How is Russia able to make rapid strides in research
in as short a time as she does?
The answer is a simple one—cooperation.
When they begin to work on a project with the goal
of getting it done quickly, all their scientists consolidate
efforts to produce maximum efficiency.
No rivalry among groups exists for all are working
for a common cause and that cause is placed above any
selfish interests.
Research is notl spread among hundreds of private in
dustries, colleges and universities and other organizations.
Through such research Russia has been able to pro
gress more rapidly than possibly any other nation in as
short a time.
What would keep all experts in the United States
from cooperating in such research as is necessary in the
rocket field ?
Top men from private industry, government and col
leges and universities could band together to put forth maxi
mum effort in reaching scientific goals with government
financing.

Thousands of miles away I feel
like being in Kyle Field yelling
fpr that Aggie team. My name
is Guy Fernandez ’56 anci prob
ably many remember me, espe
cially on the Batt staff because
I was the Batt photographed in
1956; and the ones that were
freshmen and sophomores in the
Aggie Band at that time will also
remember me for sure. I’ve
learned many things at A&M, but
something I will not ever forget
is that Aggie spirit which is still
vibrant within me and that makes
me love the school more now
that I am away. It has been
wonderful to have been an Ag - gie,
and especially to have been a
member of that fighting Texas
Aggie Band that must be proud
er, louder and sharper tha»i ever
now that we win not only during
the half time like old times, but
win all the way.
That number one in the nation
has given me the most pleasant
satisfaction of the year, and I
exploded with enthusiasm when
I read that the Miami Herald had
A&M first in the nation. I con
gratulate those gridiron heroes
with all my Aggie spirit and I
want them to know that thou
sands of miles away there are
people pulling for that Aggie
team, and that I wish that they
beat the hell out of everybody
and especially the teasippers,
whom I’Ve never seen the Aggies
beat, but now is no next year
story, so I already feel sori-y for
those .Longhorns whom I don’t
think have a chance to even score
against us.
Thanks “Bear” for doing such
a wonderful job vyith that team,
thanks to cdl the Aggies for
yelling their lungs out, and keep
yelling until you can’t hear your
self and if you can’t talk after
a game you have done your job
well.
If anyone of you Aggies want
to write to me and tell me about
those wonderful games, do so and
send me clippings if possible be
cause I want to be fully informed
about that Aggie team.
My address is:
Guy Fernandez L.

I’ll be expecting to hear from
you Aggies.

AUSTIN, Tex.—Gov. Price
Daniel’s special session legisla
tive program apparently is on
the way to being passed—with ad
ditions and changes here and
there.
Both Senate and House passed
water bills—differing quite a bit
from each other, and even more
from the measure the governor
requested.
Governor Daniel asked for a
statewide water planning division
with an appropriation of $1,024,-
000. He also asked for state au
thority to contract with the fed
eral government for water stor
age in federal reservoirs.
Cut out of the House Bill was
the water storage provision. Ap
propriation also was reduced to
about $951,000.
Senate cut the appropriation to
$600,240 and gave the proposed
new division authority to do re
search, but not to formulate an
overall plan. It authorized con
servation storage agreements, but
only if they are first approved
by the Legislature. •
LOBBY PROPOSALS — After
both House and
legislation (over $50 in the Sen
ate bill; over $25 in the House
bill).
Neither would require details
on how the money was spent.
A proposed substitute measure
in the House would make the law
makers responsible for reporting
money spent on them by lobbyists.
