<1 Page 2 THE BATTALION College Station, Texas Friday, October 21, 1960 CADET SLOUCH INTERPRETING Nikky Bangs A way At Reassurance By J. M. ROBERTS Associated Press News Analyst Soviet Premier Khrushchev seems to feel under some com pulsion to reassure the Soviet people, and others he wishes to impress, about eventual friendly relations with the United States. But maybe reassure is the wrong word. He kept banging away at the point while attending the United Nations—when he wasn’t banging Ministers To Conduct Lay School The Campus Ministers of A&M will hold a Lay School of Christ ian Studies beginning Oct. 25 at the St. Thomas Episcopal Parish House, 906 Jersey, College Station. The Lay School of Christian Studies will be held every Tues day evening from 7-9 p. m. The School will be in three quarters of nine weeks each. The first quarter will be on Biblical Studies with four differ ent courses offered. The second quarter, which will be held in the winter, will offer courses in Christian heritage and thought. The third quarter, or spring quarter, will offer courses dealing with Christian life and work. Anyone interested in enrolling in these courses is urged to call VI 6-6014, VI 6-6639, or VI 6- 6133. The following ministers will make up the initial faculty: The Rev. Melton Bulgerin, Lutheran; The Rev. John Combs, Methodist; The Rev. Arlen Fow ler, Presbyterian; The Rev. Al fred Johnson, Episcopal; and The Rev. Tom Shepherd, Christian Church. the table—and now he’s at it again as he report at home on his travels. At the same time he continues to emphasize that whatever is done as to disarmament and ease ment of tensions must be done at Soviet dictation, thereby making relations worse. In the back of Khrushchev’s mind there always seems to lie a connection between peace and power. That’s why he so often rattles his rockets or, as Thurs day, some other symbol of power such as rocket-launching nuclear submarines as background music for his peace talk. Adolf Hitler also went on rec ord, at one time, as conceiving his plans for European conquest to be the forerunner of an inte grated and therefore peaceful Europe under German control. If you tie his various state ments together, Khrushchev was saying, in effect, that the Soviet Union, being the military equal of the West, should have equal auth ority in the United Nations, through creation of a three-man secretariat, to hamstring any U. N. effort of which the U.S.S.R does not approve. Khrushchev says the refusal of the West to accept his disarm- mament proposals without con sidering any others is an ill omen for the future. He says the United Nations should approve his proposal for general disarmament with terms and controls to be worked out later by a 15-nation committee in cluding five neutrals. Last year he wanted a 10-na tion committee to “get even.” Now eventually the neutrals will side with the Soviet Union, even though he couldn’t get them to do so while in New York. That’s why he wants them included. So now he is saying to the So viet people and to the neutrals that, if the United States would just surrender, disarm and trust him to enter into guarantees later, relations would be better. Sound Off Editor, The Baltalion: The actions that took place at Midnight Yell Practice previous ly mentioned by the Editors of The Battalion, truly cannot be justified but they can be explain ed. It was the actions of an unruly and undisciplined bunch of boys that haven’t had the chance to beome men. The fault does not belong, to them or anyone else who is under the constant survelliance of the Trigon, the Academic depart ment, or the Corps Staff. No longer can an upperclassman take any measures to correct an error other than to advise the party not to do it again. Take a look at the men on disciplinary proba tion, and the civilians that would be in the Corps today except for the fact that they tried to cor rect a freshman. The Class of ’61 has the full responsibility on their shoulders, but what authority do they have to support this responsibility. None! We are an honored group of scapegoats, held responsible for only the sorry results of the radi cal changes made by a few offi cials who have no idea what the pride of A&M is. I, for one, say, ‘Give us back the Corps and see if we can do a better job than is being done now.” I know we can. M. I. Figart ’61 James Thigpin '61 Bill Smith ’61 G. W. Arnold ’61 R. L.

On the London market—pace setter for world exchange—a top price of 290 shillings—$40.60— per ounce was reported in the last minutes of trading. This was a gain of $5.18 an ounce for the day. The official U. S. Treasury price is $35 per fine troy ounce. Speculation that the United States might devalue the dollar by raising the gold price appear ed to be one of the chief reasons for the sharp rise in the price of gold. These reports brought a formal and flat denial from the U. S. Treasury. It holds $18.5 billion of the metal. If the high price holds in London, foreign central banks could demand American-held gold for their dollar assets and trans fer still more of it to European hands. So far this year $873 mil lion has been taken Prices of gold soared in other markets where trading is permit ted—it isn’t in the United States. In Frankfurt, Germany, the De- gussa Co., main supplier of the metal, ran out and the big three German private banks suspended sales at noon with the price at $37.68 per ounce. Sales are ex pected to resume Friday. Buyers in Zurich, Switzerland, paid $38 on ounce. London bank ers had held that the big rush to buy gold this week was sparked by Swiss banks seeking to turn dollar holding into the metal. Swiss banking circles said this was a minor factor. They con tended the movement started in Britain and claimed to be mysti fied as to the strength of the dollar following gold losses in the United States and speculation about devaluation. Stock prices of gold-producing companies rose sharply on ex changes in New York, Toronto, Montreal, London, Frankfurt, and Johannesburg, South Africa. In the African gold center, buyers skipped lunch in their frantic scramble for favorite gold shares. In New York, gold share prices eased in the afternoon from their morning highs. In Toronto the price of gold bars quickly jumped to $39 an ounce with brokers reporting a flood of American orders. In New York, the gold flurry brought political comment. Vice President Richard M. Nixon, Re publican presidential candidate, without referring specifically to rising gold prices, said in an ad dress that “those who loudly de mand very easy credit and arti- fically low interest rates” invite foreign banks to pull out billions of dollars in American invest ment and this could lead to an “unnecessary gold crisis” which could have “disastrous conse quences.” In Washington, the persistent rumors of impending devaluation of the dollar brought this formal denial: ‘The United States will continue its policy of buying gold from and selling, gold to foreign governments, central banks and under certain conditions, interna tional institutions, for the set tlement of international balances or for other legitimate monetary purposes, at the established rate of $35 per fine troy ounce, exclu sive of handling charges.
