lie expect the ex-students as
poop will give us some trouble,”
Maid. “But that’s the trouble
with A&M now — the exes have
been running it for too long.”
Moore said he had heard of
some opposition from the A&M
Board of Directors after the re
jection of their suggested name.
“The Board runs the school and
can make suggestions to us,”
Moore said. “But we make the
laws.”
“Some of these darned fool ex-
Aggies are liable to get up and
raise hell about it, but it doesn’t
belong to them, it belongs to the
state,” Moore said.
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.

COLD WAR ISSUES DEFERRED
General Assembly Reopens
By The Associated Press
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.—The
United Nations reopened its 15th
General Assembly Tuesday with
both the United States and the
Soviet Union calling for deferment
of cold wax issues.
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.

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.
