Journalism Which Succeeds Best —and Best Deserves Success— Fears God and Honors Man; Is Stoutly Independent, Unmoved by Pride of Opinion or Creed of Poiver • . . Walter Williams From Themselves Some anonymous Texas A&M students have gone on a binge of mischief recently, according to a report from the College Hospital. Approximately $75 worth of property has been removed from the Hospital in the past 6-8 weeks. Items—for the most part useless to anyone but the Hos pital—such as signs off the elevator door, the Cold Clinic door and the Emergency Room Door, along with rubber mats and surgical equipment have been taken. Dr. C. R. Lyons, director of the College Hospital, has appealed to the students who are suspected of the thefts to cease such actions. Students might realize they are not absconding property from the College but from the student funds, since the Hospital is supported by fees from Texas A&M students. The thefts have also been reported as far back at a year with an estimated 10-15 signs missing. Dr. Lyons said it was rather perturbing — which it is — to see these signs go since they are useful only to the Hospital. An appeal has also been sent to the students to report the mis chief if such action is known. Dr. Lyons also added he would do all possible to have the guilty party or parties penalized for such actions if their identity is revealed. In an effort to eliminate such thefts, the Hospital is going to close the rear entrance from noon Saturday until Monday morning. The thefts have been made primarily over the weekend with students entering unseen through the back door of the Hospital and making off with’items. The presumed route of escape has been in cars parked in the drive-way in the rear. The closing of the back door will put students using the Hospital on the weekend at a slight inconvenience since they will now have to walk around to the front to enter the Hospital where a nurse or attendant is on duty. But the recent removal of articles has also put the Hospital at some what more than a slight inconvenience. These actions mark the second time this year Texas A&M students have been on a mischevious rampage. Last February, members of the Corps of Cadets were guilty of tearing down the barricades on Spence Street. Again the students put a part of the campus at an inconvenience by blocking open routes from some parking lots to the main area of the campus. And students have again put them selves at an inconvenience by forcing the closing of the rear entrance of the Hospital for the weekend. The last report of thefts from the Hospital was Tues day night and has caused the Hospital officials to enact Prohibitive measures. However, the best prohibitive meas ures could come from the students to cease such trival ac tions. Property stolen from the Hospital does not come from College appropirations but from fees paid by the students. It goes without saying the students are stealing from them selves. In essence, the thieves now owe it to themselves. . . .

After getting out of the Air Force in 1958, Ed enrolled in A&M for the fall semester; his brother had just graduated from high school in Taylor, so Fred came to A&M, also. The two brothers, along with Ed’s wife, Lillian, moved into an apartment at 404 Hill St. in Bryan, where they lived until the spring se mester when they moved to A-14-A College View. In May of 1959, a third broth er, Norman graduated from St. Mary’s High School in Taylor and enrolled in A&M for the fall semester the same year. He planed to play football for A&M, and resided in Law Hall. On December 27, 1959, Fred got married, so he and his wife, Helen moved into Bryan, leaving the Ed Mannings living by them selves. But this didn’t last for long; in the middle of the present se mester, Norman moved from Law Hall and took up residence with Ed, his wife, and their two children, Steve, 3, and Teresa, nine months. He remained there approximately one month, and then moved once more to B-20-W College View to live with his other brother, Fred, and Fred’s wife, where he is presently living. Incidentally, Norman is a con firmed bachelor. Age-wise, the three brothers run as follows: Ed, 23; Fred, 20, and Norman, 18. But this does not comprise the entire Manning family, for there is also another brother, Ramond, who is 22 and in the Air Force, as well as a younger brother, Robert, 12, who lives in Markum, Tex. There are also two married sister, Mrs. Al fred J. Coco, of San Antonio, and Mrs. Jean Biggers, of Hous ton. A third sister, Billie Jean, lives in Houston, also. The Manning brothers showed great proficiency in football in high school; Ed played for the Roundrock High School team, along with his brother, Ramond, and made all-district two years in a row. Fred played for St. Mary’s in Temple • along with his brother, Norman during high school. Norman was on the all- state team his senior year, as well as being the outstanding senior boy in his- class. “One convenient similarity we have had at A&M is the fact that all three of us have owned our own cars since we’ve been here,” said Ed Manning. By The Associated Press CHICAGO — A University of ; Chicago sociologist, said today the American Negro is becoming more, not less, segregated in large cities. Philip M. Hauser, chairman of the University’s sociology depart ment and former acting director of the U. S. Census, said the Ne gro is gradually moving outward toward the suburbs, getting bet ter jobs and education. Other immigrants did this as in dividuals and became assimilated he said. But the Negro is moving as a group, taking his segregated ghetto with him. This results, he said, from color prejudice and the fact that Ne groes are arriving in metropolitan areas more rapidly and in greater numbers than did other immi grants. “Unlike his immigrant prede cessors, the Negro is becoming more, rather than less, segregated in American metropolitan areas,” Hauser said. Hauser told an international con ference of mayors that metropoli tan centers will face a crisis in human relations in the 1960s. This will result in part, he said, from the fact that though the Negro is fleeing segregated living, other groups want to live in enclaves and are resisting integration. “The test of our Democratic or der,” he said, “will lie not so much in a shift from segregated to in tegrated living, as in the free dom of a person or a group to live either in integrated fashion or in enclaves.” Among those resisting integra tion, he said, are Catholic national What’s Cooking The following clubs and or ganizations will meet tonight: 6:30 The Midland Hometown Club will meet at 6:30 tonight in front of the YMCA to eat out. 7:30 The Abilene Hometown Club will meet on the 2nd floor of the Academic Building.

GOBBET S ALTERATION SHOP North Gate - - — Advertisement — ROBBIE GODWIN LOOKS AT ■ ■ I r r Li I ■ Si The Chancellor of A&M College, Dr. M. T. Harrington, has made the pages of LIFE. Fie was one of 64 administrators that met in New York City. He is the fifth from the left on the top row. I will surmise that it will be in his collection, and rightly so, for how many people get in LIFE in their lifetime. LIFE’S visit to Texas this week takes them to the LBJ Ranch, where the private life of Lyndon B. Johnson, Democratic presiden tial hopeful, is brought in full view. A look at the rambling ranch dwelling an dthe LBJ family, all of which have the familiar initials, shows the reader the quiet side of the Senate majority leader. Then LIFE’s photographers took a trip out to far West Texas to watch high school students try to work out an Aeronautical problem in El Paso. The students tried an elongated space balloon on a theory that it would rise farther and faster than the conventional round one, but they couldn’t make the theory—or the balloon—hold air. Royal Wedding Looking as if her husband had taken the pictures himself, Prin cess Margaret and her commoner— professional photographer — hus band get the royal treatment in their wedding. As they left the harbor for their honeymoon, the message to shore was “Destina tion unknown—high seas.” The whole event is covered by LIFE’s photogs in this week’s spectacular. Spy Plane With the week’s events head lined around the American plane which the State Department has admitted was spying on Russian installations, LIFE’s photographers get some interesting background and highlight shots that tell more about the plane and its pilot. From reading the week’s news, j you know that by now some doubt about the plane’s being shot down exists. The plane used, the U-2, is shown before it takes off. The issue is building to a big showdown at the coming Paris conference, and LIFE’s men are on the scene of the breaking story. ' Conventions Friends, if you think the modern- day party conventions are riotous and full of excitement, you should have been around in 1912. The Democrats held their convention in Baltimore in July that year, and anything went. Walter Lord wrote the story for LIFE, taking it from his book, “The Good Years,” which will be published soon. T t is rr eyewitness report e: the event, and the color ful characters that were part of it, and the setting itself make exciting reading. Clarkoia Dick Clark, once the disc-jockey idol for many teen-agers is now the target of Senate investigation into the payola business. LIFE’S writers covered the first hearings, then went out and got some of the top stars’ views on the con troversial figure. They put it to gether with some pictures and came up with human interest, the kind of story that gives both sides. Germany in Arms Germany is beginning to show its military might again, with the Air Force already showing strength of 600 planes and 61,000 men, and the army planning a total number of 200,000 men. The army is supported by twelve brigades of U.S.-built M-48 tanks. The total armament of the army will be 6,000 tanks and 10,800 armored personnel carriers, mak ing the 35 brigades completely mobile. I he navy is to be equipped with a small fleet of about 150 destroy ers, U-boats, mine sweepers and patrol boats to protect the Baltic from Russian ships. The Germans will not have any big cruisers or carriers.
