Addition of a new “activities”
rtion to the 1962 Aggieland and
B omission of the long-standing
Enior favorite” section were ex-
ped Wednesday by Aggieland
Editor Raleigh E. Coppedge.
(Coppedge said the move was
limed to increase the overall
idability and usefulness of the
nual. He said increased enroll-

Corps seniors have until Fri-
lay of this week to have their
pctures made for the class sec-
on of the Aggieland ’62, Ra-
igh Coppedge, Aggieland ed-
or, said Wednesday.
nt in the past few years has
used the Aggieland to increase
number of pages in its class
d senior favorite sections until
present annual is almost un-
eldy. This increase in pages
also caused a reduction in the
e of pictures in these sections,
an increase in the cost of pro-
ling the annual. The increased
t, necessarily, has been passed
to the students through in-
eased page cost.
The new activities section would
ture, probably in chronological
der, the events of the A&M year,
eldon Nash, activities section
itor, said. He said there hasn’t
en an activities section in the
nual since 1959. The past two
Jgielands have pictured activi-

Section
ties in “snap shots” peppered
throughout the book.
Putting activities in a special
section would permit deserved cov
erage of such events as bonfire,
SCONA, dances and Parent’s Day.
Several pictures and a brief sketch
of an event would be more mean
ingful both to students and to
others who might pick up the Ag
gieland, Nash said, than “wild”
pictures scattered through the
pages.
Forced addition of pages to the
Aggieland caused the Aggieland
to drop the activities section in the
1960 edition. For many years the
Aggieland, and the Longhorn be
fore it, were kept down to a neat
500 or so pages. However, in 1960
the book jumped from 505 pages
in 1959 to a whopping 515 pages.
Last year the annual had an un
precedented 535 pages, excluding
the index.
Coppedge said the only way to
reinstate the activities section and
still keep the Aggieland down to
a readable size (he wants to re
turn to 500 pages this year) would
be to omit the senior favorites.
The “favorites’ section of the an
nual was initiated in 1917.
Coppedge said the few May
graduates who have already turned
in pictures for the senior favorite
section of the Aggieland would
have their pictures and fees re
funded as soon as possible.

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.—The Soviet Union charged
yesterday and drew a quick U. S. denial—that the United
States is planning to invade Cuba this month. Soviet Dele
gates Valerian A. Zorin told the General Assembly’s Political
Committee his country would give Cuba “all necessary assist
ance.”
U. S. Delegate Francis T. P. Plimpton scoffed at the
Soviet charge. He said the only threat to Cuba Prime Minis
ter Fidel Castro’s “dictatorship is the longing of the Cuban
people for freedom.” He added that the only threat to peace
in the Western Hemisphere was Castro meddling in other
American republics to “overthrow their free institutions by
outside force.”
