Look What You’ve
Been Doing To Me
By BILL FULLERTON
“Hey, you! Stop for a minute.
“That’s a nice car you have there
•—and a lot of nice people in it.
A pretty wife and two happy child
ren. You’re sitting on top of the
world.
“You’ve got everything you de
sire, it seems. Everything except
a few words I want to tell you.
“I haven’t got a wife—yet. But
I intend to have one some day. And
I want that day to arrive with me
all in one piece. So, buddy, I’d
appreciate it if you wouldn’t pass
me on hills—YOU are endangering
MY life.
“And another thing; I haven’t
got a big powerful car like your’s.
Mine’s old, it won’t go too fast,
and it rattles pretty had. But T
like it and I want to keep it. So,
buddy, I’d appreciate it if you
wouldn’t run up so close to me
when you’re driving—-YOU are en
dangering MY car.
“You must have a nice job to
own a big car like that. Well, I’m
still in college and don’t have a
job lined up yet. But I will, and
I hope that eventually I’ll be able
to afford some of the things you
have. So, buddy, I’d appreciate it
if you wouldn’t drink while you’re
driving or drive while you’re drink
ing-—YOU are endangering MY fu
ture.
“Those sure are cute kids you
have. Just like the ones I hope to
have some day. Kids are almost
a sure sign of happiness. And
talking about signs, I’d appreciate
it, buddy, if you’d obey the ones
that have been put out for your
and my f protection. YOU are en
dangering you, me and everyone
else.”
“There’s a lot more things I’d
like to tell you about. Like keep
ing your car in perfect condition,
signaling when turning or stop
ping, dimming your lights when
another car approaches, keeping
your speed reasonable, staying in
line. . . .
“Now, mister, I know I’ve sound
ed rather selfish and interested on
ly in what you have been doing to
endanger me. I’m sorry about
that. Talking to you made me re
alize that I’ve been doing things
to endanger myself—and YOU.
“We’re not all perfect — but
some of us aren’t even trying.”
It is common in Spain to present
women with a bottle of Sherry wine
after childbirth.

A fter noon. Night Talks
Open To General Public
The world’s problems probably won’t be solved as the
dawn breaks tomorrow over another strife-ridden day, but
then A&M’s first Student Conference on National Affairs
will have completed only its first day of actual existence.
Seriously, though, no one expects this conference of the
top students in the Southwest, plus some of the top men in
international affairs, to come up with the answer to what’s
wrong with our world. But the participants do expect to
get a clearer understanding of the road down which the
United States must travel if our country is to survive the
threats to peace in our contemporary world.
Things started crackling today as the more than 100
♦'delegates from 47 colleges
and universities officially reg
istered for the conference.
Topping the agenda this af
ternoon is a 3 p.m. speech by
Lamar Fleming Jr., chairman of
the Board of Anderson, Clayton &
Co., in the ballroom of the Memo
rial Student Center. This talk,
which is open to the public and
presented by Great Issues and
SCONA, will follow the welcome
to delegates and faculty by A&M
president, Dr. David H. Morgan.
A smorgasboj’d will be held for
conferees tonight at 6 in the ball
room. At 8 the second keynote
address will be given by George
C. McGhee, former Assistant Sec
retary of State. This address is
also open to the public. A reception
will be held following both this
address and the afternoon talk by
Fleming.
Round-table meetings will start
Thursday morning with the first
discussions to center around the
question: “How did the United
States attain its Position of Lead
ership?” Following a Corps review
at 1:30 p.m., Thruston B. Morton,
Assistant Secretary of State, will
speak at the first plenary session
on “Mechanics of Formulating
