Operator’s School
Has 26 Students
Maximum enrollment of 26
was reached for the Heavy Equip
ment Operator’s School which be
gan March 9, under the sponsor
ship of the Engineering Extension
Service.
This school limits the enrollment
to 16 students in phase one and
10 students in phase two of the

machine for every student and the
instructor can spend ample time
with each student, said Alvin W.
Jones, chief instructor.
Phase one gives training in the
basic care and operation of craw
ler and rubber-tired tractors, mot
or graders, scrapers (both tract
or-drawn and self-propelled), and
all equipment used with these ma
chines, he said.
Phase two of the program gives
training in the operation of ex
cavating equipment such as
cranes, draglines, clamshells, shov
els and hoes.
These courses consist of 60
hours of classroom instructions,
80 hours of field maintenance and
100 hours of practical operation.
Ch.E. Juniors Plan
Houston Field Trip
Junior chemical engineers will
make an annual inspection tour of
several Houston industrial com
panies March 23-25.
According to Dr. J. D. Lindsey
of the Department of Chemical
Engineering, the juniors will go to
Houston and surrounding areas to
make an inspection of the follow
ing companies:
Monday—Magnolia and The
Kopper Company.
Tuesday—E. T. Dupont Com
pany and Texas-United States
Chemical Company.
Wednesday—Sheffield Steel and
Champion Paper & Fiber Company.
The trip is three-fold in pm-pose.
It will give the students a chance
to see some of the class room
theory in use, give the companies a
chance to see some of the future
graduates and give the companies
a chance to show* their facilities,
Lindsey said.

"LOVE IS BLIND"
Next to the Bible, Shake
speare is the richest source of
common quotes. He's respon
sible for this one, too. See his
"Merchant of Venice," Act II,
Scene 6:
"But love is blind, and lov
ers cannot see
The petty follies that them
selves commit."
"THIRTY DAYS HATH
SEPTEMBER," ETC.
No need to recite further from
this bit of doggerel which has
served us all as a pony ever
since grade school. For this
universal handy reference we
are indebted to a man named
Richard Grafton who was nice
enough to compose the rhyme
way back in 1570.
"PUT IT IN YOUR PIPE"
No, Sir Walter Raleigh didn't
originate this smoker's chal
lenge. It was R. H. Barham, in
"The Lay of St. Odille":
"For this you've my word,
and I never yet broke it.
So put that in your pipe.
My Lord Otto, and smoke
it."

President Fears
Nuclear War
Over Berlin
WASHINGTON <dP)_ Bresident
Eisenhower Wednesday ruled out
ground warfare in Europe and said
everyone might as well understand
that nuclear warfare over the Ber
lin crisis is not “a complete im
possibility.’’
Yet Eisenhower stood firm at a
news conference aginst pressure
from some powerful congressional
Democrats to bolster the nation’s
defenses with more money, mis
siles and men—^particularly men.
If Congress persists in providing
more manpower for the Army and
Marines, the commander in chief
said he supposed he’ll have to put
them “some place where it’s nice,
to keep them out of the way, be
cause I don’t know what else to do
with them.”
A bit plaintively, Eisenhower'
said • that every time something
called a crisis develops, whether
it it Sputniks, Quemoy or Korea,
“everybody has an anstver.”
He pleaded with tHe country to
stand steady, to avoid hysteria
and going “a little bit off half-
cocked.” Because of the actions
and attitudes of communism, the
President said,“we are livin r g and
we are going to live in a tense
period.”
He said it would be ruinous to
be “pushed off’ time and again,
by something suddenly described as
a crisis, from a defense plan
which he said represents the near
est approach to a consensus of
those people who are best in
formed on the subject.
While he was at it, Eisenhower
took a dig or two at what he
termed wisecracks of Soviet Pre
mier Nikita Khrushchev. He didn’t
think much, he said, of Khimsh-
chev’s suggestion for making West
Berlin a free city and garrisoning
it with Soviet as well as French,
British and U. S. troops.
He took a series of swipes, too,
at critics of his defense program,
and at those who say it ought to
be strengthened regardless of
whether this throws the budget out
of balance. Key Democrats fired
back, in a manner to indicate
they still intend to write their own
ticket on defense.
Eisenhower said he was tired" of
talking about “the idea of bal
anced budget against national se
curity,” and he added: “I say that
a balanced budget in the long run
is a vital part of national security.”
If defense spending goes up 5
billion dollars this year, and then
7, 8, 9 and 10 more, he said, thn
economy will wind up as a garrison
state.
