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

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

“WHEREAS:.
“Obviously, the aforesaid CHAL

government; caliber of student
body, faculty and staff; location,

“Obviously the Homecoming fes

beginning on November 5 and last

period of Homecoming festivities
in the collegiate history of the
State of Texas; and
“WHEREAS:
“Obviously the bonfire to be

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.

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-

Scholarship Nominations Open
Special To The Battalion
PRINCETON, N. 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.
