Page 2 THE BATTALION College Station, Texas Thursday, February 8, 1962 Pass In Review And so the Spring- Semester has begun. With the ex ception of this tragedy, Doomsday seems to have passed quietly on the campus. (For the uninformed, a whole raft of world-ending ca lamities were supposed to happen last weekend when, accord ing to the Hindu religion, the serpent Raha slithered across the heavens and swallowed the sun. The sun was swallowed in a brief eclipse visible in the South Pacific. But—no calamities) And so the Spring Semester has begun. A look at the bright side: only 107 days ‘till final Review; only 114 days ’till summer, and (heh-heh) only 116 days ’till the first sum mer session begins. ★ ★ ★ Might as well face up to this one. A member of the senior class walked into a local restaurant a couple of weeks ago—not to eat, to buy a pack of cigarettes. Put his 30 cents into the machine and found he had six songs coming. It’s all right, he says.- He’s given up smoking for the Twist anyway. ★ ★ ★ We received in the mail the other day a book. Inside the book was a card which read: “We take pleasure in send ing you this book for review. The price is $1. Publication date is Feb. 5.” Name of the book was “It’s A Dog’s Life, Charlie Brown,” by (you guessed it) Charles M. Schulz. We read the book and found a touching story of a boy and his dog. The dog is schizoprenic. The boy is paranoiac. Everybody seems to dislike the boy, but, likes the dog. This causes the boy to says things like “Beagles on the grass, alas!” and the dog to think (dogs can’t talk) “I ain’t no stupid Beagle!” So much for Schulz’s latest collection of “Peanuts” in book form. 'Ar 'A' -^r PARTING SHOT—Lead story in Tuesday’s “Skiff,” stu dent newspaper of Texas Christian University in Fort Worth: “ ‘If it were up to telephone conversations, no TCU stu dent would ever get married,’ groaned a frustrated coed after missing her third call for the evening.” But- says TCU’s business manager, private line phones are being installed as fast as possible.

Kennedy told his news confer ence that if necessary he will invoke his power of executive privilege to prevent a Senate sub committee investigating “muz zling” charges from questioning individual reviewers about their motives in striking matter from speeches they screened. Earlier Wednesday the special Senate investigating group voted to challenge the refusal by Secre tary of Defense Robert S. Mc Namara to let his staff tell who censored specific speeches. Kennedy said he stands firmly behind McNamara. The President, with a note of exasperation in his voice, said McNamara had gone a long way toward trying to meet the re quests of the senators.
