With them are Chief Justice and Mrs. Vinson and sev eral governmental officials. As the presidential party sits down to its holiday feast, the rest of the world anxiously watches de velopments that may mean peace or war for this country. In Pan- munjom, American officers have promised an answer to the latest Communist counter-proposal for a cease fire in the Korean War. There was cautious optimism that both sides are coming closer to gether on the first of several dif ficult problems to be solved before the guns are stilled. In Rome and Paris, European and American political and mili tary leaders meet in efforts to speed up the rearmament pro grams of the various free nations. As one group works for rearma ment, the UN seeks to find a com mon meeting ground between West and East on a disarmament pro gram. Editor Changes (Continued from Page 1) editor and managing editor only. Selleck is a senior journalism major from San Benito. Davis City Editor Frank Davis was appointed City Editor. At the first of the year he was given this job as a tem porary job. The appointment by Whitmore during this reorganiza tion makes the job permanent. The City Editor is a senior jour nalism from Bryan. He has worked on the paper for two years in the capacity of staff writer. Top contributor of local merchants toward the College Station Community Chest Fund, Joe Sos- olik, owner of the Aggieland Studio, presents a check for $78 to Chest secretary-treasurer Johnny Longley. Deadline for contributions to be in for the Community Chest has been extended to Dec. 1 in order to meet a $2,500 deficit to the $10,000 goal. Responsible For Socialism? (Continued from Page 1) “Who is responsible for the so cialistic trend in the United States,” was another question di rected to the panel. Lyon replied the trend was based on votes of the people, which were influenced by the fact that more people now work for the govern ment. Fat Man Starves Daily disagreed slightly with Lyon on the same question, em phasizing that during the 1930’s a man would do almost anything to better himself. Socialism, how ever, can be compared to a fat man starving to death, he added. E. F. Graham, vice president of the Southwestern Gas and Electric Company entered the discussion to say that socialism appealed to the voters because it seemed like a way of getting something for nothing. Ten questions had been asked the panel, when Boddie said the formal meeting was scheduled to last only an hour. At this point the meeting was adjourned. The businessmen remained another 30 minutes answering additional questions. The tidelands issue, government taxation, and socialism in the Unit ed States and Great Britain were some other topics discussed. Student participation in the dis cussion was evidenced when Dan Davis, a senior business adminis tration student, shocked the panel with facts he had gathered about British socialism while touring the country last summer. Davis calmly told the panel, which had ridden British socialism, during previous discussions, that the present nationalization of cer tain industries in Britain had in creased their output over prewar totals. No Comment Dailey pleaded that he lacked figures, Lyon said he had never been to Britain, and Graham did not comment. The panel which plans to tour colleges and universities through out Texas was brought to A&M under the auspices of the Business and Accounting Society.
