And so for the bicycle, too. 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.
(c) Be active in campus activities.
(d) Show qualities of leadership as indicated by posi
tions held in student organizations.
(e) Be respected for accomplishments by students.
(f) A student may be elected to the Who’s Who roll one
year only.
The academic requirements can be easily met by many.
Leadership requirements are stiffer and it is up to. those
doing the nominating to remember leadership—not popular
ity—is the criteria.

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.

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.

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

“It is the American duty to
keep the Sino-Soviet rift going
as long as possible because it
will help the United States get
a strong hold on the Russians
and create an image for us a-
broad,” commented Leon Volkov,
Soviet Affairs editor for News
week magazine.
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.
