4 BATTALION Page 2 College Station, Texas Thursday, October 20, 1960 CADET SLOUCH * <11IW H fi I lYfiV»i M»* BATTALION EDITORIALS K Outside Intrusion The Southwest Conference ruling that Reveille can no longer run loose at the football games has dampened Texas A&M spirit during halftime. Basis of the ruling was two reported incidents occuring two years ago when Rev bit a game official and a rival coach. Did the conference officials take into consideration the the consequence of their ruling? Were they at last Saturday’s game to hear the demands of the entire student body when they saw Rev could no longer carry the tradition that has been hers for over 20 years ? How serious were .the wounds inflicted by Rev two years ago? Are the recipients still suffering? The ruling states a dog cannot set foot on a Southwest Conference field without a muzzle. But it says nothing of putting hobbles on “midget mustangs,” muzzles on bears, rings in the noses of steers or muzzels on razorback hogs. '• Rev won’t run with a muzzle. The point has also been raised that Rev’s antics on the field distract from the Texas Aggie Band’s performance. But none of the members of the Band have protested her presence, to date. Also, no members of the college faculty and staff have protested letting Rev loose during halftime. Thus, the protest against Rev has come entirely from sources outside Texas A&M. This exterior invasion on a popu lar Aggie tradition has been met with complete distaste by the entire College. Should an outside source have the right and privilege to intrude upon and change the traditions of a single school in the SWC without making the ruling uniform throughout the conference ? Should a governing power use a minor incident occuring over two years ago to quell a colorful and a time-honored tradition ? Soviets Support Castro’s Charge by Jim Earle Day Student INTERPRETING Cadet Office United States Finally Moves To Enforce Ike’s Promise that a large-scale U.

S. airmen dropped guns and ammunition in the Cuban mountains to strength en counterrevolutionary elements ‘seeking to establish a beachhead for the large-scale invasion.” It said “the State Department, the Pentagon and the United States monopolies” were involv ed jn this and in a “landing of mercenaries coming from Flori da” that took place in eastern Cuba early this month. The memorandum said three United States citizens, Anthony Zarba, Allan D. Thompson and Robert 0. Fuller, were among •those arrested in the landing par ty. The three later were executed. UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.— The Soviet Union quickly sup ported a new Cuban charge in the U. N. General Assembly that the United States is planning a large-scale invasion of Fidel Cas tro’s Caribbean country. Soviet Deputy Foreign Minis- ter Valerian A.

Cuban Foreign Minister Raul Roa told a reporter Cuba wanted the full 99-nation assembly to consider the complaint directly rather than send it to a commit tee first. The 21-nation Steering Com mittee was expected to meet early next week to recommend to the assembly whether it should take the complaint on its agenda and, if so, where the debate should first take place.

I would like to name him some things which I think have changed the “Texas Aggie Spirit.” I really don’t think freshmen know what kind of school Texas A&M is as far as traditions, etc. are concerned. Last year, some of the frosh didn’t bother to learn “The Spirit of Aggieland” until the middle of the second term. They just didn’t seem to care. When I was a freshman, we went to Yell Practice to yell, and if we didnt yell on our own, there was always a sophomore there to make sure we did. Now, sophomores don’t say a word to freshmen for fear of getting kicked out of school. And, since the frosh were not maijle to yell last year, some of them could care less about yelling this year as sophs. Someone will probably say that there are plenty of juniors who don’t yell either. Trus, there are some, but at least they yelled as fish and sophs. Another thing which is fast becomming old fashioned is meet ing people. Who needs to? Some one thought up the use of name- tags so that the frosh won’t have to bother meeting someon to learn his name. I’m getting tired of freshmen (and sophomores) passing me on the street and mis pronouncing my name because they’ve never met me to find out how its pronounced. Let’s be truthful with our selves. If A&M doesn’t have any more to offer than the other col leges with ROTC why should a freshman come here when he can go elsewhere and get the same kind of commission? Edwin N. Broesche 62 ★ ★ ★ Editor, The Battalion: Texas A&M has the distinction of being one of the few military colleges in the United States, yet when a person drives on the cam pus and notices the very poor condition of the rags used as flags, he might wonder about the pride the Aggies have for their country. Can’t we obtain some decent flags to fly over Aggieland? Carlos S. Worley ’61 James W. Cravens ’61 John Minor ’61 Milton R, Martin ’61 Charles H. Rollins ’61 Rrian R. Scales ’61 James E.

Berger ’60 Now In Hart The A&M day student cadets will have a new, fully furnished headquarters on the campus starting Monday, according to Glenn Jones, day student liaison officer. Headquarters will be located in the old college information office, in the northwest corner of Hart Hall. The office will contain six desks; occupying the location will be the 5th Battle Group com mander, Clyde Hale; commander of Company I, 2nd Brigade, Roy Simmons; David Coleman, com mander of Company K, 2nd Bri gade and William Vance, com mander of Squadron 14 Jones will also have an office in the day student affice besides his regular office in Corps Staff Headquarteds. Dorm 2. “We requested the headquar ters last year when we found the college information office was to be moved. The ideal location of the office was recognized as a perfect headquarters for all the day students,” said Jones. Jones said the commanders had begun moving into the office last Monday, and by this Mon day, the office should be in oper ation. Day student cadet bulletin boards will be moved from their old location in the loungt of Hart Hall to the new office, also. Commanders will have sche duled times in the office for in terviews and questions from their men. It is also planned that a cadet will be on duty in the head quarters 24 hours a day in the future. By J. M. ROBERTS Associated Press News Analyst The United States, embargoing a major portion of the trade which still exists with Cuba, has moved at last eo enforce the Ei senhower promise that a base for international communism will not be tolerated there. By doing so, Washington takes the second major step on a road which appears to lead, without al ternative, toward an all-out ef fort to eliminate the Castro re gime. It is not a step without ele ments of danger. As an economic sanction, its practical effect is to formalize a situation which was already fol lowing natural courses toward the same effect. Exports to Cuba have been falling off because the customers couldn’t pay, and because the credit of the Cuban government, which has been nationalizing more and more Cuban as well as foreign business, is no good. As a political tour de force it will frighten some of the neutral countries. They will see in it the same rug-jerking dangers which the United States keeps telling them could result from their trade tie-ups with the Soviet Un ion. The United States is hoping that last weeks representations to the United Nations, the long Brazos TB Assn. Workers Label 8,000 Envelopes list of Cuban provocations, will offset this. There is also the danger of pro- dusing even greeted provocations from the wild-man regime in Ha vana, such as some act against ,] the Quantanamo naval base, j against Americans still resident in Cuba, or a complete break in diplomatic relations. All of these things were con sidered, and their dangger con sidered less, on balance, than the danger of letting Soviet Premier Khrushchev bluff his wayy into the hemisphere. The thought that Khrushchev is disillusioned about Cuba Prime Minister Fidel Castro, after see ing his antics in New York, is, after all, only speculation. m Social Calendar The following clubs and organ izations will meet Thursday: The Panhandle Hometown Club will meet at 7:30 in Room 206 of the Academic Building.
