term speaker for Texas A&M’s
University Lecture Series.
Voters Pass
7 Amendments
To Charter
More than 000 voters turned
out Saturday to pass seven
amendments to the College Sta
tion city charter.
Six of the amendments will go
into effect as soon as they are
certified and the other will start
with the April elections.
In the election’s tightest con
test the city’s method of electing
couneilmen was changed from the
ward system to the place system
by a majority of 21 votes.
In April’s election the candi
dates will register for a place on
the ballot, such as Place 1 or
Place 2. Voters will then pick
their favorite in each place.
Amendment One, which carried
by a 550-vote margin modernized
the College Station city limits.
The mayor and couneilmen are
now required to be property own
ers in College Station, according
to Amendment Two. Also they
can not be behind in taxes or lia
bilities for more than 90 days.
Amendment Three limited to
two years the appointed terms of
certain city officials, secretary,
judge, and city attorney, to run
concurrently with the term of the
mayor.
Passed 573 to 31, Amendment
Four increases the emergency ap
propriations in the annual budget.
Providing more time for the
Board of Equalization to conduct
business, Amendment Five car
ried by a 538 margin.
The process by which the city
grants franchises was clarified
in the Sixth Amendment.
Dr. Haskell M. Monroe, Univer
sity Lecture Committee chairman,
said Mousnier’s appearance as a
Danforth Visiting Lecturer is one
of five programs scheduled for
the spring series.
Mousnier, founder and director
of the Center for Research in
Modern European Civilization,
will speak Feb. 29 on “Social
Classes in Recent European Civil
ization” at A&M’s Memoi’ial Stu
dent Center ballroom.
Monroe said Mousnier is best
known for his works which in
terpret European civilization as
the primary source of ideas and
change in recent centuries
throughout the world.
ANOTHER Danforth Lecturer
is slated for a March 12 visit to
A&M. Dr. Harold Cassidy, Yale
chemistry professor, will discuss
“Cybernetics for the Layman,”
which he believes may be a tool
for achieving harmony and schol
arship between the sciences and
the arts.
Dr. Oskar Morgenstern, a
Princeton University professor
and former White House advisor
during President Eisenhower’s
administration, will speak April
17. The University of Vienna
graduate will use “Individual De
cisions and Social Welfare” as his
lecture theme.
An April 30 lecture, “A Paleon
tologist Looks to the Future,”
will feature Dr. Alfred S. Romer,
Alexander Agassiz Professor of
Zoology Emeritus at Harvard.
Romer, the recognized authority
for his discipline in the United
States, is well known for his
contributions to man’s knowledge
of the evolution of vertebrate
animals.
GEORGE WILLIAMS, a cre
ative writer and research schol
ar, will discuss “Britain Declin
ing” May 9. Williams, who has
taught creative writing and Eng
lish literature for many years at
Rice University, is the author
of several works for aspiring
authors.
His experiences as a faculty
member and teacher of under
graduates are reflected in “Some
of My Best Friends Are Profes
sors.” Williams’ novel, “The Blind
Bull,” was acclaimed by literary
critics.
Aggies Invited To Participate
In CBS National Smoking Test
University National Bank
“On the side of Texas A&M”
—Adv.
Local cigarette, cigar and pipe
smokei's — and non-smokers—are
invited to participate in a test
with Texas A&M students Tues
day night at the Memorial Stu
dent Center.
The test, conducted by Dr. Don
ald J. Merki and Dr. John M.
Chevrette of the Health and Phy
sical Education Department will
furnish data for studies the pro
fessors are making through an
A&M Council for Organized Re
search grant.
Questions by TV monitor will
be presented on the one-hour
CBS-TV special, “The National
Smoking Test,” to be televised at
9 p.m. by KBTX-TV.
Merki stressed that the meas
urement-type quiz is open to all
interested persons. Participants
should be in the MSC ballroom
by 8:30 p.m.
He said test results are for re
search purposes and that no in
dividual responses will be made
public. Questions will concern
anti-smoking education, why a
person continues to smoke, how
the habit is formed and how
smoking affects health.
“We are also interested in
studying changes in attitudes
about smoking over a period of
time,” the department’s health
education specialist noted.
“A public health official esti
mates that most of the U. S.’s 49
million smokers are unhappy with
it and would like to quit. The
smoking test may explain moti
vations for smoking and help if
they want to quit,” Merki said.
‘Dead Week 9 Is Alive And Well At A&M
Dead week is a dying issue at
Texas A&M.
The concept of “dead week,”
never officially recognized by the
university, has it that no major
quizzes will be given during the
week preceding final semester
examinations.
The period—so the pipe-dream
goes—instead is used by the stu
dents to prepare for finals.
Semester-ending tests begin at
A&M Friday evening and hit full
stride Monday, Jan. 22, at 8 a.m.
Three - a - day finals continue
through 4 p.m. Jan. 27.

carrying 18 hours reveals they
expect from one to three major
“letter” quizzes this week.
“Finals will be a breeze if I
can get through this week,” one
student commented.
Another said he never beileved
in “dead week.” “I figure the
major quiz I’ll take Thursday will
keep me in fighting trim for next
week,” he remarked.
Several Aggies indicated all the
letter exams in courses they take
have been given. But they ex
pect “pop” minor exams.
The idea of dead week stretches
into the past and probably derives
from a logistical situation involv
ing graduating seniors.

The Texas College and Uni

proved Monday Texas A&M’s re
quest to establish a College of
Business Administration, an
nounced A&M President Earl
Rudder.
President Rudder said the new
college could possibly be formed
by the fall semester this year. The
university currently operates a
School of Business Administra
tion within its College of Liberal
Arts.
The board, meeting in Austin,
also awarded Texas A&M two
federal grants totaling $51,243,
with provisions for an additional
$58,825 grant if funds are avail
able.
Both grants were awarded
under the Community Service
and Continuing Education pro
gram. One provides $25,680 for
community service seminars and
reciprocal education and the
other $25,563 for programs for
county governmental officials.
The provisional grant would al
low the university to establish a
comprehensive program in trans
portation.
In other action affecting Texas
A&M, the coordinating board au
thorized the university’s estab
lishment of a Ph.D. program in
veterinary physiology and mas
ter's programs in psychology and
health and recreation.
The board also appointed Dr.
John C. Calhoun, A&M’s vice
president for programs, to serve
on its advisory committees for
Community Service and Continue
ing Education and State Techni
cal Services.
A&M’s decision to seek formal
“college” status in business ad
ministration was approved by the
university’s board of directors in
November.
University officials told board
members the School of Business
Administration has experienced
remarkable growth in enrollment
and programs within recent years
at both the undergraduate and
graduate levels. They pointed out
business administration enroll
ment now totals approximately
1,400.
When the new provisions be
come effective, business adminis
tration will rank alongside engi
neering, science, geosciences, lib
eral arts, agriculture and veteri
nary medicine as major divisions
of the university.
ment. Their course grades were
forwarded to the registrar’s office
early this week.
Since graduating seniors do not
take final exams during the se
mester they graduate, most major
quizzes are scheduled through
the middle portion of the 17-week
semester to form the basis for
their course grades. Majors gen
erally calculate one-third or more
of the undergraduate’s course
mark, with the final equally
weighted.
“Dead week” isn’t free time for
the graduating senior, however.
Regulations prohibit the “short-
timer” from cutting classes dur

Bombing Called
No Short Cut
To War’s End
By GARDNER L. BRIDGE
WASHINGTON <■#*) — A non
partisan group of citizens includ
ing former President Dwight D.
Eisenhower said Monday that
bombing is not “a cut-rate route
to victory” in Vietnam.
But at the same time the re
cently formed Citizens Commit
tee for Peace With Freedom in
Vietnam refrained from any spe
cific recommendation in the con
troversy over U.S. bombing of
North Vietnam.
It said that rather than sur
render to the Communists, Amer
ica “will stay the course” in the
fight against aggression.
The group presented what it
called both sides of the argument
over an extended bombing pause,
together with its conclusions, as
Congress met for an election-year
session that is bound to be rocked
by the issue.
A special subcommittee on
bombing policy concludes that
“there is no purely military so
lution to the limited conflict” in
Vietnam.

Texas A&M’s bumper sticker
parade has taken to the air—in
Vietnam.
“We aren’t allowed to mark up
aircraft,” commented 1st Lt.
David Whaley of Fort Worth, but
grease pencil messages on the
plane in which he flew reconnais
sance read: “Gene Stallings for
President” and “Cotton-Picking
Texas Aggies.”
Whaley, home on a 30-day ex
tension leave, has a load of good
ies to take back to Vietnam on
his second tour.
During his first year in South
east Asia, the 23-year-old Army
officer was an infantry unit for
ward observer, fire director offi
cer of an artillery battery and
division artillery aerial observer.
He returns this week to the 4th
Infantry Division as air observer
section liaison officer.
WHALEY ATTENDED A&M
in 1962. He entered Officer Can
didate School the following year.
He traveled half way around
the world to be at the A&M-Ala
bama game, sandwiching the Cot
ton Bowl between tours of duty
in Vietnam.
“I had that figured for a year,”
said the son of Mr. and Mrs. C. D.
Whaley, 4849 Sherwood Drive,
Fort Worth.
Aggie friends in Vietnam will
likely be waiting at the plane for
him.
“The fellows asked for the
Cotton Bowl game film,” he said.
A visit with Stallings revealed
the New Year’s Day films are
currently unavailable, but Whaley
was assured a copy would be
rushed to him as soon as possible.
“THE FILM will get lots of
exposure,” the former Company
A-2 and Fish Drill Team mem
ber promised Bud Moore, assist
ant coach who handles Aggies
movies.
“Normally, we’d rent an offi
cers club and throw a party,”
Whaley explained. “If we can
get the film, I can guarantee it
will get on TV from Dragon
Mountain.” He said the armed
forces radio and TV complex will
assist.
“I’ve seen one ‘I Love Lucy’
show three times and the A&M-
SMU game six times,” the officer
noted.
“We’re going to be there awhile,
but it’s bearable with the Aggies
winning,” Dave smiled.
VIETNAM’S EARLY morning
peace and quiet were shattered
one morning, according to Whal
ey’s description.
“The broadcast of the Thanks
giving game finished at 2:10 a.m.,
then we had a yell practice,” the
young officer recalled. “The win
was a great morale booster.”
The brother of a 1956 A&M
graduate^ Joe B. Whaley, has
some surprises for Aggies in
Vietnam and puzzlers for the VC,
within limits of vehicle marking
regulations.
He’s taking back an arm load
of bumper stickers proclaiming
“How Sweet It Is, 10-7,” “Won
der Where the Orange Went” and
“Is Bevo Expecting?”
