Latest McCarthy Demand Dismissed
Washington — (U.P.) The Senate Investigating subcommittee moved ahead with preparations for its Army-McCarthy inquiry today without acting on Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy's (R.-Wis.) new demand for interim hearings on communism.
Yippee!
K-2 Lecture Set For 8 p.m. Today
An illustrated lecture on attempts to climb K-2, the second highest mountain in the world, will be given by Robert Craig at 8 p.m. today in Fraser theater. The lecture, originally scheduled for yesterday, was postponed when Mr. Craig encountered transportation difficulties in Denver and was unable to appear.
Primary Entry Deadline at 6
The deadline for all persons who intend to run in next Wednesday's primary elections for class officers or ASC offices, is 6 p.m. today. At that time any person who wants his name on a primary ballet must have put his statement of candidacy, or petition, if needed, in the hands of Dana Anderson, college sophomore and All Student Council Elections chairman.
Sen. McCarthy charged last night that it is "ridiculous" to delay his investigation of Reds in defense plants when the subcommittee's regular staff is not working on the Army dispute anyway.
This deadline applies to class officer candidates, Anderson said, although persons running for these offices run without party backing. Any class officer candidate must present a petition signed by 25 members of his class.
It also applies to any student running for any of the regular ASC offices with party backing. Such candidates need only present a signed statement of their desire to run for office. Persons who wish to run for ASC offices without party backing needn't run in a primary. To get on the general election ballot, they must present a special type of petition at a later date. Anderson said.
Filing fees of $1 per candidate must be paid when petition is turned in.
Campus Adds Western Atmosphere
By KAREN HILMER
Yes sir-e-e-e-! The pioneer folk back 100 years ago would feel right at home if they could see the Hill today. The campus has taken on the old western look, lunchings and all.
Monday, to start things off, two hearty fellows, Clarke Keys and Tom Stewart, journalism seniors, pitched a pup tent outside the Journalism building. When asked about life in a tent, Keys said, "The cool air is conducive to sleep, but, of course, the rain puts a damper on things." When asked if they feel like men of the old West, Keys replied, "Oh my yes, it's just a perfect setting—don't believe it would be a suitable occupation, however.
The weather has played dirty tricks on the two centennial celebrators. "The wind made the rain bad last night—we're thinking of packing up and heading for the drier areas and hiring out our services as rainmakers," Keys said. An inquisitive student asked if they were supposed to be living as pioneers, why get their food from
"The food is wonderful—we're eating some of the best food we've had this year."
Last night a dance was held in the Trail room of the Student Union for those who like to dance western style.
who didn't go western for the centennial" was hung from a tree in Fowler Grove, but yesterday the lynchers were saved the trouble of stringing anyone else up. Many students turned out with beards and armpits, and they called "Uuncle Jimmy" was dressed up—mustache and all by the Jay Jones
Tomorrow from 10 a.m. to noon, a buckboard with a team of horses will begin its journey at the Chi Omega house and will proceed down Jayhawk drive. The buckboard will be followed by a student band on a truck.
Rusty's supermarket? Why don't they grow it? Keys said, "We made an arrangement with the University not to disturb the lawn—besides, there was no way of knowing it in rain so that the crops would grow."
Contestants in the costume contest will be judged at 2 p.m. in the reading room of the School of Journalism. The judges will be George Beckmann, assistant professor of history; Dean Burton W. Marvin, of the School of Journalism, and William Korbel Jr., assistant professor of business.
Awards will be presented to two men winners and two women winners at the Rock Chalk Revue. Donald Helfrey, business senior, will make the awards.
Two centennial celebrators got a little rambunctious and invaded the Hawk's Nest in the Student Union Tuesday. These two unshaven, masked remnants of the Jesse James band, more commonly known around the campus as William Cook, business junior, and James Glass, engineering sophomore, slipped into the room via the kitchen and held up the cash register.
When asked if they would camp out again—no comment.
Tuesday afternoon the "varmint
The lights were turned off and a silence fell over the coffee-drinking crowd. Robert Worcester, engineering junior, becoming alarmed at their intentions, stood up and exclaimed, "What are you doing?" His question was answered by a volley of gunshots. The two "bandits" left the Nest the same way they had entered. The money taken from the cash register was later discovered to be counterfeit.
But Sen. John L. McCellan (D-Ark.), senior subcommittee Democrat, put his foot down hard. He said the group last week voted to a man to hold no other hearings until the McCarthy-Army squabble is settled.
"We have already been unanimous on this matter and as far as I'm concerned, that's final," he told newsmen today. "This job is going to be done first."
And that appeared to be that. Sen, McClellan said the group expects to pick a special counsel for the Army investigation this week. Temporary chairman Karl E. Mundt (R-S.D.) announced today that he hopes to begin the televised hearings next week—running them for four hours a day and hoping to finish in five days.
2. His three-man subcommittee on procedures is "working vigorously" on the histories of three men to see if they have the experience and objectivity to serve as the special counsel.
Sen. Mundt also told newsman:
1. President Eisenhower showed "good judgment and good taste" yesterday when he told his news conference, in a reference to Sen.
McCarthy, that no man should sit in judgment on himself.
The subcommittee voted last week to hire a special counsel and staff to investigate the Army-McCarthy row. The Army has accused Sen, McCarthy and his chief counsel, Roy M. Cohn, of using pressure to get favored treatment for a drafted McCarthy investigator, G. David Schine. Sen, McCarthy counter-charged that the Army tried to "blackmail" him out of investigating Reds in the military.
The chief issue in the preliminary maneuvering is what role Sen. McCarthy should play. He has said he is willing to step down from the subcommittee but insists he retain the right to cross-examine witnesses.
In his statement to reporters today, Sen. Mundt declined to be declared his own views but he noted that Sen. McCarthy has surrendered his right to vote on procedure and on final decision in the case. He also said Sen. McCarthy's offer to let another Republican take his place is no problem.
"I'm not concerned whether we alvee four Republican votes or three," he said. "We've had no arguments and I don't believe we're going to have a partisan vote."
