Ihttt a strong robot equipped Air Force, or
a huge Water logged Navy Is not this coun
try’s sole salvation In the event of another
war.
Ground forces of the army—hoards of
them—could launch out across Europe
and conquer our allies before we could
rally to action. Once conquered we, would
have to drive the enemy from our allies
soil with ground troops; not atom bombs
not guided missiles.
Americans are prone to be accept the
claims of the more glamorous branches of
military service. We are willing to build
fleets ot airplanes today that may be out
moded tomorrow. We hate the war trench
es and fox holes. But wars must be fought
on ground as well as in the air.
Army Day gives the Generals the op
portunity to exaggerate their claims to
power to the same proportions that other
branches inflate theirs. If war should
come we would have to rely on the Army
to take and hold the ground that possibly
the other branches soften up for conquest.

George Edwards, chairman of
the traffic committee, explained
the information he hud received on
the Senate’s recommendations to
President Bolton on the subject of
traffic regulation reform on the
campus. Only two recommendations
were accepted by'the Administra

One of these called for removal
of traffic violations from an iridi- .
vidual’s record after a specified I
probation period during which the
individual had not received addi
tional violation reports. The other
called for a reviewing and revis
ing where necessary of the pres
ent traffic code.
Among the rejected proposals
IT , were ones calling for student fep-
rfcseatatiou. on the .Traffic Com
mittee add designation “df certain
a mas as 15-minute parking zones.
Julius Blum of the social com
mittee announced that Miss Pat
