Law Discloses
ROTC Slash
For Juniors
One hundred-sixteen Army and
Air Force juniors, a collective
slash of nearly fifty per cent from
last year's quota, have been- ad
mitted into the advanced ROTC
program, announced Captain
Law, Associate Professor of Mili
tary Science and Tactics.
In the breakdown between the
two services Law noted that 175
juniors in the Army program and
approximately 80 in the Air Force
were admitted in the '53 ROTC ad
vanced program. This year 67
Army cadets and 49 Air Force
cadets were admitted. "
The reasons underlying the cut,
thought Law, were governmental
economy measures, reduction in
requirements and a general over
flow of officers since the Korean
conflict. He noted that last year
several cadets receiving training in
Ordance, Tr asportation and Mili
tary Police were commissioned in
other companies.
Cadets are accepted into the ad
vanced program on a voluntary
basis with the concurrence of the
Chancellor and the approval of the
ROTC department. Candidates are
selected on the basis of an apti
tude test, physical examination,
leadership potential, over-all schol
arship and ROTC grade average.
The Outside World
McCarthy Censured
By FRED DALY
Staff Write
A special Senate investigating committee recommended Monday
that Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy be censured by the Senate on two
counts.
The committee decided "no censure" on three other broad charges
considered in nine days of bearings. Adoption of a resolution of
censure by the Senate would amount simply to a public rebuke and
would not remove McCarthy of any of his senatorial privileges.
McCarthy's lawyer said Monday that the Senator is prepared
to wage a "vigorous and lengthy" fight against the recommendation
when the Senate convenes in a special session November Z.
Dulles Optimistic About Armament
Secretary of State John Foster Dulles was reported optimistic
on the chances for an agreement on West German armament after
a 90-rniirute talk with French Premier Mendes-France Monday.
A top informant said the opening of the Nine-Power Conference
In England today would find the two "not very far apart in prin
ciple." Dulles conferred for three hours with British Foreign Secretary
Anthony Eden before meeting with Mendes-France.
The French Premier, whose government scuttled the EDC, has
proposed an alternate plan of European defense based on the
expansion of the five-nation Brussels pact to include . West Germany
- and Italy.
Japan Rocked By Typhoon
Northern Japan rocked under a typhoon Sunday night which re
sulted in the deaths of an estimated 1,500 persons, including fifty
eight Americans dead or missing. ,
The ocean ferry Toy a Maru took the biggest toll of lives when
It smashed up with 1,252 passengers and crewmen aboard. Of 57
Americans on the ferry, only one' was known to have survived.
Nehru Invited To Peiping
Indian Prime Minister Jawaharal Nehru apparently shifted his
foreign policy closer to cooperation with Red China as a result of
the Southeast Asia Defense Pact. Nehru will go to Peiping, capital
of Red China, about October 6 for "a friendly visit to a neighbor
country." .
The visit, officially by invitation of the Chinese, was announced
three days before the opening of the Southeastern Asia conference In
Manila. But there is every indication that the visit was arrarged as
an answer to the Manila conference.
Nehru seems to want to arrange a "coexistence agreement
with India, Red China, Indonesia, Burma and Ceylon, lie agreement
would allect one billion people.

Dunning had made. 60 shots have
been given in the case of McMast
ers, including most of the Delta
Tau Delta fraternity, of which he
was a member.
Since Dunning did not live at the
Sigma Chi house. Dr. Fuenning
stated that it would not be neces
sary, to administer shots to the
whole house. At 2 o'clock Monday,
four shots had been given in con
nection with this case. Although
limited to personal contacts, shots
will be given free of charge to
students involved.
DR. FUENNING explained that
there was no cause for alarm, and
pointed out that when a similar
situation developed four or five
years ago at this time of year, the
situation terminated by the first
frost. At that time, he recalled
Student Health was besieged with
worried students who panicked at
the sign of a cold.
Dr. Fuenning expressed some
doubt as to the effect of the shots
and explained, "The use of Gamma
Globulin as a protective agent is
still questionable unless given
early; even then, there is some
question."
Possible preventive measures
which he cited are: get plenty of
rest to avoid fatigue, avoid expos
ure if possible and follow an ade
quate diet.

the result of almost a year's prep
aration, Miss Colbert said.

last spring for AUF support. The
choice was made after tabulation
of a student preferential poll and
consultation with charity apprais
ing organizations. Community

drive.
TEAMS ARE NOW being organ
