The vote of "ex officio" members ran two to one in favor of the recommendation. The recommended policy, entitled "Conduct Within University Housing," is quite similar to the Craige Graduate Center agreement on open house. The Craige agreement states in part, "The officers and members agree to conform to patterns of ponduct publicly defensible for members of the University Community and residents of University housing, to be responsible for assuring that such conduct prevails and to make their residences and guests comfortable and free from even slight embarrassment. To this end they shall provide for and give public notice of such rules and regulations governing the conduct of residents of the house and their guests as they deem advisable and are approved by the Dean of Men and Dean of Women."

Griffin of Michigan, went along with Carswell this time. But others who supported Haynsworth refused to accept Carswell. These included Sens. Winston Prouty, Mario W. Cook, and J.

William Fulbright, D-Ark. Critics convinced a majority of the Senate that Carswell was unfit to serve on the Supreme Court, aleging he lacked judicial stature, held white supremacy views and had been less than candid in testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee at his confirmation hearing. The rejection means that the court will continue to operate with eight justices for the remainder of the current term which is expected to end in June. WASHINGTON (UPDA bitterly divided Senate rejected the Supreme Court nomination of G. Harrold Carswell Wednesday in a second stunning repudiation of President Nixon's efforts to restore "the kind of balance" he says the court needs.

By a vote of 51 to 45, the Senate resolved its anguish over party loyalties and doubts about CarsweU's fitness for the high bench. The votes of five moderate Republicans were decisive, but it was not until the roll call had neared its finish and Mrs. Margaret Chase Smith, the Maine Republican, softly uttered her "no" that the outcome was no longer in doubt. Thirteen Republicans deserted Nixon to join 38 Democrats in opposing the nomination. Twenty-eight Republicans and 17 Democrats-all from southern or border states-voted for Carswell.

He said the new organization has been formed because the current YAF club on campus is inactive. Adcock said an organizational meeting of campus Youth Americans for Freedom was held before Easter.

Recent reforms of foreign language requirements did nt ruffle the professor but did prompt his calling for language instruction at an earlier zge for pupils. "Although I believe strongly in the need for foreign language instruction, it is impossible to teach it in three or four semesters," he said. "Students should receive their basic teaching in high school, leaving colleges open to pursue foreign literature." "One of the most relevant areas of human understanding today is the need for communication," he said. "It is difficult for me to understand why foreign language is not relevant."
