ALL-OUT ACTIVITY BARRED
Mrs. Kennedy, Son
Score Progress
CADET SLOUCH
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON—Mrs. John F.
Kennedy and her infant son
scored further progress Monday
but her doctor barred all-out so
cial activity for the future White
House mistress for the next six
months.
Asked whether the go-slow sig-
Basic Info
Big Need
In Research
The big need now in plant dis
ease research is basic informa
tion to understand completely
the physiological action of chem
icals and their fate in soils and
on crops, Dr. Wayne C. Hall,
Dean of the A&M College Grad
uate School, said here.
Hall, a speaker at the second
annual Plant Disease Short
Course, said sensitive analytical
methods need development to de
termine accurately pesticide resi
dues and their effect on plants
as food and feed.
Until such information is avail
able, he said, established 1 recom
mendations must be followed re
ligiously to avoid undesirable and
toxic residues in plant commodi
ties and the possible outlawing
of essential agricultural chem
icals through public hysteria cre
ated by misinformation.
The dean, who also is a plant
physiologist, cited the cranberry
incident of a year ago. A large
portion of the 1959 crop was con
demned because of the residue
of what the government believed
to be harmful residues of a pest
icide chemical.
“Imagine the effect on our
cotton industry, for example, if
the same thing happened to it
nal would keep the president
elect’s wife from the Inaugural
Ball next Jan. 20, Dr. John W.
Walsh said: “We haven’t gotten
to that yet.”
Walsh stressed that the future
first lady is making perfectly
satisfactory progress. But he
said she just can’t be expected
to bear the full load of White
House social demands during the
normal six-month recovery pe
riod for mothers whose babies
are delivered by Caesarean sec
tion.
Meanwhile, John Fitzgerald
Kennedy Jr. made further gains
and Tuesday may be taken off
the special oxygen diet that is
normal for premature, Caesarean
babies. In a day or two, he prob
ably will leave the incubator
where he has been since last Fri
day when he arrived about a
month ahead of schedule.
If . he gets on well enough, he
may be ready to accompany his
mother when she goes to Palm
Beach, Fla., in about 10 days for
a recuperation vacation.
While the newest Kennedy ba
by was making good headway,
his big sister, Caroline, prepared
to celebrate her third birthday,
two. days late, with a party for
playmates at her Georgetown
home Tuesday.
Jacqueline Kennedy had pre
pared for the occasion with sev
eral “simple presents” which still
remain for Caroline to open.
At the mother’s request, no
pictures are to be made and no
details of Caroline’s party will
be divulged.

Brazos Association Gives
Gifts, Cash to Hospitals
Editor,
The Battalion:
This year you have every rea
son to be very proud of your
selves. You built a Bonfire un
der such adverse conditions that
I’m sure any similar undertaking
would have been abandoned at
any other college.
However, there were men
working, if you could call it that,
'around the Bonfire that should
have been banned from the area.
They seemed to look upon it as
an occasion for horseplay and
careless activity. Some of the
upperclassmen were as guilty of
this as the underclassmen they
were supposed to be leading. On
the first day of major Bonfire
activity, there were sixty acci
dents recorded, most of which
were direct results of careless
ness and all of which could have
been avoided if the men had tak
en time to just think a little be
fore they acted.
Next year most of you will
be leading other men in the task
of building the Bonfire. For the
sake of those men and for your
own sake, take the time to find
out what you are supposed to do
and how you are going to do it
before you enter the cutting area
or the stacking area. Try to
make next year’s Bonfire the
safest as well as the largest in
the history of our school.
Also, I believe the student body
of A&M should take time out to
thank two men who were con
stantly at their posts, directing
activity. These two men, work
ing almost around the clock, gave
more that what they considered
to be a fair share, of their time
to the Bonfire—they put their
hearts into this year’s Bonfire.
The two men—Homero Canales
and Richard Alvarado.

Associated Press News Analyst
The President’s Commission on
National Goals has produced a
compendium of the things the
United States has been trying to
do, with an admonition that she
must try harder.
By and large, the report repre
sents an endorsement of ideas
which have been under discussion
for a long time, and on most of
which starts have already been
made.
Increased national defense, re
duced unemployment, desegrega
tion, federal aid for education,
foreign aid with a touch of em
phasis on the military side, more
emphasis on science—all of these
have already become matters of
increased national cognizance.
All involve heavy spending
which the commission points out
will probably produce increased
taxes, even with expected in
creases in the national product
as a base for government income.
There is a call on the people
for national heroism in meeting
the problems, similar to the one
made by President-elect John F.
Kennedy during the campaign.
Indeed, there are few if any
fields covered by the report
which were not discussed by the
candidates or covered in the
party platforms, and the Amer
ican people are familiar with all
of them.

As a call for mobilization of
the American people, beginning
with the individual family,
against the background of their
traditional moral attitudes, the
report is remindful of passages
in several Eisenhower speeches.
The document makes small at
tempt to set up ways and means
by which the goals may be at
tained. Additional statements by
individual members of the com
mission show clearly that the re
sult of two years of effort is a
compromise.
Perhaps the report does leave
us floundering just as much as
ever over how to accomplish all
the good things which should be
accomplished.
But as a finely expressed sum
mary of national aspirations, of
national character and motiva
tions, and of responsibility in the
world, it is an historic document,
for other peoples as well as for
Americans.

Loves of Dohie Gillis”, etc.)
"THE INTELLIGENCE QUOTIENT OF
NED FUTTY”
Chloe McFeeters was a beautiful coed who majored in psychol
ogy and worked in the I.Q. testing department of the University.
She worked there because she loved and admired intelligence
above all things. “Hove and admire intelligence above all things”
is the way she put it.
Ned Futty, on the other hand, was a man who could take
intelligence or leave it alone. What he loved and admired above
all things was girls. “What I love and admire above all things
is girls” is the way he put it. •
One day Ned saw Chloe on campus aH was instantly smitten.
“Excuse me, miss,” he said, tugging at his forelock. “Will you
marry me?”
She looked at his duck-tail haircut, his black-rimmed glasses,
his two-day beard, his grimy T-shirt, his tattered jeans, his de
composing tennis shoes. “You are not unattractive,” she ad
mitted, “but for me beauty is not enough. Intelligence is what
I’m looking for. Come to the I.Q. testing department with me.”
'fllyoumryM?*
“Of course, my tiger,” cried Ned and giggled and smote his
thigh and bit Chloe’s nape and scampered goatlike after her
to the I.Q. testing department.
“First, I will test your vocabulary,” said Chloe.
“Be my guest,” laughed Ned and licked her palm.
“What does juxtaposition mean?”
“Beats me,” he confessed cheerfully and nibbled her knuckles-
“Flow about ineffable 1 !”
“Never heard of it,” guffawed Ned, plunging his face into
her clavicle.
“Furtive?”
“With fur on?” said Ned doubtfully.
“Oh, Ned Futty,” said Chloe, “you are dumb. Consequently
I cannot be your girl because I love and admire intelligence
above all things.” '
He flung himself on the floor and clasped her ankles. “But I
love you,” he cried in anguish. “Do not send me from you or
you will make the world a sunless place, full of dim and
fearful shapes.”
“Go,” she said coldly.
Lorn and mute, he made his painful way to the door. There
he stopped and lit a cigarette. Then he opened the door and
started away to his gray and grisly future.
“Stay!” called Chloe.
He turned.
“Was that,” she asked, “a Marlboro you just lit?”
“Yes,” he said.
“Then come to me and be my love,” cried Chloe joyously.
“You are not dumb. You are smart! Anybody is smart to smoke
Marlboro, the filter cigarette with the unfiltered taste which
comes to you in soft pack or flip-top box at prices all can afford
at tobacco counters, drugstores, groceries, restaurants and
trampoline courts all over America. Ned, lover, give me a
Marlboro and marry me.”
And they smoked happily ever after.

And if your taste runs to unfiltered cigarettes, you're smart
to try Philip Morris—from the makers of Marlboro. We
