McCarthy Censure
The American people owe a vote of thanks to the six
senators, members of a special senate committee investigat
ing charges of misconduct made against Senator Joseph Mc
Carthy, for their recommendation—made public Monday—
that the junior senator from Wisconsin be censured.
The big wind out of the Midwest has bullied and misled
us long enough. His wild and unfounded allegations against
fellow citizens, his self-styled “crusade" against Commu
nism, his unseemly conduct as a representative of a great
state have only served to throw the entire senate into
disrespect and hopelessly confuse and divide the American
people
The committee composed of three Republicans and three
Democrats, can be commended for the fair-minded, thought
ful way in which they handled the investigations. Chairman
Arthur V. Watkins, the Utah Republican, early in the hear
ings made it clear that there would be no place in his com
mittee’s meetings for the diversionary tactics so often em
ployed by McCarthy.
Television, which served to make such a spectacle out of
the earlier Arrnv-McCarthy hearings, was not allowed to
interfere with committee proceedings. This, we feel, was
not so much a denial of rights to the press, as it was a recog
nition of the seriousness of the matter under discussion.
There was much fear that the members of the committee
could be intimidated by the power which the junior senator
from Wisconsin has already built around his name. The
report of the committee, unfavorable certainly to the po
litical future of McCarthy, demonstrated that this fear
was unjustified.
The American people can only hope now that the entire
U.S. Senate, to be called into special session Xov. 8 to vote
on the committee’s report, will approach the issue with the
same open-minded impartiality of the six-man committee
which has just finished its hearings. We have a right to
expect non-partisanship in a question so vital to the future
direction of American politics.
It's a Tradition
A campus tradition has been neglected, and numerous
freshmen are in momentary danger of drowning. They haven’t
been warned of the impending disaster that faces us all.
That tradition, that danger is the physical plant’s monster
sprinklers. Freshmen have never been warned of the hazard,
and we’ve watched them bravely set forth in their new white
bucks and curled hair only to be turned back by the twirling
^sprinklers.
The Emerald annually runs an editorial complaining
about the sprinklers. This does no good, but it’s a tradition.
This is not an editorial of complaint (that will come next
, spring)- This is just a warning.
Never trust a sprinkler, freshmen. They do weird things.
Now, please excuse us—we have to go put on some dry
clothes.—(J.W.)
