Once it was a mistake, when by un fortunate coincidence an injured Tech player was carried off the field just as the Aggiew gwjOihe "rauberry" to an airplane from But a referee In the Tech game was also given the laugh, causing even some A. 4 ¥. exes In the crowd to be embarrassed by what appeared to be poor sportsmanship. Last week-end “Spike Jones Heir was given tq Mike, LSD's Bengal Tiger, as his cage was driven past the Aggie stands. Suppose some aoheol had given Reveille such a greeting? There probably are occasions when it appropriate for the Aggie rooters to make like Brooklyn Dodger fans. But after all, our teams ain't dam bums. It takes considerable discretion to know when to use one “horse laugh” and when to pans it over. Perhaps it would be better for our reputation to drop that yell from our list. A Summary of the Marshall Plan,., There appears to be aome confusion exlst- in the minds of many people, both In AUAOfl^lMiiE flMN Hi CAfTMflf the United Statee and abroad, as to the megn- ing and the purpose of the Marshall Plan. I The plan was first proposed by Secretary of State George Marshall at the Harvard University commencement in June of this year. It aimply advocates a definite policy u warding rehabilitation of war-tom coun tries of western Europe. Perhaps a list of the inmortant points contained In the Mar shall Plan win clear up any confusion which might axist in the minds of students about the plan. (1) Change from the old idea of spas modic relief to one permitting permanent rehabilitation of Europe, which would re- ouire an eatimated $5 or $6 billion annually for the next three years. (2) /These economic considerations to be completely devoid of any political connec tions and open not only to the countries of western Europe, but also to Russia and the "Commurvist - dominated nations of eastern Europe providing they become a part of the program . 1 (3) The administration of the undertak ing ia to be the rmponHihility of European leaders, with a minimum of American assis tance. and Europe is to be directed as an entity. Of course, the point about the plan which upsets moat Americans is that proposing aid to Rusfia and ita satellites. Most Americans abhor the very idea; evidently, from the action of the Communiat Party in resurrect ing the old ('ommunist International in the guise of a Cominform, the Russians don't care for that idea either. Whether the plan can be inaugurated de pends upon the actions of the United States Congress during ita next session in January. For with no money, the plan will mean noth ing. To many congressmen our coffers are already straining from wartime expendi tures, and they feel that charity should be gin at home. The plan was proposed in June. It will probably be put before our legislators early next year. The intervening time will not have been wasted, eitlter by advocates or opponents cf the plan. The battle over funds is beginning to take shape; loose fur can be expected to fly at any time. * Letters TWO QUHT10N8 Editor, The BatuMa: TWe have beep two thingi on my mind for •ohm time which I want to get off.

It might be well for members of the stu dent body to read what an Aggie Idealist wrote about a|K>rtamanahip, aa should be exhibited by true Aggies. It can be found on page 35 of the new Cadence. The exhibition of such sportsmanship, coupled with consideration and respect, in out of town trips this ysar, will do more toward building a respectable reputation for A4M throughout.the state, and increasing the Worthiness of Aggie life itself, than any other thing thla Vtudei tUA.

NO AMBULANCE! Editor, The Battalion: Your editorial "Walk, Don’t Ride to the Hospital" gave me Um Mod ed urge to write you on a subject that has been hothorinc mo since I bees ate an Aggie. Among other thlnga, I readily noticed that our college hospital did not have •n emergenry ambulance at all Since then I have dreaded the thought of having dbute appendi citis sometime in the early hours of the morning when help wua limited If my roommate did not own a car. 1 fear that by the time my roommate, found the needed transportation, it might be a little late before I would get the neces sary hospital attention. It might be that we are not able to add emergency ambulance ser vice to our hospital because those responsible are so thrifty that they think such a^ service would be an unnecessary expenditure, as the ambulance would be idle moat of the time. Even if such ambulance only saved the life of one Aggie during ita useful service, wouldn’t that more than justify its expendi tures?
