With the Icynical outlook of men who have been powdered-egged and spammed with utter disregard of cost, ihey ckn no longer enjoy the simple, down-to-earth things which past generations of Aggies hakre known and loved. The.# Veterans (sic) have looked about them, and with the embittered discontent of the-idle rich (what with the new subsistence raise) have actually be gun ’to complain! T With malicious delight they have shiitjterCd the rosy delusions of their younger and more naive brethren. Gleefully they point out that A&M is not perfect;‘in fact it has many shortcomings-indeed. “Our gym is too small,” they ■litj hll j ' j I bridge tables and froni over bars across -thie nation. The situation is nothopeless, and there |sfa way out of this colossal dilemna, ejespite the fact that W. Lee O’DjLipiel is rumored to be plan ning to cohduct his senatorial cam paign this fall On .the assumption that Jihi* (iituutioh is hopeless and must be accepted. j - .ThereHs only one solutioh, which is amazing in its simplicity.

As a matter of fact quite a stir was' created at Wil liam & Mary U. in 1783 when stu dent-veterans of the Revolutionary War demanded that whiskey-jug eojrks be .listed as expendables, but this is digression. ^ Today the situation is far more serious, if not at an outright cjrisis. ^or the paked truth is thatj- the voqngcr men, the TOsy-cheek; red- blooded, ideal American youth (i. the ring-side for the referee’s nouncements. . % “Ladieeeees and gentlem we take great pleasure in pres< ing tonight’s feature event . . fifteen incisions for the heavy weight ailing champ—peanshipf of the woild! . .

At this time when the Copgress has under consideration the exten sion of rent controls beyond the present expiration date of Febru ary 29, 1948, it removes any doubt about the authority of Congress to regulate rents, Mr. Woods said. The Court ruled in the cdse of Woods versus Miller Company, up holding the Housing Expediter and reversing the decision of Federal Judge Paul Jones of the Northern District of Ohio. Judge Jopes had ruled the Rent Act uncbnsitijtional because he contended the Presiden tial proclamation terminating: hos tilities on December 31, 1946, in-) aueurated “peace-inffact.” > The Housing Expediter said that his office will see that the jaw is; enforced to the full extent of his authority. . f; “I was particularly impressed,” Mr. Woods said, “by that part of the Court’s decision saying that Legislative history of the present control room and installation of the other new- equipment, Pierre states that it is his hope to provide the people of this area with com plete coverage of every special event presented on the campus.
