i. Battalion Editorials Page 2 THE BATTALION FRIDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1952 WhaVs Cooking The AGGIE-Nizer Both Sides of Story Should Be Told, Heard W/HATEVER the situation, the United ” States has patted itself on the back con sistently on always letting the other side tell their story. This is the American theme. We always say, “Everyone can say what they want and explain their views and actions.” However, this is many times proven un true. Especially, college students will say, “When it’s us against them (the administra tion.)” A recent case in Northwestern Univer sity carbons such an incident but perhaps it is justified. The editor of the university’s student Pentagon Tries f|THE PENTAGON cannot end the war in -*• Korea, but it is making steps toward keep ing the bad news away from homefront. This week, the Pentagon dropped the word “casualty” from its weekly report of wounds and fatalities incurred in the war. According to the Pentagon, the word was misleading and presented to people the idea that everyone listed as a casualty had been killed or maimed. But more important action of the Penta gon, was the new method undertaken in re porting casualties. From now on, the De fense Department will not give the grand total of all U. S. casualties in the Korean War. However, reporters on the front lines are adding the daily reports to get the grand total. This week’s report: Killed in action, 20,004; wounded, 94,367; missing, 13,012; total, 127,383. The Defense Department is stalled in Ko rea, it seems to be trying to create a stale mate at home. Russia Confused A WORLD WIDE controversy since time began has centered around “which lang uage is the hardest to learn?” Following is an incident which seems to indicate the Eng lish language rates high in this respect. Russian propagandists are claiming: “American imperialists are attempting to en courage the growth among Italian youth of rudeness, cruelty, and hate for the enemy, striving for personal glory as an integral part of the arms race and for this reason forcing beizbol and American futbol on the Italians.” But the Italians, who are getting the big gest dose of the dope, are as confused as the Russians. During World War II, the Americans in troduced their favorite sport, baseball, and the Italians caught on. That is to every thing except the name. The Italians call it “pallabse.” The Rus sians “beisbol.” By “futbol” the Russians must mean “football.” Which goes to show you, the English is the hardest to learn, al though Russian propaganda is not the only example.
