Off the Cuff
What Goes
On Here
Now that the class elections ai’e
all over except for the shouting,
wee voice of confession comes from
the Air Force branch of the Corps
Seems as if the AF juniors,
gathered together ' in lab a few
days before the election, had each
man in the group who was running
for office stand up and be re
cognized so the cadets would “know*
their future representatives.”
Then one of the cautious rpem-
bers of the crowd piped up with the
sage advice of “gentlerpen, let’s not
say anything about this to our
Army friends.”
Evidently, both the introductions
and the secret angle were neces
sary for the young tigers to keep
their heads above water. They got
three of the six class positions
open.

Recently, all members of SCONA

to the inimitable MSC hamburgers.
The crowning blow came at the

had to cough up a 50-cent piece.

A University of Texas graduate
had reason to regret his courtesy
recently in Houston.
The UT gi-ad was inteiwiewing
the company at the same time
two Aggies were there trying for a
job. One of the Aggies came walk
ing in the room and the UT man,
his best manners showing, rose
from his seat and offered the Ag
gie his seat.
Suddenly there was a roar of
laughter from one of the employes.
The employe explained through
bursts of laughter that to see a
UT man offer his seat to an Ag
gie was really hilarious.
The teasip quickly sat down.

6th Fleet Sailing
Toward Jordan
WASHINGTON, (/P)_The United States put on a mighty
display of force today to back up its warning to Jordan’s
neighbors against carving up that crisis-ridden Middle East
ern state.
Basic policy was laid down by the vacation White House
at Augusta, Ga., last night after President Eisenhower had
conferred by phone with Secretary of State Dulles in Wash
ington. The core of that pronouncement was that this coun
try regards “the independence and integrity of Jordan as
vital to U. S. interests and world peace.’’
Today that statement was backed up by an order to the
U.S. 6th Fleet to sail from the western to the eastern Medi-

Senate Agenda
The Student Senate meets to
night in the Senate Chamber in the
Memorial Student Center. Listed
on the agenda are:
Roll Call, approval of minutes,
old business which inclufles all
committee reports, new business
and announcements. All committee
chairmen are supposed to have a
complete review of the committee’s
progress and recommendations.
Judges for the Saddle and Sir
loin Club’s annual Little South
western Livestock Exposition May
11 have been selected according to
Melvin Lebo, club president.
T. D. Tanksley, Dean J. C. Mil
ler, A. L. Smith, all of College Sta
tion; R. F. Hartman, Corpus
Christi; and George Johanson,
Brady, have been selected to judge
the various divisions during the
day.
Tanksley will have charge of
judging the swine division; Miller
will judge the horse division;
Johanson will judge the sheep
division and Smith will judge the
cattle division.
The finals will be judged by
Hartman.
“The Little Southwestern is not
a livestock show in the sense that
the animals themselves are up for
competition,” Lebo pointed out.
“Instead each man is judged for his

showmanship, how well he has
bi-ought his animal along and got
ten it in shape for the show and
how he handles the animal in the
show ring,” he said.
Civilian Senior
Dues Drive Begins
All civilian seniors will be con
tacted this week for their class
dues of $1 if possible, according
to Vannis Redman.
The money is to be applied to
the Ring Dance and banquet ex
penses, Redman said. He said the
money must be collected* this week
so the dance committee can de
termine a price for the dance and
banquet tickets.
Day students can pay their class
dues in the Student Activities Of
fice of the second floor of the YM
CA, he said. College View seniors
will be contacted by the College
View Council members but if they
are not contacted they can contact
these men and pay them.
Any surplus goes to the class
gift, Redman said.
Each of the judges is an authori
ty in his field and the division
champions will compete against
each other Saturday night to pick
the Grand Champion and Reserve
Champion of the show.
Each division champion and run
ner-up will be awarded a prize and
the Grand and Reserve Champion
Showmen will receive silver cups
in addition to their other prizes.
Tanksley was county agent for
Llano before moving to College
Station to work with the Exten
sion Service at A&M.
Smith, also with the Extension
Service, works as Extension
Animal Husbandryman and has had
long experience as a judge work
ing at most of the major livestock
shows over the state.
Johanson is a well-known breeder
of Delaine-Merino sheep on his
ranch at Brady while Millei*s’
reputation as a judge of livestock
is known internationally.
Hartman is agriculture repre
sentative for the Central Power
and Light Co. at Corpus Christi.
He is well-known in the major
livestock shows in Texas as a
judge of all types of livestock.
teranean. That would put the
fleet in position for action.
The apparent aim was to
give young King Hussein a
full opportunity to save his
country from political collapse with
a minimum of outside interference.
For the moment, there was no
indication here that Eisenhower
and Dulles had any desire to in
tervene militarily on Jordan’s be
half.
The indication, diplomatic offi
cials said, was rather that they
wanted to remind Middle Eastern
countries of U.S. interest, policy
and ability to act.
The fleet order sent the 60-000-
ton supercarrier Forrestal, two
cruisers and a force of destroy
ers steaming toward Middle East
ern waters so fast that 150 of the
Forrestal’s crew, on leave in Paris,
were left behind.
Informants here said the offi
cial explanation for the move was
that the fleet was needed in those
waters to remove American na
tionals should that become desir
able.
Officials privately supported the
‘show of force” explanation and
linked the whole operation with
the statement given out by the
White House last night.
This raised a serious question
whether the Eisenhower adminis
tration is moving toward a finding
that Jordan is in trouble because
of Communist oppressoi-s and ma
neuvers and that the United States
might therefore intervene.
The administration was repre
sented as wanting to put Egypt
and Syi’ia primarily, but also Is
rael and Saudi Arabia, on notice
that it was opposed completely to
any move to carve up Jordan.

Russia Accuses
United States
Of Slander
LONDON, UP)—The Soviet
Union last night accused the
United States of waging a
“slanderous” campaign
against Soviet diplomats.
Moscow radio said a protest
note was handed to R. H. Davis,
U. S. charge d’affaires in Moscow.
The note as broadcast by Mos
cow radio said:
“In the U.S.A. them has recent
ly been a marked increase in a
campaign obviously aimed at cast
ing aspersion on activities of the
Soviet Embassy in the U.S.A and
its staff.
“Slanderous allegations are also
being made against the Soviet
ambassador to the United States.
“A similar hostile campaign is
conducted in the U.S. A. against
the Soviet representative at the
U.N. and the staff of the represen
tation.
“It must be stressed, that this
impermissible campaign, which is
incompatible with the develop
ment of normal relations between
the U.S.S.R.. and U.S.A., is sup
ported and even encouraged by
certain American official circles.
“All this creates abnormal con
ditions for the work of the Soviet
Embassy in the U.S.A. and of the
U.S.S.R. representation at U.N.”
CAIRO, — 6P) — Egypt made
public here yesterday its plan to

A&M Rodeo Team
In Houston Arena
A&M rodeo team rode into the
University of Houston arena today
for another bout in the Intercol
legiate rodeo struggle.
As a result of their second place
win over the weekend in the TCU-
Arlington NIRA rodeo, A&M now
trails McNeese State College by
187 points for the lead in the
Southern District of the National
Intercollegiate Rodeo Association.
Tomomow the Aggie riders will
travel to Kingsville for the Texas
A&I NIRA rodeo which lasts
through Saturday. John Kiker re
placed Roger Lacy in today’s com
petition and Bobby Wakefield will
replace Kiker in the A&I rodeo.
In the TCU rodeo, A&M massed
a total of 307.5 points behind 566.5
points for McNeese State. A. G.
Ollre led the team with 144 points
followed by teammate Curtis Bur-
lin with 114, and Kenneth Beasley
with 49.5 points.
Rodney Butler, Virgil Patrick
and Roger Lacy failed to place.
The announced Egyptian plan
provides some latitude in ai’bitra-
ting disputes that may arise in op
erating the 103-mile waterway the
Egyptians nationalized last July
26.
The Egyptian memorandum
promised uninterrupted naviga
tion for all nations — with some
reservations — and proposed set
ting up a fund of one-fourth of
all tolls to develop the canal.
Egypt will collect all tolls, the
memorandum said, and the Egyp
tian government will take 5 per
cent in royalties. It said toll in
creases would be limited to one
per cent a year unless negotia
tions with users provided for more.
The Egyptian announcement and
responsible Egyptian officials in
sisted that the document will have
the force of an international
treaty registered with the United
Nations.

Spring dairy show is set for Sat
urday at 2 p.m. at the Dairy Cat
tle Center.
Two additions have been sche
duled this year. One is the Dairy
Show Queen. Dedication of the
show to a member of the Dairy
Science Department is the other.
Twenty-eight students in the
School are to show animals in the
show. And for about the past 30
days they have been brushing,
trimming and training 77 animals
that range from 6-month old heif-
ers to matui’e, well-uddei’ed cows.
Both Jersey and Holstein animals
are being fitted for the show.
Queen for the show will be
Kream and Kow Klub’s sweetheart,
Miss Dorthy Bagwell of Dublin.
The queen, a 19-year-old brunette
freshman at Tarleton State Col
lege, represented the Kream and
Kow Klub in the recent Cotton
Pageant.
Miss Bagw r ell will be handing out
r’ibbons to winners in the different
classes for animal fitting and
showmanship.
In addition to ribbons, cash
prizes of $5, $4, $3, $2 and ?1 will
be awarded for first, second, third,
fourth and fifth placing, respec
tively, in each of the classes.
And prizes made possible from
commercial sources will be award
ed to the champion Jersey and
Holstein.
The show is dedicated to A. L.
Darnell, long time member of the
Dairy Science Department. Dar
nell, well known over Texas in the
dairy industry, is to retire this
spring.
Judging the show will be A. M.
Meekma, extension dairy special
ist.
The animals shown will be from
the College dairy herd. Through
fitting and showing the animals,
students get experience they will
most likely use later, if they enter
some field of agriculture.

Senior Meeting
A senior class meeting will be
held Monday at 7 p.m. to make
the final selection on the class
gift. The meeting will be held in
the Chemistry Lecture Room.
Department of Dairy Science says
the department doesn’t mind pay
ing out the cash for the prizes. He
figures the daiigy gets its money’s
worth because animals will be
trained to lead and not be so nerv
ous when added to the milking
herd.
The public is invited to witness
the show, and a special invitation
from the K&K Klub is extended
to students and faculty members.
Two prominent men in the dairy
industry are to be special guests at
the show. W. L. Payton, dairy
cattle breeder from Stephenville
and president of the Texas Jersey
Cattle Club and G. M. Lassater,
Falfurrias creamery owner, will
get special recognition as newly in
ducted honorary members of the
Kream and Kow Klub.
Activities of the show will prob
ably last about two hours, and be
finished by 4 p.m.
Later in the evening, the Kream
and Kow will have a steak barbe
cue in Hensel Park with the YM
CA as host, J. Gordon Gay secre-
tary- The picnic is for members
and their dates, and Dah’y Science
staff.
DAIRY QUEEN Dorothy Bagwell from Dublin will reign
over the annual Spring Dairy Show planned for the Dairy
Center Saturday afternoon. She will be escorted by Bobby
Joe Traweek. The show is sponsored by the Kream & Kow
club.
