Hanif Dean-In Kfftgv
Datetined Station, the Vad

at the Anne* last Saturday afternoon
where at udenAa-found a llfe-aized fifiire of
William 0. (Breezyl Breaaeale aasiatant
daan of at A&M and dean of stu-
deota at |f»e Annex hanging on a lightpale
.The ‘'haftg^g ’ was the lateet m a ae-
rtea of tnekient* which began last month
when a veAei^a student at the Annex
wrote a letter t<> Thw Battalion whrh said
he had encountered 'at least fifty fresh
men out here St the Annex and not one of
them could quote me the words to the frst
line (of the Aggie War Hymni."
The night hi* letter was published.
April 17, the students at the Annex
marched in reasonably orderly fash-
iog to the author‘ft barracks where veter-
a«* and rorpsmen sang him the War
Hymn He ai>peared before the group
and feebly attempted to sing the War
Hymn back to them
During this demonstration, signs of
disorder developed and the tactical officer
qn duty ordered the bend to return to the
cadet area Nearly ail of the freshmen
followed the band, but several students
grabbed the author and. in the ensuring
scuffle, he was rolled in a near-by muddy
ditch
Wet and cold, the freshman veteran
who wrote the letter was brought to the
college hospital whore he apoat the night.
He is a United Stated Navy veteran at
tending school under Fart VII of the GI

Among hts barrackdmatm there were
two men who were partly raaixmaible for
much permaal humiliation over a period
of several days. Theae two men were giv
en dUK ip|marY 11 ballon for their irre
sponsible conduct and failure to r«i|wvt
the rights of a fellow student. They have
been required to move from college hous
ing

That ii the story we have gathered
from eonvrrsaUon* with freebmen i sdets
and veterans hvtng at the Annex That
W the story we have gamed from checking
With college officials
k Joumalidm, when it seeks to viciously
distort facta until they apfiear entirely
out of pefepactive. dips below the ethics
of Rs profession and assumes the grotes
que garmdnta of outright lien.

Smathers of Florida has flung a stmging
* rebuke at the OOP The CiOP claimed hia
f victory over Fair Dealing Senator Claude
‘ Pepper “a tireod toward Republican lam."
Telegramed Smathers to Republican
Natiuiial Chairman Guy Gabneiaon
‘‘Neither candidate w thia primary cam
psugned in favor of the obetructiomsm or
t^e sniping at the hipartisaa foreign pol

“My o|»ponent and ! differed as to our
mtertiretqtion of certain basic and fun-
damentaf pnm iplet uf the l>enuxTatic
Party The people of Farida ai this elec
tion f*rov«d they were unwilling to de
part from the well eatablwhed and basic
principle* of the Democratic Party.

“They do not wish to venture off down
the side roads of extremism or dangerous
expenmeitation, nor are they interested
in turning the ckick bwck to isolationism
and the do-nothmg attitude of th» Repub
Iicsn Party."
App<*neatly the COP was talking from

In thus era when traditions — local,
state, national are falling by the way
side. we read of another crowning blow
struck at another great Amemuir tradi
tion. Heretofore the vice oremdent of the
United Stwtes has been a sort of official
cowgratulator and queen-ktnner
Veep Barkley served weH in that caj>-
acUy until hw marriage last year Since
then hi* kissing ha* been supervised by
•Mr* Veep ”
Commented our vice president on
qurcn-kiMKing: “It seems to bi 1 an un
broken rule that any man who crowns a
queen is ewpected to kiss her It is, of
course not a rule that any real heroic
or romantic man would seek to avoid,
and I have complied with that rule in
every ca#e without pretest on my part
"Since 1 have been married my charm
ing grac»ou» ami liberal-minded wiie has
n’t complained either- but she ha* been
on hand when it hi|>pened to wk that it
dtdn t go too far,”
It makes you won ler about things times ymiVe ha<l to justifv a nmilc to
when you stop to think of how many yourself gad to other people
