WHAT IS SGC?
Official Sanction
Feature of Plan
(EDITOR'S NOTE: The following is the last in a series of interpretive
articles dealing with the origin, purpose and structure of the proposed Stu-
dent Government Council, which will be submitted for student opinion in
a referendum Dec. 8 and 9.)
By GENE HARTWIG.
Daily Managing Editor
T HAT STUDENT Government Council would have official University
sanction is one statement frequently made about the plan current-
ly under discussion.
What does this mean and what would be its significance in the
future operation of SGC? Varying opinions have been expressed but
for an official answer it is necessary to look at the preamble of the
SGC proposal.
The heart of the explanation lies in the statement, "the Regents,
by State constitutional mandate, are charged with responsibilities of
management of all affairs of the University, and cannot delegate those
responsibilities without also holding the right to appraise, modify, or
suspend said delegations and acts of their agents'"
Agent of Regents
If approved by the campus in the Dec. 8-9 elections and subse-
quently by the Regents at their Dec. 17 meeting, Student Government
Council would become an "agent" of the Regents with a delegation
of authority over certain areas of student activity.
Such a delegation would in effect back up an SGC decision with
the force of University authority.
This differs from the present Student Legislature whose authori-
ty is derived from its constitution, approved by the campus and Stu-
dent Affairs Committee. SL holds no direct delegation of authority
from the Regents.!
Official Delegation
According to the preamble of the SGC plan such delegation would
provide an "official form of student government on the campus . .
(which) should adequately reflect student opinion and be properly
integrated with other agencies on the campus."
Under the present set-up Student Affairs Committee has dele-
gated to it authority from the Regents for regulation of student ac-
tivities. SAC, however, is not a body set up to represent student opin-
ion, a function that would be filled by SGC.
SL on the other hand is organized to represent student opinion
but lacks official recognition of that role by the Board of Regents.
The SGC plan would combine in the hands of one officially rec-
ognized student government functions of regulating student activitiesi
as well as representing student opinion to the administration and
Regents.
Service Projects
Another often asked question about SGC is, who will handle the
service projects now carried out by Student Legislature since SGC
would only have a membership of 18.

"I wouldn't say it was a vote

Sign Treaty
WASHINGTON A) - United
States and Nationalist China yes-
terday signed a mutual security
treaty in which the United States
pledged that it would consider
an attack on Formosa "dangerous
to its own peace and safety."
The pact, which will last indef-
initely, was signed by Secretary
of State John Foster Dulles for
the United States and by Foreign
Minister George Yeh of the Re-
Mutual Defense Agreement
The key position in the text,
iwhich the State Department re-
leased after it was signed, says:
"Each party recognizes that an
armed attack in the west Pacific
area directed against the terri-
tory of either of the parties would
be dangerous to its own peace and
safety and declares it would act
to meet the common danger in ac-
cordance with its constitutional
processes."
Dulles said Wednesday .that in
the case of extreme urgency he
thought the President would have
the power to order United States
forces into action if Red China
attacks Formosa after the treaty
becomes effective, but if time per-
mitted the President would go to
Congress."
Includes Formosa, Pescadores
The treaty made clear that the
reference to territories covered
Formosa and the nearby Pesca-
dore Islands and United States-
ruled islands in the Western Pa-
cific.
One of the key provisions
I pledges that the two governments
"will consult together from tipe
to time" -on defense problems. \
The United States has been at-
tempting to discourage National-
ist China from attacking the Com-
munist-held mainland. A purpose
of the treaty is to help stabilize
the Formosa region.

Vote Majority
WASHINGTON (N-- The Senate
officially condemned the conduct
of Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy (R-
Wis ) .on two counts yesterday by
a 67-22 vote, but refused to cen-
sure him for a "denunciation" of
Brig. Gen. Ralph' W. Zwicker.
All the 22 votes against the reso-
lution were from Republicans.
Twenty-two Republicans voted for
it, along with 44 Democrats and
the Senate's lone independent, Sen.
Wayne Morse of Oregon.

Four Week Session
In a tense, hushed finale to
months of blazing controversy, the
Senate completed its sole. major
item of business at a four-week ex-
traordinary session by declaring:
1. The Wisconsin Republican's
failure to help a 1951-52 investi-
gating subcommittee and his
"abuse" of the group's members,'
are "condemned" on the ground
they obstructed "the constitutional.
processes of the Senate."
2. Sen. McCarthy's "Communist
handmaiden" and other charges
against the Watkins committee,
which recommended censure for
him, likewise are "hereby con-
demned."
But another count ---abuse of
Gen. Zwicker when he testified be-
fore McCarthy's committee on the
Maj. Irving Peress case - never
even came to a vote.
Mixed Reaction
Early yesterday several influen-
tial senators-among them Sen.
Leverett Saltonstall (R - Mass.),
chairman of the Armed Services
Committee-made it plain they
didn't necessarily endorse McCar-
thy's language, but at the same
time took a severe view of the
Army's attitude in the case too.
By a 64-23 margin, the Senate
voted to rebuke Sen. McCarthy for
his blasts at the Watkins commit-
tee instead.
Sen. McCarthy, his injured arm
in a sling, came into the Senate
chamber when the final vote was
in progress. He paused at the cen-
ter rear door, then walked slowly
behind the last row of seats on the
Republican sidehjust as the man
who started the censure move,
Sen. Ralph Flanders (R-Vt.), sang
out a firm "aye."
Flanders and McCarthy
Grinning, Sen. McCarthy laid a
hand on Sen. Flanders' shoulder
with a sort of let-bygones-be-by-
gones air.
Sen. Flanders looked up, shook
a forefinger at Sen. McCarthy and,
his expression unsmiling, said
something inaudible to the galler-
ies.
Sen. McCarthy took his seat then,
voted "present" rather than "aye"
or "no" when his name was called,
and was deep in a conversation
with Sen. Homer Ferguson (R-
Mich.), when the final tally was
announced. Sen. McCarthy didn't
even look up.
"Circus Over"
Later he told newsmen he was
"very happy to get this circus
over."
"I don't feel any different than
I did last night," he said. He had
referred to the senate proceedings
then as "a foul job."
After rebuking one of its own
members for the fourth time in
American history, the Senate ad-
journed sine die, in this case un-
til Jan, 5.
