For a time, many students used as a re turn address on their mail "College Station (Aggieland)." That it aa far as the move ment wont. At the time the HatUHon was told that If any official statements Were to be made, or setion taken, It would be necessary for the student body to present a petition. This was never done, as other things (sic!) soon oc cupied our minds. So now we suggest to the Student Senate that at their next meeting they diaeuas the nutter, and decide whether nr not to take a poll of students to see how many would favor the change to Aggieland. how many are indifferent, and fk>W many (if any) would oppose. i 1 ' Lettets Btrrims THE IIOOKEm.

Terribly late. ^ » Having been jinxed by the National Wit ches and Necromancers Association, Incor porated, The Battalion finally reached the dormitories and post office about 10 o’clock last night instead of the usual hour of 4 p. m. Through no fault of tho editorial staff, The Battalion was six. hours late. The staff met sll deadlines; the paper was "locked up” and ready to roll at the usual hour (12 noon) toft the presS would not roll. New "chases” (frames into which the metal type is placed) made it difficult for pressmen to adjust the Goss Press to accom modate the inch-longer page. The new frames allow 32 inches more news to appear in each four-page paper. Crew men in the print shop who usually watch the clock when the Batt make-up man is two minutes past deadline were nowhere to be found. They had meekly crawled into a nearby hole to avoid shouts of "deadline! deadline!" coming from Batt editors. The paper rolls broke no less than fifteen times yesterday afternoon, each break caus ing at least fifteen minutes’ delay. When papers began rolling off the press at 7 o'clock last night, there were no circul ation men to be found. So two men worked till the wee hours doing a five-man job. After all is said and done, the Battalion regrets the delay m yesterday’s publication. It won’t happen again—we hoi>e! 'Outlaw Communists' Easy To Say But Harder to Do We Wouldn’t Dare Suggest...

By JAMES MARLOW WASHNGTON, _(AP)-“Oot-! law the Communift party”, says the witness. “That’s how to get rid of Communism in this country." All around the big hearing room people — but mot all the people — nod their heads yes, y«s. For two days It’s been like that at the un- American acti vities committee hearing on whe ther there’s Communist in fluence hi Hol lywood. One witness after another Jsaws SteSsw [ h«s climbed up on'the stand, talked about Communism, and then said: "Outlaw the Party.” It’s easier to talk of outlawing the party than It is to do it. Out- tsw It how? Seeking a definite answer to that question, this writer called a number of lawyers hers and In New York, lawyers inside mid out side the government.

John R. Steel man, presidential assistant in Waahington, thinks *o. In fact, he thinks that the aitnation ?rous to the nation's security, and a national system of aoholarahips lowihipa to keep potential scientists |yen after the GI program is ended. At A. A M. such a program would no doubt involve the shifting of some students from engineering courses to the scientific cwriculum. This would necessitate building I up our "pure-science” departments to'the saine level as our applied courses. A small start has already been made in^hfa direction, with the physics department an excellent example of what can be done, not by tearing down the engineering program but by sup plementing it. At the same time, we would have to • bloiden our program in the humanities, if we want to produce scientists who under stand what they are doing, in relatioa to oilier functions of the world. Steelman’s report said such important v science projects as the atomic energy pro gram have had to be reduced, and a major armv program on guided missies "is only tlirw-quarters staffed.” "There is scarcely a large employer of rimarch investigation who does not have I Motions which he cannot fill, or which he mtist fill with scientists less well trained tfytn is desirable." Steelman said. ; A larger and better science program students who failed to wear shirt, tie and jacket.

He listed these problems and suggested a way they can be overcome. 1. Declining revenue and increased en rollments have created financial problems for many teaching institutions. He proposed that new sources of financial support be found so school* can pay better salaries; ex- lilities and increase teaching staffs. j ln their territory. ■ 2.

I. bill, which aids student veterans, expires. 3. The war caused greater emphasis to be placed on the development field in science and less on basic research. The report rec ommended a broad program for the support of basic research in colleges, with federal assistance. Explaining this third point, Steelman said basic research is the search for funda mental knowledge about nature and the principles that govern Us operation. Applied and developmental research directs these dis coveries toward definite objectives. Thus, he said, the discovery that an atom can be split was made during fundamental inquiries into the nature of the atom. Ap plied research created the atomic bomb. ■fp: A (It) ( the birth of triplet*.
