Rice Girls Eye
TWU Nurse Dorm
Rice University President K. S.
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.

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.

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

cannot go on to college.
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.

Red Weapons May Stilll *
Be Hidden With Castro ^
By WILLIAM L. 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.

This pen can save you important money on car
tridges. And last longer. Ours are BIGGER and last
longer (each is good for 8 or 9 thousand words).
But, even if you didn't save a dime, this pen would
be worth the price. It's a Parker,.
Only Parker gives you a solid 14K gold point,
tipped with plathenium —one of the hardest,
smoothest alloys ever developed. It should last you
for years no matter how much you use it.
This pen won't leak the way the cheap ones do
—it has a built-in safety reservoir. It must meet most
of the tough specifications we set for $10 pens.
The Parker Arrow comes in black, dark blue, light
blue, light grey, and bright red, with a choice of
four instantly replaceable solid 14k gold points.
A beautifully expressive gift,
