Gov. Price Daniel put it this way in an official memoran
dum:
GREETINGS:
“The United Community Campaigns, frequently called
the United Fund or Community Chest Drive, deserve the sup
port of everyone.
“Many worthy activities benefit from this unified ap
proach, and the contributor has the added satisfaction of
knowing that whatever he or she gives will be used for the
greatest possible good.
“These coordinated efforts to raise operating funds for
local and national health, welfare and character building
agencies make fun-raising more efficient and equitable.
“THEREFORE, I as governor of Texas, do hereby desig
nate the months of September, October and November, 1960
as
UNITED COMMUNITY CAMPAIGNS MONTH
in Texas, and urge all the people of our state to participate
generously in the campaigns which are carried on in their
local communities.
“In official recognition thereof, I hereby affix my signa
ture to this.
Price Daniel,
Governor of Texas.”
In the College Station area, the United Chest drive will
be conducted the first two weeks in November.
The local area surpassed their goal of $13,150 last year
and, as a result, have boosted the 1960-61 goal by $2,000 to
$15,150. The boost is a vote of confidence and expectancy
in the citizens of College Station and the students of Texas
A&M to support this portion of the state-wide movement.
Dr. Dale Leipper, United Chest chairman, announced
the increase in the goal and disclosed that two new bene
factors have been added to the list: the Bryan Boy’s Club,
Inc. and the Bryan Committee on Alcholism.
The local chest drive indeed deserves the support of all.
As Gov. Price Dainel stated:
“ . . . whatever he or she gives will be used for the
greatest possible good.”

Editor,
The Battalion:
In Thursday’s Battalion you
printed a letter from Bob Bower
complaining about civilian stu
dents.
Well, I am in the Corps and
just about as avid as they come,
but I’ll have to argue with Bower.
I’ve found that 90 per cent of the
civilians will speak if spoken to.
After all, there is no reason for
them to speak first. If people in
the Corps would speak to them
as if they meant it, I’m sure they
would speak back.
They speak to me. When it
comes to speaking, there are lots
of people in the Corps who could
do better.
As far as Silver Taps goes, it
means a lot to me and to all
Texas A&M students and I’m not
going to worry about the few who
don’t attend. If they are not
Aggies and don’t want to be,
that’s their business as long as
they don’t interfere in Texas
A&M business.
If we would worry more about
being good students ourselves,
and speaking and meeting better,
and building a good Corps, Texas
A&M would be a lot better off.

civilian students around
campus are not true Aggies:
True, it isn’t much of an Aggie
that would miss a Silver Taps or
the Muster.
However, it still remains a fact
that the students in the Corps
do not try too hard to get along
with their (even though they
don’t think of them as such) fel
low Aggies. Just because a per
son does not wear a uniform, it
does not mean that he is not a
true Aggie in every sense of the
word.
Several of the civilian students
went to the Yell Practice last
week and there were very few
seniors in the Corps that were
there. How many of the other
classes in the Corps would have
gone to Yell Practice or the other
Texas A&M functions if they did
not have to?
For harmony, it takes both
sides working together to get
anything done. Therefore, I sug
gest that the Corps boys try to
get along with their fellow
Aggies,

Editor,

Mr. Pace, are you familiar with
this statement?
“It is not what a man wears
but how he wears it that makes
him a man.”
Must I also remind you of an
other phrase that says that “there
is a time and a place for every
thing.’,’
This summer while I was at
tending summer school—at Ag
gieland, of course—I saw a senior
cadet wearing his uniform, boots
and all. Was this an Aggie? I

do not think so. I think he was
an overgrown baby.
Behave like a man wherever
you go and that will let every
body know who you are.
Go ahead, Mr. Pace, pat your
self on your shoulder like the
Class of ’63 who could not wait
for anybody to praise their “out
standingness.”
From a psychological viewpoint
this is all right because one has
to think he is good to be good,
but from any other viewpoint,
this is not good.
People start thinking you are
conceited, snobbish, and many
other adjectives.

When Nikita Khrushchev says
“there is nothing that we desire
to seize in other countries” you
have to read it against the back
ground of his belief that, by the
terms of history itself, all coun
tries fundamentally belong to
communism anyway.
When he says “We shall never
start a war,” you have to read it
“except a justified war,” for that
concept is implicit in Communist
doctrine, in his rocket threats,
and has never been abrogated by
his talk of coexistence. Within
the concept, war is justfied
against anything which interferes
with Communist progress toward
world subjugation—provided it is
expedient.
When Khrushchev says with re
gard to Berlin “We do not mean
to advance any threats of any
kind,” he means “provided the
West agrees to get out.” Other
wise, he has said repeatedly, he
will abrogate the four-power
agreement, and end the occupa
tional rights of the West through
East German action. If the West
resisted East German ouster and
a war resulted, that would be the
West’s fault, according to his
queer way of thinking. He’s just
trying to persuade the West that
its honorable commitments and
its fundamental interests in Ger
many mean nothing. He wouldn’t
threaten anybody. Oh, no.
Khrushchev’s major objective
Sunday night in his broadcast in
terview seems to have been to

Khrushchev apparently realized
by that time that his great gam
ble for the control of the United
Nations had failed dismally, and
that his boorishness and his
threats, in Paris in May and again
at the United Nations, had
brought him nothing but con
demnation. He was out to spread
the butter of conciliation. Some-
times he controlled what seemed
to be brewing tantrums.
But his statement that “We
shall never start a war” came
after he had made several of the
threats he said he wouldn’t make.
He said he didn’t want to take
anything from anybody, but also fl
said “We will win, we‘will win."
And he wasn’t talking about a
medal for being good.

!'HOME SWEET HOMECOMING’’
A great number of people have been asking me lately, “What
is Homecoming?” but I have been so busy trying to find out
why my new sports car leaks that I haven’t had time to answer.
I am now pleased to report that I finally discovered why my
sports car leaks—I have been driving it upside down—and so
I am ready today to turn my attention to Homecoming.
Let’s begin with definitions. Homecoming is a weekend when
old grads return to their alma maters to watch a football game,
visit old classrooms and dormitories and inspect each other’s
bald spots.
The weekend is marked by the singing of old songs, the slap
ping of old backs and the frequent exchange of such greetings
as “Harry, you old polecat!” or “Harry, you old porcupine!”
or “Harry, you old rooster!” or “Harry, you old wombat!’!
As you can see, all old grads are named Harry.
It is not just old grads who behave with such liveliness during
Homecoming; the faculty also comports itself with unaccus
tomed animation. Teachers laugh and smile and pound backs
and keep shouting “Harry, you old Airedale!” This unscholarly
behavior is carried on in the hope that old grads, in a transport
of bonhomie will endow a new geology building.
The old grads, however, are seldom seduced. By game time
on Saturday their backs are so sore, their eyeballs so eroded,
their extremities so frayed, that it is impossible to get a kind
word out of them, much less a new geology building.
Even the football game does not improve their tempers.
“Hmmph!” they snort as the home team completes a 101-yard
march to a touchdown. “Do you call that football? Why, back
in my day, they’d have been over on the first down! By
George, football w'as football in those days—not this namby-
pamby girls’ game that passes for football today! Take a look
at that bench 50 substitutes sitting there. Why, in my day,
there were 11 men on a team and that was it. When you broke
a leg, they slapped a piece of tape on it and you went right back
in. Why, I remember the big game against State. Harry Siga-
foos, our star quarterback, was killed in the third quarter. I
mean, he was pronounced dead. But did that stop old Harry?
I\ ot on your tintype! Back in he went and kicked the winning
drop kick in the last four seconds of play, dead as he was. Back
in my day, they played football, by George!”
Everything, say the old grads, was better back in their day-
everything except one. Even the most unreconstructed of the
old grads has to admit that back in his day they never had a
smoke like Marlboro-never a cigarette with such a lot to like
-never a filter so easy drawing, a flavor so mild yet hearty, so
abundant, so bountiful-never a choice of flip-top box or soft
pack.
So old grads, young grads, and undergrads, why don’t you
settle back and have a full-flavored smoke? Try Marlboro, the
filtered cigarette with the unfiltered taste, and Homecoming
will be a happy occasion and the sun will shine and the air will
be filled with the murmur of wings and no man’s hand will be
raised against you. ,/ v
