It is now primarily used by freshmen who don’t want to whip-out on the way to classes, but greater distances between classes and over-time profs are increasing its need. Seniors will have to learn to keep their spurs out of the spokes though. Discression Needed For Who’s Who Applications for Who’s Who are due tomorrow and un less a greater interest is taken in this national honor by the Senior class it may become a “Who’s That?” Too often self pride prohibits noted student leaders from nominating themselves while false pride spurs others to fill the vacancies. The requirements reflect the honors necessary for nomi nation : (a) Be at least an academically classified senior (95 hours) and be expected to receive a degree not later than June, 1965. Veterinary medicine students under the tri mester plan are eligible if they will become seniors by Febru ary, 1965 and graduate before September, 1965 (b) Have an overall grade point ratio of 1.5 or better.

Sports Editor Lani Presswood Sports Editor Tex Rogers Day News Editor Michael Reynolds CADET SLOUCH by Jim Earle SAYS SOVIET AFFAIRS EXPERT Students in eastern colleges may have come up with the solution to A&M’s parking and traffic problems—bicycles. A recent survey at the University of Michigan estimates that between 6,000 and 7,000 bikes are used on its campus every day. The school reports a jump from 3,750 bikes on campus in 1960 to over 4,700 in 1963. — o So WE LOST~ — WA\t'll the results of tle Toam- PAstl resr are A^fdiouKicEO, army/ The University of California at Davis is planning 15 acres of parking facilities to accommodate its two-wheel traffic. There are so many bicycles at the University of Illinois that cyclists now have their own paths especially designated with their own road signs. A&M is far from being Ivy League-minded but the use of bicycles for campus transportation is a tradition—a neces sity—students may well have to adopt. Anyone trying to leave by the traffic circle during the noon rush can confirm the need for fewer autos on campus. The transition to this two wheel transportation may not be in the distant future. Five years ago any student using an umbrella on campus was told to pack his shower shoes and get back to Austin. Now they are an accepted rainy-day necessity. U. S. Should Promote Rift Between Russia - China ‘We’re favored by at least 20% fewer cavities!” Red China Nears As Atom Power WASHINGTON <A>) — Com munist China may explode its first nuclear test bomb in the near future, Secretary of State Dean Rusk said Tuesday. “If it does occur, we shall know about it and will make the information public,” Rusk de clared in a statement. While cautiously worded, his statement was one of the strongest made recently on the possibility that Red China may be on the verge of becoming the fifth power in the “nuclear club.” The United States, Brit ain, Soviet Union and France! are the nuclear powers, France being the newest developer of atomic weapons. “For some time it has been known,” Rusk said, “that the Chinese Communists were ap proaching the point where they might be able to detonate a first nuclear (kmce*,,. Such ap. .explo sion might occur in the near future.” His emphasis on the near fu ture and issuance of the state ment Tuesday suggested the possibility that the U. S. govern ment might have new intelli gence information through dip lomatic or other channels that the Chinese Communists would hold a test atomic explosion in the next few days. It was understood, however, that the element of timing was in part speculative so far as Washington is concerned and is related to two other impending vents. One is the Red Chinese anniversary celebration Oct. 1. The other is a meeting in Cairo home protection for your money —our Homeowners Policy! Contact me today! U. M. ALEXANDER '40 221 S.

Volkov, top Soviet affairs ex pert in this country, spoke Tues day night to a capacity crowd in the Memorial Student Center Ballroom in the first 1964-65 Great Issues Series. After he defected to the West during World War II, he was granted permission to enter the U. S. “I believe that we kept the pressure on the Russians during the Kennedy administration when Kennedy turned the Russians from Cuba and when the Soviet Union had to ask for wheat from the Canadians and us,” Volkov said. “This showed not only the Rus sian people, but also all of the countries connected with the USSR that they were not as powerful as they think,” he noted. “The wheat deal exposed the bad agriculture problem in Rus sia and proved to the govern ment that they were stressing too much on trying to show the world that they were a mighty military nation and were not pay ing any attention to their do mestic problems,” Volkov said. Concerning the Sino-Soviet PICTURE SCHEDULE AGGIELAND ’65 Outfit pictures for the AG GIELAND will be made accord ing to the schedule below. Uniform will be class A Win ter.
