Homage Where Homage Due I^ROM THE TIME history started there is a record of man * trying to understand and pay homage to the supreme creative force behind the universal operation. As time pro gressed these attempts to understand and pay homage solid ified we had a divergence of opinion. While these details form the backbone of the differences between the religions of the world there is an amazing amount of similarity. All of the religions of the world agree there is one creative force greater than any man who was responsible for the establishment and continuance of this world. Here on the campus of A&M, a need is realized of paying homage to this creative force which we call God. At the same time it is felt there is a need for discussing some of the things which are caused by God. For one week—one fifty-second of a year—we are try ing to carry out the general theme of Godly understanding. The success of the program depends on the interest shown in Movietime ‘Racket’ Lives Up to Name; Takes Movie Patron’s Time rttoFM Noted Speakers Here for RE Week the program.

K. O. “The Racket”, now eroding the Palace Theatre’s movie projector, lives up to its name exceedingly well by robbing the movie patron of two hours of his valuable time. Riding on the success of the recent Senate Crime Committee “The Racket” infiltrates into local movie houses throughout the coun try with such misleading campaign slogans as, “It starts where the Kefauver Committee left off.” Begins Operations Once is becomes intrenched it starts it’s nefarious operations of the theatre’s screen by first using such names as Robert Mitchum, Task Force Smashes Reds In Korea Seoul, Korea, Feb. 18—UP) A strong United Nations tank- infantry task force smashed deep into the old “Iron Trian gle” on the Central Korean front today then wthdrew after pushing Chinese Reds off a high hill: Another U.N. raiding party re turned to its base last' night af ter breaking out of Communist en circlement east of the Pukhan Riv er, on the West Central front.
