But if we were Air Force cadets like you, we would wait a few days so the Air Force could catch up with the trend and get their flags up. For your information the ground force had at least three flags up before Squadron 3 even got started! But we’re not trying to renew the did Adlai, Stalin Harry Together Editors, The Battalion: To Mrs. Goss: I read your tart letter in The Battalion (Nov. 19). Of course, Mrs. Goss, if you voted for Adlai that’s your business. It’s your poli tical privilege to vote for the can didate you consider to be the best suited for the job. However, I thought you might like to know it is rumored that Acheson told Lati- more who grape-vined it to Hiss who gave it to Stalin who tattled to Adlai that even Truman voted for Ike! Ray C.

A&S Council Plans To Rate Profs The Arts and Sciences Council voted last night to investigate the possibility of having a campus wide student rating of instructors this year. Councilman John Samuels made the motion. J. P. Abbott, dean of the School of Arts and Sciences, described to the council approaches it might use in determining the qualifica tions which may be used to grade an instructor. The group decided that each club in the council dis cuss the matter and report at a later meeting. A eall meeting to hear the re ports probably will be held early in January, said Ralph E. Wal lingford, president. Fort "Worth Club Plans Ball Friday Warren Edwards and his orches tra will play from 8 p. m. until midnight Friday at the Sunset Club in Fort Worth at the co-sponsored Fort W'orth A&M Mothers’ Club and hometown club dance. “Members are requested to bring their high school friends and oth ers who may wish to attend A&M in the future,” said Willie East, president. The dance also is being held to interest persons in A&M, East said. The club is the Old Hilarity Club on Roberts Cut-Off, east of the Jacksboro Highway, East said. Lines Repaired Service Now OK “Phone service in College Sta tion is back to normal,” said G. M. Brennan, division manager of the Southwestern States Telephone Company. Brennan said there may be a few scattered prones still out of order. Rain the night of Nov. 17, caused a break in the phone cables. “We may have some more trou ble as a result of rain over the week-end,” Brennan said. Thanksgiving Supper Served in Dining Halls The annual Thanksgiving sup per was served by candle light last night to students and their guests in Sbisa and Duncan Din ing Hails. and ground force—we are merely rivalry between the Air Force trying to see credit given where credit is due. By that we mean the originators of this “G. B. S.” We, the juniors of A AAA would like to see our sophomores given credit for hav ing the first flag up. If you will remember correctly, there was a flag flying from prexy’s dome on Monday morning with the red let ters A AAA on it, and incidentally it was the only flag on the campus other than Old Glory and the Tex as flag. It wasn’t so bad that our flag wasn’t the basis of your article, but when you completely neglected to give our outfit credit for even having a flag up, that was more than we could take lyihg down. We are merely trying to clear up the fact that the sophomores of A Battery, Antiaircraft Artillery, not Squadron 3, are responsible for the flag’s flying in the “dawn’s early light.” However, we are not trying to take away from Squadron 3’s ef forts. Perhaps they have had more flags up than any other outfit on the campus. And maybe they are the first outfit other than the armor to have their flags on the bonfire. They deserve credit for these accomplishments. But we Students Ponder Value of Flags Editors, The Battalion: We would like to congratulate our wonderful Air Force cadets for bravery above and beyond the call of duty with reference to their flying flags from the Aca demic Building, the water tower, and the bonfire center pole. We refer you to the news item in The Batttalion, Friday, Nov. 21, 1952. The ■ previous adventure' which imposed unsurmountable obstacles at every turn was no match for our brave little “fly-boys.” The fact that ground force men have been scaling the A&M “Matter horn” for years does not detract from the fact that the fellows fin ally made it. Since that was the highest that most of them will ever get into “the wild blue yonder” we sincere ly feel that The Battalion should have devoted a full page for the account of the daring feat. We think flag raising is “good bull” and shows outfit spirit, but what made this feat, accomplished many times in the past by the ground force, so spectacular that it received front page acclaim?
