Perpetua [Progress
by Jim Earle
Progress has a way of being perpetually planned at Tex
as A&M, but the full significance of this planning is only
brought into focus occasionally, and then it is often for
gotten.

But due to the blossoming forth of A&M’s entire physical
plant during the past two years, or one might say, “since
the start of the sixties,” no-one can ever again ignore this
fact for a minute while on the campus.

Students are already reaping the benefits of new facili
ties like the W. T. Doherty Petroleum Engineering Building,
the data processing center, nuclear research center, and the
new wing of the Military Sciences Building. Within a short
time the new Physics Building wing will be open and the new
multi-million dollar Plant Sciences Building is progressing
rapidly.
Also in the realm of building improvements has been
the complete air conditioning of the Academic Building, a
mammouth task that took a thorough remodeling of the
building’s interior, spread out over a year’s time.
The new building facilities of the Office of Physical
Plants, which includes the Building and College Utilities, and
the Grounds and Maintenence subunits, has‘added a look of
prosperity to the North Gate approach to the campus.

New Light
On Lumumba
Anyone who has ever driven or walked the soggy,
bumpy auto traps that were the streets running from the
Exchange Store to North Gate, past the college laundry,
and from the next corner to North Gate by the college power
plant, appreciate their having been paved in the past year.
“This guy has three riders already signed up to go to Se-
dalia, Missouri—Gil Favor, Rowdy Yates and Wishbone!
Somehow those names sound familiar, Squirt!”
Sound Off
Any cadet who ever marched the hole-filled, deteriorated
paths from Dormitories 14, 15, 16 and 17 to Sbisa Dining
Hall appreciate their being paved into wide, smooth concrete
walkways blocked off by steel poles preventing cars from
entering them.
Suggestions
Civilian Status
These have already been planned, completed, and are
now in use; but the list hasn’t ended for any length of time
by any extent! Yesterday,* The Battalion carried a story
about plans to build a new $900,000 home for the Division of
Architecture. Today, the lead is new handball courts to be
built as a new level to DeWare Field House.
From the forecast during the start of the sixties, it
looks like A&M is in for a decade of full and complete im
provement; any college that has as much planned progress
become reality as quickly as A&M has, need not worry about
gaining the confidence of those associated with it.
Texas A&M has earned this confidence; the ways can be
seen every day, in every part of the campus. And better yet’
the classes to come can look forward to even more of the
college’s rare qualities: perpetual progress.
We Ain’t Got
(To be sung to the tune of “We Ain’t Got Dames” from
“South Pacific.”) ' *
We got building, we got streets
We got everything that’s neat,
We got nuclear reactors.
Editor,
The Battalion:
The, Student Senate of Texas
A&M College, in order to better
reflect the opinions and ideas
of the student body, would wel
come helpful and constructive
suggestions and criticisms on
any matter of student policy
from any and all students.
The objectives of the Student
Senate are to democratically rep
resent the various interests in
the student body of the college,
to promote the welfare of the
student body, and to act as the
official voice of the student
body. The Student Senate needs
the help of the student body in
performing these functions. The
Student Senate will take up for
consideration any letter mailed
to The Office of the Student
Senate, P.O. Box 5746, College
Station.
James W. Carter
Public, Relations Committee
Student Senate
Editor,
The Battalion:
Some discussion has recently
taken place regarding the status
of the civilian students at A&M.
We question the assertion that
the civilians have the standing
they should have at this college.
Isn’t it true that some Corps
students are living one to a room
while; many “non-regs” are liv
ing three to a room? Is the
civilian student still a second
class citizen in this academic
community ? The undersigned
believe the answer to this ques
tion is in the affirmative!
And a lot of other factors
We got a brand new physics building, /
And a lot of Army officers;
What ain’t we got?
We ain’t got pencil sharpeners.
So why don’t we get some—in most of the classrooms, no
less? The abrupt shortage of pencil sharpeners on the cam
pus is quite disheartening to say the least! Any future plans
for progress should include them.

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. UP>
—A U.N. investigating commis
sion expressed belief Tuesday
Patrice Lumumba, the fiery
Congo leader, was murdered last
January in the presence of high
Katanga officials and his fate
kept secret for almost a month.
The commission declared lead
ers of the central Congo govern
ment must share responsibility,
since they turned Lumumba and
two associates over to the Ka
tanga authorities “knowing full
well that in doing so they were
throwing them into the hands of
their bitterest political enemies.”
There is a “great deal of sus
picion,” the commission added,
that the actual perpetrator of
Lumumba’s murder, in accord
with a prearranged plan, was a
Belgian colonel who served as a
mercenary in the Katanga armed
forces.
Eyewitnesses to the deaths
were probably Katanga Premier
Moise Tshombe and two chief
aides, Godefroid Munongo and
Jean-Baptiste Kibwe, the com-
piission said.

NEW YORK — “Everybody

declares Pulitzer Prize playwright
Tad Mosel.
Addressing a theatrical sym

Mosel urged less interference with
creative artists.
“You’ll get good writing when
and if you turn the writer loose
and let him alone,” he said.
