To Gripe
Is Defended
WASHINGTON, Feb. 17
(TP) The American GI's tradi

fended in Congress today. .
It came up when a House
Armed Service subcommittee
mulled over a bill to establish
a uniform code of military jus
tice. The, measure has already
passed the House, but the
Senate made some changes in
it.
As approved by the House, ,
one section provides that any
officer or enlisted man who
uses 'contemptuous language
or disrespectful words" "against
the President, Congress, Sec
retary of Defense or state gov
ernor shall be liable to court
martial. .
The Senate said it was all
right to provide the penalty
for officers but not for GI's.
The Senate also blue-pencilled
the phrase "or disrespectful
words."
On the House side today, the
subcommittee agreed o accept
the Senate's changes.

the seven dormitory Legisla
ture districts.
In their joint statement, Van
Noppen and Mitchell asserted'
that "an apathy toward stu--dent
government has devel
oped among the great mass
of the student, body," and that,
this situation had developed
"because student government
has not been close enough to
the individual student."
Both agreed that they would,
in the campaign, try to pre
sent issues that have an im
portant bearing on the individ
ual student.
The candidates also re-as-scrted
their support of a raise
in the undergraduate block fee
to $5.50 per quarter and a
raise in the graduate fee to r

Roth announced further the

Any student living in a

lasted 12 days. Of that figure,
$3,181 was in cash, with $2,004

with fraternities accounting for
$1050.41. Women living in dorm

sororities gave $134.60. Towns
people, town students, contribu
tions in the Y and miscellaneous
sources netted $592.37. The fa
culty gave $154.50.
The greatest amount contrib
uted by any one organization
was $309.84, given by C dorm,
while the greatest average con
tribution came from Pi Lambda
Phi, which gave $3.65 for each
man.
The greatest average contri
bution from a woman's dormitory
was the $3.07 given by Smith
girls. Pi Beta Phi sorority gave
an average of $2.83 per girls, and
vlangum Dormitory gave $2.37
each.
Every girl in Smith, which also
had the second highest average
contribution, gave to the drive.
Also giving 100 per cent was all
sororities except Alpha Delta Pi,
and 15 fraternities. In the men's
dorms, Old East had the greatest
number of contributors, with 90
per cent. Mangum and Old West
