The Battalion PAGE 2 ... College Station (Brazos County), Texas Thursday, October 25, 1956 !timi MAN ON CAMPUS by Dick Slbler Answer for More Buildings From all sides voters are being bombarded with cam paign promises, charges, accusations and denials. Almost hidden under this heap of political bombast is a state amendment so simple that a first glance will fail to reveal its importance. Yet it alone is the answer to the growing crowded con dition in Texas colleges and universities. This solution, called amendment 3, asks the people of Texas to allow 50 per cent of the permanent university fund to be invested in corporate stocks and bonds. Money for building classrooms and dormitories comes only from this fund. Anyone visiting campuses in Texas, and certainly this one, can easily see the already desperate need for more class rooms and dormitories. And the total college enrollment in Texas now is only 77,000. By 1970, it is expected to reach 123,000. Where will these students live? Where will they study? Will colleges be forced to turn students away because they don’t have the facilities? The only answer to these questions is a big building pro gram—a big one over a long period of years. At present, the permanent fund is invested entirely in government bonds which bring a return of 2.7 per cent. Adoption of amendment 3 wall increase this to 3.5 per cent. This additional eight per cent will amount to more than 45 million dollars in 20 years. Amendment 3 provides a sound, practical way of finan cing this building program for all state colleges and univer sities over the next 20 years without adding a single tax or increasing a single tax rate. Serious voters will ask about the risk of investing this money in corporate stocks and bonds. Eight safety factors listed below are insurance enough to eliminate speculation and risk. 1. Not more than 50 per cent of the fund can be invested in securities other than federal, state or municipal bonds. 2. Only stocks listed on exchanges registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission may be bought. 3- Only stocks of companies incorporated in the United States may be bought. 4. Only stocks of companies which have paid dividends for at least ten consecutive years immediately prior to the date of purchase may be acquired. 5. Not more than five per cent of the voting stocks of a corporation may be owned. 6. Not more than one per cent of the Fund may be in vested in any one corporation. 7. Only first lien mortgages guaranteed in whole by the United States government may be purchased. 8. Trustees of the Fund will be subject to statutory re sponsibility. An immediate effect of adoption of the amendment would be to eliminate for the next 20 years all demands upon General Revenue Fund for appropriations to finance build ings and other permanent improvements at all existing state supported colleges, universities and related agencies. Since 1951 the legislature has made appropriations to taling $10,507,820 for buildings at institutions which under the proposed amendment would get their building funds either from the 5 cents ad valorem tax or the permanent university fund. TT TLJgNTP Sir KHINP ElffO—SLEPT BEHIND HIM IN HISTORY.*' Hydrogen Bomb Called Great War Deterrent Letters Editor, The Battalion I have just finished reading the “Letters to the Editor” in todays Battalion. Mr. Gooch, Mr. Klein and Mr. Thomas are to be com mended for their public stand with regard to the letter written by Mr. Robert C. Tinsley which was published in a recent edition of your paper. It is my personal opinion that men such as Mr. Tinsley have no business in the Corps, much less future commissioned officers in our armed forces. No true leader of men would ever make state ments such as he made. When a student chooses to at tend Texas A&M College as a civ ilian student, he is committing no crime and should not be subjected to humiliation by statements such as those made by Mr. Tinsley. I am bot]^ a gra'duate student and a veteran of World War II and outbursts such as Mi\ Tins ley’s are personally obnoxious. Albert R. M achel J. Paul Shectlv* Wasn't Very Sharp Till Wildroot Cream-Oil Gave Him Confidence WASHINGTON, CP) _ President Eisenhower yesterday called the hydrogen bomb a great deter rent to war-a weapon, he said, which tells any potential enemy it would be “suicidal” to attack America. The President set forth his views in responding to questions put by seven women on a nation-wide radio-TV program sponsored by the Republican Congressional Cam paign Committee. The Committee said the women it chose to appear on the program were “repi-esentative of all walks of life and various sections of the country.” In discussing the H-bomb, Eisen hower did not touch on the pro posal by Adlai Stevenson, that this country take the lead to end H- bomb tests. However, on another proposal advanced by Stevenson — that thought be given to ending the military draft-Eisenhower stuck to his position that the draft must be continued at this time. Mrs. Louis Martin, a Negro mother of 12, who lives on a farm near Salisbury, Md., told the Pres ident she is worried about the H- bomb, and asked: “What is the future of our fami lies in this atomic age?” Solemnly Eisenhower replied: “the world must find a peaceful solution” to the great problem the superbomb presents. “We can never have a hydrogen war and still have a civilization,” ho said. Aircraft Damage Totals $75,000 ) Damages to 27 aircraft during the storm Saturday at Eastei’wood amounted to $75,000, according to H. G. Smith, airport manager. Of the 27 planes, which were the lighter, high-wing type, 15 were damaged to the extent they could not be flown from the field. Yesterday afternoon five planes remained oh- the field. Only two j of the 27 damaged were beyond i repaix-. Two San Antonio men were in- I jured when the plane they were | sitting in was lifted into the air by the 90 mile per hour wind and ! flung ag’ainst the ground.

"It's quilling me the way they give me the brush-off.” "It’s your hair, J. Paul,” said one ol the lads. "It sticks out all over. Confidentially, it stings. You need Wildroot Cream-Oil.” So Sheedy picked up a bottle. Now he has all kinds of confidence, because his hair looks healthy and handsome, the way Nature intended. Neat but vot greasy.

California Division activities in Burbank cover virtually every phase of commercial and military aircraft. Seventeen different models of planes are in production, including cargo and passenger transports, high Mach performance fighters, jet trainers, radar search planes, patrol bombers. B. S. graduates who wish to attain a Master’s Degree will be interested in the California Division's Masters-Degree Work-Study Program. In the program, participants achieve their M.S. while working concurrently on Lockheed’s engineering staff. M At Lockheed in Marietta, Georgia, new C-130A turbo-prop transports and B-47 jet bombers are being manufactured in the country’s largest aircraft plant under one roof. The division is already one of the South's largest industries. Moreover, a new engineering center is now in development as part of the division's expansion program. In addition, advanced research and develop ment are underway on nuclear energy and its relationship to aircraft. A number of other highly significant classified projects augment the extensive production progranu "COMANCHE! It This broad expansion program is creating new positions in each division.
