Baylor Delegation
Due Here Today
W. L. Penberthy told the Stu-
Jent Senate last night that W. C.
Perry, dean of men at paylor Uni
versity, and “two or three of his
assistants” were coming to A&M
this afternoon to discuss the brawl
staged by students of the two
schools of the Waco campus last
Friday night.
Penberthy, director of Student
Activities, said he gathered from
a telephone conversation with
Baylor officials Monday that
“they aren’t any happier with
A&M than Aggies are with Bay
lor.”
At least one physical fisticuff
and several verbal feuds were re-
poi’ted to have broken out at
Baylor after the basketball game
Friday in which Baylor defeated
A&M. No injuries or property
damage were reported.
The Baylor officials were sched
uled to meet with Col. Joe E.
Davis, commandant; Bennie A.
Zinn, director of Student Person
nel Services; Robert O. Murray
Jr., director of Student Affairs;
W IPs Marshall

George C. Marshall, who guided
the Airmy through World War II
as chief of staff, suffered a mild
stroke his waiter home Thurs
day.
The ^78-year-old general was
brought to Womack General Hos
pital here from Pir^hurst by am
bulance. His condition later was
termed satisfactory by Col. G. M.
Powel, chief surgeon at the hos-
pit|l.
Barlow (Bones) Irvin, assistant
athletic director; Penberthy; John
Thomas, Student Senate presi
dent; and Joe Buser, editor of The
Battalion. The meeting was set
for Zinn’s office at 3:30.
12th Man Bowl Talked
Other Senate business saw
Thomas set a tenative date for
the annual 12th Man Bowl for
“about a week before spring foot
ball training begins.”
In meantime, Chairman Bill
Myers and his Issues Committee
will decide whether the game will
match the Army and Air Force
ROTC, or a combination of the
two against a civilian team, or
two individual games with the
winner of the former facing a
civilian squad. A choice of hav
ing only the former game would
probably mean civilian students
represented on both teams.
This point and other informa
tion, such as the date, coaches
and admission, will be announced
later. Thomas said there was a
possibility that the game would be
played at night.
Campus Chest at $2,180
A corrected report from Don
Rummell, chairman of the Stu
dent Welfare Committee, showed
collections from the Campus
Chest as $2,180. Of this, Rummell
said 25 per cent had been contri
buted to World Universities, Col
leges Station Community Chest
and Bryan Tuberculosis Assn., and
five per cent more would probably
be given to the March of Dives.
The four new freshmen repre
sentatives to the Senate attended
their first meeting last night.
They are Tom Airhart, Stewart
Carpenter, Lee Mayfield and
Jack Paris.

Cold Weather
Sweeps Across
Entire State
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Winter’s latest assault on Texas
stacked snow up to seven inches
in the Panhandle yesterday and
then whooshed across the rest of
the state to tumble temperatures
all the way to the Gulf.
Whipped by winds up to 50
miles an hour in gusts, snow that
fell duiing the morning measured
from about an inch in the Amar
illo area to seven inches in the
northern section of the Panhandle.
The State Highway Department
issued a special highway advisory.
It read:
“All over the Panhandle roads
are iced over. Snow is drifting
badly on highways. Do not drive
except in emei'gencies.”
Boi'ger, Dumas, Sti-atford and
Dalhart had more than thi'ee inch
es of snow. Perryton had around
two inches. Visibility was cut to
a fourth of a mile at Dumas.
Some x'ural schools closed. These
included the Polo Duro community
school near Dumas, and the school
a at Stratford. At Cactus, 12 miles
north of Dumas, classes were dis
missed because of a power failure.
The snow stopped falling in most
areas during the morning and skies
staxted clearing at Perryton
around noon.
Approximately 350 A&M students are due to receive de
grees at the mid-year graduation tomorrow at 10 a. m. in G.
Rollie White Coliseum.
Dr. Paul Geren, executive vice president of Baylor Uni
versity, who on Feb. 1 will become executive director of the
Dallas Council on World Affairs, will deliver the commence
ment address. •
President M. T. Harrington will make the commence
ment announcements and present the speaker.
Corps Chaplain John H. Partridge, of Corpus Christi,
will give the invocation. Following will be the singing of
“The Spirit of Aggieland”, led by Robert D. (Smokey) Hyde,
head yell leader, of Wichita
Falls. Sammy J. Ferguson of
Atlanta, civilian chaplain, will

Rebel Warns U.S.
Against Intervening
HAVANA, Cuba CP)—Fidel Cas
tro warned Thursday that if the
United States ever attempts to in-
tei’vene in the executions of con
victed Batista war cximinals,
“there would be 200,000 dead in
the streets of Havana.”
He made the statement in a
speech befox-e the Havana Rotary
Club.
Earlier at an informal gathering
ts he emerged from his headquar
ters in the Havana Hilton Hotel
on his way to the club meeting,
Castx-o said if U.S. Maxines were
sent to Cuba, “200,000 gringos will
die.”
Gringo is a term used by some
Latin Amei'icans, often in a dexog-
atory sense, for U.S. citizens.
About 12,000 live in Cuba.
Castro referred to the Marines,
without elaboxation, at the close
of a bitter diatribe before 60 to
70 persons who surrounded him in
the Hilton Hotel lobby.
His threat presumably was
prompted by statements of some
U. S. congx-essmen that the State
Department should act to halt the
executions which have followed
the fall of Px-esident Fulgencio Ba
tista’s dictatorship.
The x-epoxted toll of the firing
squads rose Thursday to 195.
“We ax - e trying those who killed
20, 30 or 40 pei'sons,” Castro said,
“and they ask us to be humane!”
The beax’ded rebel, who now com
mands Cuba’s armed foi'ces, drew
applause with a reiteration of his
chai'ges that the United States
helped Batista with arms ship
ments and the assignment of a
U.S. military mission here.
