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. invasion
of her territory ‘wil be attempted
in the next’ few days.”
The memo charged that on
Sept 29 a plane from the United
States piloted by 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. Zorin, disuss-

submitted Tuesday night showed
the United States was following a
policy of “open military provo
cations Agatrtst peace - loving

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.

.. is th’ campus traffic always this bad?”
Sound Off —
Editor,
The Battalion:
In reply to Paul Guzzardo’s
letter in the Oct. 12 issue of The
Battalion. 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?

Editor,

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?

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.

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

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.

A group of women from the St.
Mary’s Catholic Church' of Col

fice until all name labels were
stuck on the nearly 8,000 enve
lopes to be used in the 1960

. line.
In addition to these 8,000 let-
