m'ined. They said they are pre

Cuban Caves
Hold Weapons
WASHINGTON OP) — The
Army’s top intelligence officer
said Wednesday that Soviet mili
tary supplies, including ammuni
tion, vehicles and aircraft, pro
bably are stored in thousands of
caves in Cuba, but not offensive
missiles or bombers.
Maj. Gen. Alva R. Fitch also
voiced doubt there are any nucle
ar warheads on the island.
Soviet ground force withdrawals
so far appear to be limited to
those associated with the inter
mediate— and medium-range mis
siles removed under U. S. pressure
last October, he added.
Fitch expressed his views at a
dosed hearing of the Senate
Armed Services preparedness sub
committee.
Education Body

Thirty local men petitioned suc

The fraternity aims at promotion

“ESTABLISHMENT OF the

the field of education and it should
stimulate research and interest in
public school education,” said S.

Valley Phi Delta Kappa Club. He
heads the Counseling and Testing
Center here.
The new field chapter may ac
cept members from Brazos, Bur

sarling, head of the Department of
Education and Psychology.

this area came from Dr. Clifford

A&M Will Be
One Of Stations
Tracking S-66
A&M will be one of the data
receiving stations for the satellite
“S-66” which will be launched this
month by the National Aeronautics
and Space Administration to gather
information about the ionosphere.
Data transmitted by the satellite
will be received by an A&M re
search group headed by Dr. John
P. German, professor of electrical
engineering.
OTHER MEMBERS of the group
are Glenn Gaustad and Wayne F.
Wilson, graduate research assist
ants, who are using the study in
connection with thesis projects.
German said the data will be
collected through special antennas
mounted on top of Bolton Hall
and receiving and recording equip
ment within the building. The
Data Processing Center also will
be used in the work.
Along with A&M, which is par
ticipating through its Texas En
gineering Experiment Station, 54
other institutions are in the S-66
receiving network. Eleven are in
the United States. The other 43
are scattered throughout the world,
with the greatest number in Eu
rope.
GERMAN SAID NASA is seek
ing data for its Faraday rotation
studies (to provide integrated elec
tron content), for scintillation stu
dies (to provide information on
size and shape of ionospheric ir
regularities) and Doppler studies
(to provide orbital as well as elec
tron content information).
The A&M group has already been
receiving data from many of the
approximately 200 satellites now
in orbit, German said. It has thus
been able to adapt and improve its
equipment for top effectiveness in
the S-66 study program.
Pentagon Changes Plans
For High School ROTC
WASHINGTON LT*)—The Pentagon, in the face of buzz-
saw opposition in Congress, abandoned Wednesday its plan
to abolish the high school Reserve Officers Training Corps
and indicated instead proposals to expand it are acceptable.
Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara had sought
approval from Congress to end support of the program effec
tive July 1.
An Assistant Secretary told a House subcommittee of
the shift in position after a hint that a fight over junior
ROTC could spell trouble for the proposed overhaul of the
college ROTC.
Subcommittee Chairman F. Edward Hebert, D-La., who
had opposed the cutback since it was first suggested, said
it was “sudden, cynical and short-sighted.” Since the program
is almost 50 years old, he said, “the Army is indeed remark
ably slow in becoming aware of its mistakes.”
UNIVERSITY 9 AGREED ESSENTIAL
Students Give Varied Views
On Name - Change Proposal
BY KENT JOHNSTON
Battalion Staff Writer
Most Aggies interviewed this
week about A&M’s name change
were in favor of calling the
school a university.
Out of 50 students polled, 78
per cent favored adopting a
name for A&M which would in
clude the word university.
TVelve per cent opposed the
name change and ten per cent
were apathetic or undecided.
“Texas A&M University” was
the name preferred by 58 per
cent of the Aggies, and “Texas
State University and the Agri-
cultural and Mechanical College”
was the name wanted by 20 per
cent. Twelve per cent had no
preference.
Many of the students polled
gave enthusiastic opinions about
a question raised by Sen. W. T.
Moore of Bryan, a veteran legis
lator and an Aggie ex who was
graduated in 1940.
Moore called the proposed
adoption of the name “Texas
A&M University,” with A & M
used as initials only, “a serious
mistake.” He favors “Texas
State University and the Agri
cultural and Mechanical Col
lege,” a name style used by most
land grant universities.
Several students agreed with
Moore.
Harold Maxwell, an Albany
senior majoring in industrial
distribution, said :
“My opinion is the same as
Moore’s. A&M should be called
Texas State University and the
Agricultural and Mechanical Col
lege because of the names used
by other land grant universi
ties.”
James Carter, junior veteri
nary student from Shreveport,
La., said:
“I favor the name Texas State
University and the Agricultural
and Mechanical College because
it shows that A&M is a land
grant institution, and it more
adequately describes the school.
“Not only is A&M a univer
sity, but it specializes in the
agricultural and mechanical
fields.”
Some of Moore’s opposition
feel that the identity of A&M
would be lost if the school were
called Texas State University.
Others pointed out the similarity
between Texas University and
