THE BATTALION Page 2 College Station, Texas Wednesday, October 24, 19G2 | S WC Campus 1 Newsmakers I Alligator Visits Texas Union Campus police at Texas Univer sity removed an alligator from the school’s student union build ing one morning last week. A freshman geology student re claimed the captured reptile and said he had been missing two weeks. The student explained that he keeps alligators as pets. No one knows for sure how the gator got into the union building. He was first sighted sunning himself on a concrete pillar at the edge of the union building’s fountain. ★ ★ ★ A group of Texas Negro stu dents has asked Dr. Martin Lu ther King Jr. to plan non-violent action at the university to “to tally integrate all facilities.” The group is seeking Integra- Sound Off Editor, The Battalion: During the Texas Tech game I sat with the A&M student body just as I have for the past six years. For the first time since I have been at this fine college I became thoroughly disgusted with the 12th Man and the so-called “yell leaders.” When the time comes when Ag gies must use their “spirit” to prevent the opposing team from playing the game, then the 12th Man has lost its significance. To make matters even more appalling, the “yell leaders” en couraged this rudeness to the Tech team when they should have been preventing it. Even our own football players had to ask the 12th Man to be quiet. An incident like this is one which brings shame to a proud school. Wake up Aggies! Yell for your team, but show the opposing team the courtesy and respect we are taught to give to our fellow-man as true Aggies.

The campus chest steering com mittee refused a petition for aid hy the YMCA after a long dis cussion. Main reason was contro versial political publicity given the ‘Y’ last year, especially by the Dallas Morning News. Baylor Okays Honor Council Baylor’s student governing group has approved a replace ment for the school’s “quiescent” present honor council. The new program, which is yet to be approved, would re duce the number of council mem bers from 12 to eight, with the freshmen and sophomore classes not being represented. All eight members would be required to be present for any hearing, with at least six af firmative votes needed for a con viction. Also the method of selecting the council members would be chang ed from an election to appoint ment by a faculty-student selec tion committee. ★ ★ ★ A reporter-photographer team from the Baylor Lariat was ex pelled from a meeting of the school’s women’s student govern ing group last week. The action came less, than one week after the organization sup posedly opened its meetings to the press. Still another reporter, a woman, was told before the meeting she would not be able to attend. The expelled Lariat reporters were a man and a woman. The explusion came as retalia tion for a previous Lariat story telling of campus controversy concerning “public displays of affection” and women’s wearing of breeches. Members of the group would not talk to the reporters after the closed meeting. They also an nounced that future meetings of the organization would be closed to the press.

ROBERTS Associated Press News Analyst For many years now the Soviet Union has been taking advantage of a universal fear of nuclear war to advance, by measures just short of world war, the objectives of expansionist Communism. Once before she made a mis take-in Korea. The United States moved swiftly and, to the Krem lin, unexpectedly. The Soviet- sponsored and Chinese-executed aggression was stopped cold. For three years now the Soviet Union has been sponsoring, through Cuba, a concerted at tempt to penetrate the Western Hemisphere. Again the United States has called her hand, cold. And she’s Ass. masive retaliation and of naval blockade. This is a risk which President Kennedy recognized. It is a cal culated risk upon which the na tion’s leaders already had passed judgement. And it is the willing ness to take this risk which is the greatest warning and the greatest meaning of the entire position. The Soviet statement refers to the right of all countries to lead their own lives. Apparently the Kremlin expects everyone to for get what happened in Hungary just six years ago. Then, after recognizing a government which had revolted against Communist, rule, Soviet Premier Khrushchev took advantage of Allied trouble over Seuz to send his troops and . , *U* e * , 8Hanks rolling back into the brain- The Soviet statement makes ^ ghed revolutionaries who re _ “ . . .

But what Kennedy said was that, if a Soviet missile was fired from Cuba against a country of the Americas, the retaliation would be against the Soviet Un ion as the prime mover. This was in keeping with the great sym pathy for the Cuban people felt in the United States, a sympathy which fed the fire of the Span ish-American War. The U.S.S.R. warns of the risk of thermonuclear war involved in the revived American policy of ftfsed to remain brainwashed. The United States policy always has been to keep the way open at all times for self-determination of peoples, without permitting one imposed tyranny or one misguid- edly popular action to close the door against freedom forever.
