On January 19 exactly five years ago the funeral of an individual on this cam pus made international news. Newspapers and radio news broadcasts carried an nouncements of her passing. Letters, tele grams, and flowers poured in from across the nation. This was not the death of some beloved statesman, famous general, or great benefactor. This was the death of a little 1)lack and white female mongrel who in her time had symbolized A&M to hun dreds of thousands of students, faculty members, former students, and admirers of the College. They called her Reveille. For more than a decade, she had been official mascot—long, happy years for A&M and Reveille. Her name was linked with a school that produced the number one football of the nation in 1939,"cham pionship teams in other sports, and well trained fighter^ and technicians for the war effort. ; During her ! long reign she had been dubbed Queen of Aggieland and named General in the K-9 Corps- divisfon of the Wags. . The first game of the 1931 football se wit m initiated her long acquaintenceship the studet t body and also evoked somewhat of a furor. When the green- serged band came on the field at halftime, Reveille came on too. In fact, Reveille came on first,, < apering along in- front of the drum majori acting under the obvious for her special contention that the show had been staged benefit. A roaring wildcat followed her exit from the field, andj from then bably will never be The Slum Blot'Can Be Removed on, it was merely a matter of time until she was to be adopted as mascot. ; Soon she had the run of the campus. She was always provided a specially re served double seat when she travelled on the train to corps tripd. And whep she chose to sleep iti a cadet's bed, he was left, according to tradition, with only twp pre- rogratives—to find another bunk |or to sleep on the floor. She was, truly a significant character in A&M’s past and more than anything else represented to everyone the true spirit of friendliness. The little dog’$ untimely death left a void that never has been filled 'and pro- Houstonians last Sunday read, or could read, a full-page statement in the news papers by W. L. Clayton, cotton buyer and national political figure on slum clear ance. Clayton’s remarks, first delivered to the Houston City Council, were in sup port of the city’s participation in the na tional drive to reduce slums in America’s . • '3 large cities. Reduction of slums would be accomplished by public sponsored, gov ernment financed low-rent housing. The stand of Clayton was in opposition of real estate interests’ attempts in that city tm block public slum clearance brand ing it “socialistic.” Said Clayton’s state ment, “If free enterprise would provide it (low cost housing) for these low income people* why hasn’t it been done? You’re told about the many houses that have boon built fn Houston. Why. haven't the people moved out of these hovels (cited earlier In his statement as places without inside plumbing); out of these breeding places of disease and Crime In our city? Why haven't they moved out of there Into these nice homes would provide for The only way T. that private enterprise them?” to gjet people qut of $100-a-monlh, Politics, and Bedfellows Politics sometimes produces strange bedfelloyCs. Right now ih Washington both labor and management interests are work ing together to push through Congress lexpanded social security legislation. Labor has been plugging broadened'coverage, of social security and higher payments for many years; management, until recently, has bucked these labor inspired efforts with signal success. ! w The turning point came not long ago .when the United Automobile Workers fCIO) wrangled $100-a-month ; pensions from auto manufacturers. This pension, paid by funds provided entirely by the companies, guaranteed workers upon reaching retirement age a monthly check of $100. The companies add to the social security payments Enough to complete the $100. _ 4 ' ' ■ { *, ■ f V •• 1. ■■ ' I ' - Leaders in those industries, as well as others who) see the $100-a-month pension demand hovering over them, figure that the higher; social security payments, the less they, as employers, will have to ante- U P- . . ^ | ■ | . With both labor and management self ishly shoving their lobby weight around in favor of expanded social security, there can be little doubt of its final passage in this session of Congress. Broadened and better planned and ad ministered social security is due in the United States. Our only wish is that its strongest supporters were not so selfishly interested. ■ j x ■ lL- .1 ■ L I lontribut The Battalion ' i fl "Soldier, Statesman, Knightly Gentleman?’ Lawrence Sullivan Ross, Founder of Aggie Traditions News contribution* may be made by telephone (4-5444) or at the editorial office.

Yet, he has not lost sight of the great public good that can be gain ed from federally sponsored elimination of slums and the undesirable and undemocra tic ideals that they breed. Disregarding the tag “HocialiHtic", we feel that public financed low-rent housing should bo accepted by Houston and other cities if i.he|y are unable to eliminate these slums themselves.
