Today's Weather- Snow :and - Cold VOL. 55, No. 52 Senate Casts 67-20 Vote To Censure McCarthy WASHINGTON, Dec. 1 (iP)—The Senate condemned tonight by a vote of 67-20 the conduct of Sen.. Joseph R. McCarthy on the first of three censure charges against him and cleared the way for final action on two other counts tomorrow. The action amounted to a vote of guilty on the charge McCarthy obstructed the Senate and acted contrary to its traditions in fail ing to, help a subcommittee which investigated him in 1951 and 1952, and.. in "abusing" the group's members. McCarthy did not vote on the censure resolution but denounced it as "a foul job" and said the American people know "I am being censured because I dared to do the 'dishonorable' thing of exposing Communists in govern ment." The Wisconsin Republican also I 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 F. Knowland of California, the Republican leader, named -a special committee to look- into the alleged checking of senators' incoming -mail by un authorized persons.. All the Democrats present and 23 Republicans joined in voting to "condemn" - McCarthy's behavior toward t h e-< Hennings-Hayden- Hendrickson subcommittee, which investigated his financial and oth er affairs in 1951 and .1952. Knowland and 19 other Repub licans backed McCarthy. The vote came after a series of attempts to Ispare the Wisconsin senator from censure were defeated by similar lopsided margins. Still _to. be. disposed of, are charg es that McCarthy: 1. Abused Brig. Gen. Ralph. W. Zwicker when the general ap peared as a witness - before Mc- Carthy's Permanent Investigations subcommittee. 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. McCarthy has called the com mittee an "unwitting handmaid en of the Communist/party." 71 Register To .

The temperature today, which will rise to between 37 and 40,' is slightly higher than yesterday's high of 34.

Breakdown of Foods Dollar Explained By DOTTIE STONE Students pay $1.82 a day for food service. But, where does this money go? In an attempt to get an an swer to this question, the Daily Collegian talked with Kenneth Erfft, associate comptroller, and Robert C. Proffitt, man ager of foods stores and foods buyer. Food service operates under the following major divisions: raw • food, food preparations, service, and maintenance. Out of every dollar paid by a student, over fifty cents is spent on raw food for cooking, Erfft said. He pointed out. that this is an extremely' high 'amount .to be, spent on raw' fo - od, as bet ter- restaurants generally spent about thirty cents of every food dollar. , University. food service :buys FOR A BETTER PENN STATE STATE COLLEGE, PA., THURSDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 2, 1954 No official results were avail= able yesterday on. the poll taken by the Daily Collegian on student suggestions for the name of the post office sub-station which may be established on campus.

At the end of the first day of campaigning last year approxi mately $250 was collected. Last year the goal was to get 100 per cent participation, rather than a specific monetary figure. Students contributed approxi mately $6OOO to the 1953-54 cam paign. Brunner said this year's goal was based on last year's con tributions, taking into considera tion the increased enrollment at the University. Separate Faculty Drive The chest drive last year also included the faculty, Ellsworth Smith, general chairman, said. This year, their donations will be handled . separately. They will be solicited by members of the Uni versity Christian Association at a later date.

Food service also keeps a staff of eight clerical workers who keep records, and two dietic ians who work the experi mental kitchen testing new recipes and . developing quan tity formulas. Some of this fifty cents must go into the cost of each dining hall for operating steam tables, dish washers, and equipment. A small portion of the food bill goes into maintenance of staff of the food stores build ing. In this building foods like rolls, breads, and desserts are made centrally and sent to in dividual dining halls. All food is stored there and meats are cut and sent out to be pre pared in dining halls. The building; built in 1949, must be paid for by food serv ice.

The probation will go into ef fect Jan. 3 and will continue un til the end of the semester, end ing on Jan. 28, at 5:30 p.m. The probation was recommend ed Nov. 22 by the IFC Board of Control. Ellsworth Smith, chair man of the board, presented the' recommendation to the commit= tee. The charge against Sigma Pi was inviting a man lacking the proper average to live in the house. IFC rules state that pledges must have a 1.0 All-University average or a 1.0 average in the semester preceeding their en trance into the house. A frater nity is not permitted to invite men lacking such an average to live in their house as a guest. Sigma Pi has also been fined $5O for their violation. Fines levied by IFC do not require ac= tion by the Senate committee. Smith said the fraternity presi dents agreed that this rule should be strictly enforced at their IFC workshop meeting. The presidents believed, Smith said, that pledging a man without a 1.0 average was in direct viola tion of the IFC code and was det-; rimental to the fraternity system. Two other fraternities were fined along with Sigma Pi. Theta Xi and Phi Kappa were both fined $25 for violations of the pledging code. Both were fined for pledging men who did not comply with rushing regulations. , Decoration Contest Set for WD Area West Dorm Council will spon sor a Christmas window painting and decorating contest for hous ing units in the West Dormitory area, including Thompson Hall.
