SMITH ATHLETE OF YEAR
80 Letters, II Awards
Presented at Terp Fete

The University Of Maryland
held its annual spring sports
banquet last nigh. at College
Park, a quiet. modest affair at
which were presented 80 letters
in track, baseball, lacrosse, golf,
rifle and tennis in addition to II
special awards Perhaps the
most unusual achievement got
little notice. however.
Ronnie Waller, a football half
back and a midfielder in lacrosse,
has the distinction of being the
first Maryland athlete member
to play on two national cham
pionship teams in different
sports. A member of the 1858
football team which was voted
the national title, Waller also
performed for the Terp lacrosse
team that finished unbeaten this
spring.
The lacrosse squad dominated
the program last night, not SO
much because the other spring
sports were relatively unproduc-
tive but because it was Mary
lands first lacrosse ""~wn since
1910 and also the first lnbeaten
season in 26 years under the
coaching of Jack Faber and Al
Heagy.
Thanks Squad Members
DR.. Faber, also head of the
university's Bacteriology Depart
ment. along with Heagy has COM
piled a record Of 100 victories,
46 defeats and two ties. Speak
ing of his current team last
night, he said:
This is the kind of squad Al
and I have tried to get together
ever since the war. We got our
first indication early in the sea-
son that this time we had a
championship club.
We've had good teams in the
past but they never quite. went
undefeated. Al and I have faced
that situation at least 10 times
in the past and it looked like we
were going to meet it again last
Saturday against Johns Hopkins
when they tied the score.
Then someone got that sixth
goal-Tamburello it was-and
the roof caved in on Hopkins.
Again I'd like to thank the men,
bers of this squad for a very
pleasant spring"

Mr.. Nixon's New Mission

Together with his wife, Vice President
Nixon will 60 globe trotting again, begin
ming probably in November. This time
his itinerary will take him to the Middle
East and to several African countries like
Ethiopia and Liberia. AS the White House
has explained, the main purpose Of his
tour will be to meet numerous govern
mental leaders, hear their views, and
convey to all the sincere greetings Of the
President and people Of the United States.
In short, his projected new mission will be
aimed primarily at cultivating friendship
and good will, and he can be counted upon
to make an excellent job of it.
Mr.. Nixon, after all, has already
proved himself in this field-and so has
his wife, for that matter. Some IS months
ago, he rendered fine service to the Nation
on his tour of the Far East, and earlier
this year he did the same thing in Latin
America. On the latter trip, incidentally,
he played an effective peacemaker's role
in the strife between Nicaragua and
Costa RIGA, and possibly, when he arrives
In the Middle East, he may be able to
contribute something to efforts to effect
an easing Of Arab-Israeli tensions. In any
event, the American people can be con-
ndent that he will represent them well
wherever he goes.
No other Vice President has been as
engaged as Mr.. Nixon in missions Of this
sort. They are important undertakings
Their results cannot be measured specifi-
cally, but they undoubtedly serve our
country,s best interests. More than that,

Test in the Sudan

Current troubles in the Sudan are
manifestations of basic incompatibility
between the inhabitants of the northern
and southern parts Of that country. In
race, religion and language there are
wide differences between the relatively
advanced Arab Moslem population of the
north and the more primitive pagan pop
ulation OF the south. Through the half
century OF Anglo Egyptian condominium
rule these differences were relatively
unimportant since neither part Of the
country was exercising any substantial
political control over The other. The
rapid progress Of the last few years
toward Self-determination- which the
country could select from the three alter
natives Of membership in the British
Commonwealth, union with Egypt, or
complete independence. - has brought
these internal differences to the fore.
In 1858, Britain and Egypt agreed on
the formula for Sudanese self determine
ton, Parliament was established and
popular elections held. Troops Of the two
ruling countries were to remain until the
Parliament took action enabling the
country to make its own decision on It's
political future. Within the past fort
night. the legislative body has voted to
go on to the next step-to choose, either
through plebiscite or through election
Of constituent assembly. among the
three alternatives. An apparent increase
in sentiment for full independence, rather
than association with either Britain or
Egypt, has developed in recent months,
with the northern area providing the
dominant influence. It is this latter fac
tor that has aroused some Of the south
ern tribes and has led to disorders and
to limited mutiny of southern elements
In the native defense force.
At this point, the rebellion does not
appear TO be highly organized one
that might develop into real civil war.
Native authorities at Khartoum have
demanded It's end but have been re-
strained in their retaliatory military
action. Probably wisely, British and
Egyptian authorities have refrained from
punitive military steps. In a sense, the
trouble Is test Of Sudanese capacity for
self-rule and its resolution without OUT
side Intervention may be beneficial In
the long run.
