What Will U.S.
Do After Tests?
SMU Suspends 8
For Panty Raid
SMU’s Senate Discipline Com
mittee last week suspended eight
students for taking part in a pan
ty raid prior to the Easter Holi
days. One boy was placed on
disciplinary probation and eight
more were reprimanded.
The chairman of the discipline
committee, a faculty member, said
suspension or probation was im
posed when students were found
guilty of flagrant misconduct,
such as unauthorized entry, da
maging property, using abusive
language, resisting authority or
inciting riot.
The lesses punishment of re
primand was imposed on students
who participated more or less
peaceably, he said.

The SMU Hoard of Trustees
has voted to raise the yearly
tuition from $650 to $800 per
year. The increase was attributed
to no tax or public support and
the reliance on gifts and tuition
by the school.
President Tate called tuition
for students not an expense, but
an investment. He said that the
hike at SMU reflected a nation
wide trend of rising costs and
the determination to keep im
proving educational offerings.

Bomb Threat
Interupts UT Classes
An anonymous bomb scare i’e-
cently caused the evacuation of
the University of Texas’ Business-
Economics Building.
A thorough search of the new
$4 million structure failed to
turn-up any bomb.
The threatening phone call was
made to the central university
switchboard shortly after 9 a.m.
classes had begun. Students were
evacuated about twenty minutes
later.
The dean of the college of
business administration dismissed
the threat as a crank call.
One history class was being
tested when the evacuation was
ordered. They continued their
quiz outside the building.
University officials ordered any
other threatening calls to be
traced.

WASHINGTON <A>) — A con-i
troversy is reported blowing up
within the Kennedy administra-|
tion over what steps the United
States shoul take about trying
to. halt nuclear weapons testing
when the current series of Pacifi
tests is completed.
Some officials are advocating
that the United States enter a
new moratorium on atmospheric
tests, which would mean a
versal of present policy.
Others insist that U. S. securi
ty requires a complete test ban
under a strong international in-j
spection system to prevent sneaW
tests or secret preparations for|
tests.
/
>
Some State Department and
White House officials familiar
with the developing dispute are
becoming worried that it may im
pair the U. S. bargaining position
in the 17-nation disarmament con
ference at Geneva.
^
A reassertion of President Ken^
nedy’s basic policy on nuclear
testing is being considered.
“ . . . you ffotta admit they sure had a well-organized cam
paign for th’ coeducational vote!”
The debate now developing isl
concerned with both policy and
propaganda.
ministration officials were report
edly talking of the possibility
that the United States could af
ford to join in a ban or mora
torium on atmospheric testing
when the present series is over.
In discussions within the admini
stration, some interest in this
possibility is reported to have
been shown by the President’s sci
ence adviser, Dr. Jerome B. W'eis-
ner, who was understood to have
raised objections to the current
tests before they started.

On the other hand, the U. S. ne
gotiator at Geneva, Ambassador
Arthur H. Dean, is said to be
lieve that a full-scale test ban
treaty may be possible when the
current round of testing is over.
This means not only the present
U. S. tests but an expected new
series by the Soviet Union.

Editor,
The Battalion:
The Wednesday, May 2, edition
of your fine newspaper had a
story reporting the results of
the golf and softball matches
between the faculty and students
of the Electrical Engineering De
partment. In a matter as serious
as the results of athletic com
petition between the faculty and
students, we must protest your
publishing what was reputed to
be “accurate" results without
first getting all of the facts.
All students and teachers are
well aware that students and par
ticularly engineering students,
make wide usage of two practices:
(1) The use of the F.F. (fudge
factors) to convert erroneous data
or incorrect answers to values
more nearly that desired. (See
several pages of such factors
in past issues of the “Engineer”
magazine)
nished the Data Processing Cen
ter late Saturday afternoon. The
IBM 709 computer worked over
time all day Sunday and Sunday
night.
By 8 a.m. Monday, the results
were phoned to the department.
The results of the first game
was Faculty 3, Students 2; the
second game was Faculty 4, Stu
dents 17; and the third game
was Faculty 2, Students 1.
We readily admit coasting dur
ing the second game to get a
second wind.
We regret that the students
have chosen to distrot the results
of a sporting event. In the past
years, there have never before
been erroneous reports made, de
spite the fact that the faculty al
ways won the game.
The real proof that the facul
ty actually won Hie contests lies
in unanimous action of all facul
ty members teaching senior cours
es. Quizzes had been scheduled

Immediately after the conclusion
of the third game, all of these
were cancelled.
Further proof comes from the
juniors who were spectators at
the games. They were all heart to
mutter as they walked away,
“Wait till next year, Old’ Army.”

The student-faculty golf match
was a first this year, while the
softball game has been an annual
event at the AIEE-IRE Society
picnic each year for decades.
Even the student golf tea#i mem
bers admit they were one man
short for the golf match, so they
drafted the AIEE-IRE Student
Society President to play. Since
he was drafted, they chose to
ignore his astronomical score in
reporting the results. Being com
pletely honest individuals, the
faculty team counted all their
scores, including that of Profes
sor Druce’s 10- year old son.
The students report of the match
is an excellent example of Prac
tice No. 2 above.
The students also chose to ig
nore the fact that three soft-
ball games were played at the
picnic. Complete data was fur-
