Dallas Police
Clear Students
Of Violence
DALLAS (A 5 ) — Police Chief
Jesse Curry said Tuesday a study
of the arrests made in downtown
Dallas the night prior to the
Oklahoma-Texas football game
showed that students of the two
universities were not responsible
for the near-riot violence that
took place.
Curry said Dallasites and people
other than students created the
disturbances.
THE AREA IN the vicinity of
the intersection of Akard and
Commerce streets in downtown
Dallas was the center of pre-game
activities of many fans last Fri
day night.
Curry said the police depart
ment study was based on arrests
made in the 100 to 300 blocks of
South Akard and the 1400 and
1900 blocks of Commerce streets.
“Of the 70 arrests studied,”
Curry said, “47 involved persons
who live in Dallas and 23 involv
ed out-of-town offenders. Ages of
many violators made it strongly
improbable that they were stu
dents.”
CURRY SAID that 26 of the
arrests made by police Friday
night in the downtown area had
been handled by the police de
partment before. Sixteen of those
arrested had been taken into cus-
today at least four times in the
past and one had a record of 44
arrests.
“It is obviously unfair to blame
the students of the universities in
volved with all the difficulties we
encountered,” said Curry.
Profs To Discuss

The A&M University chapters
of the American Association of
University Professors and the Tex
as Association of College Teachers

Those on the panel are Dr. Wil
liam Clark, Department of Bio

French Teacher
Needed For Course
The Department of Modern
Languages is looking for a part-
time French teacher.
The teacher will provide

Dabbs, modern language pro
fessor, announced.
The six-week class will begin.
Monday. Other professors at
the University teaching French
are unable to take the extra
class.
“We would prefer to have
someone who is native with the
language, born and raised speak
ing French,” Dabbs added.

who plan to graduate in January

later than 5 p.m. Monday, re

sitant registrar.

Lecture Series
To Open Friday
Hungarian Exile
To Address Group
Dr. Ferenc Nagy, prime minister of Hungary before the
Communists forced him into exile in 1947, will open the new
University Lectures series at A&M University Friday at 7:30
p. m. in the Chemistry Lecture Room.
“This Significance of Central and Eastern Europe in
Present World Politics” is Dr. Nagy’s topic.
The Hungarian exile is the first of four persons scheduled
to lecture at A&M during the series.
Dr. Nagy came to the United States in 1947 after being
forced to flee his native country. While in exile he served as
chairman of the Assembly of Captive European Nations in
1961-62.
DR. FERENC NAGY
Since 1947 he also traveled'
throughout the world, includ
ing 40 trips to Europe.
While prime minister of
Hungary Dr. Nagy visited
London, Moscow, Paris and Wash
ington at the invitation of the
respective governments.
CS United Chest
Far Short Of Goal
HE HAS PUBLISHED articles
in national magazines and is au
thor of “Struggle Behind the
Iron Curtain.”
The former prime minister’s
political career is traced to 1930
when he was among the founders
of the Independent Smallholders’
Party of Hungary. He also served
as national secretary of the party.
In 1939 he was elected to the
Hungarian Parliament and two
years later was a founder and
president of the Hungarian Pea
sants’ Association.
THE NAZIS imprisoned Nagy
in 1944. Following his release he
was named president of the Hun
garian Parliament.
In 1946 he became prime mini
ster but was forced into exile the
next year.
The University of California and
the Bloomfield College and Semin
ary have awarded him honorary
doctorates.
With the 10-day drive scheduled
to close Thursday, the College
Station United Chest stands far
short of its $18,000 goal.
Dr. Chris H. Groneman, cam
paign director, Wednesday report
ed $10,975.44, or 61 per cent, of the
anticipated budget had been raised.
“Unless all of us get behind the
drive in the fading hours, we will
not go over the top,” he pointed
out. “The current campaign total
falls below the three-fourths mark

achieved at this time last year.
In addition, this year f s budget is
$1,000 more than last year’s.”
“It is imperative that the volun
teer workers contact all prospects
in their respective departments or
agencies,” Groneman urged. “The
United Way is an effort to pre
vent repeated solicitations during
the year with separate drives for
the different vital agencies.”
Three more College Station
groups earned silver certificates
when all employes contributed to
the United Chest. They are the
Courtney Humble Service Station,
University National Bank and the
A&M Journalism Department.
Less than 10 per cent of Texas
A&M University departments and
agencies have given amounts equal
ling last year’s gifts, Groneman
reported.
“Let’s make the two remaining
reports count and go over the
top,” he appealed. “We did it
last year and we can do it again.”
New York Mirror
Ceases Publication
NEW YORK <A>) — The New
York Mirror, a morning tabloid
and the nation’s second newspaper
in daily circulation, announced
Tuesday night that is is ceasing
publication.
The publisher of the Mirror
the Hearst Corp., annuonced that
Tuesday night’s editions, dated
Wednesday, will be the last.
The Mirror’s name, good will
and physical assets have been pur
chased by the New York Daily
News, the rival tabloid in the New
York morning newpaper field.
The Mirror was founded some
40 years ago, as a competitor

and thriving tabloid field.
The Mirror, with a daily cir
culation of about 882,000 was sec
ond only to the Daily News, with
a national high of nearly two
million daily circulation.
Reports of its demise have been
recurrent in recent years and were
heightened during last winter’s
114-day New York newspaper
blackout. However, in January,
Mirror Publisher Charles B. Mc
Cabe answered the rumors with
the announcement that the Mir
ror “will be around for a long
time.”

Development Fund
Exceeds ’63 Goal
Bryan-College Station’s A&M
Development Fund drive raised
$6,095 and exceeded its 1963 goal
announced drive co-chairman, W.
T. (Bill) Moore and Dorsey Mc
Crory.
Gifts to the fund for excellence
were made by 557 former students
of A&M, or 80 per cent of the exes
from the Bryan area.
Richard Weirus, director of the
Former Students Development
Fund, attributed the success of
the drive to the fact that many
contributions were made by under
graduates and members of the fa
culty who are not graduates of
A&M.
