Life subcommittee for administering and
spending the special Book and Record Fund
of $14,782.67, yesterday.
Reporting to the Student Life Committee,
Dr. Potter said that the 6-man library com
mittee had met with Librarian Paul Ballance
f to organize the work of the group.
All funds will be encumbered
and disbursed under the supervis
ion of the subcommittee, Potter
reported. The library staff will
make the selections of books to be
purchased, and all pertinent order
information will be recorded on
index cards.
On the first and fifteenth of
each month, Ballance will submit
to the subcommittee a list of rec
ommended books, at which time
final selection will be made.
In suggesting titles, students
should give complete information,
such as author .title, date, and
publisher, Dr. Potter advised.
When the book arrives, the student
who recommended purchase will
be notified if he so desires.
Potter . emphasized that the li
brary will not expend any of these
funds from Exchange Store prof
its for scientific or technical books
or books for which adequate funds
are already provided.
Rather than purchase a new
record player for the library with,
the special fund, Potter advised
Ballance to solicit, the various
Mothers Clubs to raise the neces-
, , , . sary amount. However, the' com-'
iest$. Each member is allowed niitteje will agree to the expendi-

By C.i C. TRAIL
Seventy percent of all students
and faculty members questioned
yesterday, “Are you in favor of
Universal Military Training," an
swered in the affirmative. The sur
vey, which was conducted by Bat
talion reporters, revealed that 22
percent opposed compulsory train
ing, wheil 8 percent voiced no
opinion.
Most of those interviewed who
favored UMT gave the same rea
son for their stand—that is, for
defense and as a “big stick” in
backing the. U. S. foreign policy
in Europe.
M. L Hannah, an ex-chaplain,
who served 27 months in the army,
now a professor in modern lang
uages, said ,that UMT would dis
cipline young men and better pre
pare them to meet life’s problems.
Of the same opinion is D. L.
Sechelshi, a freshman In the corps,
who said;
‘U.MT will train men to
take care of themselves in event
of our be ng involved in a war. Ex
periences gained while in the ser
vice shoifld equip them to better
live with their fellow man,”
G. Q. Pool, veteran senior, said,
“As far is the nation is concerned,
I believe wi should follow Teddy
Roosevelt’s adage of “Speak softly
and carry a big stick.’ This big
stick can be obtained only through
UMT.”
Many people favored UMT pro
vided it carried certain limitations.
Dr. A. B, Nelson, history'professor,
had this .to say: “If UMT is purely
'ii
.
ni n
I ili
a defeh
ly for it
sary as
e measure, I am certain-
hovrever, if it is not neces-
means of defense) it is
socially undesirable in that it de
stroys individuality.” Nelson also
contends that the benefits under
the GI Bill of Rights for educa
tion are “socialistic” and unfair
to the men who are not called to
arms under Selective Service.
Warren Gilbert, veteran with 3p
months of service under his belt,
contended that he was for UMT if
it cobid be administered! in colleges
something like the ROTO plan herS
at A. & M.
Dr. S. R. Gammon, Head of the
history department and a veteran
of World War I, said that he was
in favor of UMT “with respect U>
A. & M. UMT will produce mature,
settled students. Many pf the stu
dents who come hejre directly from
high school are unsettled and im
mature."
The minority group agreed with
Truett Rook, modem language pro
fessor and veteran from the navy.
Book said, “If we are working for
peace, a large army is no way of
reassuring the world that our ob
jective is peace.”
•I. E. Regan, veterah whose
letter to the editor appeared in
The Batt last Friday, still main
tains his opinion that the US should
not submit to UMT, as rt is the
"United Nations job to enforce
peace.’"
Tom Thompson, vetesah, claims
that UMT is unconstitutional. Sal'
Thompson, “Requiring our you
men to take military training
time of peace is contrary to
rules laid down in our constitution.
If t|is country were to maintain a

r
large, standing army, it would
pear *s a threat to other large ni-

Ej D. Blamford, junior v
had this to .say: "I believe th|
tendertcy of a democjraitic

pie at the conclusion bf] the fi

in the end if it continues, havt! s< | ne

“Ih place of UMT, Ii believ
