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.”

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.

Evaluation Team Visit
Slated Here In April
A visit by an evaluation of the
Southern Association of Colleges
and Schools is scheduled here April
21-24.
Dean of Instruction William J.
Graff said administrators, faculty
and staff have been preparing for
almost two years for the visit.
The Faculty-Staff-Student Aspira
tions Study and the Century Study
were the first phases of the col
lege’s preparations for the self-
study program.
A REPORT about A&M has been
completed and the first copies
should be available in limited num
ber Friday, Graff said.
“Accreditation is advantageous
to the student, the college and the
state,” the dean said. “By the
means of institutional accredita
tion the student can be assured of
getting what he needs during his
college years.”
The association is the regional
accrediting agency whose z’epre-
sentatives visit campuses in the
14 southern states.
The evaluation committee named
to visit A&M includes 13 special
ists in various major fields. These
specialists, with one exception,
come from other colleges and uni
versities which also hold member
ship in the association.
DEAN M. C. HUNTLEY of Au

Test Ban Demands
Reduced By U. S.
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.

in the region.
