Rice Schedules
Integration Vote
Rice students will vote this
week on the feasibility of inte
grating the Houston school.
The vote comes as a I’esult of
an announcement by Student As
sociation President Bob Clarks
that Rice’s Board of Governors
has approved integration.
Any change would require al
tering the school’s charter — a
court action which Clarke specu
lated might take a year. At the
same time the charter might be
amended to permit the charging
of tuition.
“Legal action would make inte
gration and the charging of tui
tion possible, but would not de
tail methods of carrying them
out,” Clarke said.

Rice’s Dean of Students has
ruled that women may visit
men’s quarters only when there
are at least three persons pre
sent.
In a regulation released last
week, the dean stated:
“Open-houses during which wo
men guests visit men’s quarters
in the residential colleges may be
held only on special occasions,
for each of which the college
government must make applica
tion and receive the approval of
both the college master and the
Dean of Students.”
Director Disappointed
After Play Stopped
Baylor Theater Director Paul
Baker expressed bitter disap
pointment last week after Uni
versity President Abner V. Mc
Call cancelled a student thea
ter presentation of Eugene O’
Neill’s “Long Day’s Journey Into
Night.”
The production was stopped be
cause of what McCall called
“language not in keeping with
the university’s ideals.”
Baker called the production
“the greatest play by the great
est writer ever produced at Bay
lor.”
“I felt it was very important
to do this play here. It is really
a morality play. It shows the
great tragedy of O’Neill’s sins—
the tragedy of drinking and
dope,” the producer added.

At the United Nations the So
viet Union and the United States
have agreed again that it would
be a fine thing for everybody to
quit arming and spend the mon
ey on world economic develop
ment. At Geneva the Communists
flatly refuse every suggested
means of doing it.
At the United Nations the So
viet and the United States have
agreed to cooperate in certain
experiments involving the peace
ful use of space. But not of Tel-
star, which promises to become
the first important economic use
of space while also providing a
weapon in cold war propaganda.
Telstar is by act of Congress
a commercial operation, and the
Soviet Union still thinks all such
should be owned and controlled by
governments.
Disarmament involves an act
of both abnegation and faith.
Soviet lack of faith in the safety
of a world which is not con
trolled by communism is not
merely ideological. It is an ex
tension of an ancient Russian be
lief that she is not safe in a
world not controlled by Russia.

Editor,

New UT Regent
Wants Junior College
The new chairman of the Uni
versity of Texas Board of Re
gents, Judge W. W. Heath, said
last week he favors the estab
lishment of a junior college in
Austin to serve the university.
Heath said he feels a junior
college “would be beneficial to
the city and would relieve the
university of some pressure on
freshman and sophomore levels.”
The recent article .you ran on
the “unethical practices” of the
local doctors in connection with
drop-outs from the Corps points
out a definite problem that exists
on our campus. But gentlemen,
an “investigation” of the “un
ethical” practices of the local
doctors is by no means a solution
to the problem.
TCU To Build
Campus Museum
TCU’s Student Congress ap
proved unanimously last week
the building of a small rock-wall-
ed museum on the main campus.
The resolution will now be for
warded to University Chancellor
M. E. Sadler for further action.
The student group recommend-
(1) I doubt if anyone in the
Corps (or in the Student Senate)
is in any position to declare the
practice of a qualified M.D. as
“unethical.” This is the func
tion of courts. (2) If names of
doctors are used in The Battalion,
the college is laying itself open
to a law-suit by the doctors. This
certainly would not be very good
publicity for the college or make
for very good public relations
with the people in the local area.
any position to give a reason to
explain every case. But there is
one obvious solution. If the Corps
were put back on a voluntary
basis for entering freshmen, then
many of the “reasons” for leav
ing the Corps would vanish.
After all, last spring when the
student opinion poll was held, a
majority of the students polled
wanted the Corps to again be
come non-compulsory. The ad
vantages this would have are ob
vious. There would certainly exist
a better espirit de corps to say
the least. I was very disheartened
to learn that the Century Coun
cil took no action in this direc
tion, weren’t you ?

The Battalion:
I would like to take this op
portunity to thank Patrolman
Floyd Tippit of the Texas De
partment of Public Safety for his
fine presentation of “Signal 30”
at Guion Hall Monday night. Fur
thermore, we of the Insurance So
ciety are deeply grateful to The
Battalion, KORA, WTAW and
The Bryan Daily- Eagle for their
cooperation prior to the film.
The standing room audience
would never have been possible
without the assistance of these
facilities, and their most gener
ous representatives.
After the movie Mr. Tippit,
Henry Lyles (sponsor of the In
surance Society) and myself made
immediate plans for a future
showing of the film. Tentative
date has been set for the week
prior to the Easter holidays. Per
haps a double showing will be in
order if the audience turn-out
warrants it.
“Signal or Code 30” is the High
way Patrol death code. It is not
a pretty movie, nor was it made
for the entertanment of small

children. The film is a factual,
bloody and grotesque series of
highway accidents, their causes
and inevitable results.
It is my sineerest desire that
we may learn from the horrible
misfortunes of those “Code 30”
victims. As was stated in the
film, “the actors paid with their
lives.” Perhaps we may profit.
If you missed “Signal 30,” come
back before Easter. For those
of us who saw it, may we take
heed. Silver Taps is a tradition
that only you can eliminate. May
God, and a little safety,
us do so.

In the background of the U. N.
ag-reement that disarmament can
be achieved without upsetting na
tional economies also lies the
still expressed Soviet belief that
a Communist economy is best and
that the capitalist economy can
be “buried.”
Soviet economists have for
years, while giving lip service to
the disarmament idea, been con
tending out of the other side of
their mouths that the capitalist
economy does depend upon war
production.
Therein lies the reason for what
Western delegates call “the trap”
which the Communists hanl
sought to set at Geneva. If titi

Action: Now under Army test, a Ford-designed glass filament torsion
bar that’s lighter, stronger, more flexible than steel
“Looks like you’ve got something there," the Army Tank
Command said in effect to Ford Motor Company engineers.
“Let’s do afeasibility study on tracklaying military vehicles."
The story begins in 1957 when Ford engineers conceived
the idea of a plastic-bonded glass filament torsion bar tor
vehicle suspension systems, It was a revolutionary departure
from the use of solid steel. It promised dramatic weight
savings in battle tanks, in personnel carriers and other
military vehicles. For example, as much as 1,000 pounds
in medium tanks.

Compared to steel, the tubular-shaped glass filament com
position has greater energy storage potential—is stronger
and more flexible under heavy load. It may well prove to be
the automobile suspension material of tomorrow . . . cars
suspended on glass!
