But We Ain’t Dem Bums..,
On* footbaf yeU we could do without is
the “horse lausix”
Three times this year use; of this formal
ized “bronc cheer” has given thousands of
people an unfavorable impression of the Ag-
j?ie*. 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. *

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?
Yours truly,
JESUS CABELLO
