The editorial controversy aroused ly that one letter has convinced us that mu( h remains to be done—we can use a golf course, a swimming pooi-skating rinc, and an air-conditioning system flung hete and there around the campus. But maybe we,won’t be able to get all of them—at least not at once. Let’s decide which should come first.

Some barn yard observers close to the outbreaks aren’t sure, but they point out^the sirrji- larity between these defiances of authoiji- ty and recent declarations around the world. Bovine leaders in Oklahoma, Kansas, Illinois and Colorado have thus far spok en up. Why have Texas’ million and; a half dairy cows not taken a stand or pos sibly taken the lead of the four othfer states? Thus far local resistance has| been pja- cific in nature, but from the widely scat tered outbreaks, dissatisfaction may spread faster than the pyramid clubs. It remains to be seen whether this Se ries of alarming adaptions of human in struments and conveniences is communist inspired. To be ojn the safe side, some nu tional legislation may be necessary to sit- isfy this discontent.

Kesin in the Joe • • ^1 ’{By DAVE COSLETT Early morning coffhe drinkers at the Cave, more familiarly known as Casey's, found Foonv for specu lation Tuesday morning when they noticed the lack of silverware for coffee-drinking purposes. The traditional silver spoon had been replaced by a wooden; model . This seemingly trivial matter wa$ the cause fot much conster- nation with the drowsy diners. The wooden spoon, they moaned, must be outlawed; for it poses a menace to the very foundations of the coffee drinking institution. The first difficulty occasioned by the non-metallic silverware was tMi inability to correctly measure that exact amount of sugar. Even frenzied slide-rule calculations failed to determine the exact ra tio between one normal spoonful 1 . V' towii in One of six travelingJart exhibits touring Texas is now being shown in the lobby of Cushing Memorial Library, Paul Balance, acting liv brarian, has announced. The exhibit is being sponsored at A&M by the Campus Study club under the chairmanship of Mrs. E. R. Alexander Of College Station. Three groups of paintings make up the exhibit—professional, ama teur-adult, and amateur-student. Among the paintings and sket ches shown are “The Fisherman" by Ruth Dunn, “Ruffled Petunias" by Bill Culwell, “S P Yards at Night” by Robert Reed and “Wings Oifer Jordan” by l-ola Miller.

The lucky few who acciden tally discovered the formula were faced with still another problem. Any attempt to stir the brew resulted in a couple of burned fingers, since the rather short psuedo - sovels proved entirely inadequate in reaching the bot tom of a full cup. Another cause for gripes was the amazing propensity of the spoons to float away from those who failed to maintain a firm grip. A spoon floating in a cup of coffe^ incidentally, is rather hard to re trieve. / From the flavor angle, some customers maintained that the pine picnic spoons altered both the aroma and taste of the morning cup. Resin, they say, melted out of the spoons and gathered in thin skim on top of the liquid. Others maintained that the im plement was potentially danger ous as a source of splinters. No evidence has been found, how ever, to support this argument. — With few exceptions, the entire dientel of thd local coffee dis pensary looked on the substitution as a violation of their sacred and inalienable rights. The manage ment, in/ the meanwhile, excused itself with the statement that the change was necessary due to a shortage of both labor and sijver- ware.’ 0 Hotard'd We don’t know how to serve you any better, but we can serve you longer.

A roll-call vote of 208 to 207 sent the measure back to the vet erans committee for further study. It is possible for the Veterans’ Committee to write a new bill and send it back to the House at a later date. But Chairman Rankin (D-Miss) told the House the vote to recom mit meant that the bill is dead. * Bill “Killed” “That kills this legislation for this congress,” Rankin said. Rankin’s Bill already had been so amended that it bore little re semblance to his original propo sal for $90 a month pensions at age 65 to all world war one and two veterans. {, The vote to throw it back to committee climaxed a series of maneuvers on the floor. Rep. Teague (D-Tex) made the motion to send it back.' ! The roll call vote was first announced as 2Q9 to 208 against the motion. 1 [A Tabulations Err ' But on a recount, It developed that the tabulators had erred on fhtvfirst count. , . j ’ / f ■ There were no vote switches on the recapitulation. / Rep. McCormack (D-Mais), pre siding in the absence from the city of speaker Rayburn, Ordered the recount on his own initiative. The House sat in tense silence as the names of each member and the Way they voted were called out by clerks. It wan so quiet the auto matic counter used by the clerks could be heard clicking. It was the closest vote on a major bill in the Hoiise since lata in 1941 when, by a one-vote mar gin, the bill to continue the draft law was passed.' f r Teague Leads Way Teague first moved to strike out the bill’s enacting clause— ordinarily a motion that kills a bill if it carries. That lost 169 io! /158 on a standing count. Then Teague got a teller vote on jthe same motion. It carried then, 171 to 168. Teague’s motion to send the bill back to committee followed, bring ing the roll call and the recount COMMITTEE APPROVES i NTSC NAME CHANGE AUSTIN, March 26 -UP) Chang ing the name of North Texas State Teachers College, Denton, to just North Texas State College was approved by the House education committee Wednesday. The bill making the change also gives the college a separate board; of regents. Heretofore it has been under the board controlling all state teachers colleges. A companion measure, by Sena tor R. L.
