Senior Court Perpetrates
Kangaroo A ction on Juniors
rr'EN CADET juniors fell victim last night
to 76 years of tradition and a liberal in
terpretation of The Articles of the Cadet
Corps.
Dulles Confused
SECRETARY of State Dulles implied yes-
^ terday that the United States will con
tinue its messed up identification of who’s a
what’s-it or a communist, hence prevent a
rapid end to the Korea action.
He said the US was not trying to cut off
all trade with Red nations in Europe, but
merely to wipe out the free world’s trade
with Communist China “to penalize her for
her aggression and make her repent of her
ways.”
Besides gaining an evangelistic attitude in
dealing with the Communists, the State De
partment seems iconfused as to what is aid to
an enemy. Dulles also implied it was all right
for our allies to trade with Red China when
he criticized “those who would seek to impose
on our friends or allies additional restric
tions upon their trade with the Communist
world even in terms of non - strategic
articles.”
Later, Dulles said he was in favor of stop
ping trade with Communist China and that
progress has been made in such steps.
It all boils down to who’s the real enemy ?
The juniors were confined to the campus
until Christmas by the Senior Court for fail
ing to attend the Aggie Muster. They were
tried under Article 35 of The Articles of the
Cadet Corps which is headed “Failing to Ob
serve Military Customs and Courtesy.”
Nowhere under this article is anything
written classifying the Aggie Muster as a
military custom or a courtesy. There is only
the heading and prescribed punishments.
With such a large number of so - called
traditions and customs binding A&M, it is
impossible to know what pertains to Article
35 if nothing is designated. As things stand
now a man, could be tried for failing to meet
Revielle II, if someone wanted to consider
that a military custom or courtesy.
Since Article 35 is one without a context,
the Senior Court is the only group that has
broken a regulation in this case. By sentenc
ing the juniors for something which is not
listed as an offense, the court has violated
the students privilege to use his free time as
he pleases. Violation of this rule can be
punished by dismissal from school.
By its action last night, the senior officers,
who compose the court, perpetrated an in
justice upon their subordinates, their corps
and their school.
If the student body allows this sentence
to stand, they are supporting a Kangaroo
court which can try a man on a senior’s whim
instead of for a designated offense.

Russia? Communist China?
Trading with friends of Communist China
and allowing them to supply the Chinese
Reds is indirect support of the Commies by
the US.
Until a clearer identification of a Com
munist state is supplied by our government,
the end of trade with Red China will-not end,
nor will the Korean “police action” be cli
maxed.
