A new $1.5 million women’s,
dormitory has been opened at|
Baylor for use this semester.
The 90,000-square feet struc-J
ture will house 475 women, 75 1
per cent of them freshmen. It
can also be converted to accom
modate men, which the univer
sity plans when a new women’s
dorm is completed.
No name has been chosen for
the new dormitory.
★★★
Enrollment at Baylor has al
ready passed last year’s total
with a preliminary figure of 4,-
469. This figure was released
before the registration of law
students.
Last fall’s total at the same
time was 4,353.
★★★
‘Howdy Week’ opened Monday
on the Baylor campus, but pri
marily for fraternity and sorori
ty rush plans.
Along with the friendly at
mosphere, social clubs planned
parties, sweetheart selections
and other festivities to welcome
beginning students.
★★★
A reporter for The Baylor
Lariat has recorded proceedings
in an executive meeting of the
school’s Student Congress.
The unique arrangement was
possible after the committee dis
cussed the matter and then voted
to allow the reporter to stay at
the meeting.
Similar to A&M’s Student Sen
ate executive committee, Baylor’s
group hears arguments, discuss
es and, perhaps, re-writes all
legislation to be presented to the
congress.
★★★
Col. John P. Stapp, often called
the “fastest man on earth,”
slowed down to deliver the main
address at welcoming ceremonies
for Baylor new students.
In 1954 Stapp rode a rocket-
powered sled down a rail at a
speed of 632 miles per hour. He
then wrenched the vehicle to a
stand-still in 1.4 seconds.
His sled rides were a forerun
ner of the U. S. man-in-space
program.

OPEN LETTER TO DRIVERS
Dear Mr. Driver:
Today my daughter, who is six
yedrs old, started to school. She
wore a dark blue dress with a
white collar, black shoes an (J blue
socks. Her cocker spaniel, Scott,
sat on the front porch and
whined his canine belief in the
folly of education as she waved
goodbye.
Tonight, we talked about
school. She told me about the
girl who sits in front of her . . .
the little girl with the yellow
curls and the boy across the
aisle who makes fpnny faces.
She told me about her teacher,
who has eyes in the back of her

head . . . about the trees in the
school yard and about the big
girl who doesn’t believe in Santa
Claus. We talked about a lot of
things ... tremendously vital,
important things.
We studied spelling, reading
and writing, and then to bed.
She is there now, up in her
room, sound asleep. And “Prin
cess Elizabeth” (her doll) is cud
dled in her arm.
You guys wouldn’t hurt her,
would you? You see, when her
doll’s fing*er is cut, or when a
leg is bi’oken, I can fix it. But
when my little girl starts to
school, when she walks across
the street . . . well, then she is
in your hands.
She’s a nice kid. She can run
like a deer, and darts about like
a chipmunk. She likes to ride
her tricycle and go for a walk
with me on Sunday afternoon.
But I can’t be wijjh her all the
time. I have to work to pay for
her clothes and education. So,
won’t you please look out for her
and the other children.

AP Special Correspondent
The Soviet Union has mounted
a furious propaganda campaign
keyed to the theme of Moscow
support for Cuba.
This campaign suggests that
Cuba has become a useful instru
ment of Soviet policy, both in
ternal and external.
A week ago the Soviet govern
ment said U.S. activities with re
gard to Cuba “might plunge the
world into the disaster of a uni
versal thermonuclear war.”
Ever since that statement the
Soviet press has been full of the
subject. Front pages carry pic
tures of Soviet goods being
hoisted aboard ships bound for
Cuba. There are pictures of wor
ried-looking workers discussing
the Kremlin views. There are
many stories on the theme that
the United States is preparing to
pounce upon Cuba and a welter
of items stressing Moscow’s con
cern and gratitude being ex
pressed by the Castro regime.
The di'ive has many facets.
In foreign policy, it permits
the Kremlin to maneuver more
easily on the issue of West Ber
lin’s future. The Khrushchev re
gime uses outside threats for
purposes of domestic policy, but
Berlin may be too potentially
explosive and too close to home
to permit magnifying the crisis
to the point of serious risk.
Cuba, on the other hand, is far
away from the Soviet Union.

The Kremlin apparently feels
it has the Kennedy administra
tion in a painfully embarrassing
situation, and the propagandists
are making the most of it. Evi
dently the Communist high com
mand hopes to profit by exploit
ing elsewhere in Latin America
the notion that the United States
is planning to attack Cuba.
On the home front also, the
propaganda has important uses.
It has the look of a' carefully
controlled scare campaign to per
suade the Soviet public that nu
clear war over the Cuban situa
tion is possible.

of children with Sabin oral polio
vaccine.”
Dr. Terry added in an inter
view that he feels it is “encour
aging that many communities
are talking in terms of postpone
ment rather than abandonment,
but there is. no reason for post
ponement of campaigns covering
children.”
There is no objection to use of
all three types of oral vaccine in
numerical sequence at six-week
intervals for children, he said.
Types I and II should be used
similarly for adults, he went on,
with a decision later to be made
locally on whether the adults also
should be offered Type III.
Originally the service recom
mended that Type I be given
first followed six weeks later by
Type III and after another six
weeks by Type II.
Terry explained this sequence
was decided upon originally be
cause Types I and III now cause
most paralytic polio cases in this
country, and there has been some
evidence that Type II tends to
become a dominant strain and
might interfere with the effec
tiveness of the Type HI vaccine
if taken ahead of it.
“I have been disappointed at
the reaction in some areas to the
recommendation for a temporary
halt in use of Type III oral vac
cine for adults,” Terry said, re
ferring to the recess called after
some cases of polio were associ
ated with Type III vaccination
of adults.
“In certain respects these
denly canceled plans for:
programs mean that we are
ing sight of the principal
basic purpose of the polio it
nization programs — the pi:.
tion of pre-school and schoei-
children, our most suscepl
group,” he said.
“Adults have been induce,
the mass programs largely
cause it seemed this woulc
get more children broughtii
vaccination.”
Terry expressed belief a s
deal more can be leamea
cernfng Type III and adults
ing the next few weeks, tk
no terminal date has beens:
possibly ending the recount:
tion against use of thattyp
adults.
He said the service will
tinue the surveillance it has
conducting of the entire
vaccine situation and inter.;:
in some areas.
