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

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

gering that began with the
smearing of a new synagogue in
Cologne Chi'istmas Eve.

‘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”.

Another West Berlin paper re

telephoned, demanding that the

A future Corps Commander
was born Dec. 31 to Mr. and Mrs.
Joe M. Nolan, ’61, of A-6-B Col
lege View. 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.

A college professor warns:
College cheating
an American disgrace!
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.

Letters To The Editor
The Battalion welcomes letters to the editor but reserves the right to edit letters
for brevity, clearness and accuracy. 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.
