Battalion Editorials Page 2 THE BATTALION THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1952 Texans Favor Ike 10 to 1, According To Shivers’ Mail A&M Greets Freshmen In Traditional Form IT’S NOT THE MOST beautiful campus; the walls are not splashed with clinging ivy; the girls are few and usually married; but this is a college. Most of the walls are red brick; the green grass will be found in front of the Memorial Student Center, the administration buildings, and Kyle Field; and you’ll soon get the germ of waiting at the Postoffice for the letter from the girl. This is Texas A&M College. We join the administration and faculty in welcoming you freshmen to a campus, long famous for its learned men and traditions. Here you will find a place. Creeds, religions, pasts are forgotten once you enter one of A&M’s four gates. They are named, as you readily will learjt, for the four directions—North, South, East, and West, all directions in which you can traverse and find an Aggie. You’ll be proud. First, we’ll tell you, then you find out for yourself. Some of it’s good, a little bad, but most of the good will stick. Homesickness will be around a while, but it’ll leave. New friends will be made with every handshake. As days pass, you’ll blame the administration, sophomores, and faculty everytime something goes wrong, but later realize it was an error of your own. But that’s to come later. Now, we just want to say “Howdy.” This will be your home. It’s what you make it. v Welcome Professor T^WO SHOCKS will be experienced tomor- row. First will be the freshmen trodding on a strange campus eager to make the right move. Second will be the new faculty members also hoping to move in the right direction. We might add a third. Returning fac ulty members, rested, refreshed, knowing once again that through the year’s A&M freshmen are much alike. A welcome to both faculty groups, and may the shocks of all groups lessen the un avoidable confusion. National Politics On The Move Ike, Adlai’s Campaigns By Associated Press Gen. Dwig-ht D. Eisenhower!, jubilant over his triumphant sweep thi'ough Dixie, formally opens his presidential campaign in Philadel phia tonight with an address out lining his views on foreign policy. The Republican presidential nominee is expected to plunge headon into this major campaign issue by sharply criticizing the Truman administration’s conduct of foreign affairs. The general returned to New York last night from a two-day, six-speech drive through the Solid South—first ever made by a GOP presidential candidate—that drew about :30(),000 persons in Atlanta, Jacksonville, Miami, Tampa, Bir mingham and Little Rock. Shivers Ponders Drought Aid Delay Austin, Sept. 4—(A 5 ).—Gov. Allan Shivers yesterday wanted to know why the delay in Washington in granting Federal aid for drought- hit Texas. He wired Raymond M. Foley, administrator of the Housing and Home Finance Agency: “Drought still going on in Texas. What is delay in making assist ance available under Public Law 875 ? Request that this matter be expedited.” Horticulture Plant To Open This Fall Students enrolling in horticul ture courses this fall will be the first to attend class in the new $60,000 horticulture plant, said Fred R. Brison, professor of hor ticulture. The plant includes- a green house, a class room, and living quarters for student labor, he ex plained. Facilities include a hot bed, a steam sterilizer, a cold storage vault, and a soil bin. The new plant is located north of the old dairy fax*m, just across from the College Station railroad depot. Aides conceded publicly the en thusiastic Southern reaction ex ceeded their “fondest expecta tions.” Privately, the Eisenhower camp was elated. One of the general’s top advisers predicted a November split in the traditionally Democratic South. Eisenhower himself gained con fidence, and, some said, developed a brand-new fighting personality. From Philadelphia, the general will push on to Chicago tomorrow, and then on Saturday to Kasson, Minn., where his path will cross that of the Democratic presidential candidate, Gov. Adlai Stevenson of Illinois. Both will speak in Kasson Sat urday. Stevenson In Illinois Stevenson today was in his Springfield, 111. headquarters, put ting the finishing touches on speeches he will deliver on a West ern campaign beginning tomorrow in Denver. Meanwhile, there were reports that Stevenson’s supporters were ti’ying to drive a wedge between Eisenhower and Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio in ox’der to split GOP I'anks. Some said the Democx'ats may get a “major bx’eak” in Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin and Iowa as a x'esult of the advice by Col. Robert R. McCox'mick, editor and publish er of the Chicago Tribune, to Re publicans to ignox*e both pax'ty can didates and concentrate on a third pax-ty for 1956. Nixnn Speaks Sen. Richax’d M.

He scheduled an aftex*- noon news confex’ence, to be fol lowed by another speech befox-e a special Republican convention to night. He x’etux-ns to Main tomox’- row.

Sparkman of Ala bama, the Democratic vice px'esi dential candidate, heads for New' Mexico on the second leg of his Westexm tour. Sen. Joseph McCarthy, R-Wis., opened his own campaign for re nomination last night in suburban Milwaukee with a scathing blast at Stevenson. McCarthy Campaigns McCarthy’s major opponent in the Sept. 9 primary is Leonard Schmitt, an attorney. The incum bent senator said in his speech— broadcast over 31 radio stations— that “I need your votes next Tues day—I need them badly.” In addition to attacking Steven son, McCarthy blasted at commxx- nism in government and the State Department. Republican Sen. William Langer of Nox'th Dakota, seeking re-elec tion, told the AFL National Asso ciation of Letter Cax-riers in New York that Truman is a gx'eat statesman 'who “couldn’t be bx-ibed, couldn’t be boxight, and couldn’t be bullied.” Langer often votes with the Democx-ats in the Senate.

Allan Shivei's 10- to-one they approve his stand against Democxatic Presidential Nominee Adlai Stevenson. Shivers’ office yesterday said he has x'eceived 6,065 letters and tele grams generally backing him, and 603 saying they are for the Dem ocratic px'esidential nominee. Tabulators in the govei'nor’s of fice said actually the simplified divisioxx represented those who say they are going to vote for Dwight D. Eisenhowex - , counted as pro- Shivers; and those who say flatly they are going to vote for Steven son, as anti-Shivers. Shivei's, however, has never flat ly said he was going to vote for Eisenhowex'. He has said that he pex-sonally can not vote for Steven son. Mail Still Coming As huge volumes of mail con tinued to roll into the governor’s office in response to his pleas for Texans to express themselves, there were these political develop ments: Harrison County Democi'ats held what was called a “special cau cus” at Mai-shall and insti'ucted their state delegates to vote for Eisenhower and his x'unning mate, Richax'd Nixon, as the nominees of the Democx'atic Pax’ty of Texas. The state convention which will decide what the official pax'ty in Texas will do about instioicting its electors will be held in Amaiillo Tuesday. Demos Rally Backers of the Stevenson-Spaxk- man national ticket wex'e beating the drums for a rally tomorrow night at Corsicana, where former State Atty.-Gen. William McCraw will be the px'incipal speaker. One of the sponsors of the x-ally is John C. Calhoun, former chairman of the state Democx'atic Executive Committee. At Dallas, GOP State Chairman Alvin Lane said if Texas Demo crats px-opose a coalition set of px'esidential electors for Eisenhow ex', he was sux-e the Republicans would be glad to consider it. The count of mail in the gover nor’s office does not include around 1,000 lettei’s that tabulatox's have not had time to get ax-ound to. The lettex'S x'epx*esent dozens of shades of opinions. The govex'nor himself has not yet analyzed them. He pi'obably will on his retux'n to his office tomoxu'ow. REDUCE INSURANCE COSTS through DIVIDENDS RETURNED TO POLICYHOLDERS. CALL US. U. M.
