eeUefe'e year-long celebration
The former Supreme Commander of
the Allied Ukpeditionarv Force Imat visited
the college in April of 1945. when he spoke
at the Ifuater Day ceremonies that year.
At that time, he was s military man. To
day he is an educator, although he still
claims to be “in the Army -

Should toda/s present world cnew be

ly interesting to hear the General epeak
Should another “Ike-for-Preektont' boom
begin, aa it did shortly before the 1948
presidential campaign it will be even more
interesting to listen to the former Chief

Our congratulations go out to the Dia

success in all your endeavors for making
the 75th year truly a big one."
The Kffwtivcne* of \our Vote
W« have often wondered Which element
of the 81st Congress was mort vitally con
cerned with the welfare of the nation and
democratic pnnctfdes than the other. Now
we have s fair idea
The House at Representatives Monday
killed any holies of initiating, at least in
this season, s pro{>oeed twenty-second
amendment to the Constitution which
would have abolished the Ekrtona! Col-
lege
The Senate had previously f4*iHxl the
reeolution. only to see it meet a crushing
House defeat, almost 2 to 1. Momentarily,
at least. We have more faith in the Senate
than in lt« brother law making body.
Our present syatem of electing the
president sad vice-|*resident has been vir
tually unchang ed since its ineipieacy.
Around IHOfl when the twelfth amend
ment was passed by the states, there was
good reason for the electoral system
* One of the principal reason* for
system was the lack
mi “
United States shnply weren’t well enough
informed to be able to vote wisely fqr the
country’* foremost leader* That problem
Uo many others which then faced our
government, has been removed
To Save Liies or to Saie Dollars? . . .
Today the people of the nation are
probably the meet well-informed group in
the world concerning its political leaders
Newspapers radios, and other mean* of
oommumcatioa long ago heked the initial
problem
Monday’s House vote was largely back
ed by Republicans, although added Demo
cratic -support actually killed the biU. the
I/odge-Goeaett proposal The latter is Ed
Goeeett, Texas cuagrsasman from Wichita
Falls.
Republican House leader Joseph W
Martin Jr of Massachusetts dauned that,
under the proposed amendment, his party
would never be able to elect a president
Such a clear case of Washington baloaey
we have not heard of in ages
The people of the United States should
be allowed to vote directly for president
and ) vice-president True the election
would become a Batirmal affair
We ask you. Mr Martin Were you
running for preeidrnt of the United States
heaven forbid it if you would not ration
do no# — baft
you rather have the satisfaction of know
ing that the majority of the nation's pop-
ulus had backed you. or that enough of
each state had done so to earn for you the
majority of electoral ballots’
Korea m attracting a great deal of at
tention. but there are other potential
trouble s^ds which could be next on Ktts-
aia a coiujueet list
The oil rich Middle East, the Balkan
countries, and the North Atlaetir area
are m ne4d of immediate arms aid from
the United State* In countries where it
would be inadvisable to arm the native
troope. a highly mobile A merman force
should be available for immediate occupa
tion.
Presklent Truman has aksed 10 billion
dollars to be used to halt the Reds. Rus
sia has no national debt firoblrm since
army supplies can be 'planned' along
with other civilian goods From a geopol
itical standpoint, we are also at a disad
vantage m that Russia controls more land.
man|MWver. and sources of raw matartals
In view of these fact* every' effort should
be made to Contain Communist aggression
Senator Lmdon B Johnson a member
of the Senate armed servica» committee,
said in a recent radio address that the
time has come to prepare for the worst
and pray for the best.’* Senator Johnson
has always held that preparedness was
leas expensive than unprtparedness
Democracy aa a system has many ad
vantages. but admmietrativt- inertia, or
the time required for decisive actum seems
to be s more critical factor than ever be
fore. Men who can reeeon with very little
error are usually ignored or court mar
tialed. and many American* must die in
order to buy tuna for frantic preparation.
Russia has shown conclusively that con
flict is inevitable n view of the aggres
sive policies of the present dictatorial re
gime
We as a nation can neither remain
complacent, or chaag* the age-old pat
tern of saving dollars and speeding lives.
There is a very little uncertainty about
our fnturs relations with So Viet Russia
only one system can survive.
