Lowden, president of the Dallas A&M Club, last week urged civilian students to attend the party in Dallas following the Texas A&M-Southern Methodist University football game. “This party is for civilian stu dents and students in the Corps of Cadets,” he said. ‘But there appers to be lag in the ticket sales to the civilian students and we feel that they may have the feeling it is strictly for the Corps of Cadets.

ROBERTS Associated Press News Analyst Despite his deadlines and talk about not being able to wait, it is hard to believe that Soviet Premier Khrushchev will pro voke a really serious crisis over Berlin next spring. His latest threat is primarily an attempt to divide the West, with the British going for pre ventive summit conference, the United States reverting to the wariness of previous years, and France all bound up in her own precarious affairs. Khruschev may also wish to try out the new American presi dent as quickly as possible, as a factor in fashioning his own propaganda line. He knows, however, that there is no possibility of changing Western views about Berlin, the city is the symbol of the whole unsettled German question, and of the Anglo-American commit ment to defend Western Europe. Berlin is not merely an offshore island, or a matter of principle. Berlin and West Germany repre sent Europe’s front door on the Communist sphere, and there is no possibility that it can be iorced without producing a gen eral war. Khrushchev may sign his sep arate peace with East Germany. That is meaningless, since Soviet control there will remain un changed, unless the Communist puppets are ordered also to block Allied access. And that is some thing Khrushchev will probably wish to hold in reserve rather than run the risks involved. The worst cold war beating Sta lin ever took was when he tried to blockade the city in 1948, and Khrushchev undoubtedly remem bers. Allied determination was made dead at the Washington meeting of foreign ministers prior to the abortive Paris conference in May. Rather than face the turndown he would have gotten then, Khrush chev blew up the conference. Nothing has changed to give him hope that he will fare any better next time. Both the presi dential candidates in the United States know that Germany is the key to the whole free world posi tion. Whoever is elected will, of course, be faced with an early decision about whether to let Khrushchev have his summit con ference at all. In this, British Prime Minister Harold MacMil lan will probably carry the day with his idea that no more serious crisis will be created while talks are pending or under way.

The prize this year—eight hundred pounds of white putty—goes to the Signa Phi Nothing chapter of .the South Dakota College of Dentistry and Renaissance Art. The award this year is exceptionally richly deserved, for the Signa Phi Nothing house is the very model of all a fraternity ^should be. It is, first of all, a most attractive house physically. The outside walls are tastefully covered with sequins. Running along the upper story is a widow’s walk, with a widow stationed every three feet. Moored to the chimney pot is the Graf Zeppelin. Indoors, the house gives an impression of simple, casual charm. The chapter room is furnished in homey maple and chintz, with a dash of verve provided by a carp pool three hundred feet in diameter. A waterspout rises from the center of the pool with the housemother bouncing on the top. Members’ rooms are gracious and airy and are provided with beds which disappear into the wall—permanently. Each room also has a desk, a comfortable chair, a good reading lamp, and a catapult for skeetshooting. Kidney-shaped desks are avail able for kidney-shaped members. Perhaps the most fetching feature of the house are the packs of Marlboros stacked in heaps wherever one goes. If one wishes to settle back and enjoy a full-flavored smoke, one needs only to reach out one’s hand in any direction and pick a pack of Marlboros—soft pack or flip-top box—and make one’s self com fortable with a filtered cigarette with an unfiltered taste—that triumph of the tobacconist’s art, that paragon of smokes, that acme of cigarettes, that employer of mine-Marlboro! & PEANUTS PEANUTS /Ail over the\ IDOKID CHILDREN ARE lidM LETTERS, TO THE "GREAT PUMPKIN" THE lUHOLE TRODBLE WITH YOU 15 YOU'VE (SOT THIS'6REAT PUMPKIN'MIXED OP WITH5ANTACLAU5' THI515 BECAUSE ON HALLOWEEN NIGHT HE RISES OUT OF THE PUMPKIN PATCH, AND FLIES THROUGH THE AIR (WITH A BIG BAG FULLOFTOYS' I; J A|)(x) j: 60 IF YOU'RE A GOOD o LITTLE GIRL,SALLY,HE'LL BRING YOU SOMETHING,TOO!

But a fraternity is more than things; it is also people. And it is in the people • department that Signa Phi Nothing really shines. Signa Phi Nothing has among its members the biggest BMOCs on the entire campus of the South Dakota College of Dentistry and Renaissance Art. There is, for instance, William Makepeace Sigafoos, charcoal and bun chairman of the annual Stamp Club outing. Then there is Dm Ravin, winner of last year’s All-South Dakota State Monopoly Championship, 185 Pound Class. Then there is Rock Schwartz, who can sleep stand- ing up. Then there is Tremblant Placebo, who can crack pecans in his armpits. Then there is Ralph Tungsten, who went bald at eight. But why go on? You can see what a splendid bunch of chaps there is in Signa Phi Nothing, and when one sees them at the house in the cool of the evening, all busy with their tasks- some picking locks, some playing Jacks-or-Better, some clipping Playboy—one’s heart fills up and one’s eyes grow misty, and one cannot but give three cheers and a tiger for Signa Phi Nothing, fraternity of the year!
