Dance, Bonfire Open Activities By MANUEL PINA JR. that Fightin’ Texas Aggie Spirit Tessie President Extends Welcome Dear Ag-gies, Excitement is afoot on the TWU campus as all Tessies eagerly await the 1964 Dallas Corps Trip. To start this year’s Corps Trip off in the right spirit, the Student Council of Social Activities has planned a lively maroon and white eve ning of entertainment for all Aggies and Tessies. A mixer-type reception will begin at 7:30 p. m. in the SUB lounge. (It’s really different this year—guaranteed to make finding dates more fun!) Before the reception ends at 9:30, the dance will have already been in progress since 8 p. m. and will last until 12. (What to wear? Our Aggie guests will be just fine in sports shirts and slacks.) An Aggie game not preceded by a yell practice is unheard of. So, at 12 we will remain in the SUB ballroom for a rousing yell practice that will set off roars reverberating throughout Tessieland. We have had lots of fun working on these activities and are looking forward to seeing you all on our campus Novem ber 6. Sincerely, Jane Sullins, President, Student Council of Social Activities TWU Five student lounges are locat ed in the new dormitories. “Parking is rather restricted in the new dormitory areas, how ever, more parking space is avail able in the lot west of Law Hall and in back of Henderson Hall,” Hannigan said. Four older dormitories have been renovated and now have air conditioning. The complete build ing and renoavation program has provided more than 2,000 beds which were not available in February. “The Corps Trip for the Corps of Cadets to Dallas this weekend will be highlighted by an upset of the Southern Methodist University Ponies,” said Frank Cox, head Aggie yell leader. Cox had this to announce about the SMU homecoming game, “After talking to some of the foot ball players, there’s no doubt in my mind that they want this vic tory and the next two as much as the 12th Man.

Jules Dubois, outstanding Latin American correspondent for the Chicago Tribune, has been named “Round-Up Speaker” for SCONA X. D 3 I of the conference, announced Pas- toriza’s selection. Pastoriza is the second SCONA X speaker named. Earlier, Jules Dubois, a Latin American corres pondent for the Chicago Tribune Press Service, was named roundup speaker. Tisdale said Pastoriza is well qualified to speak in relation to the conference theme: “Challenge to the Americas — Pan American Trends: Promise or Threat?” Pastoriza is general manager of Augusto Espaillat Sues., C. Por A., a prominent dry goods firm estab lished in Santiago, Dominican Re public in 1870 by his grandfather.

Your conference was evidence of it . . .” Nearly 170 students are expected to attend SCONA X. POLITICAL CLUBS Old Argument Brought F orth At Protest By CLOVIS McCALLISTER Night News Editor EDITOR’S NOTE: This is the second of a series concerning political clubs on state-supported university and college campuses. No matter what the purpose the protest staged Friday by the newly organized Committee for Political Rights was to serve, before it was over it was back to the argument which helped kill earlier attempts for campus acceptance. After James Seabolt, temporary chairman of the committee, gave the statement prepared for the ral ly, State Representative David Haines and County Democratic Chairman Glynn A. Williams urged the group to affiliate with the local organizations. Several committee members in the group voiced opinions that the groups did not want to be a part of a separate body but to have their own group who would meet with the local leaders. It was also voiced that the group did not want to become study groups but to be able to actively participate in political activities. Dean of Students James P. Han nigan said that political clubs were recognized at A&M at one time and could meet as political study groups. Hannigan said one of the clubs advertised a political rally for a candidate in 1960 that would be held in the YMCA. The dean said the group carried advertising on the radio and in the newspaper, and as a result, the rally was called off. In addition to House Bill 86, Han nigan said that another reason for not accepting the clubs on campus is the fact that they are affiliated with national organizations. In the reaffirment of the decision on April 20, the committee suggested students affiliate with the local movement. Hannigan also said the campus groups began to get into hot water and have not tried to limit the clubs as study groups but have wanted to get involved in the thick of the campaigning itself. Other factors given against poli tical clubs are that activities such as SCONA and Great Issues give students an opportunity to hear political questions discussed on the campus. Hannigan added that care must be taken to see that both sides of political questions are publicly discussed. No candidates that are actually running for office may speak at SCONA or Great Issues at the time he is running, Hannigan said. Also, the dean said the Execu- tice Committee feels that off-cam pus organizations in the Brazos County area provide enough faci lities for political studies by uni versity students. The members of the Executive Committee that vetoed political clubs are: President Earl Rudder, Andrew D. Suttle, Jr., vice presi dent of research; Fred J. Benson, dean of engineering; W. J. Graff, dean of instruction; Wayne C. Hall, dean of the graduate college; James P. Hannigan, dean of students. Also Frank W. R. Hubert, dean of arts and sciences; R. E. Pat terson, dean of agriculture; Alvin A. Price, dean of veterinary Medi cine; H. D. Bearden, director of the Texas Engineering Extension Service; Tom D. Cherry, director of business affairs.

All three of the programs are for teachers from junior and sen ior colleges in the physical sciences. The grants include an $11,740 allocation for a new summer insti tute in activation analysis to be directed by Dr. John D. Randall. This six-week institute for 16 teachers will be conducted by the Nuclear Science Center with the cooperation and assistance of the Activation Analysis Research Lab oratory and the Department of Nu clear Engineering. The NSF grant is for participants’ support. Largest of the programs is a continuation of the summer-long institute in physics designed for 42 junior college teachers or teach ers from the smaller senior col leges. This program directed by Dr. James G. Potter, head of the Department of Physics, has an $81,650 grant. “This is the only program in the nation designed for junior college teachers so it attracts teachers from over the nation,” C. M. Loyd, NSF coordinator for A&M, said. Next summer there will be 24 persons starting their study toward a master’s degree in physics and 18 teachers returning for the third summer. Being offered for the fourth summer under a new grant of $14,- 680 is an introductory, six-week course in radioisotope technology. Dr. Robert G. Chochran, head of the Department of Nuclear Engi neering, will direct the course for 20 teachers with Neil Poulsen of A&M as associate director. The course is open to physical sciences teachers from all colleges.
