Student Dies
Of Encephalitis
Sophomore Bobby Gilbreath of
Iowa Pai'k died Thursday morn
ing in a Houston hospital of en
cephalitis, commonly called sleep
ing sickness.
Gilbreath, a star on last
.spring’s freshman track team,
was first confined last Friday.
He was transferred from the col
lege hospital to Bryan’s St, Jo
seph’s Hospital and then to Her
mann Hospital in Houston.
• Encephalitis is an infection on
the surface of the brain. Medical
authorities gave Gilbreath little
hope of living from the first
stages of his confinement. There
is no treatment for the disease.
Gilbreath, 20, showed promise
of becoming one of the U. S.’s top
hurdlers. He recorded the nation’s
fastest time for freshmen last
year in the 400-meter hurdles with
a 54.2 clocking in Houston’s Meet
‘Culture’ Trip
Called Success
The first trip in the MSC-
sponsored culture series last
weekend has been termed a suc
cess by the 23 students making

tional Defense Reserve Associa

, EDITOR’S NOTE—Heavy Sou
thern criticism of President Ken
nedy’s actions in the University
of Mississippi desegregaton crisis
has heightened interest in the re
gion’s congressional contests. In
the following article. Associated
Press political writer Carl P.
Leubsdorf examines GOP pros
pects in the 11 Southern states.
NEW ORLEANS, La. <A>) —
Southern Republicans, waging
their most vigorous campaign in
this century, have a fighting
chance to double their seven-man
congressional delegation from
the 11 states of the Confederacy
in Tuesday’s election.
An Associated Press survey
showed that up to 14 of the 62
Republicans running for’ the
House in the 106 Southern ' dis
tricts may win. The GOP now
holds seven seats in the South.
In 1960, the Republicans ran 42
for House seats in the 11-state
area, and in 1958, the last off-
year congressional election, only
24 Republicans were on the bal
lot.
Most observers expect the Re
publicans to retain their present
seven seats. Possible gains in
clude three seats in Texas, and
one each in Georgia, Florida,
Tennessee and North Carolina.
Republicans are also challeng
ing six of the seven democratic
U. S. senators running for re-elec
tion. GOP candidates are likely
to trim some Democratic majori
ties but none, has more than an
outside chance to win.
Resentment over President
Kennedy’s stand on desegregation
of the University of Mississippi
may alienate some Democrats.
can candidates had generally
taken a harder line than Demo
crats. But the Democrats seemed
likely to benefit from President
Kennedy’s success in demanding
a Soviet retreat.

In 1960, the Republicans polled
only 22.9 per cent of the two-party
congressional vote in the South, a
decrease over 1956 when 45 GOP
candidates drew 23.5 per cent of
the votes. The Republican presi-
dental vote in the South in 1960,
however, was 47.7 per cent.
