Applications for Danforth
Fellowships Now Accepted
Students Remain True
To Best Of Traditions
OESPONSE BY A&M students to members
of the Baylor student body last night at
yell practice is a credit to our college. ,
Sportsmanship has been on the climb here
during the last decade and has proved a
credit to the Corps of Cadets and A&M.
The manner which students greeted and
listened to Baylor’s representatives is above
reproach, since many held the Green and
Gold paintings as a project of the Waco
school.
We are proud the Aggies remained “Sold
iers, Statesmen and Knightly Gentlemen”
last night.
The “painting sprees” on both the A&M
and Baylor campuses during this week have
been unfortunate, but neither school can be
held responsible.
We do not know that they painted our
campus. And no one knows who spread an
artistic waste on the Waco campus. But this
we do know: “To be innocent is to be not
guilty; but to be virtuous is to overcome our
evil inclinations.”
Undoubtedly many members of our foot-

The first and simplest emotion
which we discover in the human
mind, is curiosity.—Burke.
Continue to Live,
Drive Carefully
jl/l'ORE THAN 39,000 persons will meet their
death via automobile accidents in 1952.
Today and tomorrow about 4,000 A&M
students will be on Texas highways. During
the last few years we have been fortunate
in having few fatal automobile accidents.
Taking the regular precautions while on
the road can save your life. And the life of
someone else.
Don’t be one of the 39,000. Take it easy
on the road.
I do pity unlearned cjentlemen
on a rainy day.—Falkland.
Why Not Webster?
npHE ENGLISH language is a tricky one.
So much in fact that both Webster’s
Dictionary and students find their identifi
cation of some words nebulous.
Filling out different forms at A&M
many humorous answers are uncovered. Es
pecially for the question “Marital status?”
Answers from applicants vary thusly:
‘Once.” “Very Strong.” “Satisfactory.”
‘Part-time.”
And Webster’s defines “marital: pertain
ing to a husband.”
Could be.

one half as much as himself.—.H.
W. Beecher.
ball opponent school and we ourselves may
wish to seek retaliation.
But our yell leaders expressed it best
when they said: “Saturday on the football
field will be the time and the place.”
It is in our fair and sportsmanlike and
virtuous achievements by which people want
to remember us and claim affiliation to us.
The worth of a college, in the long run, is
the worth of the individuals composing it.
Let’s remain in the spirit of good sports
manship and fair play throughout the year
as we did last night.
The covetous man never has
money; the prodigal ivill have none
shortly.—Ben Jonson.
Today Is UN’s
7th Anniversary
CEVEN CANDLES on a cake today com-
^memorate the.United Nations birthday.
During this week of Oct. 19-25, this coun
try has celebrated the seventh annivarsary
of the world united organization with posters,
flags, window displays, speeches, publicinzing
the name United Nations.
The reason for the celebration was ex
plained by Ralph Bunche, who said: “Every
demonstration of confidence in and support
of the United Nations by the American peo
ple is cheering and reassuring to peace-lov
ing peoples throughout the world.” .
Here are some of the accomplishments of
the UN during its seven years of life:
The UN effected peace between Israel and
neighboring states and also halted hostilities
between India and Pakistan over Kashmir.
Warfare has stopped in Indonesia because
of the UN and a free and independent re
public was established as was in the former
Italian colony of Libya in 1952.
Withdrawing of French and British
troops from Syria and Lebanon in 1946 was
instigated by the Security Council and the
same year Soviet forces withdrew from
Northern Iran because of the UN.
Adopting in 1948 the Universal Declara
tion of Human Rights, the first international
proclamation of the fundamental rights of
every human being, and the Genocide Con
vention, which went into effect in January,
1951, prohibiting liquidation of religious or
ethnic groups, the UN also continues to move
forward with its International Court of Jus
tice and is constantly adding to the body of
recognized international law.
Improvement of living standards by the
UN Expanded Program of Technical Assist
ance and the feeding of more than 10 mil
lion children and vaccinating 18 million
through the Specialized Agencies of the UN.
History’s first collective action against
aggression with the Korean action.
And it is in Korea that the United Na
tions is at the crossroads. The outcome will
determine its next birthday.
Aggie graduate students and
seniors who plan to enter graduate
school in September 1953, for their
first year of graduate study, are
invited to apply for a Graduate
Fellowship from the Danforth
Foundation of St. Louis, Missouri.
The Foundation welcomes appli
cants from the fields of Natural
Sciences, Social Sciences, Human-
ites and other fields of specializa
tion to be found in the undergrad
uate college.
These appointments are primar
ily “a relationship of encourage
ment,” carrying a promise of fin
ancial aid within prescribed con
ditions as needed. However, stu
dents with or without financial
need are invited to apply.
All Danforth Fellows will par
ticipate in the annual Danforth
Foundation Conference on Teach
ing, to be held at Camp Miniwan-
ca in Michigan next September.
Dean J. P. Abbott has been
named by President M. T. Harring
ton as Liaison Officer to work
with the Danforth Foundation on
the selection of candidates.

FOR A LC‘'G TIME we’ve suspected
that today’s college man would
no longer “gladly die for dear
old Si wash.” Neither does he play
ukuleles and sing “Alma Mater”
at the drop of a beanie.
We believe, too, that when it
comes to sportshirts the college
man is no different from his older
brother in town. He doesn’t go for
fads and screwball styles. But he
does go for smartness, good work
manship . . . and above all, value.
That is why we believe you’ll like
the new selection of sportshirts by
Manhattan®. For they have all these
qualities, plus a distinctive air that
sets them above the ordinary shirt.
So ask for Manhattan ... the
college man’s sportshirt.
