We as Aggies from some of these coun tries, were asked to receive these official representatives of our countries; and we did so, but pos sibly for different reasons. We would especially like the student body, the faculty, and citizens gen erally of this great democracy to have some idea concerning our feelings toward some of these gov ernments. First, we should like to classify the governments of our countries, and we will only dare to name as democratic-Brazil, Costa Rica, Mexico, Uruguay and Argentina (the latter, although not demo cratic, is defacto the revolution ary government which eliminated the regime of Peron). The list of dictatorships in'long er—Chili, Columbia, Cuba, Domini can Republic, Nicaragua, Para guay, Peru and Venezuela. The remaining countries such as Boli via, Panama, Guatemala, Ecuador and Honduras are difficult to eval uate. Second we want to make very clear the fact that although we re ceived these ambassadors, such recognition was not to be constru ed as approbation in every case of the governments that they rep resented. For example, the Cu bans were honored to receive His Excellency, M. A. Carnpa, out of courtesy to this gentlemen of great personal prestige, but not in xecog- nition of the regime he represents. The Argentinians were proud to receive a man who fought against Peron. Others went out of a sense of fear for relatives and friends living in these countries. Finally, the day after the visit of these ambassadors, many Cubans lost their lives in an attempt to overthrow the rule of Batista. We earnestly pray that these lives may not have been sacrificed in vain and that Cuba will one day again join the ranks of free peoples. Today, five Cuban Aggies now hcive their families and friends living under martial law. We pray, and would like to hope, that some day the United States will with hold the protection of official rec ognition now given to some of the dictatorships in the Americas. (Ed. Note: The letter was sign ed but names were witheld upon request.) Rancher, Judge, Professor Senate Economics Group Does Self-Analysis The Department of Agricultural Economics and Sociology has Ixiunched a program of self-im provement. The program, which got under way during the last week in March, is a systematic review and analysis of its research, teaching and ex tension work in its various subject- matter fields. Dr. John G. McNeely, chciirman of the marketing section, took the initial step by inviting two top- ranking men in the field to spend three days on the campus exchang ing ideas and discussing phases of marketing work. They are Dr. Ray Bressler, head of the Department of Agricultural Economics at the University of California, Berkeley, and Dr. D. B. DeLoach, chief, Marketing Organi zation and Costs Branch, USD A, Washington. “Purpose of the program is an exchange of ideas on design of ex perimental research, methods, and economic analysis,” Dr. McNeely says. “In addition, our planning included discussions on strengthen ing the relationships between mar keting research, resident teaching, extension activities, and with tech nical departments in the Texas A&M College System.” (Continued from Page 1) Also to be in operation by Sep tember 1, 1956 will be a mental hygiene clinic. “Irregardless of what happens, you will get good care and service pretty quick,” said Dr. Lyons. A new dietitian will be employed before school begins next year. As new changes in the “set-up,” Dr. Lyons listed the following: 1. Major,surgery no longer will be handled by the College Hos pital. 2. The second floor of the new wing will be set-up for patients with freshly painted walls and acoustic tiling. 3. A reception room on the first floor. 4. A completely new kitchen will be built in the basement to By RALPH COLE Teacher, rancher, lawman—that’s Otis Miller, associate professor of journalism. A University of Texas graduate that turned Aggie, Miller has taught in three colleges for 13 years—nine of them at A&M. He taught for two years at Baylor University and for the same time at the University of Wisconsin. His first teaching experience came in 1922 at Bayloi\ Besides being a teacher, Miller has served in politics and operated his own newspaper in Anson, Tex., for more than seven years. He fought for West Texas- agriculture for more than 18 years—mostly on cotton and peanut allotments during and after the time he op erated his newspaper, the Jones County Observer. He served as county attorney of Jones County for two years and county judge for four years before being elected district atorney of the 104th Judicial District with county seat in Abilene for six years. This is where students get the nickname “Judge” for Miller. The Judge entered service as a buck private in the infantry and was discharged several months later as a sergeant in the field artillery, after winning lightweight boxing- champion of Camp Travis, Ark. He acquired his AB and Masters degrees from the University of Texas and later his LLB in law and entered politics in 1928 at Stanford. While he was county judge, he was elected president of the County Judges and Commis sioners Association as a reward for his fight against the Road Bond Assumption Law. Judge Miller made trips all over Texas, carrying on the fight for the law which lowered taxes for building state highways. He trav eled fo Austin to speak before the House and didn’t leave that city until the law was signed by the late Ross S. Sterling, then gover- own, Sara Lyn. “If my daughter had been a boy, I would have sent her to A&M,” Judge Miller said, “because of the bond of friendship built here.” Although Miller is a graduate of UT, he said, “When two UT graduates meet, they’re just mem bers of the human race. But, when two Aggies meet, they are loyal buddies—or even brothers.” Born on a ranch at Floydada Jan. 30, 1893, Judge Miller oper ates an 832-acre ranch on the Nav- asota River, three miles from Nav- asota. He is now running 203 head of cattle and does some farm ing, including 60 acres of irri gated alfalfa. Miller says he manages his own place—with the help of his wife— and drives over every day to check WhaUs Cooking The following organizations will meet tonight: 7:30 Institute of the Aeronautical Sciences meets in the Engineering Building.

Morgan will speak on the topic, “You As A Veterinarian.” Elections will be held. his cattle. His main interest is centered around agriculture—he has writ ten articles for Farm and Ranch and the Progressive Farmer mag-. azines. Before entering law prac tice, Miller worked on the Wiscon sin State Journal, El Paso Herald and Austin Statesman. He was also correspondent for the Dallas Morning News while at UT. One of Miller’s main interest ■ is in his former students scattered all-over the United States. He also does counseling with students and has helped many married couples “iron out their troubles.” Miller, who says he has taught about 3,000 students in his nine years at A&M, is a member of Sigma Delta Chi, Gulf Coast Press Association, Masonic Lodge, including Shrine, Kiwanis Club and member of the Methodist Church. He is a former president of the American Association of University Professors, a member of the American Legion, and is former editor of the “Alcalde”, University of Texas alumni publi cation. OTIS T.

Two cents of gas said Dr. Lyons. He concluded his talk by saying that he was “trying to make the hospital something you will be proud of.” He received a letter of commendation from the senate last week for the work he did in helping save Curry’s life. TONY BRUCK, CIVILIAN SEN ATOR, proposed that the seating arrangement for civilians next year in Kyle Field be divided into four parts, with each class from fresh man through senior being required to sit in his respective section. As a means of enforcing this plan, civilian student activity cards will be marked with differ ent colors denoting their section. Since this plan received the big gest support in a poll taken by the Civilian Student Council and was recoipmended by that coun cil, it was passed by the senate.
