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. The football team
showed by their performance this

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.
He recently served as president of
a commission which studied and
made recommendations for estab
lishing a regional development au
thority to manage future develop
ment programs in the Yaque Val
ley, where Santiago is located.
During 1944-45, Pastoriza worked
with an American firm of consult
ing engineers in South America.
Outside his business activities Pas
toriza is president of the Associa
tion para el Desarrollo, a private
non-profit development association
which sponsors several programs.
One is the development of an agri
cultural school in Santiago.
In this capacity, he meets regu
larly with President Earl Rudder
and Dr. G. M. Watkins, director of
instruction in the College of Agri
culture.

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.
Bennett M. Dodson, superinten
dent of the Texas Maritime Aca
demy; H. L. Heaton, director of
admissions and registrar; John E.

Agriculture Extension Service; R.
E. Wainerdi, associate director of

rector of the Texas Agricultural
Experiment Station, and G. M.

jVSF Grants $104,070
For Summer Science Meet
The National Science Foundation
approved grants totaling $108,070
for three summer programs at
A&M.
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.
