THE BATTALION Page 2 College Station, Texas Friday, December 11, 1964 CADET SLOUCH by Jim Earle KULTURE BATTALION EDITORIALS KORNER Trashy Campaign Launched By B&U Administering the affairs of a university the size of A&M can become a perplexing problem. Take for instance the controversy now raging in academic circles as to whether or not we should paint ^slogans on our new trash cans. The Building and Utilities Department has unloaded this weighty question upon the student body, and Aggies far and wide must answer the call or forever be burdened with the product of their indecision. Should a slogan or emblem be placed on the various ex perimental trash recptacles now adorning our sidewalks, or should they stand barren with no message of warning to those who would not consider their use? B&U officials want to know. Students interested in con tributing a slogan or emblem idea should fill out the accom panying form and return it via campus mail, to O. O. Haugen at the department office. After careful consideration, though, somehow a slogan does not seem sufficient to encourage a trash can’s frequent use. It is doubtful, say, that “Keep Your University Clean” would attract any more trash than “Tippicano and Tyler Too” or “Wait ’Til Next Year.” The solution seems to lie in reverse Aggies psychology. If orders were to be issued that only seniors were allowed to use the new receptables, there would be so much privilege jumping that a thousand of the new cans could not hold the deluge. All Civilian freshmen, sophomores and juniors would make a practice of picking up campus trash and depositing it in the cans only to taunt their Corps counterparts. And Corps underclassmen would stage midnight raids across the campus, picking up trash and overflowing the cans, much to the dismay of seniors who would only mutter, “Old Army is going to hell!” Weekend Movie Preview “Only those who can suffer can love; only those who can love can live” seems to be the general un derlying theme of two excellent movies showing over the week end. Two Women, an Italian film will be showing Friday and Saturday nights at Guion Hall as part of the Foreign Film Series and East of Eden, sponsored by the English Society and Sigma Tau Delta, will be shown Monday night at the Campus Theatre as part of the Department of Eng lish’s Film Classic’s Series.

Could you show me where my bed is?” Fish I think .would be a good slogan I think would be a good emblem left plain (check) Bulletin Board East of Eden, generally re membered for James Dean’s mov ing performance which sent him to stardom, is an Elia Kazan directed recapitulation of the Cain-Abel story. Adapted from John Steinbeck’s novel of the same name, Eden tells the story of the conflict of the “good” brother, Aron (Richard Davalos) with the “bad” Cal (James Dean). Cal is the more worldly, knowl edgeable and resourceful of the pair and for his very wildness and “free spirit” personality loves and is loved by his brother’s girl, Abra (Julie Harris). It is his ultimate regeneration through her response to his love and life which drives him and his brother apart. This is brought about by his revelation to Aron, that their mother, believed to be long dead, is really the owner of two houses of prostitution. The other revival of the week end movie fare is Two Women, directed by Vittorio De Sica, bas ed upon Alberto Moravia’s novel With the screenplay by Cesare Zavattini.

Speaking calmly, Dubois told of repeated attempts by the Unit ed States Government to aid the Cuban revolutionary government which in its infancy were turned down flatly on the direct orders of Fidel Castro. Asked if the Cubans themselves are offering internal resistance to Castro, Dubois said, “There is a strong, silent resistance to the Castro dictatorship, but in a police state such as Cuba you can’t expect government opposi tion to rise and shine.” Dubois commented at some length on his views about a speech to be given Friday in the United Nations by Castro’s top lieutenant and chief military plan ner for the subversion Latin A- merica. order the U.S. to cease the flights. I also feel that he will reiterate Castro’s five points which includes our withdrawal from Guantanamo Naval Base and ask the Sino-Soviet delega tion to attack the U.S. and Bel gium for the mercy missions they sent to the Congo.” When asked if he thought Rus sia would step in if the Organi zation of American States made a move to initiate activities a- gainst Castro’s Cuba, Dubois said: “I seriously doubt that Russia would interfere if the O.A.S. were to take action against Commun ist Cuba, provided that we rein force our own flanks and prepare ourselves to fully support any action that is taken.” Dubois said, “Castro knows that he is a target for assassination and I feel that his assassination would make a tremendous dif ference in the situation in Cuba. Without Fidel Castro, the mysti que of the revolution will disap pear and the revolution will col lapse.” Dubois stated that Castro is now on the economic ropes and this is the reason he started the sugar cane harvest one month earlier than usual. “At least 10 mills are reported grinding now,” he said. In conclusion, Dubois expressed the feeling that “only time will tell if efforts for a united Latin America will work out.” AGGIELAND ’65 CORPS SENIORS A make up schedule for til seniors to have their pictiw taken for the AGGIELAND'Si will be from December 1 to December 11.
