Cop Respect To
Increase With
Higher Fines
Higher fines for traffic vi
olations are partially intend
ed to increase respect for
campus police, said Fred
Hickman, Chief of Campus
Security.
Hickman gave this as one reason
in explaining why higher fees will
be charged for registration and re
instatement for cars next year.
Registration fee will be nearly
10 times higher than the 25 cent
fee charged this year. Traffic
fines will be doubled—$2 instead
of $1. Registration fee will be $2
for students.
Decreasing the number of vio
lations is another reason Hickman
gave for the hike in fines.
Faculty members will be charged
only $1 for registration and the
initial fee will cover the car as
long as it is operated on the cam
pus.
Fines for moving violations will
be $3, instead of the $2 fine as
sessed this year.
Fines will have to be paid with
in 72 hours next year or a delinq
uent fine of $5 will be added. Ap
peals must be made within the
same period, also. Same appeal
system will be used. Chief Hickman
said this year, under the $1 fine-
per-violation system about $10,000
was collected by his department.
“This money can be well spent
in the improvement of present
parking facilities, but we have
other revenue sources for this pro
ject—specifically, the new regis
tration fee, of which $1.50 will be
Used for this purpose.
Hickman went on to say that
neither his officers, nor any police
foi'ce, can expect 100 per cent effi
ciency in catching violators. He
also pointed out that many stu
dents are loading up their cars
with students and driving to class,
splitting up the fine if they are
caught.
“One dollar split four or five
ways doesn't amount to very much
—in fact, parking in most cities
is higher. However, not many stu
dents are willing to pay $1 a piece
or more for the privilege of park
ing in faculty lots during the day,”
Hickman said.
He also mentioned that a report
of all traffic violations occuring
on the campus are sent to the De
partment of Military Sciences to
be included in the permanent 201
file of cadets involved, as has been
done in the past.
CORRECTION
In the May 16 edition of the

4 Ike’ Says Cut
In Foreign Ai.d
Reckless Now
WASHINGTON, LT»)~Pres--
ident Eisenhower told the
American public last night re
duction of his $8,865,000,000
foreign aid program would be
“a reckless gamble” which could
lead to loss of peace and freedom.
In a speech prepai’ed for deliv
ery by nationwide television and
radio, Eisenhower declared anew
that “the cost of peace is high” in
this atomic age.
“Yet the price of war is higher
and is paid in different coin—with
the lives of our youth and the
devastation of our cities,” Eisen
hower said.
Obviously hitting at members of
Congress who want to cut the for
eign aid program, the President
then went on to say:
“The road to this disaster could
easily be paved with the good in
tentions of those blindly striving
to save the money that must be
spent as the price of peace.”
Eisenhower, speaking from his
White House office, added that “to
try to save money at the risk of
such damage” to the mutual se
curity program “is neither con
servative nor constructive.” Then
he declared:
“It is reckless.
“It could mean the loss of peace.
It could mean the loss of fi*eedom.
It could mean the loss of both.
“I know that you would not wish
your government to take such a
reckless gamble.” *
Eisenhower’s TV-radio talk was
his second appeal of the day in be
half of his foreign aid program,
already scaled down from the ad
ministration’s original figure of
$4,400,000,000.
Sounding the same theme he did
in his message to Congress, Eisen
hower pictured the foreign aid pro
gram as “the most concrete and
practical way collective effort
and collective security serve our
national good.”

Board of Directors
Request Opinion
By JOE TINDEL
Academic Council members yesterday voted 49 to 1 in
favor of continuing non-compulsory Corps at A&M in the
future.
The vote came after President D. W. Williams asked
for the Council’s opinion to submit to the Board of Directors.
Board members had asked Williams to get the faculty
body’s opinion for them to use in deciding for or against a
two year compulsory Corps.
Williams would not tell of the Council’s action because
he said he believed it to be only for the Board to .hear. Council
secretary, H. L. Heaton said he was not prepared to tell the
Council’s decision because he had not compiled the minutes.
The vote was taken after
some discussion on the merits
of both systems. He said the
earmarked as being confiden
tial.
Williams said the Board’s re
quest for the Academic Council’s
views is part of an evaluation being
conducted by the Board to deter
mine if the pi^esent non-compul
sory Corps system is feasible.
Prior to yesterday’s vote by the
Council, appeals have been made to
the Board by interested persons to
approve compulsory Corps for
A&M.
The latest appeal was made by
Jack Lunsford, Corps commander
and L. E. Sheppard, deputy Corps
commander, asking cadets to con
tact their parents urging them to
write Board members living near
their homes.
Board of Director’s action on the
matter may be taken at the body’s
meeting this month, since they
tabled the question at last month’s
meeting.
