a THE BATTALION PAGE 2 Wednesday, November 4, 1959 Worth Mentioning By Johnny Johnson We were sitting around the office we humbly refer to as the “Taker of Grade Points” the other night when some one suggested that I should write a column. After discussing the problem very carefully (about two minutes), the con sensus opinion was to have such a column. So here goes. Unlike most columns, this one will not deal specifically with one general topic or theme. It’s a collection of items that doesn’t make our news columns, comments on those that do and occassionally and anecdote or two. ★ ★ ★ The Aggie football squad received a 23-foot telegram prior to Saturday’s game with Arkansas that was signed by 2,111 Men of Aggieland. John Huebinger, fourth year architect major from Bry an, came up with the idea and passed it along to Cadet Colonel of the Corps Bill Heye Thursday afternoon. Most of the names were collected Thursday night and the remainder of the 2,111 paid their five cents Friday afternoon in the Me morial Student Center. Head Yell Leader Joe Leeper sent the wire. Congratulations are due Huebinger for providing the spark for the project.and everyone who contributed to ending the wire also deserves a pat on the back. ★ ★ ★ While on the subject of showing what cooperation be tween Corps and civilian students can accomplish, a thought for Corps and civilian leaders to ponder might be a weekly meeting at dinner to talk over problems pertaining to both groups. A system could be set up where the two groups of leaders dine one night a week together. The plan could be formulated where the leaders eat one week in the civilian dining room and the next week in the Corps dining facilities. Such a move would give both groups a better opportunity to understand each other as individuals and to gain insight into the problems of each. / ★ ★ ★ This week is certainly the week for entertainment, Last night’s Town Hall production is followed tonight by the Ag gie Player’s production of “Bus Stop” which continues through Saturday night. This weekend offers the Air Force Ball and a dance in the Memorial Student Center Ballroom Friday night, Saturday’s A&M-SMU game and the All-Col lege Dance Saturday night. ★ ★ ★ With the jangling of freshmen spurs resounding across the campus, things aren’t very quiet around the campus. For a story on when the wearing of spurs originated see tomor row’s Battalion.

JOHNNY JOHNSON EDITOR Panama Off Limits F olio wing Violence Social Whirl Wednesday Geology Wives Club will hold a sewing demonstration at the Bryan Sewing Machine Center in the Ridgecrest Shopping Cen ter at 8 p.m. PANAMA (AP)—Panama was off limits for Americans living in the Canal Zone today follow ing violent anti-U.S. demonstra tions during- the 56th anniver sary of Panama’s independence. At least 82 persons were injured, three seriously. Crowds of demonstrators, pro testing U. S. control of the canal, tore down the American flag at the U.S. Embassy Tuesday, stoned the embassy and the U.S. * Information Service office, over turned American autos and bat tled U.S. canal police for four hours. The mobs finally were routed by Panamanian National Guards men, Canal Zone police and fire men and U.S. Army troops armed with rifles, bayonets and ma- chineguns. The Canal Zone police arrested six demonstrators. Anti-American demonstrations also took place in Colon, Pana ma’s second largest city at the Caribbean end of the canal. One mob broke into a U.S. - owned railroad station and carried off the cash box. The ticket agent escaped by locking himself in his office. Troops from the Army’s Carib bean Command stood guard along the Canal Zone’s borders. The 90,000 Americans living in the Zone were ordered to stay inside the 500 square miles of U.S. territory. The Army cancelled plans for units in march in a Panamanian flag parade in the capital city today. The target of Tuesday’s out breaks — touched off by Pana manian nationalists — was the unusual hold the United States has over the zone. The United States was granted control of the zone in perpetuity after it helped the Panamanians win their independence from Colombia. In recent years Panamanian na tionalists have been demanding that their government establish its sovereignity over the one. While there was no evidence of government participation in the demonstrations, the govern ment frequently has complained that Panamanian employees of the Canal Zone Co. are not treat ed as well as U.S. employees and also that Panama should be paid more rent for the canal. SAFETY INVENTION JERSEY CITY, N.J. (AP) Anton Saleh has a patent pending on a new car device, a steering- wheel that collapses like a tele scope. When the driver is hurled for ward in an accident, the wheel column telescopes instead of ram ming into his chest. It can be raised or lowered and still turn but has one slight drawback. It costs $500. AGGIES Get Your Black Leather Gloves, Fur, Wool and Unlined; Also Our Big Supply Of Winter Coats. Jlottfudi Engineers) Scientists!
