WHAT
IS SGC?
Starts Davis
Fund Drive-
Hopes To Raise
Equal of Salary
By JIM DYGERT
A committee of Literary Colleg
faculty members has drawn up
letter requesting contributions t
a fund for dismissed mathematic
instructor H. Chandler Davis.
To be sent to all members c
the Literary College faculty, th
letter has already been signed b
between 75 and 100 faculty mem
bers as sponsors of thedrive.
Prof. Raoul Bott of the mathe
matics department, who says he i
"sort of in charge" of the commit
tee, reported the group hopes t
raise a sum comparable to th
$5,000 salary Davis would hav
received if his appointment ha
been continued. Davis is at pres
ent unemployed.
Prof. Bott added that contribu
tions may be sent to the Emer
gency Fund Committee for H. C
Davis, Rm. 3006, Angell Hall.
Copi, Hough, Samelson
Other members of the commit
tee are Professors Irving M. Cor
of the philosophy departmen
Paul V. C. Hough of the physic
department and Hans Samelson o
the mathematics department.
Upon learning of the commit
tee's plans, Davis said, "My feel
ings about the plan are mixed.
"Naturally I'm gratified at th
committee's concern," he added
But Davis continued that "th
responsibility for my unemploy
ment is the Regents', not my col
leagues'. It is the Regents who ow
me severance pay."
The University Board pf Re
gents issued a statement at it;
Nov. 12 meeting that "the circum
stances do not warrant severanci
pay".
Letter Asks Pay
Having been circulated throug
various Literary College depart-
ments for signatures of sponsors
the committte's letter calls atten
tion to the Literary College facult
resolution recommending sever-
ance pay for Davis.
The resolution was presented t
the Regents at their Novembe
meeting.
A few copies of the letter have
not yet been returned to the com
mittee, so that a final total of
sponsors is not yet available.
The committee has indicate
that its purpose in collecting the
money is to provide support fo
Davis' wife and family.
No 'Appropriateness' Stand
Prof. Copi pointed out the com-
mittee is taking no stand on the
appropriateness or inappropriate-
ness of the dismissal.
Davis was dismissed by the Re-
gents in August for refusing to
answer questions by a House Un-
American Activities Subcommittee.
Davis was subsequently indicted
for contempt of Congress. -He is
now fighting the case in the Fed-
eral District Court in Grand Rap-

Paint Quarters
Sought by CSP
"We're still looking for a place
to hold our painting party," Leah
Marks, '55L, chairman of the Com-
mon Sense Party, announced yes-
terday.
"Although we originally sched-
uled the party at Stockwell, we
have since learned that only
groups living in the residence hall
may hold gatherings such as ours
there without the approval of the
Board of Governors of Residence
Halls,"
Because of a lack of funds, the
CSP intends to paint campaign
posters at the party,
"The meeting is still planned for
Friday at 7 p.m., and we would
be grateful for any offers of a
place to hold it," Miss Marks con-
tinued. "We are also investigating
the possibilities of using some oth-
er University facilities."

More than a year of meetings, hearings and debate has gone
into the four typed pages that today make up the Student Government
Council proposal.
What is SGC? It is a plan for student government designed

student-faculty-administration Board in Review.
If the plan is approved by the campus in the Dec. 8-9 elections F vor
and receives Regents' approval at their Dec. 17 meeting, SGC would

ground.
Typical of the snowball fights was a brief one waged near
Angell Hall by Keith Olson, '56, and local high school student
Jackie Jaques. It ended with Miss Jaques the victor.
But the Willow Run government weather bureau forecaster
said yesterday such snowball battles won't be possible today. Snow,
he said, will probably not fall today, although temperatures will

Two Other
Counts,Wait
Final Action
Senators Decide
Move by 67-20
WASHINGTON (P)-By a 67-20
vote the Senate yesterday con-
demned the conduct of Sen. Joseph
R. McCarthy (R-Wis.) on the first
of three censure charges against
him and cleared the way for final
action on two other counts today.
The action amounted to a vote
of guilty on the charge Sen. Mc-
Carthy obstructed the Senate and
acted contrary to its traditions in
failing to help a subcommittee
which investigated him in 1951
and 1952, and in "abusing" the
group's members.
Sen. McCarthy did not vote on
the censure resolution but de-
nounced it as "a foul job" and said
the American people know "I am
being censured because I dared to
do the 'dishonorable' thing of ex-
posing Communists in govern-
ment."
Charges Forgery
The Wisconsin Republican also
got a wholly new investigation
started by charging that forgery
and suppression of evidence have
been used against him.
In an outgrowth of this charge,
Sen. William Knowland of Cali-
fornia, the Republican leader,
named a special committee to look
into the alleged checking of sena-
tors' incoming mail by unauthor-
ized persons.
All Democrats present and 23
Republicans joined in voting to
"condemn" Sen. McCarthy's be-
havior toward the Hennings-Hay-
den - Hendrickson subcommittee
which investigated his financial
and other affairs in 1951 and
1952.
Sen. Knowland and 19 other Re-
publicans backed Sen. McCarthy.
The vote came after a series of at-
tempts to spare the Wisconsin sen-
ator from censure were defeated
by similar lopsided margins.
Other Charges Told
Still to be disposed of are charg-
es that Sen. McCarthy:
1. Abused Brig Gen. Ralph W.
Zwicker when the general appear-
ed as a witness before McCarthy's
Permanent Investigations sub-
committee. He's likely to get more
than 20 votes on that count.
2. Abused the Watkins commit-
tee which recommended he be
censured on the two other counts.
Sen. McCarthy has called the com-
mittee an "unwitting handmaiden
of the Communist party."
Dulles Sees
Possible Red
China Block
WASHINGTON IAP-Scretary of
State John Foster Dulles said yes-
terday the United States might
blockade Red China if peaceful
means fail to protect the rights of
13 Americans jailed by Peiping on
spy charges.
He said he was confident, but
not certain, that peaceful means
would be sufficient.
Dulles made the statement dur-
ing a news conference which he
opened by announcing agreement
with Nationalist China on a mutual
defense treaty pledging the United
States to retaliate, probably against,
the Communist-held China main-
land, if the Reds attack the Na-
tionalist stronghold of Formosa.
"Security Link"
The treaty, Dulles said, would
be signed sometime this week. He
said it is "another link in the sys-
tion only rule on alleged questionable decisions of the council.
One innovation in the SGC plan involves the inclusion of anj
administrative secretary appointed by the Student Affairs Vice-Presi-
dent who would record proceedings of the Council but have no vote.
An important part of the SGC proposal, included as an addendum
item in the plan, is the recommendation that a student tax be as-
sessed on a semester basis as a means of financing student govern-
ment.
The campus has al'eady approved a proposed 25 cent per semes-
ter per student tax in an all-campus referendum last year.
Civil Liberties Group To Hear
Seven Discuss Loyalty Cases
Seven "defenders of the First Amendment" will discuss salient
points in their individual cases of refusing to answer questions by Con-
gressional committees investigating Communism at a meeting of the
Emergency Civil Liberties Committee in New York City, December 15.
Included in the group is H. Chandler Davis, former University
mathematics instructor who was dismissed from the faculty by the
Regents in August. He refused to tell a House subcommittee his po-
litical beliefs and affiliations.
The dinner is being held to celebrate the 163rd anniversary of
the Bill of Rights. In addition to Davis, Corliss Lamont, Columbia
University philosophy lecturer who was indicted in October for con-
tempt of Congress, will speak.
The Emergency Civil Liberties Committee was founded in the sum-
mer of 1953. One of the founders was author Irving F. Stone.
Members of the national council of the ECLU include Dr. Nan-
cy Morse Study Director of the University Survey Research Center.

Zerman blames part of the
plan's failure on lack of alumni
support, necessary for continuity
of such a system.
A five man alumni Board of
Trustees guides the Penn State

Although IFC alumni in a meet-
ing Tuesday were pessimistic
about possibilities of coop buy-
