Wednesday - Thursday - Friday “ICE PALACE” with Robert Ryan Plus “KIDNAPPED” with Peter Finch By JAMES MARLOW Associated Press News Analyst WASHINGTON — The world won’t be the same any more. That’s the one thing which came through clear after three weeks of uproar at the United Nations. That body started in business 15 years ago with 51 nations. Last week it added its 99th. Those 48 new members include not only neutrals but former co lonial territories which are anx ious to come abreast of the 20th century in a rush. If they don’t get help from this country, they can try Russia. They can play the two giants off against each other. And each for its own sake will have to do business with them. In these next 15 years the balance of world power may be settled for a cen tury. It would be nice to think that the neutrals and former colonial nations might team up to keep the two great powers—and later the third great power, Red China HOLIDAY Wednesday, October 12, 1960 being a Holiday, in ob servance of Columbus Day, the undersigned will observe that date as a Holiday and not be open for business.

More practically they will pro bably be guided by economic needs and help and military pres sure, following a course which nations have always followed— what’s in it for me? Premier Khrushchev is aware of the long struggle ahead. For whatever his reason he was still confident over the weekend after demanding much and getting nothing in this session of the United Nations. “We will win, we will win,” he said, and although “today we, the Socialist states are in a minority tomorrow we prophesy you the West will be in the minority.” The Communist world right now may be planning adventures undreamed of by the West for Khruschev warned that unless he gets what he wants in the United Nations ‘we will rely on our own strength.” In its earlier days the United Nations, relying mainly on the support and leadership of the United States, was able to stop Communist ambitions in Iran, Greece, Korea. Those were the days when This country was ahead in nuclear de velopment. The United States then was indisputably the world’s No. 1 power- financially and mil itarily, with its enormous indus trialization and its monopoly of the atom bomb—but this country and Russia were partners. Today Russia challenges the world leadership of the United States. The fact that Khruschev lost, every round in the U.N. ses sion this year would indicate the majority opinion of mankind is still on the American side. The great challenge in these next 15 years is to keep that opinion on the same side. This will almost certainly require new tactics, new strategy, new atti tudes in this country, new under standings of other people’s needs.

I should, therefore, like to pose another question: What has hap pened to the “Texas A&M Spirit?” Even as a civilian, I have al ways taken up for the Corps, and will continue to do so in the future. I attended all Yell Prac tices and Corps Trips and help with the building of our Bon fire. But lately I have been great ly concerned by comments I have heard over the campus. On speaking to one student who was at one time on a staff in the Corps of Cadets besides holding many other honors, he told me there was a time when he would think nothing of travel ing a thousand miles to see an Aggie game. Now he hated to walk across the campus to see one. A Texas A&M graduate now instructing on the campus com plained of being rudely spoken to when passed by freshmen. A Texas A&M athlete said, “Why put out the effort when there is no more spirit left?” And a secretary working on the campus voiced her resent ment after freshmen continually passed her on the campus without speaking. Is this the Spirit we are sup posed to be so famous for? What is happening to Texas A&M and all it had stood for over the years. Lest we forget, let us re member that we owe it to those who preceded us to fight for our school with everything we have. And what of those coming af ter us? I met a young boy in New York this summer who told me his brother was in Texas. When I asked him where, he stat ed boldly: “Why he’s a freshman at the greatest school in the world— Texas A&M. And I’m going there too one of these days.” Dont you think we as Aggies owe him and others like him something ?
