Best Possible Step, But...
The Memorial Student Center Council probably took the
best possible step Monday night in agreeing to ask for a
graduate school representative to fill the one remaining seat
on the 15-member council.
A Student Senate representative has always filled the
now vacant seat, but the senate had previously decided not
to send a representative to the MSC governing group. For
over a year, the two groups were in disagreement over the
council position, but now maybe the fog has cleared and the
council will be able to operate at full capacity.
Filling the vacant seat was mandatory because a majori
ty of eight students over seven faculty-staff-former student
members is required by the council’s constitution.
The Battalion will nevei’ be able to see a real reason for
the long-standing disagreement between the senate and the
council, but now maybe the two groups will be able to function
without having to worry about each other. It is only regret-
able that the two must operate apart from each other, and
not together.
What Does He Want?
Representative David Haines’ vow to seek legislation
admitting coeds to A&M came as no real surprise, since the
young Aggie ex had said during his campaign that he favored
admitting girls to the college.
Haines’ latest proposal, however, could create almost as
many problems as the entire coed issue has already created
through the years. Haines said he would seek the admission
of coeds on a day student basis, but failed to define what he
meant by “day student.”
. . It’s our newest tradition—keepin’ Sully warm!”
As the college now operates, day students are all students
who do not live in campus dormitories. Haines, however,
supposedly wants the passage of his proposal to give Bryan-
College Station girls a chance to attend A&M.
In other words, if Haines’ suggestion were to become
law as now stated, any girl in the world could attend A&M
as long as she did not live in a campus dormitory.
Possibly a definition of terms is called for before anyone
really knows what our representative wants.

Soviet Premier Khrushchev has
warned Red China that she would
be mighty small potatoes in a
nuclear war involving the United
States, has staged a pep meeting
for the East German Commu
nists, and left Soviet relations
with the West unchanged.
He continues to back away
from any real crisis over West
Berlin, Satisfying himself with a
typical campaign promise that
Communist East Germany will
eventually take over all Ger
many.
He has softened previous proc
lamations about Soviet interfer
ence in individual class wars. He
still claims to have earned a
profit from last year’s adventure
in Cuba. He defends what the
Chinese call his backdown.
But it is obvious that he will
not forget the lessons taught by
the United States in that inci
dent.
By admitting openly that com
munism cannot expand by war,
and by recognizing a lack of ur
gency regarding a Berlin settle
ment, he probably is only asking
the West not to push him while
he is hurting.
He further divorces himself
from Cuba’s Fidel Castro, who
only Tuesday night plumped for
the Peking’ line that revolution
must be carried forward by war.
In effect he warns the East
Germans not to expect the Soviet
Union to use her big weapons
against West Germany and
France because East Germany
would be hit, too.
But his hardest point was di
rected against Peking with his
reminder that the United States
had the capacity for killing 700
million to 800 million people.
Since only about 200 million of
these could be in the Soviet Un
ion, the inference is only too
obvious.
He said the Soviet Union was
stepping on the economic heels
of the United States, a slight
exaggeration, to say the least.
But the reference might cause a
lot of satellite peoples to won
der, if the Communist center is
doing so well, what’s happening
to their share. East Germans, in
particular, are not doing so well
at all.
All the olive branches Khrush
chev held out to the West are old
and withered by previous refu
sals.

PHILADELPHIA — “Campus

This statement was made by.
Professor William W. Van Al-

speakers from campus.

Certain organizations, such as
the American Civil Liberties Un
ion, the National Student Associ
ation, and the American Associ
ation of University Professors,
have strenuously objected to this
state of affairs, Van Alstyne
said. The latter two organiza
tions have based their arguments
essentially on policy grounds,
and not on constitutional rights.
The American Bar Associa
tion’s Committee on the Bill of
Rights, however, “is of the opin
ion that ‘no question of the Bill
of Rights is involved’ where uni
versity officials decide that
spokesmen for the Communist
party shall be denied access to
university facilities ordinarily
available for guest speakers.”
But Van Alstyne takes issue
with this position. He argues
that much of what the NS A and
AAUP urge on policy grounds is
in fact fully supported by con
stitutional mandates. It is the
thesis of his article that “the

INFERIORITY CAN BE FUN
The second gravest problem confronting college students to
day is inferiority feelings. (The first gravest problem is of
course, the recent outbreak of moult among sorority house
canaries.) Let us today look into the causes of inferiority
feelings and their possible cures.
Psychologists divide inferiority feelings into tliree principal
categories:
1. Physical inferiority,
2. Mental inferiority.
3. Financial inferiority.
(A few say there is also a fourth category: ichthyological
inferiority—a feeling that other people have prettier fish-
but I believe this is common only along the coasts and in the
Great Lakes area.)
Let us start with the feeling of physical inferiority, perhaps
the easiest to understand. Naturally we are inclined to feel
inferior to the brawny football captain or the beautiful home
coming queen. But we should not. Look at all the people,
neither brawny nor beautiful, who have made their marks in
the world. Look at Napoleon. Look at Socrates. Look at
Caesar, Look at Lassie.

What I mean is that you can’t always tell what’s inside a
package by looking at the outside. (Sometimes, of course, you
can. Take Marlboro Cigarettes, for example. Just one glance
at that jolly red-and-white package—so bright and pert —so
neat but not gaudy—so perfectly in place whether you are at
a formal dinner or a beach picnic—so invariably correct for
any time, clime, or condition—one look, I say, at this paragon
of packs and you know it has to contain cigarettes of absolute
perfection. And you are right! That pure white Marlboro
filter, that fine, flavorful blend of Marlboro tobaccos, will
give you a smoke to make the welkin ring, whatever that is.
So those of you who have just been sitting and admiring your
Marlboro packs since the beginning of the semester, why don’t
you open a pack and light one? Light a cigarette, I mean-
not the package. Then you can settle back and smoke your
Marlboro and, at the same time, continue to gaze rapturously
at the pack. Thus you will be twice as happy as you are if
that is possible.)
But I digress. Let us turn now to the second category-
mental inferiority. A lot of people think they are dumber than
other people. This is not so. It must be remembered that there
are different kinds of intelligence. Take, for instance, the clas
sic case of the Sigafoos brothers, Claude and Sturbridge, stu
dents at Wake Forest. It was always assumed that Claude was
the more intelligent just because he knew more than Stur
bridge about the arts, the sciences, the social sciences, the hu
manities, and like that. Sturbridge, on the other hand, was ten
times smarter than Claude when it came to tying granny knots.
But no matter; everybody looked down on “Stupid Sturbridge,”
as they called him and looked up at “Clever Claude,” as they
called him. But who do you think turned out to be the smart
one when their granny almost got loose and ran away? You
guessed it—good old Stupid Sturbridge.
We arrive now at the final category, financial inferiority.
One way to deal with this condition is to incrAse your income.
You can, for example, become a fence. Or you can pose for a
life class, if your college is well heated.
But a better way to handle financial inferiority is to accept
it philosophically. Look on the bright side of poverty. True,
others may have more money than you have, but look at all
the things you have that they oWi—debts, for instance, and
hunger cramps.
And what about friendship? You don’t need money to have
friends, and let me tell you something, good people: the older
you get the more you will realize that nothing is so precious as
friendship, and the richest man in the world is the one with
the most money, © ines Maishuim«»
