MOORE Open Bar Bill Draws Cheers From Students AUSTIN (^P) — A House com mittee heard more than 30 wit nesses Thursday at an emotion- packed hearing on a proposal to allow mixed drinks to be sold in Texas at other than private clubs. The bill went to a three-man subcommittee composed of Reps. Paul Floyd, Houston, Joe Cannon, Mexia, and Roger Thurmond, Del Rio. At one point the chairman threatened to close the public hearing after several hundred per sons, mostly university students, cheei’ed and applauded the bill. Rep. Jake Johnson, San An tonio, sponsored the measure un der consideration by the Liquor Regulation Committee. Virtually the entire packed gal lery in the House of Representa tives stood when Johnson asked those supporting the bill to rise. “GENTLEMEN.” Johnson told the committee, “you can see it— liquor by the drink—is coming- maybe not now, but it’s certainly coming.” Rod E. Gorman, a University of Texas law student from Houston, said, “Just look into the galleries and you will see the number of young people here interested in this bill.” He told the committee that par ties attended by young people last longer and include more drinking “because you have to buy a fifth instead of just one or two drinks.” Gormam was interrupted twice by applause, including one time when he estimated “at least 90 per cent of the university students drink hard liquor.” Rep. V. E. Red Berry of San Antonio, who also spoke for the measure. Name-Change Faces House Next Week By DAN LOUIS JR. Battalion News Editor The bill to change A&M’s name to Texas A&M Univer sity will pass the state Senate with little difficulty Sen. Bill Moore. ’40. of Bryan said Thursday. But Moore criticized the proposed name as “a serious mistake.” “I don’t doubt that I can get it passed,” Moore told The Battalion in a telephone interview. The bill is slated to be intro duced to the House of Representa tives Monday or Tuesday by Rep. David G. Haines, ’51, of College Station. MOORE SAID that he will not introduce a bill for the name- change in the Senate. “I feel that it would only he wasted motion to introduce two bills,” he said. The veteran Senator continued: “I think the name selected by the Board members is a serious mis take. I prefer another name, but k I’ll go along with the Board mem bers because I feel sure* that they have good reasons for selecting the name they did.” HE SAID he prefers the name Texas State University. He said that he favors this name because it is the form most land-grant col leges have adopted and he doesn’t want some other school in the State to get the name. Moore expressed fear that if Texas A&M University is ap proved as a new name, some other school, namely Texas Tech, would probably ask for the name of Tex as State Univei’sity. In March 1961, Moore intro duced a bill to change A&M’s name to Texas State University and Ag ricultural and Mechanical College. The bill died without reaching a vote. ★ ★ ★ Student Poll Axed By Senate Brass A student poll on the proposed A&M name-change was formally called off Thursday night in a called meeting of the executive committee of the Student Senate. Student Body President Sheldon Best, in making the announcement, said: “Members of the executive com mittee, as a body, have decided to give' full support to the pro posal to change A&M’s name to Texas A&M University. The stu dent vote will be conducted only in the event the legislature does not approve the proposal present ly under study in Austin.” Dean of Students James P. Hannigan, Student Senate advisor, had stated earlier in the week that the Student Senate’s policy in the matter would probably be one of “wait and see.” Best said that it was decided to have the executive committee make some decision on the poll so that students would know what to ex pect.

WASHINGTON — The Unit ed States is drawing up a new treaty to ban nuclear weapons tests which contains lowered de mands being offered to the Soviet Union for inspections on her ter ritory. This announcement was coupled Thursday with an administration spokesman’s statement that the chances of a sneak Soviet atom ic test series without detection “are vanishingly small.” Jacob D. Beam, an assistant di rector of the U. S. Disarmament Agency, spelled out the Kennedy administration’s defense of its test ban effort in a speech in Rochester, N. Y. Beam described reduced inspec tion demands as “a concession to scientific progress, not to the So viet Union.” Announcing the drafting of the new proposed treaty, State De partment press officer Lincoln White said U. S. negotiators at the Geneva disarmament conference would offer it there to supersede the U. S. draft rteaty proposed last August. He said just when the treaty will be presented, or if it will be offered, had not yet been determined for certain. Officials said the new version would incorporate revisions at tributed to scientific advances in detection techniques and other changes in the U. S. position which have developed since last summer.
