A Phi 0 Campaign In its April issue, FrOth listed its choices of the "flops of the year." The editors, howeVer, overlooked one effort which obiiously fits into the category—Alpha Phi Omega's. "Keep Off The Grass" campaign. The national service or ganization began with a noble attempt to prd tect the suffering comeliness of the campus. They ended by detracting from, rather than enhancing the beauty which they sought to preserve. The object of the campaign, evidently, was to remind students to keep off the grass by erecting signs to that effect at strategic points about the campus. The success or failure of this project is not the point under consideration. The important thing is that the signs were erected and forgotten, and that was the extent of the campaign. There were few other attempts made to carry out the project, and the signs which were erected to remind students to pre serve the appearance of the lawns have been allowed to deteriorate and become eyesores to the spots where they stand. It is difficult to see the service rendered by Alpha Phi Omega in this campaign. Before an organization launches such a project it should weigh the anticipated value of such an effort against the possibility of harm,it might do.

Roosevelt adminis tration. The key proviso of the amend ment would permanently fix the number of justices on the U.S. Supreme Court at nine. The size of the court, now determined by law but not by the Constitution, has been changed a number of times in the course of history. The proposed amendment would also require all federal judges to retire' at 75. The oldest member of the Supreme Court now is Jus tice Felix Frankfurter, who is 71. Before final passage, the Sen ate knocked out a provision which would have barred justices from resigning to run for president. The Senate-approved measure now goes to the House.

Stevens telephoned a veto today— while at home"watching the pro ceedings on television—and so a last-ditch Republican move to cut short the McCarthy-Army public hearings was defeated, 4-3. In the stormy aftermath of a Stormy day devoted entirely to argument over cut-it-short pro posals, Senate investigators agreed to vote tomorrow on a strongly backed new move to hold night as well as day sessions. The decisive vote—on a pro posal by• Sen. Everett M. Dirksen (R-Ill) to shorten the public phase of the inquiry—came `after Joseph N. Welch, counsel to the Army side, twice left the hearing room and telephoned the virus-stricken Stevens.
