Council Issue
Gets Approval
Murchison Measure
Passes by 14-10
An amendment to strike out
the article in the proposed stu
dent constitution which guar
antees the right of every student
brought before the Student
Council to face his accuser was
passed by a 14-10 vote in the
Student Legislature last night.
After a move by Doug Hunt
to reconsider the amendment
was thrown out by a ruling by
chairman Charles iFulton that
the second for such a move must
be seconded by someone on the
majority side, the legislature
voted 14-11 to overrule the chair
and consider the move for re
considering the amendment.
Time precluded further dis
cussion on the proposal and con
sideration will be continued to
night at 8:30 p. m. in the Phi
hall on the top floor of New East.
Hunt, in making his motion
for reconsideration of the
amendment said that he was
"astonished that the legislature
should allow something as fun
damental as this to go out the
door" and that he "couldn't help
but mark the stupidity of the
people on the opposite."
Speaking in favor of the
amendment were Charles Vance,
student body president, Fran
Golden, incoming president of
WGA, and Fran Bleight, outgo
ing president of WGA, who

UNITED PRESS
Royall Says
Draft Foes
'Unreasoning'
Characterizing the standpoint
opposing draft extension as an
"escapist attitude," Under Secre
tary of War Kenneth C. Royall
said last night, "it is this attitude
which is aligning against draft
extension critics who in many in
stances attack with unreasoning
and sometimes inaccurate stater
ments."
In his speech, sponsored by the
University Veterans Association,
Royall asserted that the environ
ment to which a selectee is sub
jected throughout his armed ser
vice is better than he might en
counter in civilian life. He cited
figures showing that education
al programs in the army during
the war had driven illiteracy in
the United States to a point low
er than before the war, and that
crime and immorality figures in
civilian life far outshadowed
those in the service.
Mr. Royall stated that his con
viction that draft continuation
was needed had been strength
ened by a recent tour of war the
atres. The world, he said, is far
from settled and a new confla
gration would not be hard to
start.
He said : "I wish to emphasize
the real reason for continuing Se
lective Service is because we need
it for the defense of our coun
try." See ROYALL, page U
his new band retains all of its
old flavor, plus the new ideas
that he picked up during the
war, playing for such critical
audiences as the Army, Navy,
and Marine Corps.
Among Thornhill's many hits,
it is believed that "Snowfall"
brings out the ultimate in his
ability. Claude is both the com
poser and arranger of that
melody. He is also featured on
the piano in "Snowfall."
Thornhill's band will play at
a closed dance on Friday night,
a concert on Saturday after
noon, and an open dance on Sat
urday night.
