Reynolds 9 Rap
by Mike Reynolds
Well, it’s Wednesday night and
my turn to stick my nose into
somebody’s business for the last
tiiyie this semester. I might get
through this term and ready for
next fall, if I can do my last
bit of cramming, if I can pass
all of mji finals, if I make enough
money this summer to pay for
next year, but mainly if no one
dislikes this column.
Seriously, I would like to
apologize to Col. Denzil L. Baker
and the Corps of Cadets. I er
roneously stated last week that
some seniors had been thrown
out of school or the Corps of
Cadets because of the actions of
freeshmen. This is wrong and
I stand corrected with my hat
off to Col. Baker for his amiable
and fair attitude.
Speaking of amiable attitudes
these days, I sure have noticed
that there aren’t many over the
state toward the action of the
Board of Regents of the Univer
sity of Texas. In case finals
have been keeping you too busy
to read the sports pages of the
state’s big dailies, I’ll fill you
in on some of the details.
The regents appointed a three
member committee to study ath
letics at the University of Texas
and the prospects of becoming an
independent. This would obvi
ously be the death nell of the
Southwest Conference and many
people see this as a power move
by Royal and Company to get the
smaller schools of the conference
off their backs concerning the
limiting of the number of schol
arships given each year.
Royal has his points on this
subject though. This man is in
big, big business, and his pre
sent business associates are try
ing to press some legislation that
would prevent the efficient oper
ation of his business. It is only
natural that they should study
their present relations with the
idea of possibly joining anothei
group whose policies would be
more compatible with their own.
Rumors have been flying a-
round the state that another con
ference will be formed consisting
of Texas, Arkansas, Texas Tech,
University of Houston and oui
own A&M. The distances involv
ed in this conference would cause
all sports except football and
basketball to suffer. Yet foot
ball pays for the others and if
you don’t have the team and
conference to pay for them, you
haven’t got anything.
Tradition also comes to mind.
We would still have our Corps
Trips to Houston, only this time
to play Cougar Hi instead of
Rice, but what would it be like
to play these other schools ?
What would happen to our
yearly trip to the Dallas-Fort
Worth area to play football and
to crown a sweetheart from
TWU ? Once again though, this
is trying to run a school with our
hearts instead of our heads. If
Texas leaves the SWC there will
go our biggest traditions anyway.
It looks like for once, we must
sit by and wait on the University
in Austin. If they stay, we will
stay but Rice, SMU and TCU
will eventually pull the whole
group down. If Texas leaves,,
we must leave and I don’t think
there should be a wet eye over
the whole thing. Not when you
have everything to gain and very
little to loss. Oh well, there is
a lot of time between now and
December when the showdown
comes.
Lots of time to think. See you
in the fall at Baton Rouge.
President Johnson Lauds
Soviet Consular Treaty
WASHINGTON <A>) _ An his
toric U. S. - Soviet consular
treaty providing for quick ac
cess Jtp, any, Americans jailed in
the Soviet Union will be signed
in Moscow on June 1.
Announcing this Wednesday,
President Johnson hailed the pact
as a significant step in improv
ing U. S.-Soviet relations. He
will submit it to the U. S. Sen
ate for ratification.
Neither the White House or
the State Department would re
lease the text. State Department
officials said the 25-page docu
ment would be made public
when it goes to the Senate.
The treaty provides for re-es
tablishing consulates in the two
countries. Consuls carry out non-
diplomatic duties such as issuing
visas and helping businessmen
and tourists of their nation.
The new agreement, to be
signed by U- S. Ambassador Foy
D. Kohler and Soviet Foreign
Minister Andrei A. Gromyko in
Moscow, is unprecedented in
two ways:
1. It is the first bilateral, or
two-country, treaty ever con
cluded between the United States
and the Soviet Union.
2. It stipulates that any visit
or jailed in the Soviet Union will
have access to his consul within
four days — setting a specific
time limit.
Secret imprisonment of Amer
icans by the Russians has long
been a sore point with Washing
ton.

India Faces Great Crisis
6 After Nehru—What Now? 9
MOSCOW _ The time of
trouble is rushing fast upon In
dia, and he seemed to know it
would.
Jawaharlal Nehru said in an
swer to a question some months
ago: “There will never be time
for anyone else to create the
position that I have had in In
dia. The years of fighting the
British for Indian independ
ence, and then the beginning of
freedom, created a place with
the people that future leaders
will not have time to make.”
It was a quiet, almost hum
ble expression of the fact that
no one can replace Nehru, one
of India’s leaders for four dec
ades and its only prime minis
ter from independence in 1947
until his death Wednesday.
Yet the governing of India’s
462 million people, under a sys
tem that NehrU made democratic
in form but paternalistic in fact,
must go on with a new prime
minister.

plosively armed hatred on most
of India’s borders.
The man who temporarily, at
least, will try to cope with the
problems, Gulzari Lai Nanda, is
an exact antithesis of Nehru.
Nanda consults his astrologer
regularly, believes in the an
cient Hindu form of medicine
rather than modern science, and
generally represents the kind of
India that Nehru sought to des
troy through modernization.
Nehru’s first stroke in Janu
ary found Home Minister Nan
da the senior member of the
Cabinet. But senior leaders of
Nehru’s Congress party insured
that another man was called into
the picture.
That man, Lai Bahadur Shas-
tri, could now be chosen by the
party to become permanent prime
minister, but Nanda will try
hard to to hang onto the job.
A power struggle is in prospect.
