Weatherman and Extra Inning . ...
Chalk up another game for the weath-
man He pitched ft bang-up aet of tn-
aiag* over the weekend. Rrom the Pan-
handie to the Gulf Coaet he drenched the
Uone Star State with the meet magnifkant
downpour of the year.* He couldn't wait
•ntil Monday to begin. He had to atart
before the weekend, continue through it
and then go into extra inning* Thouaanda
of graduating college atudenta were uaher-
ed into the world wet to the skm becauae
of hia playful attitude .
Here at College Station he did a par-
tkularly good job Bucketa \i\xm bucket*
qf water were hurled into every nook and
cranny of our institution Many a apnng
drew and hat, carted to the campus by
loving mother* Meter* and datea, were re
turned homo wringing wet. Many a pair
of buota. all mud -pattered and damp,
were transferred from one cadet to an
other.

Maybe we haven’t been Uvmg right
here at AAM. Poaaibly we just don’t rate
regardleaa of how we live. But we have
at least (*ie satisfaction in spite of the

his well pitched game, many a man round

The 'Middle Man* in ^duration
A committee of America’s top educa
tors has jus completed a report which
deals with the educational op{*ortunities
available to young people of this country.
The Educational Policies Commission com
mittee which made the rejHirt it headed by
President James Bryaftit Conant of Har
vard According to its findings the tal-
? enta of more than half of America’s gifted
young men are going to waste
In calling for the “expenditure of pub-
" lif funds ’ to provide needed education to
.qualified students, the committee said,
“Bcholarship aid to needy high school stu
dents is highly desirable but almost non
existent ’
We agree that something should be
done to provide adequate educational op
portunity* for all qualified youths. For
thoae young jteofJe who are exceptionally
gifted, financial aid is highly desirable for
we cannot afford to allow their talents to
go undeveloped However, we would pre
fer to see the funds for this aid come from
private sources rather than from the gov
ernment
Here at A&M we have btilt a swssas
ful acholarahip program. Through the ef
fort* of the Former Students Association
and the friends of the college, many stu-

Genewd J I^wton CoJtons’ statement
Sunday that “Everything we Uhe US.
Armed Forces! are endeavoring to do,
that we should endeavor to do. is to hold
Western Europe rattier ftian lose it” is
of great significance. The army chief of
•taffynade it in conjunction with a talk m
which he aaid it would not be {xwisible for
Boyiet armies to overrun Western Europe
before effective. U S. aki reached the bat-
tWldld
One conclusion which may be drawn
from Cottms talk is that a major shift in
the world military balance ha* taken place.
* hfo Umger, if Cotiin* is correct, will the
huge freight of numbers controlled by
Rusaia be a determining factor in any
stand we might be forced to take in West
ern Europe. The Soviets, who can muster
500 divisions, have, up to this time, been
counted upon to be able to roll over Eur
ope with little trouble. Perhaps they still

lege eductaion which they might otherwise
have misaed. All the money for this has
come from individuals or commercial
Anna. There are flo strings attached.
Men accepting the scholarships are asked
only to conaider returning the money in
the form of another scholarship when and
if they are ever financially able to do so.
If they never replace the money they have
been given they need not worry about it.
We w< >uld hke to see other schools fol
low the example set by our former stu
dents Many schools alreudy have, but
many many more have not. Perhaps if
they would recognize the value of such fi
nancial help to deserving students and or
ganise a drive for funds they. too. could
share m the pnde which is ours because of
our program
Too many individuals and institutions
are turning to the federal government for
financial support in one or another tyi«e t>f
undertaking Such a trend is not healthy
It robs them of initiative This problem
is one concerning all of ua. But why do
we not solve it among ourselves ipstead of
turning to Unde Sam'’ The money mil

well to cut out the middle man He * in
too much of our business already

ued, "because there is a limit to his indus
trial capacity and his research and devel
opment. We think >ve can and are keep
ing ahead of him."
Colima further suggested that more
reliance should be placed on these new
weapona than on a mass armament com
parison It would be a mistake, he said, if
we would attempt to match the enemy
tank for tank or airplane for airplane or
ship for ship. Relatively inexpensive equip
ment "that can destroy any tank and also
equipment that can shoot down any air
craft’’ should be provided Western Eu
ropean forces to meet the Soviet threat, he
said
These statement* are encouraging Not
only do they relieve concern over the rela
tive strength of our s and Russia's forces
but they show that we are not expected to
pour all our money into an economically
ruinous armament program
They are evidence of the soundness of
our present abroach to defense and of the
value of atnet but sensible economic lim
