Student Aid Fund: A Friend in
i;.
A little known loan fund existing on
the campus and available to students is
the Student Loan Fund administered by
Dan Russell, head of the Rural Sociology
department.^
This fund is one of several funds that
students may draw on in times of hard-
ships.^The Student Aid Fund is peculiar
in that it serves students who need money
to pay for medical or dental aid above that
covered by their hospital fees.
•i The unique feature of the Student Aid
Fund is that students borrowing money
.sot the times they will make payments. No
interest is charged on the loans.

Case History of the Political Pastor
Politics can extend to: many fields, es
pecially in Oklahoma.
In that statt|, interest is mounting in
the coming race for U. S. Senate, now
held by one Elmer Thomas. One of the
most popular men in Oklahoma since Will
Rogers hals tossed his hat into the ring—
The Reverend Bill Alexander is running.
\ Alexander has approached religion
with a much more broad frame of mind
than has been seen in many years. He has
advocated arid installed for the younger
generation pool tables, bowling alleys, and
other forms of entertainment usually
frowned upon from the pulpit.
Speaking five or six times a week
throughout the state and often in Texas,
Alexander has developed a following
equalled by few in the state of Oklahoma.
Whether this following will follow him

In England 24,000 acres is quite a plot
of land. And for one man to own it is
holding equivalent to many sections of
Tcxah ranchland. ,\ ,
.The Earl of Harewood, nephew to
King George, e is the landholder of such
vast acreage in England, but not for long.
i Tho Earl has announced that he will
be forced to sell his estate because of high
income taxes. Thus, another great estate
in England will be broken up into small
holdings in aoeialiiit Britain.
After hundreds of years of great dis-
jmrlty between rich and poor, Britain has
decided at the polls to level-off wealth and
redistribut© it. Injmenkely high taxation
on incomes has forced many such sales as
the Earl olf Harewood. Whether this taxa
tion wtll destroy initiative among the able
in Britain is a condition not yet manifested
in. Britain.
Whatever the outcome, Britain has em
barked on an experiment in government
that has met with notable failures in other
countries. Perhaps the British feel that
they can profit by the mistakes of other
countries who have adopted the socialistic
patff'of national existent and failed. May
be the British feel that they won’t make
the same mistakes.

An Open Letter to Norton Mc
Duffie, ’53.
Dear Mister McDuffie:
So you’re discontented with
A&M and don’t like thifc setup here?
Well, we are certainly glad that
you have decided what is wrong
and have so capably suggested the
remedy. It’s marvelous that you
have become so well versed in the
functioning of this college, its
faults, and the solution^ to these
faults in the four months that
you have been J here. However, we
think that anybody that has been
here considerably longer would not
suggest such a radical change as
is involved in your suggestion.
We realize that A&M has been
here only a short time (since
1876, incidentally), but it has ex
panded and become renown Simply
because it is a strictly masculine,
strictly military school. And much
to your disappointment, it is go
ing to stay that way. You didn’t
come to an unknown place when
you came here. Evop so, it is not
difficult to conform.
There’s many other colleges with
Petroleum departments and they all
have girls; in fact, they’re lousy
with them. And we’re sure that
you could find one that could
“resurrect your fallen spirit” and
give you that “necessary, day by
day, slow' growing, everlasting
friendship, which is the only type
which makes for a happy married
life." You won’t find her hero!
Although it may not have been
your object to. disagree with the
present system, but only to sug
gest a change, in doing so, you
have belittled a thing Aggies hold
you would discover that Aggies are
the best friends you have.
Yes, your assumption is correct;
a greater majority of Aggies than
even you can assume will someday
marry and, with all probability, en
joy a well rojinded, happy family
life just as the thousands of exes
before them. And amazing as it
may seem there will be no crip
pling complexes to alter their
civic and social life. They'll be
good citizens, not oqe-sided and i
biased as you so boldly put it. And. |
more than likely, their sons will; I
be Aggies.
You damn right, A&M is a great
educational system.. You think its
facilities should not be denied pie
girls of the state and that they j
should have excess to our school,
our traditions and the atmosphere j
that has surrounded them so lohg. j
We don’t think that way. Neither j
do the thousands of high school |
and grammar school ' boys who
dream of coming to A&M someday.
It would be more than a tragwly j
to take that dream away from
them and the one afterward. With
co-education, A&M would die. \
In closing, we ^can reasonably
assume that it is the corps and the
spirit and not the feminine element
itself that is most discomforting j
to you. Evidently you don’t have
much regard for the Aggie uniform
—or much desire.
