Presenting a program that ranges
from Bach to special arrangements

The ensemble is composed of

New Highway Stripe
Puzzles Motorists
Changing the center stripe of
Texas Avenue in Bryan seems to
have many motorists who were
used to the old roadway wondering
which side of the street to drive
on, according, to Resident Engineer,
J. 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

this, said McLain, and many keep
driving in the old larie which is
now for north bound traffic.
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.

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.

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.
