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. sfi ■ 11 lli 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. U 7 V. (i mm rfis '-A v / f / Tv- j 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. COLLEGE mi VI6-4988 ASH1WIY VAN For Toumamenl fli| I Approx.

As a policy matter, some ad- Sound Off- Engineering Profs Claim Injustices 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 Bulletin Board Russian Club will meet Wed nesday at 6:30 p.m. in Hensel Park. Officers will also be elect ed at 8:30 in Room 127 of the Academic Building.

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.
