Welcome TISA Delegates...
From the City Desk
Will Senate Rule
Obligate Bryan?
By Joel Austin

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.

New Ethics
W/ASHINGTON’S new set of ethics is get-

predict where the investigation will end or
what it will reveal.
If such extensions could not be furnished by the City of
Bryan within two years, under this bill each person in the
newly annexed sections could file suit against the city of
Bryan for not complying with the annexation requirements.
In a meeting of the Senate State Affairs Committee
Wednesday, representatives from several large cities and
smaller cities such as Pasadena, San Angelo, Temple, Austin,
and Texas City were strongly opposed to the measure which
would prevent them from continuing their present annexa
tion programs.
Included in the hearing before the senate committee was
