More U. N. Fiscal Control
Asked In U. S. Proposal
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. <A>)
— The United States proposed
Monday giving the five big
powers and large contributors to
the United Nations a bigger voice
in determining the financing of
future U. N. peace-keeping oper
ations.
The effect of the U. S. plan
would be weighted voting. It
could prevent the authorization
of assessments without the ap
proval of those who would be
expected to foot a major part
of the bills.
The proposal called for a
special General Assembly finance
committee that would originate
all financial arrangements for
peace-keeping operations. The
committee’s recommendations
would require approval by a two-
thirds majority of the General
Assembly.
The special committee would
include the five permanent mem
bers of the Security Council —
the United States, the Soviet
Union, Britain, France and Na
tionalist China — and a “re
latively high percentage of those
members in each geographical
area that are large financial con
tributors to the United Nations.”
In making the proposal to the
assembly’s 21 - nation working
group on finances, U. S. Ambas
sador Francis T. P. Plimpton
said the suggestion presupposed
payment by the Soviet Union
and a number of other countries
of overdue assessments for past
operations.

CADET SLOUCH
by Jim Earle
BETTER GRADES—BETTER JOBS
Now that the unspeaking freshman classes of yesteryear
are the upperclassmen, the howdys are few and far between
except for the class of ’68.
In the past, it has been the fish and civilians who did
not speak, but the role has reversed itself in the Corps this
year. One person has commented that a visitor to the
University of Texas campus is greeted by more students
than at A&M.
The new privilege in the Corps of not speaking seems
to have been initiated by the class of ’66 as they practice
it more than anyone except the civilian students.
Members of the Corps are guilty of saying that they
will speak if the non-reg speaks first and the civilians
are guilty of reversing the idea. Also, the cadets have
spoken to the civilians without an answer, which does not
help the situation. But again, the civilian has also spoken
to members of the Corps without a reply.
One good argument against whipping out held by
both segments of the student body is why whip out to some
one who will only mumble his name.
An such occasion arose last year during a yell practice
in front of Henderson Hall for the basketball team. The
civilian senior did not understand the sophomore Corps mem
ber’s name and asked him again what it was. The cadet
ignored the civilian, chuckled to his buddies, leaving the
civilian wondering why he had bothered to whip out.
Civilians can be heard griping about the fish not speak
ing or whipping out but when the fish does speak or whip
out, the civilian either ignores or rushes the fish on his way.
The transfer students are particularly bad on this
account. They do not seem to appreciate the fish’s effort
but rather act as if meeting someone new is a burden or
embarrassing.
The energy and effort that it takes for the civilian to
mumble or grunt a howdy can easily be made up by cutting
across the grass somewhere. If one tradition is broken,
another can fall without disturbing the civilian’s five-year-
plan.
The cold war between the Corps and civilian students
is evident by the lack of howdys between upperclassmen of
these groups. Although nothing can be said about the new
privilege which prohibits Corps members who have left their
freshman year behind and the civilians from speaking, maybe
the class of ’68 will not find it a burden and revive the old
tradition of being friendly regardless of uniform.

Student Marriages Rise;
So Do Marital Problems
By RAY HARRIS
Special Writer
Married students have become
an integral part of the student
body at A&M University. About
24 per cent of the student en
rollment is married. The largest
number of married students since
after the war years — around
2,000 — attended classes In 1003-
64.
While the number of under
graduate married students has
largely remained static, the num
ber of married graduates has
been steadily increasing. Of about
1,200 graduates in 1963-64, ap
proximately 800 were married,
according to Bennie Zinn, direc
tor of student affairs. Zinn be
lieves this trend is typical of
many colleges and universities
all over the nation.
“If Ranger doesn’t mind, why should you?
With the number of “college
marriages” on the increase, it ap
pears, that either such marriages
are more accepted today or that
more young couples are preced
ing with marriage plans despite
parental disapproval.
Conn ally, Yarborough Quiet
Preceding State Convention
As newlyweds, Mr. and Mrs.
Paul Burney came to A&M with
practically “nothing” that would
indicate to their parents that
they could “make a go of it.” It
was some time, during which
both found employment, before
the doubts of their parents sub
sided.
Many couples feel, however,
that most parents are witting to
“chip in” if their children get in
financial dtffieultiea. '
The outstanding “advantage”
of married life, according to the
married students interviewfed last
spring, is improved study habits
and better grades.
Charles Thomas told of a grade
point ratio below a 1.00 his fresh
man and sophomore years and a
jump to a B average the first
semester he was married.
Generally, married students be
lieve that the added responsi
bility of a family and conditions
conductive to serious concentra
tion tend to boost their GPR’s.
Married couples also speak of
the advantage married students
have in finding jobs over single
students. According to many
married students, one of the first
questions asked by employers of
prospective employes is “Are you

Dr. D
idents
Mr. and Mrs. Pete Brooks,
cently parents of a baby daugk-
ter. feel that a young couple
should marry with the under-
standing that there may be some
“hard years.”
Married life in university hous-
ing is unique. Tolerance, co-oper-
ation and diplomacy characterize
married student relations with one
another in somewhat cramped
housing conditions.
Thomas and Reader told of the
interrelationship among married
students. People living under
these conditions tend to be more
conscious of others, making it
easier to smooth out occassional
problems that arise.
Perhaps this is best illustrated
by the unwritten rule at College
View of “silence after 10 p.m."
“It’s very easy to get along
out there,” said Thomas, “Every
body is in the same boat.”
DALLAS (A*) — Gov. John
Connally and Sen. Ralph Yar
borough dined at separate tables
Monday night in the unusual
political peace preceding Tues
day’s state Democratic conven
tion.
More than 2,000 persons had
$12.50 tickets for a steak din
ner in Connally’s honor.
More than 1,800 tickets, some
for as much as $100, went for a
chicken dinner in Yarborough’s
honor-several miles away.
Connally and Yarborough feud
ed sharply before the first state
convention in June. Connally’s
forces won 2,137 to 664 on a test
vote at the Houston meeting.
However, even the battle of
banquets Monday night gave no
indication that Yarborough’s sup
porters would make a major chal
lenge of Connally’s announced
plans for a swift, sweet session
Tuesday.
Many state Democratic con
ventions in the past have been
preceded by long, bitter argu
ments over intra-party differ
ences.
Earlier Monday, Connally used
a velvet touch in brushing aside
background protests from a San
Antonio group of Yarborough
supporters. The pro-Connally
group from San Antonio was
seated at the Houston conven
tion in what liberal Democrat
spokesman Maury Maverick Jr.
called “A garden-variety, pig-
trash steal.” Maverick and his
hometown member on the State
Democratic Committee, Mrs. Mc
Clure, issued a statement Mon
day saying they would not at
tend the Dallas convention “and
be subjected to a double steal.”
“That is their privilege and
they don’t have to come to the
convention if they don’t want
to,” Connally told newsmen. He
added that he did not see how
San Antonio liberals could boy
cott a convention when they had
never been recognized as dele
gates.
Connally said his choice for
the new state committee chair
man is Marvin Watson, 40, ex
ecutive assistant to the presi
dent of Lone Star Steel Co. Wat
son is completing his third term
on the state committee and the
past two terms has been a mem
ber of the convention credentials
committee screening contested
delegations.
Connally said Watson “has
constantly been a strong arm
of support to the Democratic
party of the state.”
Watson said he planned, if
finally approved by the conven
tion, to seek Democratic unity in
the state by working through its
regularly elected officials.
Watson succeeds Frank Erwin
of Austin, the new national com
mitteeman.

Soviet Economist Gives
Cautious Profit Approval
MOSCOW <A>) _ A top Soviet
economic administrator gave cau
tious endorsement Monday to pro
posals for setting factory bosses
free to chase profits just like
their capitalist counterparts.
Sergei Afanasyev, chairman of
the Economic Council of the
giant Russian Federated Repub
lic, gave an important boost to
growing pressure for sweeping
reforms of the Soviet economic
apparatus in an article publish
ed by the Communist party or

Afanasyv’s remarks were the

ALEXANDRIA <A>> — Prince
Feisal of Saudi Arabia and Presi

Monday to seek an end to the

After three days of talks, the
leaders issued a communique in
which they promised to try to
avert further clashes between
the Royalist and Republican
factions in Yemen while efforts
are under way to settle the dis

Pravda in recent weeks has
publicized proposals for making
profit instead of plan fulfillment
the measure of economic per
formance. The scheme would give
factory directors greater freedom
of action by doing away with
many of the detailed plan tar
gets they are obliged to fulfill.
Afanasyev, who also is a de

public, set forth detailed critic
ism of present operations, not
ing that Pravda had raised the
question of “combining centra

economy with maximum scope for
the display of initiative and in
