What Will U.S. Do After Tests?
SMU Suspends 8 For Panty RaidSMU’s Senate Discipline Com
mittee last week suspended eight students for taking part in a panty raid prior to the Easter Holidays. One boy was placed on disciplinary probation and eight more were reprimanded.
The chairman of the discipline committee, a faculty member, said suspension or probation was imposed when students were found guilty of flagrant misconduct, such as unauthorized entry, damaging property, using abusive language, resisting authority or inciting riot.
The lesses punishment of reprimand was imposed on students who participated more or less peaceably, he said.
★ ★ ★The SMU Hoard of Trustees
has voted to raise the yearly tuition from $650 to $800 per year. The increase was attributed to no tax or public support and the reliance on gifts and tuition by the school.
President Tate called tuition
for students not an expense, but an investment. He said that the hike at SMU reflected a nationwide trend of rising costs and the determination to keep improving educational offerings.

Bomb Threat Interupts UT ClassesAn anonymous bomb scare i’e-
cently caused the evacuation of the University of Texas’ Business- Economics Building.
A thorough search of the new $4 million structure failed to turn-up any bomb.
The threatening phone call was made to the central university switchboard shortly after 9 a.m. classes had begun. Students were evacuated about twenty minutes later.
The dean of the college of business administration dismissed the threat as a crank call.
One history class was being tested when the evacuation was ordered. They continued their quiz outside the building.
University officials ordered any other threatening calls to be traced.

WASHINGTON <A>) — A con-i troversy is reported blowing up within the Kennedy administra-| tion over what steps the United States shoul take about trying to. halt nuclear weapons testing when the current series of Pacifi tests is completed.
Some officials are advocating that the United States enter a new moratorium on atmospheric tests, which would mean a versal of present policy.
Others insist that U. S. security requires a complete test ban under a strong international in-j spection system to prevent sneaW tests or secret preparations for| tests.

Some State Department and White House officials familiar with the developing dispute are becoming worried that it may im pair the U. S. bargaining position in the 17-nation disarmament con ference at Geneva.

A reassertion of President Ken^ nedy’s basic policy on nuclear testing is being considered.
“ . . . you ffotta admit they sure had a well-organized campaign for th’ coeducational vote!”
The debate now developing isl concerned with both policy and propaganda.
ministration officials were reportedly talking of the possibility that the United States could afford to join in a ban or moratorium on atmospheric testing when the present series is over. In discussions within the administration, some interest in this possibility is reported to have been shown by the President’s science adviser, Dr. Jerome B. W'eis- ner, who was understood to have raised objections to the current tests before they started.

On the other hand, the U. S. negotiator at Geneva, Ambassador Arthur H. Dean, is said to believe that a full-scale test ban treaty may be possible when the current round of testing is over. This means not only the present U. S. tests but an expected new series by the Soviet Union.

Editor,The Battalion:
The Wednesday, May 2, edition of your fine newspaper had a story reporting the results of the golf and softball matches between the faculty and students of the Electrical Engineering Department. In a matter as serious as the results of athletic competition between the faculty and students, we must protest your publishing what was reputed to be “accurate" results without first getting all of the facts.
All students and teachers are well aware that students and particularly engineering students, make wide usage of two practices:
(1) The use of the F.F. (fudge factors) to convert erroneous data or incorrect answers to values more nearly that desired. (See several pages of such factors in past issues of the “Engineer” magazine)
nished the Data Processing Center late Saturday afternoon. The IBM 709 computer worked overtime all day Sunday and Sunday night.
By 8 a.m. Monday, the results were phoned to the department. The results of the first game was Faculty 3, Students 2; the second game was Faculty 4, Students 17; and the third game was Faculty 2, Students 1.
We readily admit coasting during the second game to get a second wind.
We regret that the students have chosen to distrot the results of a sporting event. In the past
years, there have never before been erroneous reports made, despite the fact that the faculty always won the game.
The real proof that the faculty actually won Hie contests lies in unanimous action of all faculty members teaching senior courses. Quizzes had been scheduled

Further proof comes from the juniors who were spectators at the games. They were all heart to mutter as they walked away, “Wait till next year, Old’ Army.”

(Look through the explorer Daniel Boone made his many laboratory reports in any, first trip into the state prior to engineering professor’s office.) the Revolutionary War.
The student-faculty golf match was a first this year, while the softball game has been an annual event at the AIEE-IRE Society picnic each year for decades. Even the student golf tea#i members admit they were one man short for the golf match, so they drafted the AIEE-IRE Student Society President to play. Since he was drafted, they chose to ignore his astronomical score in reporting the results. Being completely honest individuals, the faculty team counted all their scores, including that of Professor Druce’s 10- year old son. The students report of the match is an excellent example of Practice No. 2 above.
The students also chose to ignore the fact that three soft- ball games were played at the picnic. Complete data was fur-
