Journalism Which Succeeds Best —and Best Deserves Success— Fears God and Honors Man; Is Stoutly Independent, Unmoved by Pride of Opinion or Creed of Power . . . Waller Williams CSC — A Job Well Done Tonight members of the 1958-59 Civilian Student Coun cil will relinquish their authoritative governmental positions to a new and young body of men who will make up the 1959- 60 Council. It will take a vigorous, sincere, Aggie-loyal, intelligent body of men to effectively step into the shoes filled this year by the out-going Councilmen. The 20 civilian students who served as the voice of the Aggie civilians this year will be difficult to replace because of their outstanding job. It was no doubt the most efficient job yet to be done by a Civilian Student Council. They played a major role in every major student issue, including the honor code, the football seating situation, the parking situation, the ’59 Aggie Sweetheart selection, Par ents’ Day, faculty awards and many others. But most of all it must be pointed out that this year’s Council was a major spoke in the wheel that brought about better relations between the Corps and the civilian students, a problem that has blanketed the campus for several years. Other than Robert 0. Murray Jr., who acted as adviser to -the Council during the year, the fine results achieved by the members should be partly accredited to the Council officers. These officers, who toiled, sweated and lost grade points, for the betterment of the Council and the civilian students, were Tommy Beckett, president; Charles W. Gra ham, vice president; Jack E. Little, parliamentarian; Arthur Roland Dommert, treasurer; and Fred A. Pendleton, secre tary. But it was not only the officers who did the work. A lot of credit should go to A. M. Hoffpauir, chosen outstand ing councilman of the year, for the work he accomplished during the Civilian Weekend, the first successful “Week end” in civilian history. Still the success of the Council cannot be pointed to one group or one man, because it took the Council as a whole, working as a team to get the results . . . Beckett, Graham, Little, Dommert, Pendleton, Hoffpauir, Ben Havard, Don Houston, Sammy Ferguson, James Tucker, Dick Steadman, Raymond Cook, Harold Brown, Ted Shaver, Oliver Mulkey, Paul Mercer, Don Ingram, Fred Collins, James Crouch and William Richards ... it took them all. To the 1958-59 Civilian Student Council—Hats off! To the 1959-60 Civilian Student Council—Good luck! — Social Aggie Wives Bridge Club will meet in the MSC. Bridge will be played May 21. New officers for the summer are Joy Ellis, president; Barbara Machamehl, vice president; Mai'garet Sulli van, secretary; Marge Blake, treasurer; and Dodo Pitkerting, repoter-historian.

GENEVA — (A 5 ) — Trumpeter Louis Daniel Satchmo Armstrong blew into town Wednesday and offered to relax the East-West foreign ministers with his red hot music. “I don’t know nothin’ about politics,” he said, “but if I could get them cats the ministers to sit still and listen, well then, daddy, maybe I can relax them a little.” The' sun was hot and he mop ped his perspiring face. “Get them cats to relax,” he went on, “and daddy, they’ll just relax this tension in the world.” A reporter asked Satchmo if he thought Poland and Czecho slovakia should be allowed to sit in the foreign ministers meeting —a thing the Soviets want. Gromyko’s Tactics Leading Big Four Meeting in Geneva Editor’s Note—Max Harrelson, chief AP correspondent at the United Nations, has followed Soviet activities closely ever since the U. N. was formed. He currently heads the AP staff covering the Geneva confer ence. By MAX HARRELSON GENEVA (JP) — The slam-bang tactics of Andrei Gromyko have dominated the Big Four confer ence so far, even more than Wed nesday’s opening statements. The wily Soviet Foreign Minis ter has called most of the sig nals. He also stole a march in the social sphere by having each of the Western leaders to lunch eon before any of them could in vite him. His tactics are following a fa miliar pattern. These tactics have been used with considerable success at the United Nations and in Big Power parleys like the present one: The main idea: Raise snag af ter snag, then display a willing ness to compromise or even back down occasionally, then raise more snags. The object is to wear down the West and improve the Soviet bargaining position. After each snarl it always ap pears that the West came out ahead, but on some issues the So viets have accumulated enough small gains to add up over the years. That is certainly true of the Soviet campaign to give the Communist countries a bigger role in world affairs. At this meeting the Soviets have raised a whole series of what appeared to be pui'ely pi - o- cedural questions. These include the demand for a circular conference table and the issue of how many chairs the East and West German delega tions should have. On the surface these look like small potatoes. Add them to the Soviet efforts to bring in the two German delegations, the Poles and Czechs—as full partic ipants — and you have a major political issue. Everyone here agrees that the Soviets don’t expect to get all they are asking" for, but oh the basis of their past gains in push ing for Communist representa tion it is fair to assume they seek more than publicity. They won for the East Ger mans a limited right to speak. In their propaganda they claim much more, even insisting the Germans are full participants. It is a good bet that the West ern powers haven’t heard the last of this problem. The element that makes the Soviet snag-and-compromise tac tics successful is public pressure for East-West negotiations on cold war problems. This makes it difficult for the West to stand firm when it ap pears a few concessions might yield East-West harmony and avoid a breakdown of negotia tions. The trouble is that con cessions always bring more de mands. happy eating SAVINGS fir your familjCUfy „ foryou! -GROCERIES- Folgers Instant COFFEE 6-Oz.

SCHULTZ IS A MANY SPLENDORED THING Beppo Schultz, boulevardier, raconteur, connoisseur, sportsman, bon vivant, hail fellow well met—in short, typical American college man—smokes today’s new Marlboros. “Why do you smoke today’s new Marlboros, hey?” a friend recently asked Beppo Schultz. “I smoke today’s new Marlboros,” replied Beppo, looking up from his 2.9 litre L-head Hotchkiss drive double overhead cam shaft British sports car, “because they are new.” “New?” said the friend. “What do you mean-^-new?” “I mean the flavor’s great, the filter’s improved, the cigarette is designed for today’s easier, breezier living,” said Beppo. “Like this 2.9 litre L-head Hotchkiss drive double overhead camshaft British sports car?” asked the friend. “Exactly,” said Beppo. “She’s a beauty,” said the friend, looking admiringly at the car. “How long have you had her?” “It’s a male,” said Beppo. “Sorry,” said the friend. “How long have you had him?”/ “About a year,” said Beppo. “Have you done a lot of work on him?” asked the friend. “Oh, have I not!” cried Beppo. “I have replaced the pushrods with a Roots type supercharger. I have replaced the torque with a synchromesh. I have replaced the tachometer with a double side draft carburetor.” “Gracious!” exclaimed the friend. “I have replaced the hood with a bonnet,” said Beppo. “Land o’ Goshen!” exclaimed the friend. “And I have put gloves in the glove compartment,” said Beppo. NORTH GATE —WE DELIVER- COLLEGE STATION " tea mb, 'aaidfiePPo- “My, you have been the busy one,” said the friend. “You must be exhausted.” “Maybe a trifle,” said Beppo, with a brave little smile. “Know what I do when I’m tired?” said the friend. “Light a Marlboro?” ventured Beppo. “Oh, pshaw, you guessed!” said the friend, pouting. “But it was easy,” said Beppo, chuckling kindlily. “When the eyelids droop and the musculature sags and the psyche is de pleted, what is more natural than to perk up'with today’s new Marlboro?” “A great new smoke with better ‘makinV and a great new filter!” proclaimed the friend, his young eyes glistening. “Changed to keep pace with today’s changing world!” de clared Beppo, whirling his arms in concentric circles. “A ciga rette for a sunnier age, an age of greater leisure and more beck oning horizons!” Now, tired but happy, Beppo and his friend lit Marlboros and smoked for a time in deep, silent contentment. At length the friend spoke. “He certainly is a beauty,” he said. “You mean my 2.9 litre L-head Hotchkiss drive double over head camshaft British sports car?” asked Beppo. “Yes,” said the friend. “How fast will he go?” . “Well, I don’t rightly know,” said Beppo. “I can’t find the starter.” © 1959 Max Sliulman If you’re sticking with the good old non-filter cigarette, you can’t do better than Philip Morris—a mild, rich, tasty smoke, made by the people who make Marlboros.
