TCU Enrolls
First Negroes
Three Negroes were included
among more than 6,200 students
who have enrolled for first semes
ter classes at Texas Christian
U niversity.
The three, all women, enroll
ed without incident in the uni
versity’s Harris College of Nurs
ing.
Other enrollment figures show
4,089 regular students, 556 grad
uate students, 1,469 in the even
ing college and 163 in Brite Col
lege of the Bible.
Last fall’s enrollment totaled
6,309.
Baylor Students
Dance In Streets
Students at Baylor are dancing
in the street — maybe because
enrollment has passed last fall’s
total and maybe because Barney
the Bear is eating again.
Actually the street dance was
only a portion of the Heart O’
Texas Fair held in Waco last
week.
But enrollment has reached 5,-
399 — over 200 above last fall’s
5,120.
And Barney is actually eating
again. The mascott has been ill
again. The mascot has been ill
but coke and sugar during his ill
ness.
According to his trainer, the
12-year-old mascot is* now eating
more solid food, moves around
more, holds his eyes open and
even scratches.

Vast revamping, plans have
been announced for Baylor’s stu
dent radio station, KYBS.
Emphasis on the change will |
lean to more music, with campus S
news casts at five minutes be- i
fore each hour. According to the,
station manager, the new sound'
will be patterned after KXYZ in]
Houston and KRLD in Dallas.
snack bar will also be open any
hour the building is open.
Missing Soph
At UT Found
A state-wide search for a miss
ing University of Texas sopho
more has been called off by the
boy’s mother.
The youth disappeared after |
leaving his Houston home for |
Austin to register for the fall |
semester. The mother told offi- 1
cers her son had been found, but
did not indicate where.
During the search his auto
was found in Grand Prairie and
officers speculated he might have
gone to Odessa. He lived there
before moving to Houston.
He was carrying $300-400 at
the time of his disappearance,
his mother said.
Sound Off-
(Editor’s Note: The following
letter concerning sportsmanship
was sent Student Body President
Shelton Best by Horace Wilkin
son IV, president of the Student
Government Association at LSU.)
Dear Sheldon:
I would like you to know what
an extreme pleasure it was to
have you and the other Aggies
who came for the game here at
LSU this past weekend. I have
heard nothing but complimentary
remarks from students all over
the campus in regard to your
brief stay here. I only hope the
impression which we left with
you was comparable.
The ATO’s in particular, en
joyed your company, and I can
assure you that this was the first
time an Aggie yell leader has con
ducted any sort of pep meeting
in any fraternity house at LSU.
Again, I would like to express
my happiness for the relationship
our student bodies now seem to
have, and I feel certain that this
relationship will continw
many years to come. If you
happen to be in Louisiana!
please contact me.

Under the new system thi
By PETER ARNETT
SAIGON, Viet Nam <A>) — The
possibility that Communist guer-
rilljas massing in South Viet
Nam’s central highlands may try
to grab a provincial capital late
this year and proclaim a rebel
government, even for a brief pe
riod, is worrying the Vietnamese
government and U. S. military
authorities.
The guerrillas may be tempted
to do this, it is reasoned, to get
international recognition for their
movement, similar to the manner
in which the Communists capi
talized on paratroop Capt. Kong
Le’s coup d’etat in Vientiane, the
capital of neighboring Laos, in
August, 1960.
Kong Le overthrew the pro-
Western regime and proclaimed
a neutralist government. Even
though he later was driven back
into the hills, the Communists in
sisted that the neutralist premier,
Prince Souvanna Phouma, re
mained the head of the legal gov
ernment of Laos.
International pressure resulted
in the formation this year of a
coalition government, thereby
nullifying efforts to keep Laos a
pro-Western bastion.
The threat of a similar happen
ing in South Viet Nam has been
increased, American sources say,
by Communist realization that
massive injections of U.S. aid info
this country have slowed down at
tempts to take over the country
militarily.
The three key provincial capi
tals that are logical targets of
the Communists are Pleiku, Kon-
tum and Quang Ngai, all either
in or bordering the central high
lands where the Communists have
had virtual control since the end
of World War II.
Vietnamese intelligence says
that complete battalions have
moved south from North Viet
Nam into the mountains in the
past eight months and guerrillas
already in the area have been
organized into battalion and
regimental units.
They are known to have heavy
mortars and automatic weapons,
mostly old stock, that was used
effectively in later stages of the
Indochina war against the
French.
American advisers in Saigon
picture a situation in which a
strong Communist force might
strike at a provincial capital
heedless of losses, overrun it and
proclaim to the world that a legit
imate and “neutralist” govern
ment has been formed.
Then they could go back into
the mountains before government
reinforcements arrived.
