More than 150 persons joined in the activities Tuesday which included folk songs, dances and a film showing Pakistanis per forming arts and craft work. Dr. M. T. Harrington, coordina tor of international programs at A&M, praised Pakistan for mak ing amazing economic strides since winning independence in 1947. As guest speaker for the eve ning, Dr. Harrington noted that hundreds of Pakistan’s best stu dents have completed advanced degrees at Texas A&M since a mutual education program was begun in 1954. “The best part of the mutual assistance program,” Harrington commented, “is getting acquaint ed with you, your country and your customs. Many lasting friendships have been formed in this program.” M. Arshad Ali, president of the Pakistan Students Association at A&M, was master of ceremonies for the evening. He voiced spe cial thanks to teachers and friends who have assisted Pakis tan students and their families. THE BATTALION Opinions expressed in The Battalion are those of the student writers only.

Teachers, who were normally allowed to leave during their off periods, were required to remain on the grounds all day. Classes were dismissed at 2:30 and, as the children left the schools, every one breathed a little easier. The relief was only temporary. The schools will continue on the same basis for the remainder of the week and law enforcement of ficers will continue their watch— working eight hours on and eight hours off. THAT SAME DAY, the Grand Jury heard the testimony of a surprise witness who no one was able to identify. The only information that could be learn ed about the man was that he was from out-of-town and had volunteered his testimony. He was rushed in and out of the jury room before newsmen had a chance to ask questions or take pictures. The grand jury recessed at 12:15 p.m. and ordered the dis trict attorney to file an injunc tion against Mrs. Eva Grace Long, the alleged operator of the house, to prohibit her from con tinuing her alleged operations there. This was not the end. Until now, the threats made by the mysterious callers had not ma terialized. THEN EARLY Wednesday morning, a fire destroyed the Chappel Hill Electric Co. in Chappell Hill just nine miles south of Brenham on the Hous ton highway. The owner of the electric company is C. M. Hurst, a member of the Washington County Grand Jury. First witnesses on the scene said they started to move a com pany truck which was parked in front of the building but the truck “reeked with gasoline.” Texas Rangers were sent to the scene and an arson investigator from the state fire marshall’s office in Austin was dispatched to the scene. People of the area are asking themselves, “What is behind all this?” The house in Brenham has been there for years and every schoolboy within 200 miles has grown up with the common knowledge of such houses in Brenham, Sealy and La Grange. If the houses have been there this long, why is the investiga tion just now beginning? And why such violent repercussions ? “YOU HAVE four or five of these houses in Houston,” said Washington County District At torney James Kershaw in defense of the town, “Why don’t the members of the press make such a big thing about them?” In the first place, prostitu tion in Texas is a misdemeanor and grand jury’s don’t normally investigate misdemeanors, al though they have the power to investigate anything they like. In addition, grand jury members in Harris County are not normally threatened in the course of an investigation. “I think we’ve really hit some thing here,” said the Rev. Gilpin. “There is more to this than meets the eye.” “If that mess can cause some thing like this, we gotta clean it out out — that’s what it amounts to,” was the comment of one of the school teachers, when asked if he thought the Grand Jury should call off the investigation. THE PEOPLE of Brenham are afraid, but they are not cowards. The people are proud of their town and they want it cleaned up. The investigation will con tinue and the citizens are willing to cooperate. One local grocer has started a reward fund for the arrest and conviction of the callers. He has contributed $100 to start the fund. Others are sure to join soon. Some of the questions which re main unanswered are natural ones. “What else is going on out there ? ” “Who is behind this?” “Why has this been allowed to go on for so many years?” And, of course, the most fear ed question of all: “What will the callers do next?” Three Faculty Members Attend Confab Three English Department faculty members will represent Texas A&M at a Conference on College Composition and Com munication (CCCC) at Louis ville, Ky., April 6-8.
