New Buildup
In Red Cuba
Stirs Scions
WASHINGTON (Ah—The Cuban
issue erupted with renewed force
in the Senate Wednesday over re
ports of a new around-the-clock
Soviet military buildup on Prime
Minister Fidel Castro’s island. Sen.
Wayne Morse, D-Ore., ordered an
immediate investigation.
Morse said he has asked the
State Department for a quick
briefing for his Senate Latin-
American Affairs subcommittee.
His staff said, it has been tenta
tively set for 10 a.m. Friday. Wit
nesses were to be announced Thurs
day.
Sen. Kenneth B. Keating, R-
N.Y., who was one of the first
to sound the alarm last year over
reports of Soviet offensive mis
siles in Cuba, also told a reporter
he has “confirmed by official gov
ernment Sources” that a new in
tensive buildup is under way.
He said it involves tanks, guns,
amphibious vehicles, large amounts
of ammunition, planes, torpedo
boats and other Soviet weapons
pouring into the island.
A flurry was touched off by a
New York Times News Service re
port that the Soviet Union is
building and improving “highly
sophisticated ground and air de
fenses.”

As Cold Wave
Still, Lingers
By The Associated Press
Texas’ cold wave crashed through
the zero mark Wednesday and
Thursday, bringing temperatures
as low as 10 below in far North
west Texas.
A hard freeze was felt every

ing, with conditions particularly
bad in the Lower Rio Grande Val
ley where crop damage was ex
pected to be especially heavy.

His Jazz Quartet
To Campus Feb. 4
The Dave Bnibeck Quartet will
present a two-hour program of
modern jazz, Brubeck style, on
Feb. 4, the first day of classes
in the spring semester.
Sponsored by Town Hall, the
program will be given in G. Rollie
White Coliseum. Tickets will sell
for $2.50, with no seats being re
served. Students will be admitted
with student activity cards.
Featured in the group is Bru
beck at the piano; however, each
member of the quartet has also
won recognition. Appearing with
Brubeck will be Paul Desmond, the
foursome’s alto sajcophone player,
who was recently selected by read
ers of Down Beat magazine as tops
in his field.
Also honored by Down Beat was
the group’s drummer, Joe Morello,
a winner of many honors in his
field. The f ourth, and newest,
member of the group is bass player
Gene Wright. Even before he
joined the Brubeck Quartet in
1958, Wright had gained recogni
tion as an accomplished bass
player.
In 1951 San Francisco’s jazz im
presario Jimmy Lyons introduced
an unknown trio to audiences at
the city’s jazz mecca, the Black-
hawk Club.
Two years later, this Brubeck
group had expanded into a quartet
and had begun to win popularity
polls from such magazines as
Down Beat and Metronome.
Even Time bestowed praise the
following year to Brubeck, when
his picture appeared on the front
cover of the magazine.
In 1958 Bnibeck and company
staged a 70-concert tour of Europe
and Asia, and later teamed with
Leonard Bernstein and the New
York Philharmonic in “Dialogues
for Jazz Combo and Orchestra,”
composed by Howard Brubeck.
Lately Brubeck has recorded
“The Real Ambassadors,” in which
he works with Louis Armstrong,
Carmen McRae and Lambert, Hen
dricks and Ross.
Altogether Bnibeck has pub
lished 21 record albums, and a
large number of pop singles.

This will be only a breather, how

pected at the beginning of next

Severe as was Texas’ cold, the
Midwest and South were in worse

A combination of Arctic cold

The South was expected to un
dergo the cold wave, with consid
erable snow, freezing lain and

NEW GOLD BARS
at Saturday afternoon ceremonies
364 Receive Sheepskins
in Saturday Graduation Rites
Three hundred sixty-four stu
dents received degrees on one of
three levels at January commence
ment exercises Saturday in G. Rol
lie White Coliseum.
Graduating with highest honors
was James Rice Sullivan, a physics
graduate from Culver City, Calif.
High honors went to Lee Feagin
Courtney and Duane Howard Mat
ters, both of Bryan, and Ralph D.
Loyd of Texarkana.
The commencement speaker, Dr.
Robert E. Goodrich Jr. of Dallas,
told the graduates “man must be
ready to change his thinking more
in the next 25 years than in the
past 2,500 years.”
DR. GOODRICH, pastor of the
First Methodist Church in Dallas,
listed four “minimum requirements
for persons living in today’s space
age.”
“First of all and basic,” he said,
“we should be persons with some
sure faith in God at the center of
our life. The form or the fashion
fact of it is essential and we had
better begin with it.”
In addition, the Dallas minister
told the 5,000 parents, faculty and
others that “we ought to be per
sons who are ready to change our
ideas. Only in this way could we
ever keep our wits in this fantastic
age.”
Another of the “minimum re
quirements” mentioned by the Dal
las pastor was “we must be per
sons who are determined to be in
volved in life. We ought to be
more than merely persons who are
caught in the world.”
THE OTHER requirement, Good
rich said, is “we need to be posi
tive persons. The world and es
pecially this nation today needs
persons who are affirmative in
hope and positive in attitude.”
