Britain is being invaded again—this time by
beetles. Not the female kind, bft the potato eating
variety. A “beetle patrol” has been commissioned
to Keep the pests out.
The battle to keep the beetle from Britain’s
shores is—according to the Ministry of Agriculture
—“being fought on the beaches, along the roads, and
in the fields.” Vfe shall never surrender our British
land!

Only Answer . ..
After the Republican coinvention last week and the subsequent pub
lication of the party platform, one cannot help but believe that the old
Republican conservatism is gone forever. . ,
The platform that the party adopted certainly wasn’t written by
a Taft, Coolidge, or Harding. The change from tile days of the 1920’s
is profound: the Republicans have swung left;
To be sure, the party itj still the conservative element, but its con
servatism isn’t whati it was before the Roosevelt administration. It
can’t afford to be.
During the past 16 years the American citizen has become more

The plan to meet these burdens must
encompass two things—increased produc

must be permitted to share fairly inithe

Deal administration,
In trying to compete successfully with the New
the Republicans have been forced to liberalize to
Kuch an extelit that dnany of the party’s rudiments have been lost.
And so, the present platform is internationalist, endorsing the
United Nations, and asking for a world police fotce. It supports the /
new Jewish, Israel. It is for a civil rights program but is silent on FEP(
a$ it now stands. I
The platform calls for reciprocal trade agreements, an intensified
campaign against domestic jinflation, and a. federal housing program.
It refers to collective bargaining as an “obligation as wen as a
right”, and it attempts to square itself with labor by saying/that the
right to strike is “subordinate only to paramount considerations of pub
lic health and safety.”
In addition, thei platform makes imperative an “aecflerated pro
gram of sounder so|l conservation,” and it endorses farmer’s eo-opera-
ti\(es and rural electrification. ' / | /
There is a certjain familiarity about the platform. Is it . possible
that the Republicans have' adopted' some of the; ‘/radical, socialistic”
ideas of the New Dyal? Ope would think that: tin/party is still fight
ing Roosevelt. Apparently it has learned’ a lesson-in the last 16 years,
for it looks like the! party is going to put the ^cachings of its instruc
tor to work.

“Sooner or later we must all sit
down to the banquet of conse
quences”, Robert Louis Stevenson
wrote many years ago.
Today 3414 students of A&M
find themselves partaking of the
academic “feast.” For some it is
an involuntary meal which was
made necessary by some hard
hearted professor who wrote F on
that final grade report, when a D
might have done just as well. No
one has ever satisfactorily explain
ed why professors are like that.
For the veteran, who has seen
his schooling interrupted once, this
summer session is but another race
against time. It is a race against
that day when another interna
tional upheaval may take place
and call him from his studies. Go
ing to school in hot. weather is
seldom entirely to his liking and
he certainly cannot be held re
sponsible for preparing this; sum

To other groups such as school
teachers, ^hort coursers and spec-,

comparable to a vacation or it/is
merely the lesser of two evibf in
the college versus home battle.

thought of summer school, L made
