i Battalion Editorials Page 2 FRIDAY, MARCH 16, 1951 Welcome TISA Delegates... From the City Desk Will Senate Rule Obligate Bryan? By Joel Austin 0 VER 250 student leaders from Texas col- est and participation in student govern leges and universities are on the campus today for the third annual TISA convention. Chances are excellent that from this group—delegates to the Texas Intercollegiate Student Association meeting — will come Texas’ leaders of tomorrow in many fields. The TISA is a young, ambitious organiza tion with a potential future as one of the state’s outstanding bodies—student or other wise. Organized only two years ago, TISA has grown in membership and in usefulness. Principal purposes of TISA are to pro mote vigorous (rather than passive) inter- What Now? Is Korea Question ITHE KOREAN WAR is rapidly reaching the point where we may reasonably ask— what now ? General Ridgway has turned the tide, and the seven U. S. divisions hold the most powerful defensive positions since the old Pusan perimeter. A stalemate would be a victory if we define victory as lack of de feat. Have the U. N. forces raised the ante so high that Korea is no longer worthwhile to the modern version of Ghengis Khan? If this is the case, the wheels of diplomacy should be set in motion by Mao Tse-tung. If this is not the case, time will make in decision or future attempts to overrun the peninsula even more expensive. We must, however, concede that the U. N. Forces can still be defeated by a vastly superior force. Such a course would undoubtedly bring a quick end to the Yalu River sanctuary, and this in turn would bring the methodical de struction of all Manchuria’s war potential. An over act of war is another distinct possibility, but again time is acting in our favor. Today’s plans are tomorrow’s armies. If Communist leaders wait much longer, the initiative will be out of their hands, and world-wide fear will give way to confidence based on strength. While we don’t know the overall Com munist plans, we can safely say that Gen eral MacArthur’s wise move in putting Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway in command in Korea was not included in their plans. tighter rules on consumer buying, to battle inflation.
