V THE BATTALION CADET SLOUCH Page 2 College Station, Texas Wednesday, October 26, 19G0 r by Jim Earle BATTALION EDITORIALS Another Look The Texas Aggie Band could accomplish several things for Texas A&M if they went to Washington to the President’s inauguration. Let’s again review some of these points: It would be an outstanding honor for them, since they would be the only Texas college or university band there. The name of Texas A&M would be on the air and in the eyes of many people as they watched the inaugural parade. The prestige and public relations the men of the Band could carry with them could do Texas A&M an inestimable amount of good. And what are the negative points of view? They lack some $3,000 in order to cover their expenses. They will miss some review for the final examinations. It would be a great expenditure of time for them, and the results might be hard to measure in terms of immediate bene fit. Is it worth it? The Battalion says ‘yes’. Last for Seniors Now is the time to start thinking about it. The time of Midnight Yell Practice is nearing and it will be interesting to note if the conduct of the students will im prove over the antics of the previous one. As many recall, the actions at the Midnight Yell Practice prior to the Texas Christian University game here two weeks ago left much to be desired. Texas A&M students displayed a genuine lack of social courtesy. Midnight Yell Practice has always been a rather rowdy affair and the one this coming Friday before the University of Arkansas game shouldn’t be an exception, ^ut a line has to be drawn somewhere. Perhaps the Class of ’61, with whom the responsibility actually lies, can draw that line at their last Midnight Yell Practice as seniors. “I bet I’m th’ only guy in the Corps who’s combat hoots come over his knees.” INTERPRETING Leaks Require Job Interviews | Survey Releases The following firm will interview graduating seniors Thursday: Convair of Fort Worth will in terview graduating seniors with degrees in aeronautical engineer ing, civil engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineer ing nuclear engineering (BS, MS PhD), mathematics and physics (MS, PhD). Read Battalion Classifieds lememl&i By J. M. ROBERTS Associated Press News Analyst So many leaks have occurred about the surveys of American prestige abroad that the United States will now be required to publish them just to keep people from thinking they are worse than they are. Judging from unofficial re ports, the last one doesn't make very good propaganda. A general idea in the free world that the United States is militarily infer ior to the Soviet Union is danger ous whether it is correct or not.

One thing people would like to know is whether the previous sur veys show ups and downs, and whether the foreign concept of American military power has shown any tendency to go up and down along with political pres tige. Did the surveyors ask merely about the United States, or was there a tabulation, too, of the ef fectiveness of her mutual aid program, whereby billions, of dol lars of her own military produc tion has been allotted for use in an emergency by other nations ? This, too, is a definite part of the United States defense pos ture. If there is doubt among the free world nations as to the U. S. defense posture, is there a factor in it involving doubt of their own intentions ? i r m k imam smi m •; • ••• Released thru OEI United Artists QUEEN NOW SHOWING Burt Lancaster In “JIM THORPE ALL AMERICAN” & Victor Mature In “CHIEF CRAZY HORSE” CORPS SENIORS and MILITARY STAFFS Aggieland Portrait Schedule CORPS SENIORS AND OUTFIT FIRST SERGEANTS will have their portrait made for the “Aggie land ’61” according to the fol lowing schedule.

We are asking the help of the Aggies—we need their help very much. During the football season, es pecially at the games, we are prone to be very careless and just in excitement throw our trash anywhere. The Athletic Depait- ment has provided drums for the trash around the concession stands — various organizations have donated receptacles around the city. Please use them and think of the groundsmen who have to clean up after the game. It takes two-and-one-half days. Mrs. Edward F.
