Journalism Which Succeeds Best —and Best Deserves Success— Fears God and Honors Man; Is Stoutly Independent, Unmoved by Pride of Opinion or Creed of Power . . . Walter Williams Just Recognition If ever a group of men received just recognition, the men of the Corps of Cadets did with the designation of Texas A&M as one of the nation’s seven military colleges. This year the Men of Aggieland can be even more proud of their designation than the rating last year. Improvements were just being instituted in the Corps of Cadets last year that have now been accepted as standard procedure. Other changes have been accomplished this year that have done even more to make the Texas A&M Corps of Cadets deserving of special recognition as one of the finest and we thing THE finest—college military organization in the world. The money that goes along with the military college designation is a side benefit that is important to the Men of Aggieland, but is completely overshadowed by the honor of the recognition of the award. Although many advances have been made and other im provements are in the process of being made, members of the Corps of Cadets must be on their guard in order to con tinue to deserve their military college rating. The men of the Corps of Cadets must remain on their guard and continue to improve the Corps as it has been im proved in the past, Texas A&M’s claim to its designation as a military college will never be challenged. If the men of the Corps of Cadets fail to guard against developing a false sense of security, next year at this time the list of military colleges will be reduced by one. The same men who earned the military rating for Texas A&M can also lose it, if they so choose. They have shown they have what it takes to be tops— we feel they will continue to prove Texas A&M has the finest college military organization in the United States. ★ ★ ★ Cen ter of Progress When the dedication ceremonies for the new $3,250,000 Data Processing Center are held here tomorrow, Texas A&M will officially take another major step in the direction of progress. Ours is a rapidly growing scientific and technical age and the establishment of the Data Processing Center proves that Texas A&M is keeping abreast of the times and is in terested in the welfare and future of our age. The new center is of vital importance mainly because it will not only be used by Texas A&M, but by all other Southern colleges, universities and science research groups and by Southern industry. The outstanding feature of the center is the gigantic IBM-704 electronic computor, one of four found on college campuses in the United States. It is an honor that Texas A&M is one of these colleges. Assistance in the field of scientfic research will be the principal service of the center. The services will be available, without cost, for non-sponsored research by institutions of higher learnings. Standard fees will be charged for sponsored research. Following the Data Processing Center and currently in the process of being constructed is the Texas A&M’s Nu clear Science Center—being established under the plan ap proved by the executive committee of the A&M System Board of Directors. Scheduled to be in operation early in 1961, the Nuclear Science Center is designed for research in chemistry, physics, biology, agricultural, engineering and medicine and is ex pected to be the most versatile unit of its type in the country. Other colleges and universities across the Southwest and Southern industry will also use the services of the nuclear center. The Nuclear Science Center and the Data Processing Center will establish Texas A&M as a leader in science and technology—probably the most important fields in the World’s future. Germany Shows Beginning Of Anti-Semitism Wave "WOKTHAl DOESN'T HAVE HIS ACCOWIAN HERE, EUT HE'S CONCENTED TO HONOR US WITH A PIANO SELECTION/ By CARL HARTMAN BERLIN, —First evidences in East Germany of the current worldwide wave of anti-Semi tism were reported today. Mexico and Canada’s West Coast also re ported their first outcroppings of the hate campaign, and the daub ing of swastikas and anti-Jewish slogans continued in other coun tries. “Potsram J e w i s h country trandesman” was painted during the night on the foundation of the Franklin D. Roosevelt monument overlooking the harbor of Oslo, Norway. Religious and government lead ers kept up a chorus of condem nation. Police officials, particularly in West Germany and West Ber lin, carried on diligent investiga tions to determine what was be hind the outbursts of hate-mon- gering that began with the smearing of a new synagogue in Cologne Chi'istmas Eve. The first reports of anti-Jewish slogans in East Germany came Among the Faculty and Staff Dr. Folweiler Named ‘East Texas on Month’ in West Bei’lin newspapers. The paper BZ said Communist police found a swastika and the now- familiar words “Juden Raus”. Jews get out painted on a shop window in a workman’s district of East Berlin. . Another West Berlin paper re ported an anti-Jewish slogan painted at Oranienburg, in the Communist area north of Berlin. BZ said someone who said he represented the neo-Nazi “Na tional Youth of Germany” had telephoned, demanding that the paper stop printing items about neo-Nazi organizations or “there Wee Aggies We Aggies like to read about Wee Ag gies.

The 6 lb., 10 oz. son, Kenneth Ross, was born at Sear- sey-Fleming Hospital in Hearne. A daughter was born Dec. 18 at 5:52 p. m. to Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Calvert. Calvert is an as sistant professor in the Depart ment of Journalism. The girl was named Karen Elaine and weighed 7 lb., 6 oz. Mr. and Mrs. Calvert live at 4309 Oaklawn in Bryan and have another daughter and a son. Dr. Alfred D. Folweiler, direct or of the Texas Forest Service, a part of the A&M System, is one of the most respected and best qualified men connected with for estry in the United States today. Folweiler, called “Doc” by his friends, has been named Man of the Month for Janury by “East Texas Magazine.” And it was a good choice, too, for there are few people in the forestry industry in Texas or Louisiana who do not know and respect him. Folweiler is always ready to give direction to any matters pertaining to the de velopment of our forest resources —a continuing asset which is en gaging the attention of more East Texans than in any. previous period in Texas history. Folweiler has prepared himself well for his work. Educated in the public schools of his native state of Pennslyvania, he attended Mercers- berg Academy, going on to Penn State, where he was graduated with a B. S. degree in forestry in 1925. Then he took a master’s de gree at Yale and followed it with a Ph.D. at the University of Wis consin. His first job as a forester was at Flagstaff,- Ariz., followed by a position with New Jersey’s For estry Division of its Department of Conservation and Development. While there, Folweiler did some original research on relating for est fire occurrence to weather by using weather data collected by the Aerological Laboratory of the Na val Air Station at Lakehurst, N. J. The results were applied with marked success by the state’s For est Fire Service. The South looked like the region with a future for a young forester, so Folweiler wangler a temporary job with the Applachian Forest Experiment Station of the U. S. Forest Service in 1928 and later became a district forester for the North Carolina Forest Service. In 1934 Folweiler joined the fac ulty of the Department of Forestry at Louisiana State University. During World War II, Folweiler took leave for military duty as a commissioned officer in the Corps of Engineers and was attached to General Patton’s Third Army. In 1949 Folweiler was named di rector of the Texas Forest Service. Authority and responsibility were decentralized into four depart ments and six administrative dis tricts. In 1953 research in tree im provement was begun, the first of this type work in the Deep South, with the financial assistance of lumber and paper companies. Dr. and Mrs. Folweiler have two children—Robert, a graduate me tallurgist doing research for Gen eral Electric, and Mrs. Janet Routt. COURT’S SHOES SHOE REPAIR North Gate will be consequences you will not be able to overlook.” The West Berlin police said Tuesday steps were being taken to ban the Na- . tional Youth group as well as the League of Nationalist Students., In what possibly was a reaction to the flareup of anti-Semitism, protests were made in London against a scheduled lecture at Britain’s National Film Theater by Leni Riefenstahl, once Hitler’s favorite movie actress.

Why is cheating an accepted practice in many of our colleges today? What can we do to stop this scandalous habit? In this week’s Saturday EveniiiffYost, a college professor reports: • about the ingenious ways students cheat. • how one college official ad mits “1 out of 3 students cheats rather regularly.” • why many professors know what’s going on — but do no thing to stop it. Be sure to read the explosive report on our “American Dis grace: College Cheating” — in this week’s Post.

Short letters stand a better chance for publication since space is at a premium. Unsigned letters will not be published. . . Editor, The Battalion As sophomores at A&M, we have had a chance to observe the general attitudes which prevail # on this campus. It has often been observed by us that individuals who are nor- •mally faithful in their attendance to church at their home, fail to attend any religious institutions regularly—if any—while residing on this campus. It must be admitted that Col lege Station is blessed with a number of religious organizations who are zealous in their at tempts to promote student at tendance to their various func tions. We are not blaming them, but rather are suggesting that something in the line of a Corps Church Service be initiated. We suggest that individual units should march to a central location—say G. Rollie White Coliseum—every Sunday morning and hear a service which does not stress denomination, but rather is aimed at strengthening individual faith. We do not think these forma tions should be compulsory poth ers might wish to attend one of the fine churches in this vicin ity), but we do think that they should be emphasized by the in dividual unit commanders. We hope some action will be taken on these suggestions.
