.
Also mentioned were sponsorship of
a yearbook for seniors; the showing of
the Muhammed Ali-Joe Frazier fight
film; the push for removal of parking
meters on Hickory Street; and plans to
conduct a wet-dry election petition
drive in the spring.
Lee mentioned areas in which he felt
SGA had failed, including the lateness
of production of the course selection
handbook and discount coupon
booklets.
THE SGA Ml ST review its consti-
tution this spring. Lee said. He also
called on the assembly to institute a pro-
gram of remedial instruction for stu-
dents with Scholastic Aptitude Test
(SAT) scores below 700, to make sug-
gestions regarding the reorganization
of the dean's office in the area of the
Center for Ethnic Affairs, and to work
for a seat for a graduage student on
the Faculty Senate.
Assembly members will he required
to devote three daytime hours to SGA
work each week of the spring semester,
Lee said
