H ~s A Long Way—
But There Is A Way
It’s a long way to Lubbock and Texas Tech—that’s where
the Aggies will be tonight looking for that seventh straight
conference win.
There are probably not too many Ags who are going to
be able to travel the distance between here and Lubbock.
But The Battalion staff has discovered that it cost just pen
nies to send a GOOD LUCK telegram. We know because
we sent one to Coach Metcalf and his team.
Now we would like to see a bunch of telegrams go out
to Lubbock. For about $2 one can get 15 words or less off to
the team in Lubbock. Just send it to:
Coach Shelby Metcalf
Lubbock Municipal Coliseum
Lubbock, Texas
While we’re at it we might as well go all out for that
bunch of cagers. They’ve been playing some real fine ball
this season and have given all us Aggies something to
talk about. The best thing we can do is let those men know
we appreciate the extra effort they’ve been putting out to
get some of the games.
The exact time of arrival in College Station for the
team’s chartered flight is not available, but sometime late
today Easterwood Airport should have some idea.
Now there wouldn’t be a thing wrong with several thou
sands Ags being on hand to greet those cagers when they
step out of that airplane. And that means win, lose or draw—
and we’re pretty confident that the latter two possibilities
are out.

Barry Blasts Rights Bill
THATCHER, Ariz. (IP) — Re
publican Sen. Barry Goldwater
told a Negro college student
Monday night the civil rights
bill passed by the House “may
cause more trouble than good”
in the fight to end racial dis
crimination.
Goldwater, campaigning for
the Republican presidential nom
ination, answered students’ ques
tions in a crowded cafeteria at
Eastern Arizona Junior College.
Goldwater said the section
granting the attorney general
more power to deal with defi
ance of school integration or
ders may be hopeful.
“I don’t think the rest of the
package is going to accomplish
much, in fact it may cause more
harm than good,” he said.
The senator said he doesn’t
see how the government can en
force the section barring dis
crimination in public accomoda
tions.

WRONG
The scheduled talks between
Sir Alec Douglas — Home and
President Johnson come at a
time when the “special relation
ship” between England and the
United States needs to be utiliz
ed, if never again.
With the U. S. rather miffed,
to say the least, at British firms
selling buses to Cuba and will
ing to extend more than five
years of credit to the Soviet
Union, and the British peeved
at the fact that the U. S. is
finacially supporting Sukarno
who, in turn, is causing the Bri
tish to use 6,000 troops to keep
down Indonesian guerilla war
fare on the Malaysian border, it
is rather obvious that the two
countries could stand an ani-
able agreement.
Sir Alec has already expressed
his wish for a Anglo-U. S. for
eign policy “That would be in
tune and harmonious to that of
the U. S.” President Johnson
has also expressed his desire
for such accord lay dispatching a
trouble-shooting team to co-ordi
nate Anglo-American policy on
the Cyprus situation.
Despite the opinion of those
who feel that the “special rela
tionship” between England and
the U. S. is fast due for the
scrap heap, one should pause and
remember that if ever there are
two nations in the world today
who are able to sit down and
talk things over for the mutual
interest of both countries, it is
Britain and the United States.
This in no way means that
our foreign policy should be sub
ject to the approval of the Bri
tish every time we feel like tak
ing a step, but it would not hurt
at all for both countries to pre
sent a united front, and thus both
benefit.
The very nature of Britain’s
geographical position and her
population leave her no choice
but to export or die. We, who
are in contrast, well able to pros
per by means of domestic trade,
tend to sometimes forget Eng
land’s plight and consequently
allow our own foreign policy to
run right across theirs, when it
could if handled right, parallel
theirs and benefit both of us.
The immediate application of
such a policy could be at the
moment of Russia’s antagonistic
attitude toward a settlement of
the Cyprus issue. The British
spent almost 10 haggard years
trying to rid themselves of the
island of Cyprus. Except for the
right to maintain bases there,
they probably wouldn’t be too
perturbed if the whole island
sank.
years.
In this post, the sources said
he had access to Soviet defense
secrets and negotiating plans
for the disarmament conference
which resumed in Geneva Jan.
21.
It was believed in Geneva that
Nossenko’s information could be
of immense value to Western
disarmament negotiators and de
fense strategists. But this de
fection also might harden the
Soviet position in the two-year-
old conference.
Nossenko, 36, repor-tedly de
scribed himself as a “staff of
ficer” of the KGB, the top-level
Soviet agency in charge of ga
thering intelligence and counter
intelligence. The three initials
stand for Komitet Gosudarstven-
noy Bezopasnosti.

As for the U. S., we certainly
have no ambition to occupy Cy
prus for national gain. I can’t
help thinking what the effect may
have been on the Russians if we
had replied to Krushchev at the
same time and in the same vein
as Prime Minister Home’s terse
rebuke.

ARF!
Benjamin Franklin (or The Louisville Slugger, as he is better
known as) said, “A penny saved is a penny earned,” and we,
the college population of America, have taken to heart this sage
advice. We spend prudently; we budget diligently. Yet, despite
our wise precautions, we are always running short. Why? Be
cause there is one item of expense that we consistently under
estimate—the cost of travelling home for weekends.
Let us take the typical case of Basil Metabolism, a sophomore
at UCLA majoring in avocados. Basil, a resident of Bangor,
Maine, loved to go home each weekend to play with his faithful
dog, Spot. What joy, what wreathed smiles, when Basil and
Spot were re-united! Basil would leap into his dogcart, and
Spot, a genuine Alaskan husky, would pull Basil all over Bangor,
Maine—Basil calling cheery halloos to the townfolk, Spot
wagging his curly tail.

But the cost, alas, of travelling from UCLA to Bangor, Maine,
ran to $400 a week, and Basil’s father, alas, earned only a
meagre salary as a meter-reader for the Bangor water depart
ment. So, alas, after six months Basil’s father told Basil he
could raise no more money; he had already sold everything he
owned, including the flashlight he used to read meters.
Basil returned to California to ponder his dilemma. One
solution occured to him—to ship Spot to UCLA and keep him
in his room—but Basil had to abandon the notion because of
his roommate, G. Fred Sigafoos, who was, alas, allergic to dog
hair.
Then another idea came to Basil—a stroke of genius, you
might call it. He would buy a Mexican hairless chihuahua!
Thus he would have a dog to pull him around, and G. Fred’s
allergy would be undisturbed.
The results, alas, were not all Basil had hoped. The chihua
hua, alas, was unable to pull Basil in the dogcart, no matter
how energetically he beat the animal.
Defeated again, Basil sat down with G. Fred, his roommate,
to smoke a Marlboro Cigarette and seek a new answer to the
problem. Together they smoked and thought and—Eureka!—
an answer quickly appeared. (I do not suggest, mark you, that
Marlboro Cigarettes are an aid to cerebration. All I say about
Marl boros is that they taste good and are made of fine tobaccos
and pure white filters and come in soft pack or Flip Top box.)
Well, sir, Basil and G. Fred got a great idea. Actually, the
idea was G. Fred’s, who happened to be majoring in genetics.
Why not, said G. Fred, cross-breed the chihuahua with a Great
Dane and thus produce an animal sturdy enough to pull a dog
cart?
It was, alas, another plan doomed to failure. The cross-breed
ing was done, but the result (this is very difficult to explain) was
a raccoon.
But there is, I am pleased to report, a happy ending to this
heart-rending tale. It seems that Basil’s mother (this is also very
difficult to explain) is a glamorous blond aged 19 years. One
day she was spotted by a talent scout in Bangor, Maine, and
was signed to a fabulous movie contract, and the entire family
moved to California and bought Bel Air, and today one of the
most endearing sights to be seen on the entire Pacific Coast is
Spot pulling Basil down Sunset Boulevard—Basil cheering and
Spot wagging. Basil’s mother is also happy, making glamorous
movie's all day long, and Basil’s father is likewise content, sit
ting at home and reading the water meter.
