Short Rain Fails To Halt Seniors
Last night's short downpour was neither long nor heavy enough to dampen greatly the Senior Day activities.
The rain did not come early enough to save the Faculty Fossils from a 3-1 defeat at the hands of the senior class team in the softball game, but it did slightly hamper the picnic that followed the activities.
All seniors were excused from classes yesterday as a part of the Senior Day celebration.
A small but enthusiastic crowd of seniors watched the softball game which was played later in the after-noon. After the ball game seniors retired to Holcom's grove for a chicken dinner and picnic.
Activities began at 3 p.m. with turtle races on the intramural field. The winning turtle appears in the picture above.
James Sellards, trumpet major from Lawrence, will present a senior recital at 8 p.m. today in Strong auditorium.

He received a bachelor of music education degree in 1950 at the University, and will be a candidate for the bachelor of music degree in trumpet this year. He has taught in Olathe and Tonganoxie public schools.
Sellards' selections will be "Aria and Fanfare" by Paul Vidal, "Sonata for Trumpet and Piano" by Leo Sowerby, and four other compositions. Melvin Zack will accompany Sellards at the piano.
City Retains Ban On Tavern Dancing
Lawrence will keep its present ordinance which bars dancing in city beer establishments. it was decided at a city council meeting yesterday.
The vote was 3-1, with Commissioners George Bradshaw, Simon Hurwitz, and John Crown favoring the motion, and Commissioner John Weatherwax opposing.
Mr. Weatherwax, at last week's meeting, had moved that the present restriction on dancing in establishments selling beer be lifted. The commission debated the proposal at length, then tabled it until yesterday to await public action. Mr. Weatherwax's motion failed for lack of a second.

POGO and MSP members of the All Student council protested the seating of eight AGI members at house and senate meetings last night.
The protests, invalidated by Marjorie England, education junior and president of the house, was made on the grounds that the senators and representatives elected on the AGI ticket in the runoff election were previously filled in a "free and open election. The rightful office-holders are being dispossessed in a manner repugnant to all principles of democratic government," the protest read.
A complete history of the activities of the three political parties as well as individual actions during the past two ASC elections was included in the protest.
The protest also said the ASC must be shown that there has been a serious abuse of power by those holding office. The protest demands the authorities to quests of those who are petitioning for redress are reasonable."
The protest asked that a senate committee be set up to investigate possible fraud in the first election and determine if there were any grounds for invalidation.
This consideration, as stated by the protest, should be on a seat-by-seat basis to guarantee that all sides are heard fully aid fairly. In the event that no evidence of fraud is found, the person elected in the first election should be seated, the protest read. If there is evidence of fraud, it should be for the committee to determine its extent and in such case the committee should decide whom to seat, it said.
The president of the three political parties would call the meeting jointly which would result in the beginning of preliminary investigation (including the setting up of the committee), according to the statement.
Appointments to house and senate committees were defeated in the house. After a motion to set up temporary committee chairmen, Miss England said temporary chairmen will be appointed to carry on necessary business of these committees during the summer.
IkeWon'tChangeStand On Confidential Talks
Washington—(U.P.)—President Eisenhower said emphatically today he has no intention whatsoever of rescinding or relaxing his order against administration officials testifying in the Army-McCarthy hearing on their confidential talks.
And, just as firmly, he said he thinks the hearings should continue until all the principals have testified.
The hearings were recessed Monday for a week pending efforts by the Senate investigating subcommittee to obtain a clarification or modification of the President's order.
Some members of the subcommittee have said there is no use going ahead unless Mr. Eisenhower modifies his order, which forbade administration witnesses to testify about a Jan. 21 meeting of White House, justice department and Army officials.
In another statement today Army Secretary Robert T. Stevens said that the "army alone" is responsible for its charges against Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy.
In a four-paragraph statement Mr. Stevens repeated his charge that Sen. McCarthy, Roy Cohn, and Francis Carr used "improper pressures" to get preferential treatment for Pvt. G. David Schine.
"At no time did the Army or I as its secretary receive any orders from anyone in respect to the preparation or presentation of the Army's case," he said.
Mr. Eisenhower told his news conference that his executive order should not keep the subcommittee from getting any of the pertinent facts.
Mr. Eisenhower said he is anxious for the hearings to end as soon as possible, but not before its has been brought to a proper conclusion with all the facts brought out.
