TWU Taking Look - See
At Sweetheart Selection
Even though the 1962-63 Aggie Sweetheart was selected
just last weekend, the campaign for new selection procedures
is being continued—and at Texas Woman’s University, as
well as among students here.
The Battalion learned Wednesday that polls are being
taken at TWU by the student newspaper, The Daily Lass-O,
and that student opinion on the issue is running high.
TWU selects its own semifinalists—40 this year—and
then A&M representatives and students take over to name
the final winner.
For the past two years, staff representatives from the
Memorial Student Center have selected the finalists—usually
13, but 14 this year. Then a student selection committee
selects the sweetheart.
A poll here last week revealed that many students are
not satisfied with the present procedure. Of those inter
viewed by The Battalion, well over half expressed hope, a new
selection method could be initiated.
Apparently at least a few doubts are being expressed
about the selection method at TWU.
Of course, the two methods in question are probably not
the same. Most discontent here has been in the selection of
finalists, not the sweetheart. Any TWU dissatisfaction would
probably be in the method of naming semifinalists.
Exact procedures of naming semifinalists at TWU are
not known here. Obviously it is one of the year’s big events
at the Denton school. Also everyone can’t be happy after 40
or so girls are singled out as semifinalists—someone has to
lose and ill feelings could easily follow.
We hope TWU can accomplish a great deal in its self-
examination. They have everything to gain and nothing to
lose.
Campus Chest Can Succeed
Another Campus Chest drive opens this weekend as tubs
are placed around Kyle Field for the Aggie-TCU football
game.
Little else is changed. The goal is still “a dollar from an
Aggie to an Aggie.” Collection procedures are still the same.
Proceeds are used for the same causes.
We hope the similarity stops here.
Seldom is the goal reached, even though last fall’s drive
was a tremendous success when compared to the previous
year’s.
Nothing but insufficient interest can stop this year’s
effort from succeeding. The background has been layed with
many man-hours of work—the rest is up to the individual,
no one else.

By WILLIAM L. RYAN
AP Special Correspondent
From headquarters in Fidel
Castro’s Havana, Dominican Re
public Communist leaders have
just issued orders to their Santo
Domingo underground to prepare
a campaign of pre-election revo
lutionary violence.
The object apparently is to
throw the scheduled Dec. 20 elec
tion campaign into confusion and
if possible cause cancellation of
the voting.
Orders were broadcast by a
Havana station called Patria
Libre which transmits propa
ganda to the Dominican Republic,
now struggling- to get to its feet
after 30 years of repression under
the late Rafael L. Trujillo.
Unless civil violence prevents
voting, the Dominicans will
choose a president in December
to begin the long job of building
a sane political-economic system
for the four million who occupy
the eastern two-thirds of Hispani
ola. Chaotic Haiti occupies the
other third of the Caribbean
island.

consists of an anti-imperlialist
revolution of national liberation.”
Both dominant parties in the
Dominican Republic, the Civic
Union and the Dominican Revo
lutionary party, are actively bat
tling the extreme left, which has
a hard core believed to be 70,000
strong, mostly young men. That
is enough to create extreme havoc
in advance of the elections.
