It was unfortunate that your uncle got sick before Corps trip and caused you to miss the quiz review and your grandmother the next weekend! And then your second cousin! If your family’s health improves so will your grades!” BATTALION EDITORIALS We Hate It — But! of Former Students from 1938-39; established the C. L. Babcock Award of a $250 scholarship in 1959; made numer ous extra contributions to the school through the Beaumont A&M Club, and has served as permanent secretary of that club, one of the most active in the state, for many years. Babcock sent two sons to A&M, both of whom are now deceased. In their names, he has made numerous gifts and contributions, while continuing to support his school through football game attendance and his work with Beaumont club. In his resignation speech to the Beaumont Aggies, Babcock said “IT1 pay my dues; I’ll try to be a good Aggie, but I am not going to be any part of A&M College until we get that decision (coeducation) out of the way.” Regardless of his past support of A&M, Babcock and those who agree with him and who may not have helped as much, miss one important point. Aggies don’t turn their backs on their school just because things don’t go their way. J. B. Hervey of the Association of Former Students probably expressed his and our feelings in the best way, when he told us, “We regret it of course, but there is nothing much we can do about it.” —RLF Ferreri’s Triangle Restaurant Invites You To Try Our AGGIE SPECIAL Also, try PIZZA, Spaghetti, Raviola, Mexican Food, and Seafood.

Because Of ‘Ideology Split 9 CLEVELAND UP) — The worl now is in a state of flux and even more unpredictable events are ahead, mainly as a result of the ideological split be tween the Soviet Union and Com munist China, a high U. S. offi cial said Tuesday. The government source made the remarks during a national meeting of radio and television broadcasters in Cleveland. The foreign affairs briefing was given with the understand ing that names of government officials could not be used, nor could their remarks by attribut ed directly. There has been a dramatic change in Red Chinese trade with the West over the past two years, particularly with Ameri can allies, the official noted. He also said Soviet economic prob lems are causing a revolution in Russian policy. OAS Will Meat To Stem Coups DAN LOUIS JR EDITOR WASHINGTON <A>) _ The Or ganization of American States Tuesday called a conference of hemisphere foreign ministers to stem the wave of coups d’etat that have overthrown four Latin- American governments this year. The conference was approved at an OAS council meeting by an 18-1 vote. Civilian governments in Gua temala, Honduras, Ecuador and the Dominican Republic have been turned out by military men this year. Bulletin Board It is with sincere regret we noted the resignation of C. L. Babcock from the Beaumont A&M Club, and the subse quent withdrawal of his support from Texas A&M. There are many Aggie-exes throughout Texas and the nation who are now being faced with the decision of whether to continue to support the now somewhat changed university they once attended. Many have taken the changes in stride; some are violently opposed. Unfortunately Charlie Babcock is among the latter. It is an unfortunate situation when true Aggies refuse to support their school, but some disfavor is inevitable with progress and change. When those who refuse their support have never really been of help in the past, it is a small loss; but when a man who has given as much of his life to A&M as Charlie Babcock has, it is tragic.

BREATHTAKING color The question of Russia’s for eign exchange balance in world trade will have an effect on its industrialization, foreign aid and military programs, he said. During the Russo-Sino debate Eastern European satellite na tions have been moving to gain greater freedom of action and have made strong attempts to loosen their economic servitude to Russia, he said. He said these were small, but significant steps which now have been set in motion in Eastern Europe. Sound Off Editor, The Battalion: Too many people quarrel about co-education at A&M. In my opinion they should rather try to make A&M the best Univer sity possible with other consider ations. To make any school tops, money is needed, and money is payed according to the enroll ment of our school. So we need a big enrollment. It seems to me that our enrollment has not increased outrageously compared to other schools. Co-education might help solve this problem. The money spent by this insti tution is payed in form of taxes by parents. These parents ought to have the right to send their children to any school, supported by them, regardless of sex. Would you like to send your daughter out of state so she could study Vet-Medicine just because your own education cen ter won’t accept girls? The many non-conformists w r e have might have a good point, but progress is the stuff that made America big. Nobody should say A&M is going to the dogs because they it now accepts girls. Another thing — two-thirds of our life will be spent in splendid companionship with women; it seems rather silly to outcast girls from A&M. I haven’t met a guy on campus yet who dis likes them. Wilott Heerde, ’66 ★ ★ ★ Editor, The Battalion: In the past, there have been numerous appeals encouraging civilian students to dress more conservatively on the campus — especially during the evening meal at Sbisa Dining Hall. Civil ian students are beginning to cooperate and conform to these appeals. However, there is still another situation which I, as well as many other civilian students, feel should be corrected. This is the habitual use of foreign lang uages all over the campus — especially in and around Sbisa Dining Hall. If a visitor had visited Sbisa Dining Hall Wednesday night, and sat where I sat, he would un doubtedly have thought that he was in a combination “wetback” refuge, a foreign restaurant for imbecils, and a corn patch that was being invaded by a flock of geese!

And if he cannot refrain from emmit- ing scatterbrained comments in his native tongue, he should be asked to eat elsewhere — where his repulsive native bombardment of ambiguous expressions will not thwart everyone within hear ing range.

Read Classifieds Dal On Campus Mth MsSholman {Author of “Rally Round the Flag, Boys!” and “Barefoot Boy With Cheek.”) I WAS A TEEN-AGE SLIDE RULE In a recent learned journal (Playboy) the distinguished board chairman (Ralph “Hot Lips” Sigafoos) of one of our most important American industrial corporations (the Arf Mechan ical Dog Co.) wrote a trenchant article in which he pinpointed our single most serious national problem: the lack of culture among science graduates. Let me hasten to state that Mr. Sigafoos’s article was in no sense derogatory. He said emphatically that the science grad uate, what with his gruelling curriculum in physics, math, and chemistry, can hardly be expected to find time to study the arts too. What distresses Mr. Sigafoos—and, indeed, all of us— is the lopsided result of today’s science courses: graduates who can build a skyscraper but can’t compose a concerto; who know Newton’s Third Law but not Beethoven’s Fourth Sym- phony; who are familiar with Fraunhofer’s lines but not with Shelley’s. Mr. Sigafoos can find no solution to this lamentable imbal ance. I, however, believe there is one—and a very simple one. It is this: if students of science don’t have time to come to the arts, then the arts must come to students of science. For example, it would be a very easy thing to teach poetry and music right along with physics. Students, instead of being called upon merely to recite, would instead be required to rhyme their answers and set them to familiar tunes—like, for instance, the stirring Colonel Bogey March. Thus recitations would not only be chock-a-block with important facts but would, at the same time, expose the students to the aesthetic delights of great poetry and music. Here, try it yourself. You all know The Colonel Bogey March. Come, sing along with me: Physics Is what we learn in class. Einstein Said energy is mass. Newton Is high-falutin’ And Pascal’s a rascal. So’s Boyle. Do you see how much more broadening, how much more up lifting it is to learn physics this way? Of course you do. What? You want another chorus? By all means: Leyden He made the Leyden jar. Trolley He made the Trolley car. Curie Rode in a surrey And Diesel’s a weasel. So’s Boyle. Once the student has mastered The Colonel Bogey March, he can go on to more complicated melodies like Death and Trans figuration, Sixteen Tons, and Boo-Hoo. And when the student, loaded not only with science but with culture, leaves his classroom and lights his Marlboro Cigarette, how much more he will enjoy that filter, that flavor, that pack or box! Because there will no longer be a little voice within him repeating that he is culturally a dolt. He will know —know joyously—that he is a complete man, a fulfilled man, and he will bask and revel in the pleasure of his Marlboro as a colt rolls in new grass—exultant and triumphant—a truly educated human person—a credit to his college, to himself, and to his tobacconist! © 1963 Max Shulman We, the makers of Marlboros and sponsors of this column, urge you not to roll colt-wise in the grass if you are carrying a soft pack of Marlboros in your pocket. If, however, you are carrying the crush-proof box and weigh less than 200 pounds, you may safely fling yourself about. ....gym....tumble. flip...flop...lug...tug push...jump...leap... ...chin...lift...pull... ...run...puff puff pause things gO Coke Bottled under the authority of The Coca-Cola Company by: MYAN COCA-COLA BOTTLING CO.
