There are two ways to approach one of the hot subjects being kickted around in Congress during ifs current session. This hot subject’is legislation already in itialed and cleared through the House of Representatives on the grahting jof state hood to Alaska and also to Hawaii. The first question to pop. into minds of people outside of Texas is “How will the new flag look if and when these territories are admitted to full statehood?" Will we have five rows of stars with ten stars in -each row, or If either Hawaii or Alaska fails tb make the grade, will our flag have seven rows of stars wth seven stars in a row? ■ 1. : Texans are naturally asking them selves "If Alaska 11 granted statehood what/will Texans do when they can no longer claim residence in the largest statu lit the United Stales?’’ \ . Thjjuiuw&onj posed by Texans On- doubtcdly 'influenced several Texas Con- oil ic for statehood re tibn. These Congressmen from Texas gressmen the Other day when Alaska came up in the House for statehood recoghi- s Ca Congress, but these delegates have had no voting right. Statehood would give the Congress two senators from eac i ! of the new states, and their proportionate share, of representatives to the Hbuse. Viewing the strategic positior of both the territories, ahd their populations which are predominately sympai hetic to this country, these territories ha\ e strong claims for statehpod. Opponents to state- hpod for Alaska and Hawaii ar pie that neither of these territories I raj actual parts of this country. They an) far re moved from the borders of jthfc United States as it is presently concejved, op ponents charge. j One Congressman from Ne^ York feared that if these territories Wore ad mitted, Texas ‘Would, consistent j with its annexation treaty break up into five states. This is possible, but whs; self re- s|)ecting Texan would favor splitting Texas into five equal states? The expanding frontiers of this coun try politically, economically, ant socially indicate that these territories b ting con sidered for statehood will soon be as American as Texas or Pennsylvania is to day. Granting statehood now would tend to increase and hasten their achii ving this and these names Drill not, without the other than tba editora.) NEW DEAL FOR EVERYBODY Editor, The Battalion: Down with the capitalistic aris tocracy which prevails on the A&M campus! STUDENTS ARISE, and root out this system which per mits want in the midst of plenty, failure surrounded by success. We of the Agonistic Party propose as a solutiion the following, called the Brunnan Plan, which will help in redistribution of the grade points. Each student will receive grade points in proportion to his need; each student will contribute grade 'Bible Verse All scripture is given by inapira- tlon of God, arid is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correc tion, for Instruction In righteous- ne»K( That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good workif. ? —Ill Timothy 8! lfl-17 ot Um writer, be dlvoiced to any jwrne points to ! the common pool accord ing to his ability to make them.

In this day of re valuation of the Mark, Sou, Franc, and Pound, the grade point should also be revalued, and four of the new be given the student for every three of the- old.
