U, H. Is Arbitrator
A colonel in World War I, Che
valier is now it'senior vice-president
of tho McGraw-Hill Publishing Co.
of New York. A year ago !i|n a talk
at the Kiwanis Club he Nakl that
“wo have got to take over as the
arbitrator of world peace.
"From 1815 to 1914 England was
the arbitrator of the peace of the
world. We developed during the
peace. England today is no longer
able to maintain that peace. We
must be willing to foot the bill of
our foreign policy.”
He said that the Russian prob
lem is a three-fold one. First, it is
the technique employed by the to
talitarian state that disturbs the
United States. Secondly, it has its
impact on the Russian people.
There is the technique of infil
tration, of using the minorities in
other nations to undermine the
national well being.
“Third, it is the matter of Rus-
siah imperialistic policy. As long
as I have been reading history it
has been the policy of Russia to
expand toward the warm waters
of the Mediterranean,” he said.

Senators Are Worried
WASHINGTON, April 8 —MP)—
Senators worried about the cdst

must come- from funds already
asked for defense spending.
Lawmakers from both parties—
including both critics and backers
of the rearmament program— re
sponded with all but urianlmous
support for that idea when asked

Student Center Director
Once Edited TU Yearbook
By BUDDY LUCE
,1
A man with big plans for future
Aggies is J. Wayne Stark, director
Of the Memorial Student Center.
His office, until the completion of
the student center, is in the west
wing of Bixxell Hall.
Stark was born in Lamosa one
dark night in 1915, His father was
in the (bug business. Wayne claims
he has trod heavily the road from
rags to riches, but hasn't sighted
the rieheM yet,
Winters, Texas, was where
Wavne worked his way through
high school, lettering in football
basketball ami track, He was a
good track man, golbg to the state
meet one year In ine HHO.yard dash.
He was finishing a strong fourth
in tho Ktete meet In Austin yehen
he heard shouts from the grnmi-
stnnd of "come on, Hterkl” He
wondered who In the stands knew
about the greenhorn from Winters
when he finished in fourth plate,
He later found out that the man
winning the race was also named
Stark and was from Austin High
School. >
, A freshman at A&M in 1985, /
Stark was a member of Battery >
C, Coast Artillery. He was asso
ciate editor of The Battalion for,
two years and wrote a column,
called "Aggie Scrapbook.”
was club editor of the Longhorn
in 1941, president of the Sing
ing Cadets, president of the Bi
ology Club, and a member of the
Ross Volunteers.
When he graduated from A&M
in 1939 with a degree in History,
Stark went to the University of
Texas and entered jaw school. He
studied law fqr two years until
the commission that he had earned
at A&M served as a ticket into
the army in June, J941. He spent
over three years in anti-aircraft
and the remainder of his army stay
as a G-3 on u corps staff in the
European Theater of Operations,
He was released from active duty
December 91, 1945 with the rauk
,'+of Lt, Colonel,
It was when Wayne was a law
student at the University of
Texas that he achieved the seem*
ingly Impossible, He Is Ihe only
Aggie ever td be elected editor
of flte t;nlv*MPy yearbook, "Th**
Cactus,” (Hark was the first In
dependent to be elected to the
office In more than twenty years.
When election day rolled around.
Stark was burned in effigy in
an Aggie uniform by the frater
nities on the TU campus. He was
congratulated by the governor
for his victory and the Austin
A&M Club got a big kick out of
the whole proceedings.
Stark worked in Houston for
Anderson, Clay toil & Company,
kings of cotton, after his release
from the army. He was with the
company a year and a half in per
sonnel work before coming to A&M
in October 1947 to take up the posi
tion of director of the Memorial
Student Center.
Plans for the Student • Center
government revolve around a con
stitution to be drawn up and rati
fied by the eX-students, students,
and faculty. Stark, as director, is
planning the social and business
activities of the Center. He says
that In addition to the 50 or more
students employed now, 200 will
have to be screened through a per-
sonnel setup to qualify for Jobs in
the new Center, The business ac
tivity of the Center will be a* high
ly diversified mb h department
store,
The Center will furnish four
types of food service i deluxe din
ing room, coffee shop, fountain
room and snack bur, and banquet
service, Other features will Include
bowling, billiards, a barber shop, a
68-room air conditioned hotel, a
post office sub station, and a gift
•bop. All these activities will be
run by student committees under
the constitutional government.
Stark is all out for the Memor-
to 9 p. m., according to Henderson Shuffler, d
information. The front of the building will be li
the occasion. j . . - |j
