He said under our electoral college system, giving the right to vote in national proce dures would not be feasible at the present time; however, he stated he was in favor of the city's hav ing its own municipal government rather than being run by Congress. He also said he was in favor of the Lodge-Gossett amendment pro viding for proportional distribution of electoral votes in the states in ratio to the popular vote. He felt this system would be more "dem ocratic." Queried on voting for state tax es on lands taken over by the federal government, Knowland said the states have a right to com pensation of the taxable land area which . was lost. Asked whether he felt the re lease of the 11 U.

Knowland (R Calif.) elaborated on his statement on the 1954 censure of Sen. JoT seph McCarthy (R-Wis.) in an in terview after' his speech. He was one of the 21 senators to vote against the-censure, and said he did so because he felt the awak ening McCarthy caused among the American populace as to the dan gers jof infiltration by such men as Alger Hiss and Irving Peress was good, although he would hot endorse the McCarthy "proce dures."

S. supervision as it was of corrup tion by Chiang or his subordinates. Questioned on statehood for Al aska and Hawaii, Knowland said he was in favor of statehood for both, but felt there was stronger supporting evidence on the side of Hawaiian statehood due to histor ical, economic and political fac tors.

(Henley Photo) Bid ay 1955 Coed ociay Rushing t After this morning's decision the new coeds might as well re lax, for their role of smiling rush ee' is practically over. Soon rush will be a vague memory of rain, a hurricane, faces and white teeth, Russian tea, clever songs and shows, a short girl from Ahoskie, a girl you asked the same ques tion twice and a mumble of ma jors and lovely Marys. A very important procedure comes this morning, Nan Brown, president of the Stray Greeks, ex plains. At this time rushees go to room 104 C, the dean of women's office, in South Building. There she signs a preferential sheet, listing the sororities in order of her prefer ence. A girl should not list, under any circumstances, a sorority she does not want to join.

University Library Almost Overflowing' By NANCY LINK Who says the Library isn't be ing used? Figures prove hun dreds of assignments arc being read there daily. O. V. Cook, associate librarian, terms the situation "gratifying." "We seem much busier this year, almost overflowing. It is gratifying to notice how re sources are being used," he said. Probably the most active place in the library is the reference room, where approximately 1,200 freshmen have been given lec tures and library examinations. "Student use has started out rather briskly," reported Geor gia Faison, who is in charge of freshman tests. Screening tests were given to those who felt they had enough experience. Of the 397 who took the first test, , 233 passed. Fuzzy or con fused answers were counted wrong, Miss Faison said, s In the Reserve Reading Room the number of two-hour books checked out from the desk has increased daily. On Friday, Sept. 16? there were 74 checked, out. On Thursday, Sept. 22, the num ber shot up to 306. Across the marble hall in the General College Reading Room, Jim Harrelson, a student assist ant, said "Thd room is just not large enough for the number, of people. Since the state has cut appropriations, the Library is only able to employ one librarian, and four student assistants, as compared with six students as sistants last 'year." From 750 to 500 books leave the desk daily. Oliver Orr,' 1 assistant head of the Circulation Dept., reported 1,928 books were checked out during the first week of school last year as compared with 1.9S6 last week. He said that since most freshmen have not yet started to use the books in the stacks, circulation will soon increase. The Rare Book Room has had a "fair number to return" since orientation tours, said Lawrence F. London. This room, used primarily by faculty and gradu ates, has been visited more than ever before for the first 10 days of school, he said.
