UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. (A*)
— Brazil and four other nations
proposed Monday that the U. N.
Security Council send a peace
keeping force to Cyprus to cope
with the threat of war in the
eastern Mediterranean. A West
ern source expressed belief it
would win council approval.
The five nations introduced a
resolution recommending also
that Secretary-General U Thant
name a mediator to help re
solve differences between war
ring Greek and Turkish Cypriots
on the strategic island republic.

WRONG
Once again the Sixth Fleet is
demonstrating its worth by tact-
ily deciding that this is a good
time as any to commence the an
nual NATO maneuvers in the
Agean Sea.
Any thoughts of Greek-Turkish
naval encounter will have to be
shelved for a while, at least
while Uncle Sam decides to keep
NATO’s children busy by run
ning off their excess energy in
mock warfare.
This must really chuse the
Greek and Turkish naval com
manders to grind their teeth in
frustration. After all, how would
you feel if big brother appeared
over the horizon just as the fun
was about to start.
Anyway, at least the Greek
and Turkish navies will not have
to bother Uncle Sam with fuel
vouchers for a while. All they
have to do now is pull alongside
the U. S. tankers and top off.
It’s all for free, fellas, at least
to you.
By the time the “Great White
Fleet” commanders have finished
the annual workout, the worn
out ex-U. S. and British des
troyers that comprise the navies
of Greece and Turkey will have
to head for home and a rest in
the dockyard.
Too bad they will not have any
energy left to sail up and down
Brazil, Other States
Propose U. N. Force
the coast of Cyprus hoping to
stir up trouble.
It cost the U. S. $5 billion
dollars a year to operate its var
ious attack and anti-submarine
warfare carriers that are the
heart of the fleet.
That is a lot of “scratch” any
way you look at it, but it is
well worth the expenditure. Dur
ing the Lebanon crisis the pre
sence and the ability of the Six
th Fleet in the Mediterranean to
land a Marine force was a decid
ing factor in peacefully settling
that episode.
Another example of the flexible
use of the Sixth Fleet was when
the Anglo-French carrier force
was maneuvering to launch their
carrier strikes against the Suez
area in 1956. At that time the
U. S. decided that the Anglo-
French tactic was not exactly in
the best interests of peace, (al
though thoughts on that may
have changed) and to the con
sternation of the British and
French fleet commanders deploy
ed the Sixth Fleet in such a man
ner to partially foul up any pros
pects of surprise and timiliness
for the air strikes.
In any event I was getting
rather tired of reading in the
papers that Turkish and Greek
naval units were venturing out
of harbor just to get their names
in the papers. It’s about time
they got their ‘water cut off.”
“It’s just a reminder so I don’t forget th’ intercollegiate
talent show next Friday!”

The board also adopted a set
of figures on which to base local
contributions to the foundation
school program in 1964-65. The
board estimated localities will
be assigned $111,000 of the total
cost. The amount is one-fifth of
the program’s estimated current
annual cost.
Local school districts pay a
portion of the estimated $111,-
000 based on the number of
school-age children and on eco
nomic conditions in each county.
The new educational standards
put stricter requirements on col
leges approved by the board to
offer master’s degrees for which
teachers get higher pay. They
also change course requirements

for master’s degrees obtained as
a qualification for the profession
al certificate for teachers.
The main revisions were these:
Master’s programs: To be eli
gible for higher pay because of
a master’s degree, under the
minimum foundation school pro
gram, a teacher must get the
degree from a school in which
master’s degrees are offered in
at least three fields. Present re-
guirements allow study at schools
offering a master’s degree in just
one subject.
Professional certificate: a
teacher must take at least 12
graduate semester hours usually
four courses in the academic
subject in which she majored
for her bachelor’s degree.
Administrator certificate: The
new program calls for a mas
ter’s degree and a professional
teacher’s certificate, as well as
three years teaching experience.
The previous standard allowed
an educator with only a bache
lor’s degree to obtain the ad
ministrator certificate, with suf
ficient additional post-graduate
courses.
Editor,
The Battalion:
I agree with Ben Killingworth’s
letter in February 25’s “Sound
Off.” The Corps is what makes
A&M. The cadets are the Spirit
of Aggieland. Primarily, they are
the ones who show interest in
A&M. The cadets are an elite
group who make and deserve such
things as Silver Taps. Maybe
the answer to this problem would
be for the civilians to get a fir
ing squad together.
I agree also with Ben with re
gard to females not represent
ing A&M in sports. Aggies only
deserve the right to represent
Aggieland..
Since civilian life seems to be
the trend for A&M, I feel that
the civilians deserve their own
and a different senior ring of
which they can be extra proud.
Glynn R. Donaho, ’66

Editor,
The Battalion:
Aggies, our sportsmanship is
lousy. This is supposedly a school
for men, but we act like little
girls, crying everytime something
goes against us. Throwing trash
on the court and booing is not
only unsportsmanlike and un
necessary but childish. If you
will notice the really good ath
letes don’t cry when a call goes
against them, they just go on
with the game. Our team has
demonstrated they can win games
in spite of a few bum calls, and if
you think the refs are perfect
try refrereeing a game some
times.
In our remaining games I
would like to see the men of Ag
gieland yelling their hearts our
when the opponent has the ball
and not moaning at the ref every
other minute.
Let’s be proud to be Aggies.
Kimberlin M. Kane, ’64

Editor,
The Battalion:
I would like to make a “modest
proposal” in regards to the Ag
gie Senior Ring. It appears that
there is a strong chance that two
senior rings may soon exist —
one for men and one for women.
This will occur because some peo
ple feel girls aren’t “aggie
enough” to merit a military type
ring. I use this term to describe

the ring since it does have de
finite military symbols—a sabre,
Springfield rifle and cannon.
Trying to decide what is “ag
gie enough” appears to be the
basic problem, and an obvious
split occurs between Corps and
civilian students. In very gen
eral terms, our senior ring is
symbolic of a man who has gone
through 4 years of hardship be
cause of a love and loyality for
his school. This is part of the
Aggie Spirit amply displayed by
the 3,000 students who cared
enough to welcome the basket
ball team home after their de
feat in Lubbock.
Trying to decide just who has
this love and loyality for A&M
would be exceedingly difficult.
It is not an innate quality pre
sent in every incoming class,
rather it has to be learned. A
better place for learning wtai
Aggie Spirit is exists in tlitl
Corps of Cadets. However, man;I
civilians feel just as strongly fotj
A&M. And who is to say that
women can’t learn to love AH
just as much as the men, espeti j

They met. His heart leapt. “I love you!” he cried.
“Me too, hey!” she cried.
“Tell me,” he cried, “are you a girl of expensive tastes?”
“No, hey,” she cried. “I am a girl of simple tastes.”
“Good,” he cried, “for my cruel father sends me an allowance
barely large enough to support life.”
“Money does not matter to me,” she cried. “My tastes are
simple; my wants are few. Just take me riding in a long, new,
yellow convertible and I am content.”
“Goodbye,” he cried, and ran away as fast as his little
stumpy legs would carry him, for he had no yellow convertible,
nor the money to buy one, nor the means to get the money-
short of picking up his stingy father by the ankles and shak
ing him till his wallet fell out.

He knew he must forget this girl, but lying on his pallet at
the dormitory, whimpering and moaning, he knew he could not.
At last an idea came to him: though he did not have the
money to buy a convertible, perhaps he had enough to rent one!
Hope reborn, he rushed on his little stumpy legs (curious to
tell, he was six feet tall, but all his life he suffered from little
stumpy legs) he rushed, I say, to an automobile rental company
and rented a yellow convertible for $10 down plus ten cents a
mile. Then, with many a laugh and cheer, he drove away to
pick up the girl.
“Oh, bully!” she cried when she saw the car. “This suite my
simple tastes to a ‘T.’ Come, let us speed over rolling highroads
and through bosky dells.”
Away they drove. All that day and night they drove and
finally, tired but happy, they parked high on a wind-swept hill.
“Marlboro?” he said.
“Yum, yum,” she said.
They lit their Marlboros. They puffed with deep content
ment. “You know,” he said, “you are like a Marlboro—clean
and fresh and relaxing.”
“Yes, I am clean and fresh and relaxing,” she admitted.
“But, all the same, there is a big difference between Marlboros
and me, because I do not have an efficacious white Selectrate
filter.”
They laughed. They kissed. He screamed.
“What is it, hey?” she asked, her attention aroused.
“Look at the speedometer,” he said. “We have driven 200
miles, and this car costs ten cents a mile, and I have only
$20 left.”
“But that is exactly enough,” she said.
“Yes,” he said, “but we still have to drive home.”
“Oh,” she said. They fell into a profound gloom. He started
the motor and backed out of the parking place.
“Hey, look!” she cried. “The speedometer doesn’t move when
you are backing up.”
He looked. It was true. “Eureka!” he cried. “That solves
my problem. I will drive home in reverse. Then no more miles
will register on the speedometer and I will have enough money
to pay!”
“I think that is a smashing idea,” she said, and she was right.
Because today our hero is in the county jail where food, cloth
ing, and lodging are provided free of charge, and his allowance
is piling up so fast that in two or three years he will have
enough money to take his girl riding again. ©1904 Max8huim«o
