Pitzer announced last week that there is “a possibility” that pro visions will be made to house Rice coeds in a new dormitory at the Nursing School of Texas Wo man’s University in Houston. University officials are first circulating a questionnaire among Rice girls to determine the pop ularity of such a plan. According to Pitzer, cost would be approximately the same as at Jones College, a dormitory com plex at the school. The presi dent added that regulations would also be practically identical. The first indication of student interest apparently came on Dec. 8 when several copies of a notice appeared on bulletin boards on the campus. These requested the signatures of resident students who might be interested in living in the new dormitory next se mester. for a decision on the suit before taking any action, and has not changed any of its policies since the suit was filed. Coed housing at the university is completely segregated, while portions of some men’s dormitor ies have been integrated. Baylor Starts New Magazine Baylor President Abner McCall last week okayed plans for the formation of a campus magazine under the auspices of the school’s Department of Journalism. The newly appointed editor said the magazine would be a journal istic magazine with in-depth news reporting, newsfeatures, short stories and “other magazine-type material.” If the first issue of the maga zine is successful, the periodical will be issued four times yearly.

(Special to The Battalion) WASHINGTON — Two recent studies reach the same conclusion —that ability to pay is a major factor in starting and completing a college education. Two decades of the Sears-Roe- buck Foundation agricultural scholarship program at land- grant institutions have proved conclusively that where there is scholarship money coupled with low tuition, there is also a high percentage of college graduates. And a National Science Foun dation study shows just as con clusively that where money is not available to pay college costs, able high school graduates just SUITS 15% OFF Introducing our new SENIOR PLAN Buy now — Pay later On the Senior Installment Plan you pay Mj down and the balance due in 60 days.

A survey of the 11,000 win ners of freshman Sears agricul tural scholarships in the years 1936-56 shows that 78.5 per cent of the recipients earned degrees at the bachelor’s level and over. More than 13 per cent of this number earned a master’s degree, five per cent a Ph.D. Close to three per cent graduated as Doc tors of Veterinary Medicine and an additional two per cent earned other graduate degrees. At the same time, the NSF study, made late in the period of the Sears study, found that in the top 30 per cent of ability levels, less than 45 per cent of the boys and 30 per cent of the girls graduating from high school completed an undergraduate col lege education, of the top 10 per cent, 55 per cent of the males and 40 per cent of the females graduated from college. More than 75 per cent of the scholarship winners who replied to the Sears questionnaire felt that the financial assistance giv en by the foundation was “sub stantial or vital.” Some 64 per cent declared that the Sears scholarship assistance was, in addition, “a substantial or vital incentive to further education.” The NSF study, “The Duration of Formal Education for High Ability Youth,” declared that among the upper 30 per cent of 17-year-olds, “the largest single reason for failure to enter col lege appears to be inadequate fi nancial resources.” The study went on to say that lack of money caused up to one-half of the male college drop-outs and one-third of the female.

RYAN AP Special Correspondent Reports from inside Commun ist Cuba raise the possibility that the Soviets still may have wea pons hidden there and underscore Washington worry over the pres ence of large numbers of Soviet troops on the island. Informants who recently trav eled in Cuba say: Something mysterious has been going on involving Soviet troops and installations; Despite the release of Bay of Pigs invasion captives, Cuba re mains an island of terror and re pression. At least 25,000 polit ical convicts are in prisons and tens of thousands are regularly detained and investigated; The food situation remains bad, although there has been slight improvement in the capital. Con sumer goods such as shoes are just about unobtainable. The Castro regime is not likely to fall from economic causes be cause the terror machine is too efficient to permit a “Cuban” so lution to Castroism. Diplomatically the Cuban crisis of last October has become a closed book at the United Na tions. But Washington officials say as many as 17,000 Soviet troops remain in Cuba. Other reports put the figure higher. What is their role? Would they inter vene, Hungary-style, if Cubans themselves attempted to rise against the Castro regime ? Are they there to man Soviet installa tions or is their primary role to keep the Communists in power? It’s probably something of both, the informants say. These sources give this picture of Cuba in the wake of the crisis: Mysterious tunnel-boring has been going on in some areas. Critic Hurls ‘Red’’ Charge At Literature (Special to The Battalion) SAN FRANCISCO—Critic Les lie Fiedler said Monday that “a flood” of American novelists are grinding out books based on a ‘better Red than dead’ ideology. The novelists—spearheaded by Norman Mailer, author of “The Naked and the Dead”—believe that “no cause is worth dying for,” Fiedler wrote in the Jan uary issue of Ramparts, a new national Catholic magazine. Fiedler said that such novels symbolize the end of the concept of honor. We have reached a moment in Western culture when men, “still nominally Christian, come to believe that the worst thing of all is to die,” he said. The post World War I anti-war novels of Hemingway and Faulk ner led the way, Fiedler said, for the “flood” of novels since the 40Ts where the “draft-dodger, the gokibrick and the crap-out” are the new heroes.
