; The men who planned this series Of
etiquette lectures decided there was no
reason why everyone in the college com
munity should not be able to take advan
tage of the course. With that thought in
mind, they selected their subjects care
fully and obtained the valuable help of
prominent local people who will deliver
the four “master” lectures and also help
plan the clothing show and the classroom
talks by cadets.

If Not the Biggest, Cjertainly the Best
l!
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

relieve a present crisis, a change

also be revalued, and four of the
