i The party planned in Dallas by the Dallas A&M Club for the Corps Trip the weekend of Nov. 5 promises to be an outstanding weekend. In fact, the festivities should be an excellent example' of the traditional Texas A&M statement: ‘We may not win the game, but we’ll win the party.” However, there is another aspect to the party scheduled for the Dallas Memorial Coliseum that makes its success somewhat imperative. Each year the Dallas A&M Club offers a scholarship to a graduate of a high school in the Dallas area and sends him to Texas A&M. The scholarship for the coming year is directly concerned with the party since all proceeds from the affair in the Dallas Memorial Coliseum will go to this scholarship fund. Charlie Howard, head of the planning committee for the party and a member of the Class of ’48, disclosed this fact while making arrangements on the Texas A&M campus yesterday. Howard also pointed out that the party will be a closed event, directed solely at Texas A&M students, Former Stu dents and students at Texas Women’s University. We came to A&M in September of 1959, weak in will power and in mental strength or stamina. We lacked confidence in ourselves and we had little faith in our fellow man. Maybe the “new army” I went through as a fresh man wasn’t too tough compared to years gone by, but it certainly built our character and helped put us on the road to better manhood. Therefore, if the party is a success, the students at both Texas A&M, Texas Women’s University and the Former Students will have had at least an indirect hand in sending a deserving high school graduate to Texas A&M. “ ... actually you’re lucky to get a ‘Dear John’ now—they usually come when football season is over and your money is gone. Maybe “new army” ran off 500 of our freshman buddies, but it also produced 1,000 of the finest men anywhere. Quite a combination: a Corps Trip, a football game, a fJV r rf 1 PPl?p ir rT]\f(Z party that any other on the Corps Trips and a hand in aiding a scholarship fund. It would be a most appropriate party to win. Just the Beginning French Riots Traditional? But Not Against BeGualle We, along with every sopho more here, are proud of our freshman year. We only wish every male in this nation could gain the same experience, confi dence and knowledge that all Texas A&M men have received. Due to the great success of last year’s United Chest campaign in College Station, the budget committee has set this year’s goal $2,000 higher than last year. If this year’s goal is reached, it will provide $6,750 for youth work, $3,950 for charity and welfare, $2,700 for public health and $1,750 for community development and recreation. In addition to the well-established agencies, two new and vitally important organizations have come into being. The Boys’ Clubs of Bryan, Inc, and the Bryan Committee on Alcoholism, Inc. are included in this year’s total. Last year’s success speaks well for the people of College Station in that they are willing to help the community pro gress. Even before the drive was officially over, the total collected had reached the proposed goal. This year, the 15 agencies actually requested $19,822. It would be a great tribute if this goal could be reached instead of the revised one. So when the members of the United Chest knock on your door, don’t hesitate to contribute. Last year’s tremen dous success proved the willingness of many people to give to help their fellow man. This is the time to begin planning. . .just when the real work is about to begin.

Feature Editor Larry Smith - Assistant Sports Editor Russell Brown - Sports Writer Jiui Reed and Ken Coppage Photographers By J. M. ROBERTS Associated Press News Analyst The riot is such a traditional form of public expression in France that outsiders frequently look upon them with complacency. A riot against the policies of President Charles de Gaulle, great national hero and strong man who has held the country together during three threatening crises in 20 years, is another thing. So is a French government which invokes economic' sanctions against citizens, writers and broadcasters who disagree with it over continuation of the war in Algeria. More and more conscientious objectors have been deserting from the French army to protest the war and the failure of De Gaulle to put through his an nounced policy of self-determina tion. A growing group of intellec tuals announced support for the right to desert in such cases. This group has been barred from government - owned communica tions media. It’s all a part of the six-year battle over whether Algeria is an integral part of France, is en titled to freedom under an Arab government, or whether self- determination will mean coopera tions between the Algerians and the French in Algeria as a part of Metropolitan France or of the French Union as De Gaulle hopes. Right-wingers merely want subjugation of the Algerian rebels. Left-wingers support an end to the war and a settlement recognizing the 9-to-l priority of the native stock. Gaulle took] over in an effort to end an economic and political crisis which gripped the country because of the involvement of half a million men in Algeria. De Gaulle governs without re course to Parliament, although parliamentary forms are still pre served, and it is now meeting to) make itself heard. So far, De Gaulle has managed to preserve democracy while cur ing a good many governmental ills.
