WASHINGTON UP)—The United States is ready to sink

stop and be searched under the blockade, a defense spokes
man said.
He said this country’s blockade fleet, now beine: deployed,
will order any ship of any nation obviously bound for Cuba
ports to stop and undergo search by a boarding party if neces
sary.
A spokesman, under a barrage of ouestions, made it clear
that force would be used if necessary in any case.

Students hoping to graduate in January will not be listed
as degree candidates unless they file an application for a de

“It is absolutely necessary that formal application be
made prior to the deadlines,” Luther A. Harrison, assistant
registrar said. Undergraduates should apply with the reg
istrar’s office, and graduate students should apply with that
office and also with the dean of graduate studies.
The list of degree candidates is compiled from the com
pleted applications, Harrison explained.

Two different aspects of the se

are now being studied, Student
Body President Sheldon Best re
ported Monday.
The study, by the student life
committee of the Student Senate,
comes as the result of a meeting
Saturday between A&M and Texas
Woman’s University representa
tives.
The student life committee, chair
ed by Jerry Vion, is probing a
criteria to be used at TWU to
select semifinalists and the forma
tion of a selection team of A&M
students to select finalists.
Another selection team of Aggies
selects the sweetheart from around
13 finalists.
Saturday’s meeting followed stu
dent polls at both schools that re
vealed general dissatisfaction with
the present selection method.
TWU students select their own
semifinalists, but have never had
an established criteria from A&M
to use in the selection. For the
past two years a group of Mem
orial Student Center staff mem
bers has named the finalists. Be
fore that finalists were chosen
from pictures of the semifinalists.

Stevenson
On Red China
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. (A?)
—U. S. Ambassador Adlai E, Ste
venson Monday accused Commu
nist China of premeditated naked
military aggression against India
in open scorn of United Nations
principles.
Stevenson cited the India-Chi-
nese border warfare in replying
to a Soviet demand in the 109-
nation General Assembly that Na
tionalist China be ousted from the
United Nations and all 'its U.N.
representation turned over to the
Chinese Communists.
The demand came from Soviet
Deputy Foreign Minister Valerian
A. Zorin in a speech that opened
debate on the China representa
tion issue. The United States is
confident the assembly will reject
the Soviet demand by even a
greater margin that it did last
year.
Zorin made no reference to the
India-China border warfare, but
Stevenson departed from his pre
pared text to quote Indian Prime
Minister Nehru as saying in New
Delhi that his country is being
subjected to aggression by a pow
erful and unscrupulous foe.
