Editor 1 McGhee Featured (Continued from Page 1) ent system of alliances with West ern European countries which gave her any real assurance that the other world powers would assist her in her defense in the event of an attack by Russia. “Despite this, the Turks are probably much less concerned about the ‘cold war’, less jumpy about the Soviet menace, than we are. They leave no doubt in the Russian mind that they will fight to the last man in defense of their coun try. However, in the meantime, they live in equanimity under the shadow of a perpetual Russian threat. “The United States has only re cently come into direct conflict with Soviet Russia. Indeed, only recently has the atomic age made a military threat to this country possible. Although I am, of course, opposed to preventive war, I wish very much that we could assume more of an initiative in an effort to win the ‘cold war.’ However, until we do, we here in America must learn to live in equanimity with the threats and dangers which exist today. “Another important factor which I would like to emphasize about the world is how stubbornly it re sists efforts on our part, or any one country’s part, to control or even to predict the course of its never ending drama. The forces at play in the world are too great and their inter-relationship too un predictable.” McGhee proposed certain broad generalities which, in his opinion, will always be applicable to the conduct of the U. S. foreign policy. These were (1) The core of Am erican foreign policy should always be the well-being and security of this country. 2) The conduct of American for eign policy should be free from political partisanship. 3) We should have clear long- range foreign policy objectives which are not subject to compro mise and should seek in obtain ing them mutual support from allies whose broad objectives are similar to our own. 4) Both our foreign policy ob jectives and the methods used to achieve them should never deviate from the democratic and religious principles on which our society is based. 5) But, finally, this does not pre clude the injection Into our rela- ' Letters to the Editor Editor, The Battalion: For centuries famous artists from all over the world have at tempted to mix the color black with the other colors and have met with failure. But this has been done right here on our campus. The cooks of Duncan Hall have finally succeeded in mixing black and green in the roast “beef” they serve us, the very sight of which took away my appetite. How can we be expected to do our best on quizzes or assignments if we haven’t had anything to eat ? I, for one, am used to ex cellent food that is served in my home and when I was here my first semester at A&M lost twenty pounds. And I have eaten the “food” they serve us with the usual amount of dormitory grip ing. But today I felt I had to say something about it. In my opinion the mess hall has degenerated to the level of our hospital, and is now nothing more than a cesspool of administrative inefficiency, a blight to our cam pus. The school has constructed the new sidewalks, planted grass in barren spots, and improved the beauty of our school so that we can be proud to show it off to our guests. But it gets pretty bad when a student’s mother and girl refuse to eat in the mess hall be cause of the food they serve. The administration has cleaned up the exterior of our campus, but bas sorely neglected the students themselves. But there is still time. A few of us are still alive. Why shouldn’t they turn their at tention to the mess hall, that starts the process, and the hospital, that applies the coup de grace ? Berne H. Clark, ’57 P. S.—Maybe they could take a tip from the Borgias, who at least concealed the poison in their guest’s food so that it could not be tasted. (Ed. Note: Don’t know about your gripe about the mess hall, but the hospital problem should be al leviated. A good source has indi cated an experienced administra tor who was interviewed on the campus this past week should give an answer early in January. The next step will be up to the System Board of Directors at their Febru ary meeting.)
