Common Sense Needed
For New Dorm Care
For the first time in its history A&M now has dormi
tories and student loung-es whose beauty and comfort rivals
the best offered in other Southwest Conference schools.
Unfortunately beauty is usually a fragile thing and
frailty and A&M are not long companions. Stringent rules
designed to promote the upkeep of these new facilities have
been laid down, but they are only as good as students who
comply with them, make them out to be.
Furnishing, especially for the lounges, have already
began to show signs of wear as students spill drinks on the
sofas, put cigarettes out on the tile floors and use chairs for
foot rests. The university spent approximately $7,000 each
to equip the lounges and has provided daily janitorial service,
but the cooperation of each student is necessary if they are
to remain beautiful.
University Vehicles
Create Hazard
The Building and Utilities staff, contractors and other
university operated vehicles have been abusing campus park
ing privileges by parking in the street and entrances to park
ing lots.
The entrance to the parking lot behind Nagle Hall is
small enough without danger being added by careless park
ing. The entrance to this lot is a hazard, with shrubery hid
ing exiting cars and blocking the view of the driver coming
out.
Another problem is created inside the lot when pick-ups
are parked between the center parking zone and the curb,
making it difficult for cars to pass.
In most instances, parking spaces are available only a
few feet away in the parking lot or across the street. It may
be true that time and steps may be saved, but is this worth
the risk of an accident ?-—C. E. Me.
Potential HS Drop-Outs
Spotted By Educators
AUSTIN UP) — A Texas Edu
cation Agency staff member
said Monday potential school
drop-outs can be pinpointed in
the first grade and even before
they are born.
Jack McIntosh said the drop
out problem is closely linked to
low family income, education
deprivation at home and poor
ability in the English language.
His remarks in a panel dis
cussion at the annual convention
of the Texas Association of
School Boards and School Ad
ministrators echoed those of
Gov. John Connally to a gen
eral session of the convention.
Connally urged strong support
of a program he said will be
developed by the State Board of
Education and the Texas Edu
cation Agency to fight adult illit
eracy.
“The students with the great
est handicaps are the children
of poorly educated parents, and
they are most apt to join the
swelling ranks of the drop-outs,”
Connally said.
“Illiteracy begets more illit
eracy while we do little or noth
ing to break the cycle by offer
ing educational opportunity to
adults who missed their chance
in childhood for reasons probably
beyond their control.”
McIntosh said it had been
found that a child’s attitude to
ward dropping out of school had
developed over a long period of
time.
“We can identify the potential
drop-out in the first grade and,
if we want to be extreme about
it, we can identify him before
he is born,” McIntosh said.

Presidential Safety Groups
Considers Warren Report Lai
‘After aH—tK’ season’s still young!”
WASHINGTON (A*) _ A White
House committee on presidential
safety, created overnight to con
sider the broad recommendations
of the Warren Commission, plan
ned swift action Monday to get
proposals ready for the new Con
gress in January.
Senate Democratic Leader Mike
Mansfield of Montana said the
new security measures, growing
out of the commission’s investi
gation of President John F. Ken
nedy’s assassination should be
“one of the first orders of busi
ness” when Congress reconvenes.
The Warren report, declaring
Lee Harvey Oswald to have been
the lone and unaided assassin,
was selling phenomenally after it
went on sale at three outlets
Monday, the Government Print
ing Office reported.
The GOP disclosed that 25 to
27 further volumes, containing
the full testimony and exhibits
on which the 888-page report
was based, may be ready in six
to eight weeks. In sets only they
will sell for $75 to $100 a set.
The commission headed by
Chief Justice Earl Warren criti
cized “deficiences” in the Se
cret Service preparedness for
Kennedy’s fatal visit to Dallas
last Nov. 22.
Viet Nam Troops, Police
Brace For Continued Riots
Bulletin Board
TUESDAY
SAIGON, South Viet Nam <A>>
— Troops and police braced for
new demonstrations in Saigon
Tuesday in the wake of riots at
Qui Nhon that led to three deaths.
Several religious sects and
students prepared to take to the
streets.
The most potentially danger
ous group was the Hoa Hoa, a
quasi-religious military sect with
superficial ties to Buddhism. A
group of Hoa Hoas planned a
protest march on the capital from
the Mekong River delta.
Troops were reported plan
ning to stop anyone trying to
enter the city on the main road
leading north from the delta. It
was along this same road that
rebel troops entered Saigon Sept.
13 in an abortive coup attempt.

Police had orders to turn back
persons currying clubs or other
weapons.
Another armed sect, the Cao
Dai, might also try to make
trouble in the city, informants
said. These two sects and cer
tain youth groups supposedly are
angry at the composition of the
17-member High National Coun
cil created last week to set up
the machinery for a new civilian
government.
This time it appeared, however,
that government security agen
cies had a wide mandate to get
tough.
Three demonstrators died un
der a volley of shots by govern
ment security troops Sunday at
Qui Nhon, 270 miles northeast
of Saigon. Seventeen others
were wounded. A state of siege
was ordered, and a strict cur
few was imposed on that town.
The English Society will meet
in Room 3-B of the Memorial
Student Center at 7:30 p.m. Dr.
John Q. Anderson will discuss
early American humor.
The Brazos County Young
Democrats will meet at 7:30 p.m.
at St. Mary’s student center.
State Senator Franklin Spears
from San Antonio will speak on
“Patriotism or Extremism.”
The History Club will meet at
4 p.m. in Room 113 of Nagle Hall.
WEDNESDAY
The Graduate Student Council
will meet at noon in the MSC.
All graduate students have been
invited.
The Newcomer’s Club has in
vited the wives of new faculty
members to an informal lawn
party at the home of Mrs. M. T.
Harrington at 3 p.m. In case of
rain the event will be moved to
the Birch Room of the MSC.
Details of how the shooting
started were sketchy. There
were indications that some riot
ers had fired back at the troops.
The Eiffel Tower was financed
by subscription, cost about $1,-
560,000, paid for itself in less
than two years and has never
been in the red since.

It called for “complete over-4~
haul” of the service’s advance
detection practices and other re
forms including closer liaison
with the FBI and other agencies.
President Johnson, in Texas,
immediately named Secretary of
the Treasury Douglas Dillon to
head a committee of four to work
out recommendations for carry
ing out the Warren proposals.
A Treasury spokesman said
Dillon intends “to get this mov
ing as soon as he can” and has
set a Jan. 1 target date for the
completion of recommendations.
