Ridgway Stand
Firm on Fight
For Talks Site
Tokyo, Tuesday, Oct. 16
(yP) — Gen. Ridgway today
said the United Nations is
standing firm on its demand
for a cease-fire line along the
Korean battle line.
And despite efforts to resume
truce talks once again, the su
preme Allied commander promised
that United Nations forces would
continue their' offensive in Koi’ea.
Their goal: to take as much ground
as possible.
“Within our capability we want
ground that we can defend,” Ridg
way said at one of his rare news
conferences. He added:
“In principle, we want a cease
fire line more or less along the
present battle line.
“The purpose of the Eighth Ar
my is still to repel aggression.”
The location of a cease-fire line
is the issue that snagged Korean
truce talks for weeks before the
Reds broke them off Aug. 23.
The Allies have won several hun
dred square miles of Red Korean
territory since the Reds suspended
the Armistice talks.
The Communists had insisted on
a cease-fire line along 38.
Ridgway also promised that the
Allied correspondents would be
given more news of what goes on
at truce talks.
Ridgway’s comments were made
as Allied and Red liaison officers
in Koi’ea were conferring for the
fifth straight day at Panmunjom
on the problem of restarting’ the
truce talks.
Both sides have agreed on Pan
munjom, six miles east of the old
conference city of Kaesong, as the
new truce talk site.
and as Division manager in the
company’s Western Oklahoma Div
ision and West Texas Division.
In Utzman’s capacity as commer
cial superintendent he will have
charge of the company’s commer
cial operations throughout the com
pany’s properties in Texas, Okla
homa, Arkansas, and Louisiana.
Utzman is a member of the Bry
an Chamber of Commerce, board
of directors of the Bryan-College
Station Rotary Club, board of di-
dectory for the YMCA, and board
of directors of the Knife and Fork
Club. Both he and Mrs. Utzman are
members of the First Baptist
Church of Bryan.
North Texas Transfer
Brennan, who is being transfer
red from the company’s North Tex
as Division with headquarters in
Irving, has been connected with
The Southwestern States Telephone
company for a short time. How
ever, Brennan has been in the
telephone business for 28 years.
The new division manager is a
native of South Bend, Ind. and was
educated in Notre Dame Univer
sity. He received an AB in Indus
trial Safety Engineering at Vir
ginia Military Institute, and is a
graduate of Automatic Electric
Company School of Dial Equipment
at Chicago.
During his long association in
the telephone business, Brennan
has been employed with the AT&T
Company, Long Lines Department
for 7 years, and 13 years with the
Telephone Service Company of
Ohio. He was associated with the
Lexington Telephone Company at

for activities, is automatically the
secretary of the committee without
a vote.
“Pass’ Or Pass On
Action taken by the committee
can either be final at the committee
level or can be referred to the
president of the college for final
action, White said. Each case is
decided individually.
Being a committee of the Aca
demic Council, this group, White
said, is responsible for the editoi’s
of student publications, the enter
tainment manager, yell leaders and
the Office of Student Activities.
Organizationally speaking the
Student Life Committee is over
the Student Senate; however by
precident, the group has not taken
this perogative.
After this explanation of duties
the committee discussed the advis
ability of droping the Aggie Ac
tivity Appreciation Tickets and the
European tour funds. These agenda
items were shelved for further
study.
The question of dropping the two
items might be necessitated by a
lack of funds White said. A group
of the committeemen are investi
gating the situation and will de
cide on it at the next meeting.
Committeemen
Student members of the commit

Blair Cherry Tells Why He
Quit Coaching in M agazine
New York, Oct. 16—(A 3 ) — Ex
cessive pressure of big’-time college
football plus poor health and an
attractive offer to get into the oil
business brought about the resig
nation of Blair Cherry as head
coach of the University of Texad
last year.
His story, ‘Why I Quit Coach
ing,” is published in the current
issue of the Saturday Evening Post
and tells why Cherry thinks unrea
soning football fans, alumni and
sports writers as well as sofe ed
ucators are harming the game.
“Football coaching nowadays
is an around-the-clock, around-
the-calendar business,” Cherry
said. “While much is made of
the fact that most coaches are
paid more than most history
teachers, the financial reward in
itself is insufficient attraction
when the hazards are considered.
“Yoq never heard of a history
teacher, even in the South, getting
fired because Lee didn’t win at
Appomattox,”
Cherry said persons who claim
“overemphasis on winning” is
causing the game to go bad are
incorrect.
“What’s wrong with wanting to
win?”
“Overemphasis on victory at any
cost—that’s closer, but still not
quite it,” he said.
“Actually, what football coaches
hope for, rather forlornly, is a bet
ter informed public that — either
on its own initiative or through the
guidance of capable observers —
will establish a more accurate set
of values.”
He s a i d whatever way it
should be phrased, “the pressure
for winning teams creates ter
rific competition for material. If
a coach is to be judged Solely on
his won-and-lost record, he has
to try to protect himself by ac
cumulating the players who can
make him a great coach. . . .
It has become as much of a
problem to land a star athlete
as to elect a congressman, you
have to devote more time to re
cruiting than coaching.
“. . . The endless necessity of
getting along with the alumni, who
are interested in but usually not
qualified to judge football beef on
the hoof, is one of the heaviest of
all coaching burdens. . . . The
head coach of a modern college is
essentially a lonely figure. He
knows most of his friends are with
Truman Asks Soviet Russia
To Agree on Disarmament
Winston-Salem, N.C., Oct. 16 —
(A 1 )—President Truman pointedly
called upon Soviet Russia yester
day to agree upon disarmament
terms which would “free the world

He again offered to “sit down

another world war” and provide
the basis for “a durable peace.”

Cherry said newspapers criti

the Texas coach—followed that
defeat. All the pent-up resent

released by irate alumni who
