THE BATTALION Page 2 College Station, Texas Wednesday, November 16,1960 CADET SLOUCH by Jim Earle] BATTALION EDITORIALS Sanction, Backing Every year over 900 Texas A&M students participate in some minor sports activity. These students are active members of the pistol team, the wrestling team, the badminton team, the water polo team, or any of the six other organized lesser sport teams and clubs on the Texas A&M campus. Each year these clubs and teams travel hundreds of miles throughout the state to participate in meets with similar organizations from other colleges. And the Aggies usually make an accreditable showing on these trips. Up until now, they have received neither money nor sanc tion from Texas A&M. At present, aid is obtained from the Memorial Student Center and amounts to less than $1 per student per year. The Exchange Store Advisory Board alloted $1,500 for lesser sports at its November meeting, but even this added money doesn’t come close to meeting the needs of trips, equipment, uniforms and supplies. Sanction and backing from Texas A&M is very much needed if these teams are to continue to represent the school in the manner they have in the past.

Council rally Tuesday night call ed for the impeachment and ar rest of a federal judge who or dered integration in New Orleans. At an angry Citizen Council meeting in New Orleans, a peti tion was circled calling for the impeachment of U. S. Dist. Judge J. Skelly Wright. The council is a staunt segre gationist groups A group of white mothers with children in one of the two schools integrated by four Negro first graders told the rally a march would be staged Wednesday morning on the New Orleans School Board office. The board, acting under federal order, au thorized integration. Meanwhile, in the capital at Ba ton Rmige, Rep. W. K. Brown told a special legislative session, Judge Wright should be jailed.

ROBERTS Associated Press News Analyst The Soviet Union’s effort to make her money appear as good or even better than that of the United States has fallen on the world’s deaf ear. Insofar as financial circles are concerned, Soviet rubles aren’t worth anything, and as a curren cy they are merely a curiosity outside the U. S. S. R. There is no trade in them, and no commer cial attempt to evaluate them. Countries which buy from the Soviets evaluate the goods against world prices, except in the satellites which are forced to pay Soviet prices, and pay in barter. Soviet loans to underde veloped countries are on the same basis. In the U. S. S. R., the ruble’s Sound Off Editor, The Battalion: I would like to see editorial comment appear in The Battal ion on the practical nature of the Bonfire. I know that this is indeed a grand Aggie tradition and that it makes woodsmen out of all those participating. But would it be too much to suggest that if even a portion of the wood burn ed to ashes each year was cut into size for firewood, many needy families in our own backyard, the Bryan-College Station area, could be supplied with wood for the winter which they normally can’t afford? If all this effort has to be spent on building a Bonfire, why not put some of it to good use? Jim Co Van, 62 Social Calendar Be perspicacious!

The following organizations will meet on campus: Tonight The Civil Engineering Wives Club will meet at 8 p. m. in the South Solarium of the YMCA. Mrs. J. Gordon Gay, religious co ordinator for Texas A&M, will present slides and a talk based on her recent visit to the Holy Land. All members and faculty wives from the Civil Engineering De partment are invited. The Aggie Wives Bridge Club will meet at 7:30 p. m. in the Assembly Room of the Memorial Student Center. Thursday The Texas Society of Profes sional Engineers will meet at 7:30 p. m. in the Assembly Room of the Texas Highway Department. On the agenda this week is a tour of the International Shoe Co. Plant in Bryan. The California Hometown Club will hold a meeting in the Mem orial Student Center at 7:30 p. m. The Ft. Bend County Home town Club will meet in Room 223 of the Academic Building at 7:30 p. m. value is fixed by decree. In 1950 there was an announced gold val ue, in an effort to make it appear that the Soviet Union was going on the gold standard, but nobody, in or out of the Soviet Union, can convert rubles into gold. She pays her international bills in gold, not in rubles, and no banker outside the Iron Curtain — where they cannot help it—would carry a Soviet balance in rubles. Incidentally, New York finan cial experts estimate that the U. S. S. R., in the last half de cade, has been paying out be tween 150 and 250 million dollars worth of gold annually to meet her trade deficits outside ■ the Iron Curtain. Inside the Soviet Union, Mon day’s -effort to peg the ruble as better than equal to the dollar, making one new ruble worth about 10 old ones, may have more effect. France discovered several years ago that a similar opera tion tended to increase respect for the franc and so enhanced its value at home. Experts believe there is a psy chological result from giving peo ple fewer monetary units which will buy as much as 10 times more than the old unit.
