According to the Council, we were placed on probation for violation of NCAA rules, thus affecting all of our sports. But the examples of violation listed by the Council were done on the football end of our sports program. Since there is no NCAA post season competition for football, this means the remaining sports will suffer for violations in the football program. This doesn’t leave much incentive for the team members of swimming, baseball, track, tennis or basketball. How can they justify their penalizing our entire sports program for the misdeeds done in football ? However, it is very probable that the football team itseJf will be directly affected by the ruling. The NCAA listed the Southwest Conference Athletic Association as helping them in the investigation, which probably is the same evidence used against us by the SWC last May. Taking note of this and the fact that the SWC Associa tion pays high tribute to all NCAA utterances, it is very probable the SWC will not lift our probation, as has been pre dicted, when it meets May 11, 12. It would be too much to ask them to be self sufficient in passing down their judg ments. It will be interesting to see whether the SWC committee thinks enough of itself to act independently as to the con tinuance of the probation levied by them last May. Al Other Schools UT, TCU Elect ’56-57 Editors News of the World By The ASSOCIATED PRESS MONTGOMERY—Expressing - fear of “race riots” and other vio lence, Montgomery officials have gone into court in an effort to force city buses to comply with segregation law r s. The privately operated bus company, Montgomery City Lines, announced a week ago, after the U. S. Supreme Court banned segregation on intrastate buses, that drivers would no longer enforce separate seating arrangements for ■white and Negro passengers. ★ ★ ★ JERUSALEM—The old Arab-Israeki dispute over waters of the Jordan River arose again yesterday to plague Dag Hammarsk- jold’s search for peace. The U.N. secretary general cancelled plans to fly to Rome today and will return to Damascus for another round of talks with Syrian officials. ★ ★ ★ DALLAS—U. S. Sen. Lyndon Johnson last night, called Allan Shivers a “frightened, frustrated and fearful” governor “who seems obsessed with the delusion that someone is closing in on him. I do not know what is closing in on him unless it is his own conscience. I have not closed in on him,” Sen. Johnson said in his state-wide tele vision speech from KRLD-TV at Dallas at 8:30 p.m. [ .7 O << p a OU LOOK STUDENTS! We have hundreds of combinations of special type for your Olympia Portable!

BRYAN BUSINESS MACHINE CO. 429 SOUTH MAIN STREET BRYAN — TA 2-1328 By BILL FULLERTON Every once in a while, w r e like to take a look around the other fair campuses in this league and see wdio else is not doing what they are supposed to do. Here is a panorama of news—from the state capital school to the stockyards of Fort Worth. University of Texas Something has happened at the Forty Acres that never, never (could it?) happen at A&M. We still hold our distinctive niche, and we’ll never be faced by what is faced by the University of Texas. The citadels of the A&M fortress are forever protected against such an occurinence; our masculine virtue cannot be stormed. What happened? Why, Willie (College Yell) Morris, controversial editor—some say he even writes for such magazines as The Nation—of The Daily Texan is to be succeeded by a (blush, all you he-men) GIRL! Miss Nancy McMeans, the new editor, collected 583 votes moi - e than her male opponent in a runoff election. Another story in The DT is about the expanded activities of Arab women. The story begins, “Arab women are competing with men in many industries . . .” Say, is Nancy an Arab? Texas Christian University The Horned Froggies also have a new editor. We’ve ceased to blush, having decided from the new editor’s name that it must be a he —a male, that is. Another hint given us is that the TCU Skiff, weekly campus newspaper, said Jim Hendricks has announced his staff for next year. Only other thing happening around Cowtown U. is that dormitory space has proved to be so scarce that girls living in dorms will have three to a room. “An apartment house near the school, which must remain anonymous for the benefit of the owners, has been leased to take care of a portion of the overflow,” says the Skiff. How will a girl ever explain to her parents why she has been moved off-campus to an anonymous house? Southern Methodist University An enticing headline in the SMU newspaper, The Campus, reads as follows: “Books, Who Needs ’Em?’ Students Ask.” We’d like to suggest the headline writer try one, especially a spelling book. Apparently, he meant “Them,” certainly not “ ’Em.” At least not a such a classy institution as SMU. Baylor University Journalism Day was held last week at the Baptist school in Waco Putting out t?Te paper were about 250 high school students. In cele bration of the annual event, the Laiiat staff composed a series of articles concerning the old and honorable profession known as the “fourth estate.” The estate aimed at by the Lariat was the Lariat, it-, him- or her-self, whichever a lariat be. One of the stories was especially appealing, with a headline reading, “It’s Amazing, The Presses Keep Rolling Despite Laiiat Confusion.” Now that kind of propoganda is no way to sell the values of jour nalism to impressionable young high school journalists. The writer should take the course described in another article on the journalism page. This is: “Public Relations Major Added To Department.” We like the definition of public relations that an Aggie journalism major once made: “A short course in hypocrisy.” Rice Institute Our files on The Rice Thresher are about three weeks out of date, but still a few things of interest (to Owls, we guess) have happened at the Houston school. One of the “biggest” introductions in the world surely is to be held there, or has been by now, for the lead story is headed, “Biology Building To Be Announced.” Maybe it’s a “debby- taunt.” In the same issue was a story about “U.S. Navy Offers Career to Girls.” Well, gee whiz; Aggies have been offering careers to girls for years. Rice’s Student Council seems to have more fun than our Student Senate. Quote the Thresher, “Student Council, Riot Reports, Party, Lounge Take Up Time.” A&M A statement of policy in Tuesday’s issue of The Battalion in cludes the following item, which we feel is highly inappropriate for this column: “Decency—A newspaper cannot escape conviction of in sincerity if while professing a high moral purpose, it supplies incentives to base conduct.” Hey, that’s us!
