The annual Pan-American Week opens Sunday with an
explicit aim designed to promote good neighbor relations and
, understanding between Texans and citizens of the Latin
American counties. The program will run through April 30.
Moreover, the event is conducted in conjunction with the
Pan-American Week across Texas and will feature such activi
ties as a soccer match, a panel discussion, talks and films
on Latin American countries, arts and crafts exhibits, serving
of Latin American foods and a Cafe Tropical Dance.
All scheduled events are open to the public. And all
attending would doubtless find the event entertaining and
beneficial.
The soccer tournament includes Texas. A&M, the Uni
versity of Houston, Baylor University and Lamar Tech and
will open Sunday. A panel discussion featuring five Latin
American students from Guatemala, Mexico, Panama, Vene-
zula and Cuba will be conducted Monday. Activities continue
Tuesday with the showing of the Latin American movie,
“.The Magnificent Matador.” Wednesday and Thursday will
feature the showing of documentary films and the presenta
tion of Latin American entertainment in the Memorial Stu
dent Center. The weekend events will include perhaps the
outstanding event of the week with the appearance of Glenn
Garrett of the Good Neighbor Commission of Texas. Gar
rett will deliver an address related to the Pan American Week
activities—“Toward An Understanding of Pan Americanism.”
A Latin American Dance will conclude the Week Sat
urday.
Such an extensive array of activity and-emphasis toward
the improvement of Latin American relations would prove
beneficial to any in attendance—even if those attending are
present for relatively few events. The Week is a constructive
and beneficial event for representation of all groups on the
campus .. .

Second to One
The Texas A&M Pistol Team only recently received
notice of a second place finish in the National Intercollegiate
Pistol Team Matches in the Pistol Division for 1960.
An excellent performance was exhibited by the group as
they finished second only to the United States Military Aca
demy—and that by but seven points. West Point accumulated
1,415 points and the Cadets totaled 1,408.
Also, in the individual competition, the Cadets again
performed well as six of the team members placed, ranging
from third to thirty-second. There were 91 entries in the
meet.
For the year, the Pistol Team has participated in 16
pistol matches, while losing only one. However, four results
have yet to be reported.
Regardless, the proverbial congratulations are in order
for the Texas A&.M Pistol Team on the success of this season.
Their performance is a creditable asset to Texas A&M.
$250...
$250 is still waiting for the verbally prolific student of
Texas A&M who can best describe, in not less than 250 nor
more than 1,000 words, “The Advantages I Find at Texas
A&M.”
A relatively small number of entries have been submit
ted and the contest deadline is Monday. This year marks
the second for the contest, sponsored by C. L. Babcock, Texas
A&M graduate from Beaumont.
All entries should be submitted to The Battalion Office
by Monday. The essays must be in regular manuscript form,
double spaced with an original and two carbon copies.
Initial judging of the essays will be done by members
of The Battalion staff, but the final decision rests with a
special committee selected by President Earl Rudder.
In addition to the cash first prize, 10 runners-up will be
presented with certificates and all awards will be given at
the Student Publications Banquet May 13.
The contest is open to any full time student currently en
rolled in Texas A&M. However, the participation to date
has not been overly encouraging, although a number have
responded.
Last spring’s contest was a welcome success in its initial
year as the winning essay was published in the Congressional
Record and was distributed considerably across the state by
the Association of Former Students as well as being reprinted
in numerous Texas newspapers.
The contest is constructed to spread information of the
College and also prove beneficial to the students of Texas
A&M.
Some exceptional essays have been submitted, but time
still remains, brief as it may be, to enter in the contest.
Entries have nothing to lose and much to gain.
Like $250.. .
