BERMUDA TRANSPORTED-Despite male taboos, many campus

Nothing can stop a Michigan State College coed from wearing
her Bermuda shorts.
Action taken earlier this week by the MSC Association of Women
Students lifted a previous ban against the controversial above-the-knee
length sportwear. "This was done," the group explained, "to keep up
with the trend."

Southerners
Voice Protest
of Measure
Charge States'
Rights Invaded
WASHINGTON - (P) - Pres-
dent Eisenhower's proposed con-
stitutional amendment to lower
the voting age to 18 was killed by
the Senate yesterday.
After sharp debate, in which
Southern senators charged the
amendment would be an invasion
of states' rights, the measure lost
on a 34-24 vote.
While 34 senators supported the
proposal, their number was far
short of the two-thirds majority
of those present and voting, which
is required for approval of a con-
stitutional amendment.
' Action Buries Issue
The Senate action :appeared to
bury the issue for this session of
Congress, even though a similar
measure is pending in the House.
Eisenhower recommended the
change in his State of the Union
message to Congress last January.
In all states except Georgia,
where 18-year-olds may vote, the'
legal age is 21.
Twenty-seven Republicans and
seven Northern Democrats voted
for the amendment.'
Southerners Opposed
Twenty-four Democrats lined up
against it, however. Most of them
were Southerners.
Signs of Southern bitterness
against the Supreme Court for
outlawing school segregation crop-
ped up in connection with the
Senate decision.
After the vote, Sen. Russell (D-
Ga.), a foe of the proposal told the
Senate he was "very grateful" to
the Administration for submitting
it in the form of a Constitutional
amendment.
He pointed out that yesterday's
Senate vote would have passed it if
it had been offered as simple legis-
lation.
Senator Critical
The Georgia senator has been
highly critical of last Monday's
court decision holding that segre-
gation of white and Negro pupils
in the nation's schools is unconsti-
tutional.
Sen. Langer (R-ND), chairman
of the Senate Judiciary Committee,
led the fight for the Constitutional
amendment yesterday, telling the
Senate that if 18-year-olds have
to fight for their ocuntry they
should have a voice in how it is
governed.
'Meaningful
Sex Relations
Require God'
In his discussion of the relation-
ship between Christianity and sex
last night at Canterbury House,
the Rev. Wilbur Schutze, assist-
ant rector of St. Andrew's Episco-
pal Church, emphasized that,
"Christianity is essential to mean-
ingful sex relationships."
"In the pagan world," he con-
tinued, "sex is raw and uninhib-
ited, but to use a person without
regard to his or her feelings is to
flout God's will."
Teaching children that all sex is
wrong by nature can do as much
damage to them as indulging in
promiscuous actions, the Ann Ar-
bor minister informed members of
the Canterbury Club in their an-
nual spring lecture series.
Rev. Schutze advised that the
exact relationship between couples
during the courtship period should
be decided between them, basing
their decision on their own stan-
dards. "However, I do believe," he
added, "that pre-marital inter-
course does great harm to the per-
sons involved."
