Joseph McCarthy's political conduct when it entered a• 67 to 20 vote of censure of him yesterday. Senate con demned McCarthy for refusing to cooperate with a Senate elections subcommittee which in vestigated his finances in 1951-1952, and for using allegedly rough tactics and abusing sub committee members and his colleagues. Censure is an official reprimand and the greatest dishonor excluding impeachment which can be handed a public official. McCarthy is the first member to get a Senate censure since Hiram Bingham, Republican Senator from Con necticut, was reprimanded in 1929 for admitting a lobbyist to closed tariff hearings. Yesterday's censure of the Wisconsin junior senator is the fourth such reprimand ever made by the Senate. Democrats in the Senate voted solidly yester day to condemn McCarthy for his attitude toward the subcommittee two years ago. How ever the breach in the Republican faction of the Senate was widened considerably when majority party leader Knowland dealt the Eisenhower-Republicans a heavy blow and voted against censure. Until yesterday after noon, Senate was uncertain about the stand Knowland would take. Knowland was one of the first Republicans to denounce McCarthy on the Senate floor in March 1953; he said he had reached his decision to oppose censure yesterday only after "prayerful consideration." According to yesterday's New York Times, Safety Valve— On 'Red' Propaganda TO THE EDITOR: It seems some of our stu dents are still trying to laugh off the problem of Communist propaganda efforts in our uni versities. Columnist George Sokoisky was the man who got the "business" this time—for trying to point out how clever the Communists are in their propaganda programs. Apparently they are a little more clever than some of our classmates. Students seem to think the Communists are a bunch of funny looking characters with foreign accents who run around trying to sell us the Communist line. Of course, we will recognize it right-away for it in itself is so ridiculous we will just laugh and walk away. Not quite. They are a little more intelligent than ' that. The amazing thing is most of us would not recognize the Communist line if we did hear it. "Full academic freedom for students and teachers"—that does not sound communistic. "Repeal the Smith Adt, the McCarren Act, and the. Taft-Hartley Act"—that does not sound "pink" either. However, these and a score of other similar items, as pointed out by Mr. Sokolsky, are all a part of their program. These are not basic Communist doctrines, naturally, but they are efforts toward which Communists strive because they indirectly aid the Communist program to undermine us by dividing us among ourselves. This is. particularly true on the questions of labor-management rela tions, academic freedom, and racial and religious discrimination—lines along which many Ameri cans are already sharply and bitterly divided. What forces are there on our campuses to combat subversive influence? You may be sure that this influence is there. Actually, we have not seen any organizations which are going "gung-ho" to prevent the spreading of Com munist propaganda. There are very few chap ters of the Students for America, a Communist fighting group. The students are too nonchalant to take any action, and the professors are too worried about losing their "academic freedom," something which is not and has never been in danger. So, nothing is done. We laugh it off. We think there is no subversive influence because we have not seen any. What we do not realise is this type, of propaganda is subtle. It does not stare one in the face. No, we do not fight subversion, but' a lot of our students do devote Eatill .:ratty giatt be THE FUZE LANCIL get. 1887 THE DAILY. COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PE FRANZ CRESSMAN. Busianess M. "not in the recent memory of Senate observers had a party leader ever broken publicly with his President . . . on such a party controversy as is involved between President Eisenhower and Senator McCarthy." McCarthy himself seems unabashed by the censure. According to him, the Senate has "dis graced" itself rather than him. When asked if he intended to conduct himself differently, n light of the censure proceedings, McCarthyt said he intended to continue his fight against communism in "roughly •the same way." There's little doubt what effect the censure will have on McCarthy's news "limelight." The image of a "fierce fighter against communism" that he has created for himself has kept the junior senator in the news for four years. Any submissiveness on his part, which would land him on the inside pages of the press, would no doubt be more than he could take. And since he says he doesn't intend to change his tactics, McCarthy will probably headline many news stories before his current term ends in 1958. What the censure will do to McCarthy's na tional prestige is more debateable. He has almost half the Republican faction of the Sen ate behind him, but the Democrats will be running Congress for the next two years, and as Associated Press correspondent James Marlow puts it, "The Democrats have no reason to loVe him." A Dollar Is Cheap Campus Chest comes to a close today with the $7OOO goal yet to be reached. The charity drive once again makes its an nual plea for the nearly 12,000 students and also interested staff members at the University to reach- down into their pockets for not more than a dollar. This dollar is then to be distri buted to those less fortunate than we. One hates to appeal to the readers' sympathy in a case such as this but, if no other act will call forth a dollar, this must do. Think of those who have sacrificed more than a dollar •and remember 'those who have been helped by a dollar. Students, you willingly, dipped into your pockets for over $5OO two Years ago to buy a new suit for the Nittany Lion. You have been paying $7.50 a semester fo ithe new student union building for several years and are only going to begin enjoying the fruits of your money during the coming semester. These investments were good and they were made with little complaint by the student body. Campus Chest, too, is a good investment and should be greeted with an enthusiasm by the students that would top the $7OOO goal by a commendable amount. Students at the University are often thought of as slow to take up projects of the type of Campus Chest. Nevertheless, they have never let a good cause down. They have met their obligations in the end and often topped ex pectations. Many people are counting on you, the stu dents, to help them continue their work and the recipients of the services of the groups aided by chest are also counting on you. You won't let them down.

Immediately we thought that nothing would be a finer anni versary present to this .group than to allow it the permanent use of the TUB. We also discovered that it was the late Prof. Arthur C. Cloetingh who was primarily responsible for organizing and founding Players. In honor of Mr. C., we thought that nothing would be a finer memorial to this man than to allow Players' permanent use of the TUB. When Penn State hired Arthur Cloetingh as an instructor in Eng lish in 1919, it was understood that he would have the opportun ity to "develop a program of dra matics" on campus. Besides cre ating a group to produce legiti mate plays, Mr.. C. created the division of dramatics as a sepa rate teaching unit of the Univer sity and gave it not only a cur riculum and a faculty but also obtained the building that is now Schwab Auditorium for its t•se. From the first program of "Dawn," "Spreading the News," and "The Woiider Hat" in 1920 to "Cradle Song" in 1940, Prof. Cloetingh regularly directed and supervised plays; 'but after the war, administrative.duties took up so much of his time that only oc- Icasionally was he able to directly work with •Players. Certainly no other man , has done more to -give dramatics at Penn State the prominent AA tional position it now holds. Be fore his death Mr. C. was .trying to obtain the TUB_ for Players as a place for the group to pre sent its arena productions. If FRIDAY.
