THE BATTALION CADET SLOUCH Page 2 College Station, Texas Friday March 11, 1960 by Jim Earle Herter Somewhat Different BATTALION EDITORIALS . . . 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 Not Enough Registration closed yesterday for the annual Blood Drive on the Texas A&M campus under the auspices of the Student Senate. And the estimated 500 registrants fell approximately 100 short of the requested 600 donors. The drive is one of the most worthy on the campus and tabulations show less than one student in 14 registered to give blood at the donation March 17 in G. Rollie White Coliseum. Records over the past years show blood donated by Texas A&M students have been responsible for saving 14 lives. Furthermore, the blood donated last year was bene ficial to persons suffering from hemophilia and leukemia. The Senate requested 600 registrants for the Drive, since numerous probable donors will have to be refused due to minor ills and other causes. Last year 396 pints of plasma were donated by Texas A&M students and it appears from the registration figures this year, the Drive will not equal that total. Moreover, the donated blood will go to the Wadley Foundation in support of the Texas Children’s Research Foundation. The 400 pints asked for would have been valued at an estimated $10,000-$12,000 for necessary aid and re search. Members of the Senate also are going further in making the actual donation as simple for the students as possible by assigning specific periods during the off-hours for dona tion. The schedule will allow ample time for students to attend classes and other functions. In addition, the College Station Lions’ Club is coordin ating with the Senate on the Drive. Last year the Lions’ sponsored the Bloodmobile trip to Texas A&M from Dallas. However, the 1960 Blood Drive will evidently fall short of appropriate expectations. A request of but 600 regis trants was made—one of 11 students—and only one of 14 responded. . . The Big One... Perhaps the most outstanding weekend of the year on the Texas A&M campus opens today with a flurry of activi ties featuring the annual Spring Military Day Weekend. n**. A vast array of social and military activities are sched uled and the students of Texas A&M will naturally be making every effort to put the proverbial best foot forward for the expected 5,000 visitors. The military dignitaries visiting for the Military Day activities Saturday afternoon and evening form one sector of the guests, while the guests of the students visiting for both the social and military events naturally form the other. The festivities commence early Friday evening and will continue almost without ceasing until late Saturday night— and maybe longer. The cooperation-of both civilian students and students in the Corps of Cadets will insure the weekend its traditional success. SPECIALS Fri. ■ Sat. - Sun.

And yet in these 11 months there has been a big change. You couldn’t help but feel it this week at the news conference of Christian A. Herter who just a little less than 11 months ago succeeded John Foster Dulles as secretary of state. Dulles was then dying of cancer. Herter is a friendly, even a genial, kind of man who seems to Social Whirl Monday Aggje Wives Council will meet in the Cashion Room of the YMCA.

He cer tainly answers simply* He gives an impression of great honesty, but not an impression of great power. Dulles was different. He talked like a man who had rehearsed— by having his aides ask him the questions newsmen might ask him —his answers beforehand, care fully down to the last phrase. But you never had any doubt, listening to Dulles and watching him, that he had power to spare. There was never any doubt that he was speaking not only for him self but for President Eisenhower, too, and that* Eisenhower ap proved ahead of time. The power was there, all right. Between the time he took office in 1953 and the time he went down with cancer early in 1959 Dulles made foreign policy. No secretary of state probably ever had been so trusted by a presi dent. Gradually, after Herter took over, Eisenhower began to assert himself and, in time, he became the great traveler. More and more it has become apparent that Ei senhower, not Herter, is making the decisions in foreign policy. In these past 11 months the war without a war with the Soviet Union has quieted down. There i s even some hope that good may come of Eisenhower’s summit meeting in May with Premier Nikita Khrushchev. As a result of Eisenhower’s in- creasing dominance in the for- eign field, Herter seems to have retreated more into the back ground. Nothing has really hap- pened—in the sense of solutions —since Herter took office. We seem to be in a period of waiting, perhaps waiting to see what happens between Eisen hower and Khrushchev. But just because Herter is a mild and genial man he gives this impres sion, too: SUMMER JOES The following company will in. terview students for summer work Tuesday in the Placement Office- at its new location on the third floor of the YMCA: General Electric Co. will inter view juniors and seniors major ing in aeronautical, chemical, electrical, mechanical, and indus trial engineering who plan to do graduate work.
