Got a letter from G. Clifford
Prout the other day. Prout is
president of the Society for In
decency to Naked Animals, and
he wanted to let us know that
he’ll be on campus sometime dur
ing March.
Prout inherited $400,000 in 1956
from his father, and by terms of
the will, has to spend the entire
sum within ten years for improv
ing the moral climate of animals.
To spend the money he formed
the society (SINA) and has as
his main goal the clothing of
naked animals.
SINA’s constitution provides:
“...members of SINA shall
devote their time and energy to
clothe all naked animals that ap
pear in public, namely horses,
cows, dogs and cats, including
any animal that stands higher
than four inches or is longer than
six inches.”
The Southwest Conference ended another basketball
season Thursday—one that may be best remembered not for
the quality of basketball displayed, but for the distinct fail
ing- in sportsmanship display on at least three occasions.
During a season when Texas compiled one of the league’s
best records ever and while Bennie Lenox and Kendall Rhine
engaged in one of the hottest scoring duels, must conference
publicity was devoted to the unsportsmanlike conduct of
players and fans alike.
Heading the list, of course, would be the Aggie-Texas
riot at the game in Austin—a conflict which was publicized
all across the country and even in the foreign press. But
equally as distasteful were disagreements at the Rice-Texas
Tech game in Lubbock and at Tuesday’s Texas-Baylor game
in Waco. At Lubbock and Waco both, fights broke out on the
floor among players. None were hurt in Waco, but several
players required care after the Lubbock scrap.
In addition to the actual disagreements, strained rela
tions were noticable in several other games, including Tues
day’s Aggie contest in Houston against Rice when at one
point two players squarred off but were quickly separated.
And in the Aggie-Rice game in G. Rollie White Coliseum
earlier in the season, two players were ejected from the game
before a fight could break out.
Unfortunately, disciplinary action of any sort like the
ejection of players was seldom used during the season. And
technical fouls were also infrequently called.
Maybe such corrective action during the game is not the
answer to the SWC’s sportsmanship problems, but surely
conference officials can see the writing on the wall—relations
are strained and some definite steps are going to be desire-
able before another season begins next year. Another con
ference season under current conditions would result in only
more disputes and fisticuffs.
“Nobody realizes what a terri
ble moral menace naked animals
really are,” Prout says.
Prout has a corps of SINA
members ready to march on the
White House now, to protest Mrs.
Kennedy’s rides with Caroline on
nude horses. “SINA has so fax-
ignored this situatioix because the
President’s family have been dis
creet enough to do most of their
riding- in private,” a headquar
ters bulletin explained.
Currently an essay contest on
“Why I Choose To Be A Decent
Pei'son” is being- sponsox-ed by the
ox-g-anization. The winner will

TOKYO CP) _ Red China has
attacked the pxdnciple of big pow

plan that seems aimed at whit
tling 1 down the world influence of
the United States and the Soviet
Union.
The Chinese proposal was ad
vanced at the African-Asian peo
ples solidarity conference at
Moshi, Tanganyika. It calls for
settlement of the world’s prob
lems by joint action of all coun
tries, big and small, on an equal
basis.
“The emergence of a number
of independent counti’ies in Asia
and Africa has changed the phy
siognomy of the world,” Chinese
delegate Liu Ning-yi told the
confei’ence in a speech whose
text was broadcast by Peking
Radio.
