Texas Group Chats With FuzzMembers of the Silver Spurs,

an honorary organization at the University of Texas, and their newly selected Rowels were stop­ped in the mist of their “riding” activities last week by the Austin Police Department.

Traditionally, old and new members of the group engage in the game of “capturing” each other for “rides.”

Police investigation cleared the group of the complaint made by a resident in the area where they were “riding.” The citizen told the police that he thought that the boys who created the distur­bance near his house were not members of the Silver Spurs.

measures that should be taken to protect pedestrians.

The group will have either members of campus service groups or maintenance people to put up barriers around the Circle between classes during the week of April 22-27.

If the experiment is well receiv­ed an effort will be made to in- stall electronically controlled gates to regulate the traffic.

Faculty, Students Discuss CodeStudents and faculty members

at Baylor University entered into disagreement last week during a session on a proposed honor code.

The debate centered around the severity of punishment for cheat­ing prescribed in the new code.

A faculty member suggested that the committee make some provision in the code for extenu­ating circumstances.

Students at the meeting gener­ally expressed a feeling that “cheating is cheating” regardless of the circumstances.

“Even though you do have a part time job during the holi days the dean doesn’t have the authority to excuse you from class!”

YOU MAY NOT AGREE with what General Edwin A. Walker says. You may feel that he should not have gone to Mississippi after the demonstrations had begun, just as some people feel that Freedom Riders from the North should not have carried their dem­onstrations into the South.

General Walker is concerned over our present policy of pre­paring’ to merge our military es­tablishment with a U. N. Peace Force made up, for the most part, of nations hostile to our way of life, particularly when the Assis­tant Secretary General in charge of disarmament and military af­fairs for the U. N. is the tough Soviet E. D. Kiselev.,

YOU MAY NOT AGREE with his concern on this or on his stand for states’ rights. But whether you do or not, that is-not the issue in the present Walker

While General Walker was en­gaged in what he contends was peaceable assembly in Mississippi, he was apprehended by United States marshals, charged with four crimes bearing on insurrec­tion, and sedition, not allowed to post bail, ordered by a federal judge to a federal mental prison for a sixty to ninety day period.

Thus, General Walker for a brief period became the first poli­tical prisoner in the United States. This is a situation that warrents a serious assessment of where we are and where we are going. If this legal precedent is set, we are in serious trouble in the years ahead.

ALL OF THIS comes at a time when the Communist party here in the United States is openly defying the laws of the land that require it and its members to re­gister with the Department of Justice.

I was counsel to the United States Senate Internal Security Subcommittee of the Judiciary Committee for five years and had to watch the way Gommuni- ists were treated after their ar­rests under the Smith Act, the various espionage acts and related legislation.

Not one hard-core Khrushchev henchman was treated the way General Walker was treated. Every Communist was scrupul­ously accorded his rights under the Constitution.

Good proof of this is that virt­ually every Communist arrested under the Smith Act has had his conviction set aside by judicial decision.

THIS DANGEROUS double standard can be serious. First of all, it gives the impression to all the world that if you go along with the Communists all will be well. If you Identify yourself with resistance to Communists as General Walker has,’on the other hand, you encounter a plague of troubles.

The Walker case involves a dangerous precedent. A United States citizen in the future may wish to protest the action of the federal government in something other than overriding the author­

ity of the State of Mississippi. He may wish, for instance, to pro­test being merged under the ban­ner of th6 United Nations with Mr. Kiselev as his leader.

If he engages in peaceable as­sembly to raise his voice in pro­test, he could be rushed off to a federal prison hospital, ordered held for psychiatric observation, denied bail, denied a public trial and denied even the writ of habeas of corpus.

Editor,The Battalion:

Sevei’al girls from.T.W.U. have received copies of a letter writ­ten by Peggy Armstrong, which appeared in the March 27, Bat­talion, and we would like to brief­ly comment on our reactions.

Every opportunity we’ve had to visit A&M, we have thoroughly enjoyed being ladies appreciated by gentlemen, not animals, tra­ditions and fun are valuable me­mories to each of us. We feel the water throwing crew was a lost delegation from Texas (they were slightly “out of it” when they left the Southwestern Journalism Con­ference held in Denton) or per­haps Miss Armstrong is attempt­ing to secure a position on the Time magazine staff. Her letter to The Battalion would be an ex­cellent reference. We also feel if Miss Armstrong participated in T.W.U. affairs, Stunts, etc., she would realize not only Aggies throw water.

We hope her letter did not ad­versely influence the attitude of Aggies toward Tessies, because in conducting a random poll we discovered girls do like Aggies and AGGIES DO LIKE GIRLS.

Gung-ho always,Paula Ann Clark Julia Ward Linda Berlanga

★ ★ ★Editor,The Battalion,

I noticed the other day a let­ter to the editor in The Battalion from a Miss Peggy Armstrong, a journalism major from T.W.U. In this letter Miss Armstrong complained long and loud about some water thrown from a dormi­tory window here which narrowly missed her. From this incident Miss Armstrong appeared, in her letter, to conclude that all Aggies are brutes, animals and woman- haters. She ended her letter by saying, “There is a lot wrong with guys who don’t like for girls to be around.”

I would like to compliment her on her ability with a pen, she most ably axed the Aggies.

I feel myself to be perhaps peculiarly qualified to write an answer to her complaint, as I met Miss Armstrong for the first time shortly after this most, most horrible incident occurred. At this time she was not particu­larly incensed about the deluge at Mitchell Hall. In fact, she seem­ed to rather like Aggies at this time, and I’m quite sure she didn’t feel that Aggies were anti-

female.Now I’m rather the shy type,

but I must admit that about an hour after I first met Miss Arm­strong we were . . . uh, . . . uh, ... well, watching the grass grow at Kyle Field. All this leads me to believe that Miss Armstrong wasn’t and isn’t par­ticularly angry about her near- miss by the water. Instead, I am afraid that her letter was sim­ply an endeavor to add a feather to her journalistic cap.

I must admit, I’ve committed an act which is both ungentle- manly and un-Aggielike — I’ve kissed and told. However, I feel that her defamatory letter called for a rather drastic counter-ac­tion.

It is with some trepidation that 1 submit this letter as I some­how feel that it will end the promising exchange of letters that she and I have carried on for the past two weeks.

Hot Times A heal In Kremlin Halh

By WILLIAM L. RYAN (TP) Special Correspondent

The keat is on in the Soviet Union. The Kremlin is directing a broad crackdown to reassert

full and rigid Communist party authority over Soviet life.

The campaign may reflect an inner party struggle at top levels. The future of Premier Khrush­chev’s supporters could be at stake. There are hints that he has severe critics high in the ranks of both the party and the armed forces.

The party crackdown seems to reflect even the Chinese-Soviet split. Red China continues to gun for Khrushchev’s hide, and it is possible the Chinese have some sympathetic hearers among older generation Soviet Communists.

A form of Stalinism appears to be returning to Soviet life, pos­sibly designed by Khrushchev to counteract worry among so-called Communist conservatives. Es- stablishment of some Stalinist methods could be the result of pressure on Khrushchev and his
