Student Prexy
Attacks Texan.

Malcolm Hall, president of the A&M student body, issued
an acid attack last night against The Daily Texan, University
of Texas student paper, and Maurice “Mo” Olian, president
of the Texas Students’ Association.
Hall rolled up his sleeves fol-*
lowing a lengthy editorial in the student body presidents,” Hall said.
Daily Texan Tuesday bitterly de
nouncing A&M’s decision not to
participate in the fledgling South
west Conference Student Associa
tion.
The (fecision not to take part
was made by the Student Senate,
which Hall heads, last Thursday
night.
The editorial insinuated that the
Student Senate’s choice was dic
tated by the administration. It
also charged that A&M wasn’t in
terested in participating in any
thing it couldn’t control.
“The whole thing is ridiculous,”
Hall said. “Sure we sent repre
sentatives to the preliminary meet-
See ‘Swund Off’ on Page 2 for
related letter.
ings. We wanted to investigate it.
The SWCSA looks good on paper,
but in reality the whole thing
smells.
“We simply decided that we
wanted no part of it,” Hall added.
Hall said that Olian claimed he
had been deserted in a phone con
versation Saturday.
“I don’t know where he gets this
desertion stuff,” Hall commented.
“I never was with him.”
Olian is well known at Texas for
his crusades for integration of
university facilities. Some critics
of the SWCSA feared the associa
tion would be used by Olian as a
springboard for integration in
other SWC schools.
“I believe that Olian has lost
sight of the concept of a student
body president’s job,” Hall said.
"I think a student body president
should do what is best for the stu
dent body as a whole and not work
for the things that will benefit
himself.
“Sure I signed a resolution call
ing for the integration of South
west Conference athletics during
the Cotton Bowl meeting of SWC
“But the resolution stated that we
were acting as individuals. How
I personally feel about an issue
isn’t important here.
“And as for the administration
dictating Student Senate decisions,
that just isn’t so. We didn’t ‘get
the word’ from anyone—it was a
decision of the students of A&M.
“Olian is just afraid of losing his
brainchild,” Hall said. “He believes
that other schools might follow our
lead and not ratify the SWCSA
constitution.”
Another error in the Texan’s
editorial was in reporting results
of the Aggie Senate poll. The
Texas paper quoted a 29-2 ballot,
while actually it was 22 against
the association, two abstaining and
two for.
When the Senate voiced disap
proval of the SWCSA it gave three
reasons. They were: the Southwest
Conference Athletic Association
does a sufficient job in coordi
nating SWC relations in the one
field common to all schools—
athletics.
Second was the fact that the
new association can’t possibly
benefit A&M this year, so why
burden next year’s Senate with
membership. And finally was that
“the association is stacked for one
person’s benefit.”
Hall and Jim Davis, head yell
leader, spoke to the Senate in ask
ing for action not favorable to
the association.

Winds, Water
Combine Force
On U. S. Coast
WASHINGTON (A 5 ) — Winds
from one of the worst winter At
lantic storms ever recorded, at a
time when the moon cycle nor
mally bx-ings high tides, combined
to px-oduce devastating high water
Wednesday on much of the U.S.
East Coast.
Ships at sea reported winds of
70 knots or more and waves as
great as 40 feet in communications
to the U.S. Weather Bureau.
The main path of the wind, out
of the noi’theast, was along a line
extending from about 300 miles
off Cape Cod to the Vii'ginia-North
Carolina coast.
In a meteorologist’s or sailor’s
term this is a long fetch of about
600 miles. Such a long fetch gives
time and opportunity for the
winds to pile up water before
them.
The rust of wind, pushing and
dragging water, was at a time
when tides in the normal course
would have been high.
In the 28-day moon cycle there
is a period when the gravitational
forces of the moon and the sun,
acting on the water of the oceans,
pull in opposite directions, dimin
ishing the tides.
There is another period when
these forces pull together and
give higher tides. .This storm
happened to come in such- a pe
riod.

Wire Wrap-Up
By The Associated Press

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.—A complex solar observa
tory soared into orbit Wednesday to probe mysteries of the
sun, how it controls conditions on earth and the peril that
giant solar flares hold for human space travelers.
Nicknamed OSO for orbiting solar observatory, the 458-
pound laboratory was hoisted into a 350-mile-high orbit by
a Thor-Delta rocket launched from this spaceport at 11:06
a. m.
Almost immediately, OSO’s instruments began radioing
information on radiation streaming from the sun. From its
vantage point above the cluttering veil of the earth’s atmos
phere, the satellite provided scientists with their first direct
solar studies.

WASHINGTON—The White House has announced a
series of tariff-cutting agreements with 24 countries, and
said the United States has gained a 4-3 advantage in their
negotiation.
In making this contention, it said other countries agreed
to lower tariffs on items which, in 1960, accounted for $1.6
billion worth of their purchases from the United States. On
the other hand, U. S. tariff concessions covered commodities
involved in $1.2 billion worth of U. S. purchases from those
countries in the same year.
