Members of the Silver Spurs,
an honorary organization at the
University of Texas, and their
newly selected Rowels were stop
ped in the mist of their “riding”
activities last week by the Austin
Police Department.
Traditionally, old and new
members of the group engage in
the game of “capturing” each
other for “rides.”
Police investigation cleared the
group of the complaint made by
a resident in the area where they
were “riding.” The citizen told
the police that he thought that
the boys who created the distur
bance near his house were not
members of the Silver Spurs.

protect pedestrians.
The group will have either
members of campus service
groups or maintenance people to
put up barriers around the Circle
between classes during the week
of April 22-27.
If the experiment is well receiv
ed an effort will be made to in-
stall electronically controlled
gates to regulate the traffic.

Discuss Code
Students and faculty members
at Baylor University entered into
disagreement last week during
a session on a proposed honor
code.
The debate centered around the
severity of punishment for cheat
ing prescribed in the new code.
A faculty member suggested
that the committee make some
provision in the code for extenu
ating circumstances.
Students at the meeting gener
ally expressed a feeling that
“cheating is cheating” regardless
of the circumstances.

General Walker is concerned

Thus, General Walker for a
brief period became the first poli
tical prisoner in the United States.
This is a situation that warrents
a serious assessment of where we
are and where we are going. If
this legal precedent is set, we are
in serious trouble in the years
ahead.
ALL OF THIS comes at a time
when the Communist party here
in the United States is openly
defying the laws of the land that
require it and its members to re
gister with the Department of
Justice.
I was counsel to the United
States Senate Internal Security
Subcommittee of the Judiciary
Committee for five years and
had to watch the way Gommuni-
ists were treated after their ar
rests under the Smith Act, the
various espionage acts and related
legislation.
Not one hard-core Khrushchev
henchman was treated the way
General Walker was treated.
Every Communist was scrupul
ously accorded his rights under
the Constitution.
Good proof of this is that virt
ually every Communist arrested
under the Smith Act has had his
conviction set aside by judicial
decision.
THIS DANGEROUS double
standard can be serious. First
of all, it gives the impression to
all the world that if you go along
with the Communists all will be
well. If you Identify yourself
with resistance to Communists as
General Walker has,’on the other
hand, you encounter a plague of
troubles.
The Walker case involves a
dangerous precedent. A United
States citizen in the future may
wish to protest the action of the
federal government in something
other than overriding the author
ity of the State of Mississippi.
He may wish, for instance, to pro
test being merged under the ban
ner of th6 United Nations with
Mr. Kiselev as his leader.
If he engages in peaceable as
sembly to raise his voice in pro
test, he could be rushed off to a
federal prison hospital, ordered
held for psychiatric observation,
denied bail, denied a public trial
and denied even the writ of habeas
of corpus.

Editor,
The Battalion:
Sevei’al girls from.T.W.U. have
received copies of a letter writ
ten by Peggy Armstrong, which
appeared in the March 27, Bat
talion, and we would like to brief
ly comment on our reactions.
Every opportunity we’ve had to
visit A&M, we have thoroughly
enjoyed being ladies appreciated
by gentlemen, not animals, tra
ditions and fun are valuable me
mories to each of us. We feel the
water throwing crew was a lost
delegation from Texas (they were
slightly “out of it” when they left
the Southwestern Journalism Con
ference held in Denton) or per
haps Miss Armstrong is attempt
ing to secure a position on the
Time magazine staff. Her letter
to The Battalion would be an ex
cellent reference. We also feel
if Miss Armstrong participated in
T.W.U. affairs, Stunts, etc., she
would realize not only Aggies
throw water.
We hope her letter did not ad
versely influence the attitude of
Aggies toward Tessies, because
in conducting a random poll we
discovered girls do like Aggies
and AGGIES DO LIKE GIRLS.
Gung-ho always,

Editor,
The Battalion,
I noticed the other day a let
ter to the editor in The Battalion
from a Miss Peggy Armstrong, a
journalism major from T.W.U.
In this letter Miss Armstrong
complained long and loud about
some water thrown from a dormi
tory window here which narrowly
missed her. From this incident
Miss Armstrong appeared, in her
letter, to conclude that all Aggies
are brutes, animals and woman-
haters. She ended her letter by
saying, “There is a lot wrong
with guys who don’t like for girls
to be around.”
I would like to compliment her
on her ability with a pen, she
most ably axed the Aggies.
I feel myself to be perhaps
peculiarly qualified to write an
answer to her complaint, as I met
Miss Armstrong for the first
time shortly after this most,
most horrible incident occurred.
At this time she was not particu
larly incensed about the deluge at
Mitchell Hall. In fact, she seem
ed to rather like Aggies at this
time, and I’m quite sure she
didn’t feel that Aggies were anti-

female.
Now I’m rather the shy type,
but I must admit that about an
hour after I first met Miss Arm
strong we were . . . uh, . . . uh,
... well, watching the grass
grow at Kyle Field. All this
leads me to believe that Miss
Armstrong wasn’t and isn’t par
ticularly angry about her near-
miss by the water. Instead, I am
afraid that her letter was sim
ply an endeavor to add a feather
to her journalistic cap.
I must admit, I’ve committed
an act which is both ungentle-
manly and un-Aggielike — I’ve
kissed and told. However, I feel
that her defamatory letter called
for a rather drastic counter-ac
tion.
It is with some trepidation that
1 submit this letter as I some
how feel that it will end the
promising exchange of letters that
she and I have carried on for the
past two weeks.

The campaign may reflect an

The future of Premier Khrush

both the party and the armed

The party crackdown seems to
reflect even the Chinese-Soviet

for Khrushchev’s hide, and it is
possible the Chinese have some
sympathetic hearers among older
