2 Campus Streets
Become One Way
One way streets, the latest rec
ommendation ‘of the traffic com
mittee went into effect' Tuesday.
After deliberating for some
time, the committee recommended
that Hubbard and Roberts streets
be made one way streets.
Black and white signs now mark
every intersection showing that
the two streets, which * run east
from the Academic Building on
both sides of Cushing Library, are
no longer for two way ti’affic.
In explaining the situation, Fred
Hickman, chief of campus security,
said, “the changing of these streets
to one way will definitely make
that area safer for pedestrians.
And since we also have more cars
on the campus this year than last,
it should also ease the traffic
problem.”
A&M Students
Tried Before
Senior Court
With a hazy defense and a
strong accuser, eight fresh
men and two sophomores from
Squadron 10 confronted Sen
ior Court last night on charg
es of throwing coke bottles filled
with gasoline on dormitories last
Saturday night.
The accused were charged with
violating Article 41 of the Articles
of the Cadet Corps, which states,
“violations not covered in these
Articles shall be handled as indi
vidual cases.” The two sopho
mores were also charged with vio
lation of Article 21, “breaking ai’-
rest.”
In brief, this is what took place
on the night of Sept. 24:
Two seniors were sitting in their
rooms talking when they heard a
noise. They looked out their win
dow and saw dormitory three on
fire. The time was a^xpi'oximately
mid-night.
Upon seeing the fire, the two
seniors gave chase to a group of
boys running toward the green
houses by the Biology Building.
One student was caught but he re
fused to give his name or outfit.
Capt. Ulrich Crow, tactical offi
cer, was called at approximately
1:15 a.m. and arrived in the dormi-

Drill Field
Made Ready
For Reviews
A new look was added to the
drill field today. The bright
green turf is now marked by
brilKant white lines of lime.
This brings to the mind of
every Aggie just one dreaded
thought, full-dress reviews are
in the future.
Although the first scheduled
review is a little less than a
month away, several practice
reviews necessitate the field
being marked in advance.

TAMPICO, Mexico—Flood wa
ters of the Panuco River rose
again yesterday—but more slowly
—and the drenched inhabitants of
Tampico hoped this meant the
worst of the month-long floods is
over. The city’s 110,000 residents
and 50,000 refugees still face grave
shortages of food, water, medical
supplies and electric power. Three
succassive hurricanes, record rains
and floods have left some 300 dead
and 100,000 homeless in Mexico.
In Tampico alone some 60,000 have
been driven from their homes,

ruefully admitted yesterday that
in one respect, at least, they are

RABAT, Morocco—France today
flew more troops to battle the
black cloaked Berber horsemen of
the Riff Mountains whose rebel
raids in Morocco showed new signs
of well-organized leadership. Of

rebels were “aggressive” and the
military situation was “not too
brilliant.” Both sides apparently
have received reinforcements and
hard fighting was raging at a
number of points.

BATON ROUGE, La.—Demo
cratic National Chairman Paul
Butler says Gov. Shivers will
be welcomed back to the party
fold but that “he won’t be in
vited to sing in the choir. There
are many evidences these days
of people who weren’t with us in
1952, who are trying to get on
the bandwagon in 1956,” Butler
said at a press conference here.

LUXEMBOURG—F r a n c e and
West Germany last night agreed
the Saar’s pro-German political
parties must continue to enjoy full
political freedom if and when the
Saar becomes Europeanized. Saar
landers go to the polls Oct. 23 to
approve or reject the agreement
which France and West Germany
worked out for them a year ago.
It would make the Saar a European
territory under the Western Euro
pean Union, pending a final peace
treaty settlement for all of Ger
many. The present trend in the
plebiscite campaign seems against
this statute. The pro-German
parties argue a negative vote is
the best way to bring the area
back to Germany.

held the grand jury returning

De Gaulle’s Followers
May Leave Cabinet Posts
PARIS—UP)—Premier Edgar Faure’s government web-
bled uncertainly last night over French North African poli
cies as one of Faure’s big group of supporters threatened to
pull its five ministers out of the Cabinet.
The Social Republican party, followers of Gen. Charles
de Gaulle, decided to ask the ministers to resign unless Pes-
ident Rene Coty gives his assent to a plan for a national
union government. A national union government presumably
would include all parties except the Communists. Not all
parties might be willing to join.
Since the Faure government is still functioning observ
ers said there seemed to be no way for Coty to agree, even
■♦■if he favored the principle of
such a government.
The Social Republican min
isters are Pierre Koenig, de
fense ; Gaston Palewski, spe
cial functions assigned by the pre
mier; Raymond Troublet, veterans
affairs; Edward Corniglion-Moli-
nier, public works; and Maurice
Bayrou, secretary of state in the
Ministry for Overseas Territories.
There also was a threat of the
resignation of Joan Sourbet, min
ister of agriculture. Sourbet is a
member of the independent Peas
ant party and that group met this
afternoon to consider asking him
to withdraw. No decision was tak
en, despite a gefieral hostility to

She pointed out that the local
club, established in 1929, has al
ways been active in local affairs.
Members have helped with the li
brary movement, book fairs, school
lunch programs, mobile x-ray unit
and blood programs and poll tax
drives. The club also maintains a
loan fund for a scholarship, as well
as an annual $50 scholarship for
an outstanding Bryan or College
Station high school graduate.
Dick Hervey, secretary of the
Former Students Association, has
been appointed to serve as chair
man of the Kiwanis Nominating
Committee. Othei-s on the commit
tee include Herschel Bui'gess, Otis
Miller, Aden Magee and Ralph

Faui'e’s handling of the North
Afxdcan situation.
The independent Peasant, ob
viously feai'ful of starting a pai’ade
of I'esignations, decided to cooi'di-
nate their action with the indepen
dent Republicans.
Premier Faure himself was in
Luxembourg yestexday for a con-
fei'ence with German Chancellor
Koni'ad Adenauei". Faure .was ex
pected back last night.
m
The Cabinet is scheduled to meet
today fox* another round of talk
about how to put its Moi'occan re
form policy into effect.
The resignation of five or six
ministei’s would not necessarily
foive the x*esignation of Faure and
his other ministers. But any such
manifestation of hostility would
fox-bode cex-tain defeat in the Na
tional Assembly when a vote is
held after- debate on Nox-th Afx-ica
which may stai't late this week.
A big difficulty hinges on the
government’s plan to set up a
thi-ee-man x-egency council to re
place Sultan Hohammed Ben Moxj-
lay Arafa who has been sent off
to x-etirement in Tangier. The plan
to remove Moulay Arafa and set
up the regency council was de
cided late in August, but has not
yet been put 1 into effect.

K. Reid Jr., ichthyologist for
the Department of Wildlife

The first article by Reid, “In

a paper px-esented befox-e the Tex

The second, “A Summer Study of

conducted at the marine laboratory
at Rockpox-t for the Texas Game
and Fish Commission.

STEF BY STEP—Slowly I turned; step by step—the concrete steps of the YMCA build
ing- are being- demolished to make way for new ones. The work is being- done by the
R. B. Butler Construction Co. of Bryan. The System Board of Directors approved a con
tract for $10,490 for construction of the new steps. It’s all part of the renovating of the
building, so that several new departments of the school can move in, probably around
the first of the year.
