No one was greatly surprised when Eisenhower vetoed the wa ter bill. He had turned down a similar measure and for similar stated reasons in 1956. The bill proposed future con struction of 150 navigation, beach erosion, flood control and power projects all across the country. On April 2 the Senate voted 52-11 to accept a compromise version drafted by a Senate-House com mittee. The House had accepted it by voice vote the day before. It was this compromise which Eisenhower rejected. Since it takes a two-thirds vote! to override a - veto, the Senate! could do it easily—if the voting lineup of April 2 still held. Any attempt to override would come first in the Senate, since the bill originated there. Ginger Oftinger New Name Is Given To Class Night The Senior Class Advisory Board voted last night to change the name of the Baccalaureate and Class Night May 6 to Senior Night. Other suggestions included "Senior Farewell," Senior Convo cation and "Last Night." The new name was generally felt to be more appropriate since the night besides being a "spirit ual send off" includes the presen tation of the class gift, men's and women's honors, valedictory and salutary addresses, th e class prophecy and poem and usually a reception afterward. Thomas Hollander, senior class president, said that Dr. Luther H. Harshbarger, University chap lain, suggested that the class try to obtain the Rev. William G. Ryan from Seaton Hill College to deliver the main address. Last year the speaker was Dr. William Muehl, professor of pra tical theology from Yale Divinity School. Also this year plans are being made to have senior members of the Chapel Choir sing several all faith songs instead of the class singing as a whole as was done last year. Barbara Bollinger, senior in home economics from Honey Brook, was named chairman of a committee to plan Senior Night. Elizabeth Marvin, senior in home economics from Mansfield, resigned as chairman of the sen ior class gift committee. A new chairman will be appointed.
