Bonfires and Spirit
Bonfire building has begun, and with it
comes the tremendous upsurge of school
spirit that has always marked bonfire time.
Channeled harmlessly, as into building a
bigger bonfire and supporting the team, this
spirit is a good thing.
But if it is channeled into stealing signs
and wanting to “paint up” the other school’s
campus, this spirit becomes detrimental to
A&M and the individual.
Already, only two days into bonfire time,
we have had three cases of sign stealing.
The people with misguided spirit, those who
believe it is more “Aggie” to steal a sign
rather than to work building one, have given
A&M a black eye with at least three local
businesses.
But more dangerous are the “visits” to
other campuses. Last year’s bonfire week,
in which both A&M and the University of
Texas were lucky to get by without a death,
should serve as an example.
*
An incident on one campus demands re
taliation, which in turn demands more retal
iation, and soon the original incident has
snowballed into an uncontrolable series of
gang fights.
The boards of A&M and Texas have joint
ly declared that any student caught doing
such acts will be immediately suspended, but
this is only a punishment method.
The prevention must come from the. stu
dents themselves. Each student must think
of the consequences of his actions, both to
himself and his school.

Cadets Praised
By Visiting Men
“The corps of cadets deserves to
be highly commended for its per
formance,” said Col. Joe E. Davis,
commandant, speaking of the corps
review Saturday.
The review honored guests here
for Fall Military Day.
Lt. Gen. I. D. White, commander
of the fourth army and one of the
visitors for the review, said that it
was “even better than last year’s
spring Military Day.”
“I’m looking forward to Military
Day next spring,” White said.
Maj. Gen.. James M. Gavin, army
chief of staff for operations, anoth
er guest, was also impressed with
the review, saying it could compare
with any review he has ever seen
anywhere.
Gavin was particularly impressed
by the band. “I’ve never seen any
thing like that,” he said. Just co
ordinating all that music must be a
tremendous technical job.”
“I didn’t know there were that
many musicians in Texas,” said
Gavin, a native of New York.
Gavin said he had served with

Angry Gods
HONOLULU — (A>) — Hawaiians
were not surprised when a caVe-in
occurred in a tunnel project
through the Koolau mountains,
killing five men.
Old-time Hawaiians say the gods
were angry because two Eeepa
stones had been destroyed by bull
dozers building an approach to the
tunnel from the Honolulu side of
the mountain range.
What can be done to placate the
gods ? This is what the Hawaiians
recommend:
“Nothing less than the sacrifice
of a black pig with a red stripe
down the body can undo the mis
chief.”

many A&M officers and their per
formance was superior.
“Their best performance, that I
saw, was with the armored regi
ments near the front line in World
War II,” he said.
About 15 military and civilian
leaders were present for the re
view, plus members of the former
students association executive
board and newspaper representa
tives. :
Also present were cameramen
from Associated Press wirephoto
and Humble Oil’s ’Texas in Re
view’ television program. The tele
vision cameraman filmed the re
view for a later showing on the
program.
Davis said he did not know def
initely yet whether or not the Fall
Military Day could be made an an
nual affair.
He said he hoped it would be.
