The Y.D.'s on Nov. 19 passed a resolution urging Congress to terminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities and the Senate Internal Security Commit tee. The resolution stated that the committees "have intruded upon the constitutional rights of free Americans through arrogant and abusive interroWration of their po litical beliefs." Che Vote Passes Passed by a close vote, the reso lution further stated that "the committees' activities are in viola tion of the Bill of Rights and are above the Congressional power of investigation." Introduced by Pres. Todd Wil son, the Senate's resolution recog nized the right of the Y.D.'s to express their opposition to the Congressional Committees, but put the Senate on record "as uphold ing these committees and con - mending the work they are doing for the safety of our nation." Copies of the Senate's action will be sent to U. S. Senators Olin Johnston and Strom Thurmond. Gov. Donald Russell. University Pres. Thomas Jones, the S. C. General Assembly, the Young Democrats, and the University news service. Tickets Debated Approved in other Senate busi ness was Sen. Larry Cline's bill asking that the president appoint a committee to draft a letter to be sent to persons who hold reserved seat tickets for the Carolina-Duke basketball game next M o n d a y night. The letter will express student support for the basketball team and its coach, and point out the fact that University students have also paid for their seats, but due to cramped facilities, all can not be admitted. The underlying rea son for the bill is the hope that b)askethall supporters realize the great need for a new campus field house. S e n a t e voiced approval on another bill introduced by Pres. Wilson. The resolution asked that no soliciting he' made on campus without permission from the Stu dent Affairs Committee. Donation Approved A m ot ion by Sen.
