HOTARD’S Cafeteria 11 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. — 5 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. freshmen and those students from other colleges who transfer less than 30 semester hours of credit. Ransdell said these testing and counseling sessions help the stu dent to learn more about himself and assists in evaluating areas of strength and weakness. They are beneficial to students and staff members in regard to placement in courses and to provide bases for follow-up counseling. Schedule and site of the one-day tests follow: May 30, Ballroom, Memorial Student Center; June 13, Chemis try Building; Aug. 8, Chemistry Building; Aug. 22, Chemistry Building. All are at 9 a.m. Dates for the two-day testing and counseling clinics are June 19-20, June 26-27, July 10-11, July 31 and Aug. 1, and Aug. 14-15. All are scheduled for 9 a. m. in the Chemistry Building. Students attending either of the two summer terms at the Adjunct at Junction will take the required tests after reporting there. The first testing period at Junction is scheduled for June 8-9 and the second is set for July 20-21. The required battery of tests will be administered at the Ad junct only to those young men who have been accepted for en rollment there. They will not be re quired to repeat the tests here. Those who have applied for Op portunity Award Scholarships, and who have been authorized by the Faculty Scholarships commit tee of the college to take the tests which are part of the competition for these awards, must take the tests either Saturday or May 2. They will be administered at 12:45 p.m. in the Chemistry Building. These scholarship applicants will not be required to take placement tests at another date. j For those taking advantage of the special two-day testing and counseling clinics, tests will be given on the first day and the second day will be devoted to coun seling with the students regarding test scores, background and pro posed goals at A&M. Ransdell said that the student will profit most by taking the tests early. “However, if the student is un able to take the tests at one of the scheduled periods, then he may i take them by reporting to the campus on Monday, Sept. 14, the day before the beginning of New Student Week,” Ransdell said. Students who take the tests at one of the scheduled periods will report to the campus on Tuesday, Sept. 15, for New Student Week. Ransdell said that while one of the scheduled dates is not ab solutely mandatory, the students taking the tests prior to Septem ber will have some advantages. “The opportunities for counsel are our real motive and at the earlier sessions more time will be available for analysis and subse quent counsel where this counsel appears necessary or advisable,” he said. The dean continued that this analysis and counseling can be done in time to afford remedial or corrective measures where appro priate, and recommendations for advanced courses can be arranged for young men who might profit from them. It is estimated that West Vir ginia has coal resources sufficient to last 400 years at the present rate of production. BATTALION CLASSIFIED WORK WANTED DAY AND NIGHT NURSERY.

Communists Set Warsaw Meeting MOSCOW (A*)—Communist China joins the Soviet Union and seven European Communist na tions next week in Warsaw to dis cuss world Communist objectives for the foreign ministers confer ence in Geneva. The announcement Tuesday by the official Soviet news agency Tass failed to make clear whether the Communist Chinese will be present with the Warsaw Fact na tions as an observer, or as full participant. The meeting is called for April 27, two days in advance of a West ern strategy meeting in Paris to examine positions with relation to the May 11 conference in Geneva. The Tass announcement said the Warsaw Pact meeting “will re view questions connected with the coming Geneva talks concerning Germany, including a peace treaty with Germany and the question of abolishing the occupation regime in Western Berlin.” Whether Communist China is present as full participant or ob server, its attendance indicates an intention to present a solid Com munist world front to defend and advance Soviet positions in Eu rope. The communique’s wording in dicated the red bloc hopes to re strict the Geneva foreign minis ters’ conference to discussion of the twin Soviet demands—a pro posal to make West Berlin a “free city” without occupation forces, and an insistence that the two sides in the cold war sign peace treaties with both West and Com munist East Germany. The Warsaw Pact is a military alliance of the Soviet Union with the Communist-governed states of Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania, Albania and East Germany. The pact came into being in 1955 as a Communist response to the West’s moves to rearm Western Germany. Red Chinese Communes Faci Money Troubli TOKYO (/P)—Red China dis| closed Tuesday its peasant com-] munes are in trouble and will neec both a subsidy and tax relief tc bail them out!. Chairman Mao Tze-tung launch ed the communes last year withl the hope that these big camps,! now harnessing the labor of a| large percentage of China's 500p million peasants, would give quick : mpetus to his progam for a “great] leap forward.” Sober facts came out in a report J of Finance Minister Li Hsien-nien on the 1959 budget to the National People’s Congress, the rubber- stamp Parliapient, in Peiping. Radio Peiping said: By order of Sao and the Com munist party Central Committee, a subsidy of a billion yuan will be used fa*- pump-priming in com munes and production brigades which are lagging. The subsidy—the equivalent of 435 million dollars by Peiping’s reckoning—indicates that many ire in straitened circumstances. In addition, the 7 per cent agri cultural tax of 1958 will be cut to 5.2 per cent. With all this, the communes are expected to contribute a smaller percentage to Red China’s over- I all revenue that they did last year. Li said they will yield 11.3 per cent of 5,887,130,000 yuan of the expected 1959 revenue of 52,010,- 000,000 yuan. This compares with a contribution of 13.7 per cent last year, wher^ the government’s income was about 10 billion yuan less. The Chinese consider the yuan worth 43.5 cents. Some of the increased revenue will go to Red China’s armed forces, estimated to number thre< million. GET SATISFYING FLAVOR... So friendly to your taste! No f lot "filtered-out''-Flavor!
