Following on the heels of her two Columbia record hits, "Hey There" and "This Ole House," "White Christmas," according to advance reports, is a cinch to make Rosie a box-office sensa tion. Rosemary began her profes sional career - as half of the Clooney sister singing team. She and sister Betty sang every thing from hillbilly songs to sophisticated ballads on the "Moon River Show" over WLW in Cincinnati. It was there in 1946 that Tony Pastor heard them and signed them as vocal ists with his band. ROSEMARtY CLOONEY T hree years and countless one night stands later Rosie landed the female vocalist's spot on CBS-TV's "Songs For Sale." This led to a Columbia recording contract andI of course, the un forgettable "Come On-a My House." After "Come On-a's" tremen dous success-it sold more than a million records--Rosie was signed by Paramount Pictures for a supporting role in "The Stars Are Singing." It didn't take the producers long to de cide to give Miss Clooney extra footage and top billing over Anna Marie Alberghetti and [Lauritz Melchior.

Maybank was o an excellent example of this kind of people's representative, and Senator. Thurmond will undoubt o edly continue this traditional - Southern type bf representation. We can now be assured that we ie have a man in the Senate who le will use his vote to express the opinions of the South Carolina farmer, laborer, and business h man, and the general opinion of re the conservative that gradual I- industrialization is a benefit to g the whole state. W To say that South Carolina is went out on a cola, windy day h and took the trouble to write-in a candidate's name in a General !r Election in order to uphold free I elections and political principals le is too mild-the results of this election is a vote against party , power and control, and a vote o for popular sovereignity, in the broad sense of the expression h individual representation based on individual vote. From the beginning of the a returns, up at Thurmond's Head a quarters in the Columbia Hotel, d there was never any serious e doubt that J. Strom Thurmond would be the next United States Senator from South Carolina he never fell below a lead of at least 5,000 votes after the first e precincts were in. The vote, as ;s Veto Poa SUnited Nat n The veto power Tn the Secur ity Council of the United Na tions is one of the things thai sheads the list of United States t- criticism of that organization, is and perhaps it rightly does so, r- for certainly the veto power an seems at times to stall the entire b. effort of the UN, as each major a- nation refuses to cooperate with s the other, or at least as Russia sz and the United States refuse te le compromise: as Russia, in the i- terms of America, and America, I- in the terms of Russia, fails tc see the one just and right solu. i- tion. ci. The veto clause is found in is Article 27 of the Charter of the ;h United Nations, sections 2 and at 3, which read as follows: "2, di Decisions of the Security Council w on procedural matters shall be a- made by an affirmative vote of ie seven members. 3. Decisions of is the Security Council on all other r- matters shall be made by an ls affirmative vote of seven mem if bers including the concurring is votes of the permanent members; at . . ." This last clause gives the r, veto power, as it has come to e be called, to any one of the per a- manent members: China, France, ri Russia, Great Britain and North k ern Ireland, and the United m- States. Under Section 2, how. 's ever, we see that any seven out [a of the eleven members can pass t- a procedural q4estion, but the .n rub comes in the fact that by agreement before the Charter was signed, what constitutes a - procedural matter is a non-pro !" cedural question. Therefore i- there is actually a double-veto, [e since any one of the permanent . members can prevent a questior a from coming under Section 2 iH A it desires to do so. .) And who may we ask took a r- leading role, yes, insisted upon this set-un? Youa gessed. .... it's a sporteoat I You want an t!" I's Election oples' Will it stands now, with less than 100 precincts not reported, is 139,106 for Thurmond and 80,956 for Brown - as Senator Thurmond said to his supporters at Head quarters, the unorganized people have defeated a ruthless and determined organized political machine. It appears to this writer that the statements of some of the leaders of the National Demo cratic Party, with reference to the educational level of the South Carolina voters, will bear some revision in view of the fact that at least 140,000 people in South Carolina can write, as compared to only some 80,000 who can master the mechanics of pushing levers or putting an X in a circle. Although Edgar Brown is still a State Senator from Barnwell County, and will doubtless con tinue to be as long as he choses, it is more than obvious that the people of South Carolina have had enough of being pledged to support the Democratic Party without having any bargaining power in the making of decisions -for the last 20 years, South Carolina has had to support a party that couldn't care less what the people of South Caro lina wanted, because the Brown Bennett machine was, in reality, the electorial vote of this state, and being men of loyality, they were forced to surrender princi pal. wver Stalls tions' Work none other than the United States. Why ? The ' answer is simple: we wanted the power to stop anything we do not like, and do not think for one minute that we still would consent to do without it: if we did, then some Congressional method would be passed to make void any act of the United Nations not suitable to us. It was the fear of being hamstrung by an international organization that kept us out of the League of Nations, and without the veto power, it is doubtful that we would have joined the United Nations. Having had to take the load In world affairs for so long, and certain that we are always correct, we wish to re serve to. ourselves the right of final judgment. Russia, with her opposite Interests also desires that right so we find ourselves constantly caught by a veto, the Security Council stalemated. What Is to be done to solve this problem Is a question too long and Involved to be discussed here, but It might be said that the United Nations can succeed, and will suceed when each na tion, including the United States stop. being so egostical and self centered about the thing. Sure, Russia wants peace, America wants peace, Britain wants peace--everybody wants peace but FIRST, before anything else, including peace, we all want a new hunk of something for ourselves. Self-preservation Is one thing, aggressiveness an other, and It is easy to distin guish between the two. As much as we dislike the ideals, alms and acts of Russia, we must admit that she is not the only one look ing for a new fur coat every now and then. There will be no peace so long as each thinks only of himself, as an individual or as a naian. DEW JAMES~ RushWeek4 It's Apple I Rush Week, they call it; and from what we hear, the name fits . . . rushing to meetings, suppers, forgetting to get punch bowls for teas and to add to the confusion, professors go quiz-happy. We have made this observa tion concerning Rush Week. There must be sorme logical ex planation for these brief bans against would-be sorority women speaking to males, the most high actives, and even roommates, but it escapes us. * * * This is National Apple Week. We learned from a usually reliable source that every school teacher in South Carolina was given an apple a day this week with the compliments of Senator Harry Byrd of Virginia. It is our contention that the 4enator goofed. We think, along with some other watering mouths, that the senator's generosity should have been extended to students (university level) and professors. * * * Playing the leading role in "Fotog Harry," we wandered to one of the less frequented sec tions of the campus the other day. The plaque at the entrance Letters to the Edit Cheerlead To Student Dear Editor: I sincerely hope that you will do me the courtesy of printing this letter. I present it, not as a testimonial or explanation, but a simple answer to a certain Carolina senior who chooses not to dignify his complaints by sign ing his name, but rather to hide behind the protective skirts of simply signing his letter, "A Dis gusted Student." I, sir, choose not to employ this subterfuge, My name is John lItman, my hometown is Charleston, S. C., my campus address is Tenement 26, Room 36, and my phone number is 618. Now that we both have had the fortitude to publish our names, let me continue. Your attack was against, I believe, both the student body and the cheerleaders. I, being a member of both groups, dislike any condemnation of either. Both Like Rankin First of all, you praised Rankin Subet~ very highly for not letting the dignity of her honors and achievements domi nate her school spirit. On this p)oint, I am forced to agree with you, for Rankin is a very won derful person whom I like very much, and a definite asset to this, or any, squad of cheerlead ers. Next, you attack the studeunt body in a manner not becoming a perbon presumed to have the manners and intellect of a col lege senior. After depreciating the remain dier of the student body, you proceed to tell us how much you cheered, how hard you worked for a Carolina victory, and how much your date thought of you for being so noble. I will give you credit for this much, you don't try to claim all the glory. You admit that there was, "One loyal sister in section 10, about row 20," who was also yelling. Now let me ask one question, where were the two of you when the Gamecocks were three touch dlowns behind West Virginia and two successive yells fell flat because not a single voice was raised in response. Maybe you were eating peanuts. Good Seats? Bad Seats? With your permission, let me quote you as you said, "There's just one go.od thing about those cheerleaders--they're assured of a good place to watch the game, and frankly, I think they make good use of it." Well, brother, just as frankly, I don't think we dpo. I understand, from a number of my friends, that the last two minutes of the Carolina-Clemson game were exciting ones. I don't know this for a fact, you under stand, because when you're a towering 5 feet and seven inches, you don't see a lot when the combined strength of the football team, coaches, and assorted visi tors are standing up in front of you. You'll just have to take mnCanpus; Neek, Too says Moore Arboretum. The arboretum covers all but the ex treme north side of the block directly behind Sims Dormit. The main entrance is on Blossom Street. Presently& the area serves as a botanical garden for the university, but we think the plot's personality could be broad ened. We have seen few places that could be more easily converted into an amphitheatre. The lily pond could be filled in and a stage erected, or perhaps even more colorful, erect a stage in the center of the pond. The sloping hillside which forms a bowl around the pond is perfect for the erection of seats. All this can be done without injuring its value as a botanical garden. * 0 * - A learned one among us says that Mark Twain said;" ERry body talks about the weer, but nobody does anything about it;" not Charles D. Warner. In a preceeding column, we attributed the saying to the latter. We don't deny that Mr. Twain said it, but our 35 cents pocket book of quotations sides with us. Sir Warner is supposed to have made the crack In the "Hartford Courant" about 1890, but he may have borrowed it. or or Replies s Criticism back is to the playing field ap proximately 30 per cent of the time, and everybody stands up at the exciting moments, the cheerleaders have the worst seat in the house. Proceeding further, we find your accusation that the chger leaders don't yell enough. I nd this hard to believe, since in the very same space, in the very same newspaper, a week previ ously appeared an editorial by A the managing editor of the Gamecock maintaining that the cheerleaders yell too much. How about it? We lead a yell at every oppor tunity, but its awfully discourag ing to find, midway through, that there are eight voices battling the formidle foe of 20,000 little dead silences. Yes, we practice, and we wel come visitors. Summing Up Now, let me sum up. You sanctimoniously condemned both student body and cheerleaders. You told us that you yelled at football games, and you told us you liked R.ankin Suber and Mackie Prickett. Aside from liking Rankin and Mackie, you said nothing else that made sense. I hope all issues have been cleared up to your satisfaction. If any have not been, I will be glad to continue the discussion at any level, at any time that is convenient. A Satisfied Student .John Altman Collegiate ( Clippings* Boston, Mass. -- (I.P.) - A * partial reorganization of the English department program of the 'College of Liberal Arts at Boston University to develop more carefully integrated course. in composition, communication, and literature for the freshman and sophomore classes will go into effect here this fall. W Freshman composition will deal 'more with language and communications, and the study of the relation of language to meaning and logic through anal ysis of the word, sentence and paragraph. It will not include an introduction to literature in the second semester. A second semester study and application of principles learned first semester to the problem of com prehending and evaluating more complex writing, will replace the introduction to literature. A prerequisite for all advanced courses for non-English majors will be the introduction to litera ture course, or great hooks of the Western World, open to freshmen and sophomores. His tory of English literature will be required for English majors only.
