And a child is as sensitive to this ' feeling as a grownup. My goddaughter^'lOna, felt that way the other mbrning as she watchedj the first home of her life—sHas only two-and-a-half years did—come apart under her eyes. I|"~was' the day she was to sail for Italy with her parents, George land Helen Palmer, a young newspaper couple. Nina was^tol^ weeks ago of the trip. To her Italy was just a name that meant somewhere. But she was excited. She grew even more excited, as* the household belongings were ' packed. - j-- ,• . ” ; t J But by sailing day her enthusi asm had waned. There was a look ~ of finality about the apartment’ she ' didn’t' like—the boxed books,/the halls bare pf pictures, the toys |put away. It disturbed her. When the man came to carry away the last trunk in the'living room, Nina tried to stop him by sit- • ting on it. Nina sit here," she pleaded j She was, very thoughtful on the T Wilkins Tells How Vets Raise Academic Goals "I believe that the veterans have certainly raised the ackilemic standard of the,college," paid Tay lor Wilkin*, veterans advisor for the oolleg#. . ^ "The ve|erans haw taken active pari In student government while ntiA&M. Their relation with the cadet corps has been good In the past. Even though most of the vets are tt tittle more mature and Advanced In age,.than the ordinary cadet, they have always striven for oqual representation of the student bipdy in all the governing affairs," Ije said. According to Wilkins’ figures, ■ there were 65 veterans enrolled at A&M In the fall of 1944. The peak ., of vet enrollment at A&M was reached in the fpll of 1946 with 6,281 ex-G.I.’s. At present there are 3,021, vets in school. About 10 per cent of this number of vets are disabled in one way or another and are at tending school under Part 7, Pub lic Law 16. i This samester ban been the first.time since the spring of 1946 that Vets have been outnumbered by the cadet /corps- Of course a • portion of the cadet corps now ' consists of veteran outfits, Wilkins | added. Out of the 3,021 vets enrolled at present, there are approximately ' 1,300 married. Wilkins stated that about 80 veterans have been dropped off the , schodl enrollment. Reasons for drops were sickness, accepting jobs, low grades, and financial ■ troubles. 1 A drop in vet enrollment in the succeeding semester can be ex- ' heqted but there will be some vets here until July 25, ,.1956, when the GXjBifl terminates, Wilkins r concluded!. '. 7: Approximately 350 Vets are jdieduled to graduate at the end *f this semester.

There was a small ben voyage party in the Palmer's stateroom, but Nina didn’t take part: in it. She wandered about, uneasily inspecting her new surroundings. Then she demanded sternly: “Where big boat? Show Nina big boat.” - v Everyone laughetk She) didn’t realize that she wa* already on the big boat. So I wrapped : her up warm in a pet blanket .she calls “Lpbby,” and carried out <*n deck.

As each member of the party left, saying goodbye, Nina grew more and more restless. Frances and I were the last to go. NTina gave us each a kiss-peck on the cheek. Then she made up her mind the whole deal was off. Nina’s face puckered in tears: “No wanna go Hitalee! No want big boat! Nina wanna go home! Take .Nina home!” / And suddenly all of us were cry ing together, crying for the lost fun in the home behind. Hitalee might be wonderful, but the home behind—for Nina the only home she had known—had been wonderful, too. jj 1 ■ •’ i Page 4 THE BATT7ULI0! 7' 13. 1930 on In Coming Election ie-" cide in elections Feb. 23 whether they want to keep on the road to Socialism or return to Winston Churchill’s brand of free fnter- prise. Laborite Prime Minister Clement Attlee ended months of guessing Wednesday by announcing the elec tion date. i Politicians on all sides immedi ately got set for one of the. most crucial election campaigns in Brit ain’s history. Both the ruling labor party and its major opponent, Churchill’s Conservative Party, ex pressed confidence in victory. The prime issue is whether the laborites will get a mandate to continue the program of state con trol and nationalization of industry it has carried out for nearly five years, or whether the conserva tives will be empowered to spike the socialist trend. Neither party has promised that Britain’s postwar austerity pro- 1.

Churchill, the Wartime premier who doubtless would lead the na tion again If the conservatives win, has promised,!however, to re peal the steel nationalization bill and to permit state ownership to go no further. His hope is to turn Britain back toward private enterprise. State ownership of coal mines and railroads, for instance, is not expected to) be affected by a possible conservative victory. British voters will choose a new House of Commonjs of 625 mem bers. The party rejeeiving the ma jority of seats I normally would form the next govjernment.
