Tho Battalion lo not In a position to mako a
valid doclaratum aa to Aggie opinion in respect to
the nation ! possible intervention in Europe • war.
but there are some thing* about thio Aggie opinion
that Tha Battalion ean any with accuracy.
One thing lo eorUin . . In the pool year Aggie
opinion haa changed oonoidorahiy but that'a not
new* boeauM m has the eptnon of almost ovary
Amrlaan One A A M profoaaor made It a point
to dioctiM tha oiluation with hia atudento a year ago.
and at that time tho sentiment was unanimous
not on# of the students was wtHiag ta fight nalsM
tho I'nHad Stotoo wm tavoded. Late last May tho
ohms profoaaor brought up tho an me discussion bo-
fart another group of students Tho opinion hod
almost about-faced—seventy percent ef the radoU
indicated that they believed the tailed States
shea id enter tho conflict NOW with possible favor
ahW resalta rather theo enter the war LATER at
whMh time H might ho tea late
Aggies don't want to go to war—but neither
does any other A moncan In hit address last Mon
day, madt from tho campua of tho University of
Virginia, Prastdent Roosevelt was right when ho
declared that complete isolation for the . Unitod
Stotoa waa an utter and fantastic impoooibility. Kg-
gteo recognise this fact and believe in it, but they're
•Mil not aauooo to die in some war that they didn't
have much part in storting
Aggie opinion, K aeema, goes something like
thia: Tea, wall fight if that is what h tehee to pre
serve the Amecieaa way of Ufa. Really, though, we’d
much rather otoy out of thio thing if that is possible
Prance's Premier Pant Raynaud recently aaid,
“We waat U. S. horoopowee—not mao power; we
need bar help—bat in the form of motorised equip
ment, ptanee, and other products of her tremendous
industrial organisation; all she enn ^ooaihly offer
m."
Maybe that's the answer ... At any rata, that
ososm tr ho tho way that Aggmo fool about tho
■itnatioa Lot's giro till it harts whore our iudno
trial prndaota are cone ora id. Aa far as the Unitod
Stotoa ta conremsd. let’s make thia aa iiaaamk war-
faro. lr poaoihie. LETS STAY OUT OP ARMED
COMBAT. But If and whoa tha Unitod Stotoo does
eater armed conflict again, Tasas Aggies will load
tho way.

£ The New Point Syttem
The recently adopted point system which ltm»
its the number of activitteo A A M students may
participate to—is the answer to s long needed reg
uletion of thio sort. But more than that, the regu
lation comoo from the student body is well as from
the faculty—tV faculty passed on the ruling after
it was recommended by e student committee.
There’s nothing new about the system Amer-
icaa educational circles have been advocating it for
more than twenty yoars, and many other American
colleges and universities have similar ruling* Any
institution, when it becomes as large os Texas A.
A M. haa become, has e definite need for this
sort of regulation
One fact about this ruling theft is frequently
misunderstood is its underlying purpose. It isn't t
intended os e method of honoring studento—it's a
limitation, pure and simple
In too many instances Is it true that the
burden of student government fells on the shoul
ders of e few Under the new point system this
will be impossible True enough. th« weights given
the various student executive positions may not
be as accurate or fair as possible at the present
time, but only experience and time can indicate
thia and the weights will be ckangad if it is found
that any of them are out of proportion.
The Battalion believes that the new system will
not only serve to divide student Jobs more evenly,
but that the ruling will make for more interest in
and competition for these various positions.
