Trinity Issues Ags Challenge To Bonfire Test Trinity University yesterday officially challenged A&M to a bonfire-building contest with notarized documents to A&M student leaders. However, there seems to be loopholes in the official docu- Jient. One is that the document states the contest is to take place during the respective homecomings of the two institutions. The A&M bonfire is constructed during the week be fore Thanksgiving, and the tradi tional battle with the University of Texas on Turkey Day is not homecoming. The document also erroneously states that A&M is “located, situ ated and domiciled in the City of Bryan,” not in College Station. The challenge came from Lou Rosenberg, president of the Associ ated Students of Trinity Uni versity, and reads like this: ’‘STATE OF TEXAS “COUNTY OF BEXAR “KNOW ALL MEN, BY THESE PRESENTS: “I, the undersigned, LOU ROS ENBERG, duly elected president of the Associated Students of TRIN ITY UNIVERSITY, in the City of San Antonio, County of Bexar, State of Texas, hereinafter re ferred to as CHALLENGER, do hereby declare unto the students of the AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE OF TEXAS, located, situated and domiciled in the City of Bryan, County of Brazos, State of Texas, and hereinafter referred to as CHALLENGEE, that “WHEREAS:. “Obviously, the aforesaid CHAL LENGER is known, recognized and positively determined to be a major power equal to, if not far surpass ing, outranking and superior to the aforesaid CHALLENGEE, more particularly in respect to school spirit; quality of student government; caliber of student body, faculty and staff; location, appearance and architectural ex cellence of its buildings, structures and edifices; excepting perhaps only the inconsequential considera tions of comparative sizes of phys ical plants and conceding the greater number of male students enrolled therein; and “WHEREAS: “Obviously the Homecoming fes tivities at present being planned, an-anged and organized by the CHALLENGER for the nine days beginning on November 5 and last ing until November 13, AD 1960, will without doubt be the finest period of Homecoming festivities in the collegiate history of the State of Texas; and “WHEREAS: “Obviously the bonfire to be built, kindled and lit by the CHAL LENGER during said period of festivities on honor of its alumni will not only surpass any such bon fire previously burned on such occasions but also any conflagra tion which may be contemplated, initiated or incinerated by the said CHALLENGEE in any feeble at tempt to equal, match or compete with said CHALLENGER’S said Bonfire. “NOW THEREFORE: “Be it known to all and sundry and I, the aforementioned under signed, LOU ROSENBERG, acting for and on behalf of the said CHALLENGER, do by these pres ents CHALLENGE and HAVE CHALLENGED the said CHAL LENGEE to try to surpass with their annual Homecoming Bonfire, that which we shall erect during said week of said Homecoming activities and in the process of which we shall incinerate a Cowboy (See CHALLENGE on Page 3) The Battalion Volume 59 COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1960 Number 8 Cancer Steps To Be Aired At Meeting Special fo The Battalion Advances in cancer research will be the featured topic at the annual meeting of District Nine of the Texas Division, American Cancer Society, to be held at Mrs. J.

Lighter Cadets Favored InTomorrowNight’s Battle Three Phase Nuclear Test Ban Presented By The Associated Press G E N E V A—Britain Thursday presented the Big Three nuclear test ban conference a three-phase plan for a global network of con trol posts to police a test ban treaty. British Delegate Sir Michael Wright said it was a six-year project that would create the basis for a working control system with in its first two years. The plan would provide for about 180 control posts, including 10 ships to ply the oceans and sample water and air for radio activity. First Phase The first phase—of four years— would cover the Northern Hemi sphere, including the United States, Britain, the Soviet Union and the Pacific nuclear test is lands. Eventually there would be 20 control posts on the Soviet mainland and one on the Soviet island of Kamchatka. Soviet Delegate Semyon K. Tsarapkin immediately protested that 15 would be enough on Soviet territory. He also urged that Australia and Africa be included in the first phase as nuclear test areas. Found Number Excessive Tsarapkin said he found the Union excessive because it has number envisaged for the Soviet large areas where no earthquakes occur which could be confused with nuclear explosions. U. S. Delegate Charles C. Stelle called the British plan a helpful contribution which went far to meet Soviet objections to the orig inal Western proposals of last May. The Soviets at that time sug gested that the first phase of any global control network should last four years. They called for it to provide for control posts in the Southern Hemisphere as well as control shops from the outset. Hi gg \! -/ ■ A&M-Trinity Grid Battle ... out-weighed, but favored Two Teams Renew Old Grid Rivalry The Cadet footballers head for San Antonio this week end for a renewal of some battles of the past with the Trinity ; • University Tigers. Although the Aggies are picked by the experts to win the contest, it should prove to be quite a test, since they are ' outweighed several pounds per man. The nucleons of the Tiger’s weight sits from tackle to : tackle. The heavist man is Jack Cowley, 258-pound right 1 tackle. Cowley is followed by Gene Gollareny,. right guard : who tips the scales at 249; Jim Huff, left tackle “weighing ; 245; and the “little” man is Harold Day, weighing 213 at the ;| left guard slot. As far as this season's* - | games the Tigers and Aggies fl are even, with a loss and a tie I each. Trinity tied with Texas I A&I in their opener and lost j to New Mexico State last week. The Aggie lineup has been shuf- ||i fled this week, partly by injury ; and for defensive purposes.

J.—An elec tion campaign promising rich re wards for the successful candi dates gets under way Monday as thousands of faculty members from universities and colleges in the United States and Canada be gin to nominate college seniors for Woodrow Wilson graduate fel lowships. In announcing the opening of the competition for the academic year 1961-62, Dr. Hugh Taylor, President of the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation, estimated that well over 9,000 students will be nominated by the closing date of Oct. 31. Designed to reduce a nation wide shortage of qualified college teachers, the program annually awards 1,000 fellowships for the first year graduate study at any university of the recipient’s choice in the United States or Canada. Candidates are elected only after rigorous screening and personal interviews by one of fifteen re gional committees of educators. Each elected fellow receives a $1,500 stipend for living expenses plus full tuition and family allow ances. Open To Graduates The program is open to college graduates mainly in the humani ties and social sciences. Both men and women are eligible, and there is no limit on the age of the can didate or on the number of years he may have been out of college. Those who receive awards are not asked to commit themselves to col lege teaching, but merely to “con sider it seriously” as a possible career. The program, designed to en courage college seniors of out standing ability to study for ad vanced degrees with faculty jobs as their goal, is administered by the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation under a $24,500,000 five-year grant from the Ford Foundation. Dr. Hans Rosenhaupt, National Director of the Wilson Fellowship Foundation, in an analysis of the past five years’ activities, reported that the highly selected grants have been awarded to graduates from 560 different colleges. This is convincing proof that many col leges throughout the country, not only the few well-known ones, of fer high quality education. Almost 90 per cent of all the 1,000 Fellows in 1959-60 continued study after the first year, and more than 75 per cent of all Fel lows eventually end up in aca demic positions. Of the nominated candidates who failed to win Woodrow Wilson Fellowships more than 80 per cent, Dr. Rosenhaupt Swimmers To Start Working—Page 4 said, went on to graduate school anyway, often with financial help from other sources. He estimated the annual need for new college teachers at 30,000 a year for the next ten years. No Direct Applications The Woodrow Wilson National | Fellowship Foundation does not accept applications directly from students. Every candidate for the | award must be nominated by a faculty member. Nominated stu dents are invited to declare them selves active candidates for the award by sending the necessary application forms to the chairman of the selection committee for the region in which the prospective candidate is now located. A list of the fifteen regions and the names of the regional chair men may be obtained from the .Foundation’s national headquar ters, Box 642, Princeton, N. J., or from the Woodrow Wilson repre sentative on any campus in the United States and Canada. Names of fellowship winners will be made known by Mar. 15, 1961. % V issa wBmBm i»sii Dinner-Dances Begin A near capacity crowd of A&M faculty and staff Dinner-Dance meetings.
