Presenting a program that ranges from Bach to special arrangements of . such songs as “Black Magic” and “Greensleeves”, the Angelaires will present a program that should delight Town Hall audiences of every musical taste. The ensemble is composed of five highly talented young ladies who are equally at home on tele vision or the stage. They have made appearances on the Ed Sulli van and Steve Allen shows.

M. McLain, of the state high way department. With widening and improving the highway, a new broad yellow stripe was painted one lane west of the old dash stripe. Many motor ists still obviously haven’t noticed Senior Aggieland Picture Schedule Corps senioi’s will have their por trait made- for the Aggieland ’58 according to the following schedule.

The two-car collision Avhich kill ed an A&M freshman and a Gid- dings man Tuesday night could very well have happened under such conditions according to inves tigating- officers. The crash was head-on with apparently no reason other than the new center stripe markings, to cause the accident, Bryan police investigating the wreck said. McLain said the new center stripe was to be crossed under no conditions except when turning at street corners. Work on the highway began last March and should be completed by January, 1958, according to Mc Lain. The work covers all road way on Highway 6 (Texas Ave nue in Bryan) from Jersey Street in College Station to 27th Street in Bryan. When completed, the highway will be 64 feet wide, allowing room for two lanes with parking room on both sides of the roadway. At four places of especially heavy traffic congestion, the highway will widen to four lanes. The new highway will be com plete with concrete curbs and storm gutters. College Station and Bry an are paying for cost of the curbs and gutters and the highway de partment is paying for the actual paving of the street.

Teamsters Petition Against Hoffa NEW YORK (A*)—Leaders of a rank-and-file movement to throw out the election of James Hoffa to the presidency of the Teamsters Union indicated yesterday that thousands of Teamsters all over the country are signing petitions against Hoffa. John Cunningham, chairman of a New York group which has brought court action aimed at declaring Hoffa’s election illegal said 65 numbers of Hoffa’s own local in Detroit have signed petitions. Plans Bipartisan Discussion First BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON,—President Eisenhower announced yes terday that in the interests of bolstering “free world securi ty” he plans to attend a NATO Council meeting in Paris in mid-December. First, Eisenhower told a news conference, he will hold his annual session with congressional leaders of both parties. This, he said, will be “in the tradition oof bipartisan respon sibility for keeping the country on a single track in foreign relations.” As the President prepares for these conferences, he is still puzzled at the significance of Russia’s dropping his post war associate and acquaintance, Marshal Georgi Zhukov, as ♦minister of defense. B'hl „ Eisenhower said that “there Pleasanton To Integrate Quietly Friday PLEASANTON, Tex., (AP) —This southern Texas town of 5,000 is planning to quietly integrate its high school Fri day in contrast to the racial struggles elsewhere this school year. “We want to show the world it can be dope in a Christian-like way,” said the high school prin cipal, D. C. Baldree. Voters approved integration 323- 88 last Saturday in a local option election—the first under a new Texas law. This law requires a favorable vote before any school district in the state can integrate. The penalty for noncompliaiice is loss of state aid and accreditation. Flu Hits A&M Again; 70 Cases in Hospital Twenty-five new cases « of flu were reported by the College Hos pital yesterday as the virus con tinued to spread at A&M. More than 70 patients were in the hospital last night, which is three times the normal amount, Dr. C. R. Lyons, hospital supervi sor, said. • He said at least half the flu was of the Asian variety. Although tests have not been made on most of .the cases, Dr. Lyons said the hospital staff had become familiar with the characteristics and that they were reasonably sure of the diagnosis. “Asian flu is usually accompan ied by high temperatures, up around 103 and 104,” he said. “The common colds and sniffles may be accompanied by low temperatures, but usually the temperature does not rise as in the Asian variety.” The Corps is still virtually free from the attack as most of the virus victims come from day stu dents living in College View and Civilian dormitories. “It looks like the flu will be with us most of the winter,” Dr. BUSINESS RISE OKLAHOMA CITY <A>)—Officers brought a man before City Judge James Demopolos on a vagrancy charge. “What’s your business?” Demo polos asked. “I’m unemployed,” was the ans wer. “How do you support yourself?” the judge pressed. “I don’t need any money to get along,” the man said. “Well, you do now,” Demopolos replied. “I fine you $20 for vag rancy.” i , Lyons said yesterday as the hos pital list grew. He said the virus seemed to be bouncing back and forth across the state, and blam ed weekend trips as the largest factor in causing flu at A&M to hang on. “As Aggies go home or on week end ti’ips they contact other out breaks and carry the germs back here,” he explained. He thought the holidays coming up this winter would aid the epi demic growth here, since Aggies will be traveling to all parts of the flu-ridden state. Other colleges have the same problem. Dr. Lyons said he talk ed to University of Texas’ doctors by telephone yesterday and they re ported continued outbreaks there. “Oddly enough,” the hospital supervisor said, “having the virus does not make one immune to it. Many of the same students who have had the flu recently come back with a new case.” He said the hospital was giving flu vaccine shots to cunent vic tims as treatment. A good supply of the vaccine is on hand at the hospital, which any student may get for $1 a shot. Weather Today Continued partly cloudy and warm today and tomorrow is the forecast for the College Station area, according to the college weathher station. Aggies going to the Arkansas game will find it somewhat cooler in Fayetteville Saturday. This morning’s low thermometer reading was 60 degrees at 3:30. At 1 p. m. yesterday the mercury hit a high of 80 degrees. “The vaccine seems to be the only way of gaining immunity to the virus,” Dr. Lyons added. is some reason for the extra ordinary frequency of changes in the Soviet ruling group since the death of Stalin.” But he said any effoi’t to determine why the men in the Kremlin do what they do produces only highly spec ulative results. It isn’t known, he said, whether Zhukov is “actually degraded, or whether there is some other move contemplated.” Eisenhower attached one condi tion to his attending the meeting of the 15 member nations of the Noi’th Atlantic Treaty Organiza tion. He said that, “Assuming . . the majority of the heads of gov- einment accept I intend to accept.” It really wasn’t a condition, though, as NATO had announced houi’s earlier that the chiefs of government of the member coun tries would attend the session. The idea of bringing the chiefs of state together grew out of last week’s meetings here between Eis enhower and Prime Minister Mac millan of Britain. The two also agreed on a greater sharing of nuclear and scientific information in the free world as a means of countering Soviet ad vances in missiles and the conquest of outer space. For the United States, this will require lowering some of the secrecy barriers set up in the Atomic Energy Act. On that, the chief executive said he will have definite proposals to lay before the early December meeting of congressional leaders. Georgi Zhukov Causing Worry In Keel Regime By The Associated Press Continued silence on Mar shal Georgi Zhukov’s future indicates the Communist par ty has a tiger by the tail. Party boss Nikita Khrush chev apparently has touched off an internal crisis he wanted to avoid. Old soldier Zhukov may have proved just a bit tough to handle. In his chat with correspondents Tuesday night Khrushchev scoffed at reports the Communist party Central Committee was in session. But there are many indications to the contrary. Khrushchev has de nied many things which later turn ed out to be true. There can be little question that he has been trying to master a major political crisis. Here is one possibility—admit- edly speculative! Thei’e have been indications the party’s grip on the army-control through party spies in the officer corps and the ranks — has been slipping. Zhukov has resisted the system. The party demands complete subservience by all branches of Soviet life, including the military. Its authority is jeopardized if this control slips. Khrushchev and his party cohorts had to do something. They felt Zhukov had to be ous ted from dii-ect control over the armed forces. Confident he could swing it, Khrushchev had Zhukov removed as minister of defense. He was going to offer Zhukov another high position — perhaps . premier in place of Bulganin—but with no great shock to party, pub lic or army. Correction The story in Tuesday’s Bat talion on the college dining halls stated that students pay $1.45 daily for the three meals. In cor rection of the mistake: Stu dents pay only $1.35 per day for meals, or 45 cents per meal. —Battalion Staff Photo CHS Homecoming Queen Candidates Candidates for 1957 Consolidated Homecoming Queen to be crowned Friday night at halftime of the CHS-Cypress Fairbanks football game on Tiger Field, are (1. to r. stand ing) Millie Caughlin, Pat Jackson, Sue Ross, Margaret Huff, (bottom row) Suzanne Sor ensen, Nancy Ray, Marilyn McElroy and Ann Cleland.
