There seems to be no explanation for vandals ; they have no motive other than to destroy. This is just such a case. Nothing can be gained—not even the mystical “good bull'’—by defacing property. There is no honor in sneaking into the dorm at night and smearing paint on doors and slinking away It is not really much of an accomplishment. There is, however, a great deal to be lost by these eighth grade juvenile delinquents at play. Dorm 2 was refinishod as a test to see if cadets wanted better living quarters. If the Corps refuses or just doesn't know how to care for good equipment, the likelyhood of other dorms being refinished is moat uncertain. In addition to this obvious reason for keeping Dorm 2 as neat and clean as possible, there's a second reason mavbe with more ‘meaning” to the children involved in these mid night (tainting sessions. The penalty for being caught on the campus of another college with paintbrush in hand is siis()ens»on The penalty for getting caught defacing one’s own campus can lie no less . . Interpreting Pope Clings to Life By J. M ROBKHTS Aokoi Mird PreiM Nfw* Asalynt And so, in his quiet room above the beautiful crater lake at (astel Gandoifo, the thin, pale man clings to life. Eugenio Pacelli, Pope Pius XII, is 82 years old, and his body has ever been but a frail vehicle for his spirit. Monday morning his attendants indicated that man’s remedies would not sene and consigned him to the will of God. By Monday night the physicians were lending all of their modem aid to a spirit which had persisted even through coma. The will to live is a phenomenon familiar in medicine In some men it is pn>duced by fear. In some by a sense of tasks incomplete It has strange power. Pacelli the man has an intellect which ranges the world. Pacelli the Pope applies it to humanity, and to a striving for peace He is proportionately interested in the moral aspects of everyday acts of lifq and in the fate of a great church behind the Iron Curtain, in the lands of anti-Christ. He chose a work from which no man can hope to receive the satisfaction of completion. Yet in the quiet n>om. above the beautiful lake, he fights to avoid leaving it undone Metier Tra<rhnr !>•'« \hca4— IlnutYTO' promise of Setter travel- in* days ahead is tbe 1961-62 in terstate advatxe planning pro gram announced by the State High*ay Ommiaaion Cwnmiaaton authorised the pre liminary engineering sturlie* far 2Sii mile* ef nev interstate high way*. ctmaisting of 4S projects in 22 countie* Included in tbe advance planning will !>e com pletion of the gap?- m the inter state highway* between Dallas and Houston, Dallas and Tex arkana and from Denton to Fort Horth to Hillaboin.
