hind the Senate, the House voted over
ke Hawaii the 50th state. The vote was
the ballots was it, so far as Congress was
concerned—a ringing answer to
Hawaii's half century of pleas and
dreams for a place in the Union.
Joy and jubilation spread in
stantly fr o m Washington to
Honolulu. by way of an open
telephone line.
The statehood bill sailed
through the Senate Wednesday
night, '76-15. Now it goes to
President Eisenhower.
There is no question of Eisen
hower's signing it, or of Hawaii's
accepting its terms.
But as in the case of Alaska
last year, technicalities will take
time. So it may be late July,
possibly October, before Hawaii
becomes a state. Territorial Gov.
William F. Quinn said he is in
clined toward the slower sched
ule but others will press for fast
action.
In the sisterhood of states,
Hawaii will rank 47th in size,
44th in population.
Rhode Island, Delaware and
Connecticut have less area than
Hawaii's 6434 square miles. In
population, the nearly 600,000
total in the island cluster sur
nasses Alaska, Nevada, Wyoming,
Vermont, Delaware and New
Hampshire.
As the roll-call vote in the
House hit the number required
for passage backers of statehood
beamed, exchanged handshakes,
pounded backs.
Micas the hall, in Speaker
Sam Rayburn's office, Guinn
had is , telephone line open to
Acting Gov. Edward Johnston
in the islands. "Sound the si
ll renal" he shouted. "Close, the
'schools, and get going!" •
That was the signal to touch
off-bonfires and fireworks and a
two-day holiday..
Calming down a little, Quinn
added: "Try to keep - the lid on a
little, Ed." •
Seldom has a major bill gone
through Congress with the speed
of the statehood measure. Appar
ently there was no particular ur
gency at the moment. It was just
that the legislative channels were
comparatively clear and both par
ties had promised admission to
Hawaii.
Campus Party's
Chairman Resigns
Glorio Patsy, junior in business
administration from Carlisle, has

Campus party chairman.
Charles Steele, junior in ap
