And this week, one of the best pranks in many a year was uncovered at A&M. It seems a fictitious student named Thomas A. Dooley had been “attending” classes for sev en weeks. And until last week, the gag planned and executed by three seniors had worked like a charm. The non-existent student was registered in February by adding his name to a list b§ing circulated on the first meeting of a class. When the instructor did not catch the gag and assigned “Mr. Dool ey” a seat in the room, the men A&M Receives $1,500 Grant A $1,500 Du Pont Summer Re- wrote up the results of master’s search Grant has been received research as a thesis, took the oral by the Department of Chemical examination and received his mas- Engineering, Dr. J.

M. ROBERTS Associated Press News Analyst Fragmentary reports on Proj ect Argus indicate that the Unit ed States has found a way to continue testing atomic devices without creating fallout, and so has reduced a g^eat world polit ical problem produced by public fear. For years the peoples of the world, and especially the neutrals whom the United States would like to impress with her consider ation for their welfare, have been agitated over what continued testing might do to the human race. The Soviet Union has sought to play upon these fears by claim ing she conducts tests in self de fense only because, somebody else started it, and by proposing that the practice be stopped.

For that reason the West is un der political pressure not to break off negotiations at Geneva which never showed any real prospect of agreement. Under the new circumstances, however, when atomic explosions can be set off in outer space, with accompanying satellite missiles to report on their effect, tests can be continued while world op inion is reassured. There is a presumption, though not a positive one, that the Amer ican delegation at Geneva has been operating with the benefit of this knowledge which was a se cret from the Soviets.
