Umhau Wolf said here Friday during the final ses sion of A&M’s 20th annual Re ligious Emphasis Week. The pastor of Saint Paul’s Lu theran Church in Toledo, Ohio, dis cussing “The Holy Scriptures and Christian Unity,” said the old ar gument of “my Bible versus your Bible” is becoming more scarce. Rev. Wolf, said Christian unity is increasing because Catholic theology is becoming more biblical Mid Protestant interpretation more theological, with the biblical roots of liturgy being emphasized again. Twentieth Gentry Catholic En- lyclopedia, he said, indicates new inderstanding of Protestantism, t reflects mutual exchange of bib lical scholarship.

Wolfe. “If we believe the Word is pow erful and the spirit works through the Word, we need not fear. The light and truth will shine. The Christian witness will be one. As there is one Holy Scriptures, so there will come in the grace of God one Holy Christian Church,” he added. The Lutheran minister was one of 17 ministers and educators who made talks and conducted confer ences during Religious Emphasis Week. The noted speaker began his se ries of talks Monday morning in Guion Hall. In his second talk, Wolf ex pressed the fact that the usual trademarks of the beatnik—sloppy dress, unshaved face, dai’k glasses and a beret hat—are becoming things of the past. He said that the well-dressed civilians and well-groomed corps- men may really be beatniks and not know it. “The most highly regarded ideals of all beatniks are indiffer ence to life, death, God and the devil,” he said. Wednesday’s talk centered around the theme that collegians can be lost in the masses. En titled “The Lost Man on Campus,” Rev. Wolf’s talk pi’esented four characteristics of the lost man: waiting for life, pui’pose and meaning to life, waiting for com munity life and waiting for God. Yesterday’s address dealt with the mature marriage. Rev. Wolf said, “The man-woman relation ship today is dominated by ro mantic love, even though this type of emotion often does not face reality.” CORRECTION Yesterday’s Battalion stated in the story concerning High School Day that meals would be available “at no cost.” The statement should have read: “Meals will be avail able at nominal cost.” Wire Wrap-Up By The Associated Press World News MOSCOW—Top Soviet military chiefs declared anew Thursday that Soviet rockets and nuclear forces could wipe )ut the United States. The latest outburst was timed for Friday’s observance of the 44th anniversary of the birth of the Red army during the' Russian Revolution. Soviet military holidays are fre quently the occasion for stem speeches and military boasts. Warnings that the Russians could destroy America in nuclear conflict have been voiced in the past. U. S. News DAVIDSON, N. C.—Secretary of State Dean Rusk said Thursday night, “There is no genuinely satisfactory solution to the problems of Germany and Berlin short of the reunifica tion of the country.” Delivering the second of two addresses at Davidson Col lege, his alma mater, Rusk said a united Berlin should be the capital of the reunified Germany. In his first address, made to the student body Thursday morning, the secretary said this country “is less sovereign than ever in its history because of our own deliberate deci sions over the years to work with other countries to get essential jobs done.” Texas News FORT WORTH—The chief spokesman for the North American Air Defense Command says Russia may have “put the first cosmic coffin in a celestial cemetery.” Col. Barney Oldfield said a satellite now in orbit may contain a Russian who couldn’t return to earth. He said the orbiting object, made up of a nose cone and booster unit which failed to separate, was put up in May 1960. Conjecture is that the cone may have been manned, he said. “If so,” he said, “the Russians can claim a first to which they are welcome.” ► Six Schools Must Vote To Ratify A&M’s Student Senate will vote Thursday on a constitu tion for the proposed Southwest Conference Student Associa tion. which was drafted last weekend by delegates from six of the eight schools in the Southwest Athletic Conference.

Ken nedy pledged last night that Ber lin’s airlanes to the West will be kept open, if necessary, by the full strength of American power. The brother of the U.S. Presi dent made the promise in a speech before the Ernst Reuter Society in West Berlin’s Free University. Earlier, in a speech at City Hall before a huge crowd estimated by police at 180,000, the U.S. attor ney general declared Berlin will not be attacked because “an armed attack on West Berlin is the same thing as an armed attack on Chi cago, New York, London or Paris. You are our brothers and- we will stand by you.” The two speeches were the high light of a crowded day in which the attorney general and his wife, Ethel, flew from Rome by way of the Frankfurt-Berlin corridor with out interference from Soviet planes. Kennedy made a brief arrival speech at the airport and looked over the Communist wall which he pronounced a terrible indict ment of Communism. collegiate Student Association, was named temporary secre- tarv-trea surer. Rice University in Houston was not represented at the meeting, and A&M was only repre sented by a non-voting observer, Jim Davis. The Association has started that it hopes to achieve “the mutual benefits to be derived from a com mon association” for the students in Southwest Conference schools. The association, if ratified, will meet twice each year, once in Sep tember or October in Dallas, and once in February in Fort Worth. Each school will have only one vote, but may send three delegates to general conventions, including the student body president of each school or his representative. Resolutions to be considered for adoption by the association must be received by the student body presidents and the student news paper editors at least two weeks prior to the opening of a general convention. A majority vote (5) of all mem ber schools will pass a resolution. As it is now set up, the asso ciation will have three executive officers, who will not have a vote: The chairman and secretary-treas urer will both be appointed by the individual schools according to this rotation: Texas Univei’sity, A&M, Texas Christian University, Texas Tech, Arkansas, Baylor University, Rice, and Southern Methodist University. The vice chairman will come from the next school on the rota tion list, and the first vice chair man will be from A&M. U. S. Thumbs Red Proposal On Conference WASHINGTON 6T)_The United States rejected Thursday night a new, bluntly worded bid by Soviet Premier Khrushchev to open next month’s Geneva disarmament con ference with a summit meeting. At the same time, the United States agreed with a Soviet pro posal to discuss the nuclear test ban issue at the Geneva confer ence—but not on the basis of the Soviet atomic test ban plan. The U.S. position was made public in twin announcements a few hours after President Ken nedy’s receipt from Khrushchev of a 20-page message and the Soviet announcement in Geneva of its newest maneuver on a test ban. Khrushchev’s 2,500-word note did not make clear whether he would go to Geneva or send his foreign minister, Andrei A. Gro myko.
