Senate Discards Second Count
The Senate discarded the second censure count against ) Senator
Joseph McCarthy Thursday and passed the first and third counts. .The
second count charged that McCarthy "intemperately abused Brig.
Gen. Ralph W. Zwicker. , ... 'nAarnnM
The first count of the censure committee's resolution condemned
McCarthy for abusing the Senate Election Subcommittee and obstruct,
ing its work. The third count reprimanded McCarthy for his attacks
on the Watkins committee after it filed its report with the Senate. .
McCarthy was unsurprised and outwardly undismayed by the first
official rebuke of its kind handed out by the Senate in 26 years.
President Advises Against China Blockade
The United States must not let me uoimiuiu..
lmpulsive actions that might lead to war, President Eisenhower said
in a news conference Thursday concerning the possible measures lor
obtaining release for 13 Americans convicted by the Chinese Reds as
"spies."
The President stressed what he called the need for this country
to steer a careful course. He said that in his opinion a blockade of
Red China would be an act of war. n
By that statement Eisenhower backed up Secretary of State Dulles
and differed with such Republican senators as Knowland of California,
the Republican leader; McCarthy of Wisconsin and Jenner of Indiana.
Those lawmaKers have called for blockade of Red China.
In dealing specifically with the imprisonment of the 13 Americans,
the President put the issue squarely up to the United Nations.
Pope Suffers Serious Heart Attack
Pope Pius XII was jdescribed as in grave condition Thursday after
uffering complications Thursday night after a serious heart collapse.

New rules for the inter-fraternity
Ivy Day Sing have been formed
by the Kosmet Klub, sponsors of

rules and the question of whether
or not they were fair to all groups
concerned. '

members of the Interfraternity
Council are eligible to enter and
compete for prizes. This is the

Medics Eligible
In addition, all fraternities at
the College of Medicine on the
Omaha campus will be allowed to
enter and will be eligible for any
prize. Last year two of the medical
fraternities entered, one of them
winning first prize.
This spring each singing group
can have between 15 and 25 men.
These minimum and maximum
numbers were set, said Al Ander
son, Kosmet Klub president, to
allow groups of all sizes to com
pete fairly and to increase the
quality of the contest by allowing
each fraternity to work with a
smaller group and perfect a song.
Fraternity Songs
Contrary to previous years when
any type of song was permissable,
only fraternity songs will be al

He was one of eight national

After the Nov. 26 skirmish with
the' University of Hawaii the Ne
braska gridiron contingent spent
four days basking in the sun and
frolicking on the white Hawaiin
beaches.
' "It was a tremendous trip,
said Bill Orwig, director of athlet

have been on many football trips
with many teams, and this was
the finest trip a football team
ever took," he said.
Waikiki Beach
Orwig elaborated on the won
derful hospitality shown by the
Hawaiians to the players and Uni
versity officials making the trip.
He said the stay in the Islands
was a fine vacation for the play
ers and an excellent opportunity
for relaxation.
The team stayed at the Edge
water Hotel, one-half block from
famous Waikiki Beach. The easy
access to many square miles of
blue Pacific and the hotel pool
prompted most of the party to
spend much of the time after the
game in the water. .
Meanwhile, snow fell in western
Nebraska and an unknown fresh''
man wrote frantically home for
an extra blanket.
Surf-board riding was tackled
eagerly by many of the party.
