about possible admission of
Red China to the U. N.
These statements, couched
in carefully guarded language,
are bound to cast doubt on the
firmness of the United States
about possible admission OF
Red China" Mr.. Byrnes said.
The policy statement of the
committee did not mention any
administration official by
name, but it declared that
vague and conflicting state
ments concerning the alleged
inevitability of admission of
Red China to the U. N. have
given impetus to the belief
that this administration is
adopting a soft attitude on the
question.
The committee statement
called upon Congress to re-
iterate in the strongest possible
terms its opposition to such
admission and its belief that
such admission would lead to
a fatal crippling of the U. N.
as an effective instrument for
world justice and peace"

Billy, q, will be the first male

Just being a male student at
Longwood is unusual for it pri-
narily a women'S college. There
are no dornlitory facilities for
males. The present enrolment is

a degree in 1884. Naturally, he
was a day student.
Billy, who has his own five
piece CONDO. took his major in
instrumental music. Of course.
And, even though the number Of
males is UP on the campus. none
majored III that category.
So it's been girls and more
