THE BATTALION Page 2 College Station, Texas Tuesday, October 18, 1960 BATTALION EDITORIALS Creature of Habit Bryan Attorney John M. Barron is once again well along the road to the U. S. Supreme Court. And once again he is carrying the burden of a thrice-defeated suit designed to get women into Texas A&M. He has been up this road before, only to be thrown down without a chance to even speak his piece. Yet this time, he dubbed the Texas courts “only formalities” clearing his way to the high court. This journey up and down could con tinue indefinitely unless the U. S. Supreme Court reviews the case and hands down a judgment. His case in the Supreme Court, if it goes, will be based on the 14th Amendment, concerning equal protection of women’s rights under the law. Barron’s persistence toward getting women into Texas A&M is becoming a creature of habit. And although you can belabor it, you can not dissuade it, yet . . . Fly there. it's tester by ter!

Ronnie Bookman Staff Writers Jim Reed and Ken Coppage Photographers CADET SLOUCH Lack of... It seems that men who are of the age and of the maturity to study subjects such as thermodynamics, Shakespeare and qualitative analysis along with planning their future, would also be of the age and of the maturity to practice social courtesy. But last Friday, the actions of the students in the Corps of Cadets would doubtless be unequalled—for lack of social graces—by any college in America. Midnight Yell Practice has long been a rowdy affair on the Texas A&M campus, but seldom has it gone out of bounds. It did last Friday. Take a look at some of the ‘occurrences’: The pregnant wife of a Texas A&M student was overrun by a surging mass of students-' Head Coach Jim Myers was lunged by numerous students who derided the mentor from the security of the vast throng; the band was disrupted en route to The Grove by onrushing students; tissue paper, which had previously been banned, again filled the air—and a bass horn. Actions such as these can’t be justified, or explained. There are, however, some social guestures that should come naturally. Gestures like respect for women. Then, too, if anyone has any comments for Coach Myers, an appointment could doubtless be arranged with the grid mentor to discuss the situation, rather than utilizing unorganized derision from the depths of an unruly throng. The blame, if any is to be placed, would naturally fall to the senior class: the Class of ’61. If the seniors had been enforcing the standards they have the authority to execute, the remaining classes would have been obligated to follow suit. There is an epigram on the Texas A&M campus that is relatively popular with students in the Corps of Cadets: ‘Stand Up and Be Proud.’ But when you sit down and think about it can you actually ‘Stand Up and Be Proud?’ Til „ DAYLOR by Jim Earle jj.

M. ROBERTS Associated Press News Analyst Harold MacMillan, despite the bruises he collected at Moscow in 1959, at Paris in May, and at the United Nations two weeks ago, is still an ardent advocate of summitry. He thinks the German situa tion, if nothing else, demands a new summit meeting. Richard M. Nixon, one of the men who may be next president of the United States, is keeping the suggestion of new negotia tions with the Soviet Union on the back burner in his campaign. So is his opponent, John F. Kennedy. Nixon, instead of pursuing East-West summitry as desired by MacMillan and as heretofore practiced, has outlined a pro gram designed to take the ini tiative in economic warfare through greater cooperation among the free nations outside of the United Nations. Kennedy, in his major foreign policy outline, also soft-pedaled summitry and the United Na tions, addressing himself in many respects, though by different means, to independent cold war measures similar to Nixon’s. Kennedy’s statements on these matters came before the spec tacle of Soviet Premier Khrush chev at the United Nations and the emergence of the current strong neutalist trend among the smaller and newer nations. Nixon’s statement follows these events, and he appears to be taking a line that the free world must organize regional resist ance in the cold war away from the Soviet U. N. disturbance. He is not clear on whether he intends this to be a corollary or a break with President Eisenhow er’s outline before the United Nations of an economic program for Africa to be conducted through that organization with U. S. support. MacMillan is in considerable agreement with Kennedy on the question of disarmament, a field which Khrushchev threatens to boycott in future negotiations unless they are conducted along the lines he demands—a summit meeting of all nations within the United Nations. Both Kennedy and MacMillan have proposed an approach through technical committees which would seek out what is technically possible before polit ical discussions begin.

TUESDAY “CIRCUS OF HORRORS” with Anton Diffring Plus “THE ANGRY RED PLANET” with Gerald Mohr SOSOLIK’S TV ■ RADIO - PHONO SERVICE 713 S Main TA 2-1941 By The Associated Press VIENNA, Austria—Mark I. Kaminsky today denied that he carried out espionage in the So viet Union. He said he pleaded guilty to the Soviet spy charge because he was told that would get him a light sentence. Kaminsky, 26, a teacher from Cass County, Mich., was sen tenced by a Soviet court to seven years imprisonment, but his sen tence was suspended and he was deported. Denies Charges Kaminsky’s traveling compan ion, Harvey C. Bennett, 26, of Tracy, Calif., who was expelled with him, also denied the an nouncement by Moscow radio that he had “denounced” Kamin sky as a spy during the trial. The pair arrived in Vienna Monday night, coming via Czech oslovakia. They told the U. S. Consulate they would leave for the United States as soon as pos sible. The two men at first refused to see newsmen, but U. S. Em bassy officials later persuaded them to hold a news conference to tell their side of the story. Took Notebook “They told me it would be foolish not to plead guilty,” Ka minsky told newsmen. “I was gathering information for a book on the subject ‘The Soviet Union Talks Peace While Preparing for War.’ They took my notebook from me and said the information I had been gathering on such facts as that there are soldiers everywhere in Russia was es pionage under Soviet law. “The name Powers (U2 pilot Francis Gary Powers) popped up many times. In fact they said, ‘Powers was in the air, Kaminsky on the ground.’ ” Kaminsky smiled often during the news conference. He said he was sometimes questioned eight hours a day. No Brainwashing But he said: “We were not brainwashed and the treatment was very good.” Bennett said: “I explained to the Russians that Mark was writing a book and that was why he gathered information. But I had to agree that this was not the sort of activity that a normal tourist would do. “However, I never denounced Mark. We agreed before they separated us that I would stay out of^he whole thing.” Kaminsky said they were seized Aug. 25 when they tried to leave the Soviet Union on the Soviet-Czechoslovak border.
