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!

CADET SLOUCH

Satchmo Offers
Ministers Jazz
‘My classes seem somewhat restless this time of the year!
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.

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.

“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.
