Vie Zuekero
Showing Slight
Improvement
Vie Zuekero, “B” Field Ar
tillery senior who was strick
en with spinal meningitis
during an intramural softball
game last Wednesday, came
out of his coma yesterday in St.
Joseph’s Hospital and is making a
slow improvement, reported his at
tending physician, Dr. J. E. Marsh,
Jr.
Marsh said despite the slow pro
gress, he couldn’t say yet what the
patient’s condition will be later.
He said Vic was resting comfort
ably, realized where he was and
what his condition is, and was co
operating without complaint.
Earlier reports said Zuekero was
in an oxygen tent, hut Marsh ex
plained he had only been given
small amounts of oxygen from
time to time.
The Vic Zuekero Fund was start
ed on the j^&M campus today when
the Student Senate placed buckets
at several prominent locations on
the campus. A goal of at least
$600 has been set to help pay their
Aggie buddy’s hospital bill which
mounts by $100 each day.
Though Zuekero has some insur
ance; it is not enough to combat
costs such as these. In addition,
productivity on the Zuekero farm
at Simenton was stopped by re
cent floods, which forced the fam
ily to evacuate their home. The
land is still under water and is
rendered useless for the time be
ing.

“We have already doubled the
expectations of Student Activities
on our ticket sales,” said Carter.
“This will be the largest ring dance
ever held at AM and the smoothest
run of everybody will cooperate
with us.
One of the biggest events in the
life of an Aggie is passing through
the “Ring” at the dance to turn
his ring around. Pictures will be
taken to record that special mom
ent that every Aggie has waited
four years to do.
Carter and his committee have
made special arrangements this
year to make the operation of tak

less confusing.
Seniors and their dates are asked
to line up in numerical order at
the time their ticket calls for with

In Tuesday Mishap

Wharton, suffered a bruised leg
and knee, a chipped tooth and a
cracked lip yesterday afternoon
when he dashed out from between

Barfield to the College Hospital,
where the cadet received treat

was entirely his own fault. He
said he emerged from between the
cars without looking where he was
going.

WASHINGTON, — OP) _ The
United States, with the approval
of President Eisenhower, is re
suming shipment to Yugoslavia of
jet combat planes, tanks and other
heavy military equipment.
This was announced yesterday
by the State Department, ending
almost a year’s suspension of ma
jor military aid to the independent
Communist country.
The announcement said the de
cision to start arms moving again
was based on a finding by the
President that “Yugoslavia is and
firmly intends to remain indepen
dent” and that “it is in the inter
est of the United States” to keep
it free of Soviet domination.

The restored aid program will
provide Yugoslavia with addition
al jet fighter planes in the immed
iate future. Some F86s and F84s
released by this country’s Euro
pean allies have already been re
conditioned and are on European
fields awaiting delivery.
The military aid program, stai’t-
ed about five years ago for Yugo
slavia, was interrupted in m id-
1956 except for spare parts for
American military equipment which
the Yugoslav forces had previously
received.
The interruption was ordered by
the President because of bitter ob
jections in Congress to giving’ mil
itary equipment to a Communist
country, particularly after Yugo
slav President Tito had joined in
efforts with Soviet Premier Bul
ganin and Communist party chief
Khrushchev to improve Russian-
Yugoslav relations.

PARIS, Ky. CT)—Hamlet Collier
Sr. displayed his flaming loyalty
recently. After the seat in his
truck caught fire, Collier tossed it
onto the bed behind the cab and
drove almost a mile outside town
to the Bourbon County Fire De
partment. The Paris Fire Depart

it up. He’s an auxiliary fireman
on call at the Bourbon County sta

“It was just a case of a fireman
wanting to patronize his own fire
station,” commented County Chief

No Cut In Spending
Forseen By Ike
WASHINGTON, (TP)—President Eisenhower told the
nation last night “the price of peace is high.” He said he
sees no immediate prospect for “relaxation of international
tensions” to warrant a substantial cut in federal spending.
Appealing directly to the people in an effort to stem the
budget-cutting tide in Congress, the President said in an
address prepared for coast-to-coast television and radio
broadcast:
“There is no cutrate price for security.”
In a defense of the administration’s $71,800,000,000
spending program for the year starting July 1, the Presi
dent declared that budget “Is huge,” but he called it neces-
: ♦"sary to help wage peace and

Storage Areas Set
For Summer Terms
Baggage may be stored this
summer by students who will not
be attending the first summer ses
sion of summer school or who ai’e
not coming back to A&M until
next fall, according to Bennie A.
Zinn, head of student affairs.
Lamps, trunks and other person
al belongings can be stored in
either the basement of Dormitory
3 or “K” Ramp of Walton Hall.
The storage will be handled by
the Agronomy Society and they
will receive all the revenue for
their club. They will assume no
responsibility for the property, but
all possible precautions will be
taken to safeguard it, Zinn said.
Lamps will be stored at a price
of $.40 each, bicycles, at $1 each,
footlockers at $ .40 and all other

prevent war.
“I can see no immediate re
laxation of international ten
sions to provide the basis
now for substantial reductions of
these spending programs for pre
serving and waging peace,” Eis
enhower said.
“In fact, the gains we have al
ready made impel us to press for
ward with no letup.”
Speaking from his White House
office, Eisenhower noted that more
than seven billion dollars in the
budget is earmarked for payment
of interest on the national debt.
Referring to it as an obligation
which must be met, the President
went on to say: i<
“Ours is not like the Soviet gov
ernment, which recently told its
people it would no longer pay the
interest on its government savings
bonds.”
Repeating what he has said sev
eral times the last few weeks, Ei
senhower said of the budget:
“No great reductions in it are
possible unless Congress elimi
nates or curtails existing federal
programs, or all of us demand less
service from the government, or
unless we are willing to gamble
with the safety of our country.”
Rep. Martin of Massachusetts,
the House Republican leader, re
ported to newsmen after a call on
Eisenhower that the President said
he would “not want to assume any
responsibility for the safety of
the country if cuts were made of
any substantial nature in missiles
and aircraft.”
