The Texas Department Of

after fighting off an attempted
revolution.
Top Middle Eastern leaders

The attempted coup was re-

by the custer of a hard-line
Bath leader, Ali Saleh ell Saadi,
from the party command. Mr..
Saadi was Deputy Premier and
Information Minister.
Transmitters Damaged
There was no official word
on who led the uprising, or
how it was beaten down. Radio
Baghdad, its transmitters ap-
parently damaged by bombs or
sabotage, mentioned only i'm
perialists and conspirators."
But several sources said the
tough little Saadi, who carries
a gun in his right hip pocket,
was the man behind the coup.
The Carlo Radio said Mr.
Saadi and 18 of his henchmen
had been flown in an Iraqi
military plane to Madrid. There
Spanish sources said five Iraqi
officials had been allowed Il
remain in Madrid, but that Il
others and the plane were or.
dered back to Malta, the planes

After morning of combat
including jet plane attacks on
Baghdad's presidential palace
and the AL Rashid military
camp, the capital was reported
quiet at 5 am. EST.
Premier Bakr and Defense
Minister Mahdi Seleh Ammash
appealed over Bagdad Radio
for unity, warned against
"BaathistS killing Baathists"
and promised "all problems will
be solved"
Allegiance Pledged
Commanders of three army
divisions pledged their allegi-
ance to the government.
A mysterious radio calling
itself at times 1.-The radio of
the Iraqi revolution" and at
times "the voice of the Arab
nation" said Mr.. Saadi had
left Baghdad for Madrid.
The new leadership, headed
by Mr.. Bakr. Army Chief of

the unpaid portion of their

word, then turn to the correct place,
somewhere among the paragraph numb
erS and italics you will find the word
you actually wanted in the first place.
Mark Twain once said he thought it
was pretty silly that there is only n
correct way to spell a word. Seems SO
to me too. Now that our schools are
back on phonics perhaps we could loosen
up a little on the restrictions, particularly
with words such as accommodate and
nickel, and just spell them the way they
sound.
Failing this, | will let you in on a
little secret I have learned through Gull
tivating my ignorance: If you can't
spell a word, skip it and say some
thing else, such as scent piece" for
''nickel" and stake care of" for "ac-
commodate," assuming you can spell the
substitutes. If not, don't write; tele-

OF course, like a group that set
themselves up to police activities
of others with no more authority
than public indulgence, the SACS
is going far afield and itself usurp-
ing power. The educational stand
ards that did and continue to pre-
vail at Ole Miss haven't been low
cred in the least by the events that
transpired on the campus. Now,
the association would cripple
the unsupported schools of high
er learning in Mississippi with
punitive action for something 1t
doesn't like.
Mississippi should not only tell
this association where to head in
thereby establishing a precedent
but remind the college presidents
and those of like mind that the
people who pay taxes to run their
schools look to their duly elected
representatives in government, the
ones who impose the taxes, to
handle matters such is these. If
the association should take accred-
itation away from these institu-
