Sound Off Editor, The Battalion: Human behavior has hit a new low at Texas A&M University, and not by the students, but by the staff. One must assume that it is a member of the staff to whom I refer, as what happened to me occurred on the day after the student body had been dis missed for the Easter holidays. ‘He’s changed considerably since that cricket match!” A little after 5 p.m. on Thurs day, I was on my way to the Geology Building. I had stopped for the traffic officer at the College View-Architectural Build ing intersection. After the officer motioned me on, I approached the Civil Engineering Building were two men. One standing on the curb and the other standing just off the curb. As I approach ed the intersection, applying my brakes to stop, one of these men yelled at me, “Hey, you old devil!” I was so shocked at this outburst, I looked back, and there was one of the men, the one who had been standing off the curb, stand ing in the middle of the street, looking at my car, muttering something.

JOE FAULK’S 25th and Washington Editor, The Battalion: After some investigation on the subject of political organizations on campus, I have found that Texas A&M University is the only major university that for bids such organizations. It seems ironic, that in these days of so-called academic excell ence the administration has dem onstrated its backward ideas on political organizations by ban ning them on campus. The Young Republicans and the Young Demo crats are indeed organizations representative of the American way of life where the young, en thusiastic minds may find more fertile grounds for understanding these long fought for traditions and the functioning of our demo cratic system of government. It is my sincere hope that the administration will soon change its ideas on this subject, and not only allow political organizations on campus, but encourage them.

How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb ' ^ the hot-line suspense comedy Mir &MB«§ WRIGHT by John Wright WRONG Bulletin Board been going fast as I had just made one stop and was in the process of making another, I park ed in front of the Geology Build ing and looked back. This “high- type” individual, dressed in an overcoat, put his pipe in his mouth, walked over to the park ing lot of the Agricultural Engi neering Building, climbed into his red pickup truck and drove off. I do not wonder at the class time taken up by some members of the faculty, telling their stu dents what a poor school A&M is, and what cultural voids engi neers possess. I quote from an essay by Doug las Bush on “The Humanities.” “Engineers are not, to be sure, in common repute the most culti vated branch of mankind . . .” It seems that there are members of the A&M staff who are trying their best to prove the author true. How fortunate that I was not a visitor on the campus, looking over the facilities for my son. Eleanore W. Holland Although it was all apparently an error of translation, the Mon day afternoon report of Khrush chev’s death again raised the old subject of succession. Any logical discourse as to who would succeed Khrushchev runs the immediate risk of being snafu ed by the very illogical system of murky interplay between the Communitst party and the state, which in effect are one and the same. At best the identity of a successor might be narrowed down to a few men. On paper the ultimate author ity of the Communist party is the All-Union Congress which is com posed of delegates from the party organizations of the various re publics. Again in theory, the Congress choses representatives to the Central Committee of the Communist party, but in actual ity they are appointed by the party leaders. The Central Com mittee meets more frequently than the Congress and thus per forms a more important function. When it come to actually making policy decisions however, it is the party Presidium which in effect is the real authority. Members of the party Presidium depend upon the internal power play, and apparently has no set number of members. At the same time there exist Secretaries of the Central Committee who run the various party functions. Thus a person who is a member of the party Presidium and a Secretary of the Central Committee would be in a position of extreme power and influence. At present there are six such members holding dual member ships; Khrushchev himself, Leo nid Brezhnev, Nikolai Podgorny, Frol Kozlov, Otto Kuusinen and Mikhail Suslov. Any of the lat ter five could be in a position to consolidate enough power and support to become Premier of the Soviet Union in event of Khrush chev’s death. Just who would depend upon his relative position at the time of Khrushchev’s death. Il TUESDAY The Association of Gradual Student Wives will meet at 8:| p.m. in the Gay Room of thi Outstanc Y.M.C.A.
