FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1955
Cadet Slouch by James Earle
Big Weekend Ahead
A&M is going to host a lot of people during its first big
football and social weekend, which starts tonight.
People mean crowds, and crowds can mean trouble unless
each individual is able to maintain personal control. The
parking situation is not going to help, although all efforts
will be made to facilitate the movement of cars by Campus
Security officers.
With tempers shortened by having to drive around and
around—and with no promise of relief from the sultry weath
er that hasn’t helped at all—some persons are going to carry
a chip on their shoulder. We hope not, but it is probable.
Many Aggies and Aggie fans will remember last year’s
game with rancor. Those witnessing that game might well
remember the ill-feeling that sometimes broke into fights af
ter the game. Obviously the fights were related to the out
come of the football game—but they proved nothing.
And should fights break out at the game tomorrow night,
they still would prove nothing. Whoever wins the game has
won—and no amount of black eyes and bloody noses are
going to change that.
A group of Aggies are going to Houston tomorrow morn
ing to give the Cougar’s an official welcome from the A&M
student body. We hope they receive it in the spirit it will
be offered.
But it will be up to us here to prove that there is some
thing tangible behind that spirit.
Be friendly. Remember, the cougar is a relation of the
cat—and the cat is a domesticated animal.
Prediction
Our football predictions are on the sports page. But
right here The Battalion predicts that the union fee was ap
proved by students by a majority of 5 to 1.
We’ll soon know, for the results are to be declared by the
A&M System Board of Directors, meeting here tomorrow.
It was a $2 well invested. Thanks.

N. K. Dixon, chief of the inter
nal security division of the Texas
Department of Public Safety, serv
ed as a feature guest instructor
at the Industrial Plant Protection
School here this week.
The school seeks to provide in
dustrial plant protection personnel
from Texas with practical training
in procedures related to plant se
curity. The school is sponsored by
the Texas Engineering Extension
Service and the Industrial Plant
Protection Association of Texas.
Dixon told the “students” that
the “ever-increasing strategic im
portance of Texas, both from the
industrial and military standpoint,
makes this state a major target
for Communist infiltration.”
He pointed out that this situa
tion calls for close vigilance on the
part of plant protection men as
well as all citizens. Untold num
bers of men and women, Dixon
said, are being trained in Russia
and its satellite countries in the
fine arts of sabotage and espion
age.
Dixon said the function of sabo
tage is not only to create bottle
necks in industrial production but
to spread unrest and confusion
through false rumors and whisper
ing campaigns.
He emphasized that it is the aim
of all Communists to aid in over
throwing any government which
appears to stand in their way of
achieving world communism.
