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. . . .

Manning Brothers Continue
Their Family Ties at A&M
By TOMMY HOLBEIN
Battalion Feature Editor
Brothers in a family are usu
ally pretty close, but in the case
of Ed, Fred and Norman Man
ning, brotherhood has continued
into college; all three are stu
dents at A&M.
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

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.
