THE BATTALION Pag« 2 College Station, Texas Friday, December 14, 1962 | Looking Back . . . cadet SLOUCH by Jim Earle West Keeps Close Watch On Soviet Union Actions At This Week Study Begins Of Dining Halls The Student Senate began a study Thursday of meal arrange ments in the college dining halls. A member of the senate, Shelly Veselka, met with dining hall of ficials during a meal-planning session and offered suggestions for more random meal arrange ments rather than regular oc curence of the same meals. The meeting came as a result of a Senate discussion with John G. Peniston, dining hall food man ager. Peniston explained that undei’ the present system each student is fed for $1.50 per day. Only 15 minutes is allowed for serving. The food manager explained that changes are being consider ed and that the dining halls might serve cafeteria-style after new dormitories are completed. This arrangement would allow serving from 11 a.m. - 2 p.m., with classes being scheduled dur ing the noon hour. Fish Hit 100 Cage Point Total The Fish basketball team made the year’s first victory a mem orable one Tuesday night by rack ing up 100 points against the Allen Academy Ramblers in G. Rollie White Coliseum. Incomplete records indicate that the 100 points is probably a school record. The highest var sity point production is 95, achi eved last year against Centenary. Four cagers hit in double fi gures to lead the scoring parade. Billy Atkinson registered 21, John Beasley had 20, Dick String- fellow countered 19 and Dick Rec tor had 13.

As a matter of fact, they’re selling- so well it’s getting dangerous.” Sound Off Editor, The Battalion: The local press coverage for what has been called “one of the great days in our institution’s history” — I mean, of course, the convocation seems to me to have been remarkably inept, be ing relegated to the status of a second lead to the reporting ac cording- that symbol of education excellence, the bonfire. One would expect the local house organ at'least to have ack nowledged that there were four major talks in the forenoon, yet I have looked in vain for any mention of the speeches delivered at the meetings of the schools of agriculture, arts and sciences and veterinary medicine. And in the two other newspapers I have ex amined rather closely, one local and one metropolitan daily, only the talks delivered before the schools of engineering and agri culture were mentioned, the latter only superficially. I cannot vouch for the success of the other three occasions, al though by word-of-mouth report the speeches were good and well- attended, but I can say that the 500 or 600 people in attendance at the arts and sciences meeting, at which Dr. F. Champion Ward spoke on “New Missions for A- mericans,” heard a thoughtful and stimulating address of rare qual ity. It is to be wished that we Could stop patting ourselves on the back long enough to give at least a summary of what was said at all the meetings. While I find it extremely interesting to know that the world will eventual ly have satellite communication, surely this is not the only worth while thing that was said by four distinguished men in four hours before hundreds of people. R. W. Barzak ★ ★ ★ the rest of the entire world. How ever I had to be a bit partial to Texas because my daughter is one of the cheerleaders there. Excusable partiality, I hope. The reason for this letter,* how ever, is to express my apprecia tion of your magnificant band. I cannot find words adequate enough to describe my feelings. It is by all odds the finest band I have ever seen and I am proud to be in the same state with these magnificant young men of Texas A&M. To say the least, Mrs. Thomsen and I were thrilled through and through. Dan Thomsen, Amarillo By J. M. ROBERTS Associated Press News Analyst The Western world will be watching closely during the next few months to see whether the Soviet Union, having confirmed her political split with Red China and made at least a partial peace with Yugoslavia, will resume her pushing tactics in an easterly or westerly direction. The appearance of Yugoslav Marshal Tito before the Supreme Soviet represents an outward achievement, though it may not be fundamental or complete, of a goal Soviet Premier Khrushchev set for himself in the first days of his accession to power. It is important not only as a reweaving of badly tangled Com munist threads in Europe, but also among the new nations which have sometime revolved between and sometimes within the policies of India and those of the Bel- grade-Cairo semi-axis. It divides Red China from what we once called Titoism, which set the example for national Commu nist independence from Moscow centralism. Nobody knows what blandish ments were offered Tito. Probably they are primarily a promise of resumption of a more natural re lationship between Yugoslavia’s not-too-viable economy and that of Eastern Europe, down the Danube. Tito probably is paying only with small lip service in the Moscow-Peking split, and not giv ing up any real independence. Yugoslavia, well remembering- old wounds, always has been on the side of the Soviet divisionist policy toward Germany.- Andrei A. Gromyko, the Soviet foreign minister, was chosen to carry on the discussion of this matter Thursday where Khrush chev left off. Aside from the major effort to make it appear the Soviet Union acted in Cuba only against a threat to peace and intended no offense — which is correct only as to the latter part, the action really having been an effort to apply political pressure — Ger many is so far the chief East- West issue mentioned. “Sports Car Center” Dealers for Rena ult-Peugeot & British Motor Cars Sales—Parts—Service “We Service All Foreign Cars”; 1416 Texas Ave. TA 2-4517* JJi ■ ■ M jJ ■ j j *■■■»■■«*■»»««•" FOR SENIORS ONLY!
