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.

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.
