Letters to the Editor
Editor, The Battalion:
On April 28, the A&M campus
was official host to the visiting
ambassadors of the Ibero-Ameri
can countries and Haiti. 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 but names were witheld upon
request.)

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.”

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

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.

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.

citizens of Texas.
During the eaidy thirties, when
many farmers were going broke,
due to the depression, Miller help
ed - to build a cooperative cheese
plant in Jones County, saving
many farmers from going into
bankruptcy. The cheese was sold
to Kraft Cheese Corporation and
helped farmers over the hump of

figure in the building of a locker
plant in the same county and the
beginning of the A&M Journalism
