Tech Wants Name One reason for not accepting the board’s recommended change, Moore said, was the fact that “if we introduced a bill to change A&M to A&M University, Texas Tech would soon introduce a bill to change their name to Texas State University, and we would lose our chance for that name for ever. Moore said he felt sure the bill would be passed before the legisla ture adjourns. However, A&M President Earl Rudder told a group of student leaders Tuesday night he believed the change would be ‘a gradual thing.” President Rudder said it would be impossible to tell right away just how a name change would effect the school, but expressed doubt that any change would ser iously influence established school traditions. legion IX Bridge Tourney Scheduled ijfies who can play bridge are ad to enter the Region IX As- liation of College Unions Bridge mament, which will be held |U-9 on the campus.

The skilled team of weapons demonstrators with the unit will show ROTC cadets, other students, faculty members and their friends some of the latest weapons devel oped by the Army for today’s Army and the Army of the future. Among the weapons to be dem onstrated will be the recently-an nounced LAW, the 414-pound, dis posable light antitank weapon; the 40mm grenade Launcher that looks like a sawed-off shotgun; the air defense Redeye that follows its target by the heat generated by the plane; the all-purpose M-14 rifle that has replaced an entire conglomeration of small arms, some dating back to World War I, and the new light M-60 machine gun that can be fired by a soldier holding it over his head.

But hitter clashes loomed on the Congo crisis and disarmament as delegates from 99 nations met in the big blije and gold assembly hall after an 11-weeks recess. They listened at the outset to a plea from Ghana’s President Kwame Nkrumah that the United Nations restore order in the Con go and keep that country out of the cold war. Wearing a Western-style busi ness suit with a white handker chief in his breast pocket, Nkru mah spoke quietly but forcefully in excellent English with an ac cent that reflected his African tongue. Broad Program He proposed a broad program for the Congo that would include establishment of an all - African U.N. Command in that country and provide eventually for new parlia mentary elections under U.N. su pervision. The U.S. and Soviet positions were set forth in advance of Nkru- mah’s, 12,000-word speech. Adlai E. Stevenson, chief U. S. delegate, declared the United States was going into the session firmly determined to do all it can to alleviate the cold war instead of aggravating it. He said a period of relative quiet would contribute to a better international climate for serious negotiation on such vital subjects as disarmament.

FREE PARKING College Ave. at 33rd TA 2-0139 - TA 2-0130 He declared the United States would be glad to see the list of issues before the resumed session cut to the bone, deferring all but the few items essential to conduct of assembly business. Among such items he listed the financing of the multimillion-dol- lar U. N. Congo operation, to which the Soviet Union refuses to contribute a single penny. “Further discussion of the Con go may also be necessary,” he ad ded, “but we are prepared to defer all other items. “If the majority of the members agree, we will support such a move. If they don’t, we are pre pared to discuss all items on the agenda. But we cannot make a trade or a deal to delete some items in exchange for others.” The last was an apparent refer ence to private talks Stevenson held with Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko on issues before the resumed session. Published reports on the talks prompted a statement from the Soviet delegation headed by Gro myko denying that the Soviet Un ion was agreeable to dropping dis armament if the United States de ferred discussion of a U. S.-pro- posed African aid program. The Soviet statement said it was necessary to conclude considera tion of Khrushchev’s disarmament proposals in order to reach basic agreement at the current session on negotiating a treaty calling for general and complete disarmament, and the makeup of a working body to conduct such negotiations. Major Portion This foreshadowed all-out dis armament debate that could take up a major portion of the resumed session’s time. The United States would like to see disarmament tackled first in behind-the-scenes negotiations aimed at exploring possible areas of agreement. The Soviet statement commented that if any items should not be on the agenda they are the Hunga rian and Tibet questions. Such dis cussion, the statement said, was favored by “cold war lovers” seek ing to poison the atmosphere at the assembly. Izvestia, the Soviet government newspaper, declared earlier Mos cow was ready to drop its com plaint charging that the United States was guilty of aggression in connection with the U2 spy plane flight and the RB47 reconnais sance flight.
