T Page 2 THE BATTALION College Station, Texas Friday, November 18, 19G0 CADET SLOUCH by Jim Earle BATTALION EDITORIALS For Minor Sports The Student Senate last night threw its hat into the ring. ■ The Senate agreed to support the fight being waged by several minor sport teams for sanction and backing by Texas A&M. If sanction is given, it would rpean varsity teams, including the rifle and pistol teams, the wrestling team, the gymnastics team, and five other active ath letic teams would represent Texas A&M at meets with other colleges and universities. Support like this could be a primary factor in minor sports’ effort to bring to Texas A&M a more formidable athletic pro gram. If other campus organizations would join the Student Senate, it could help insure sanction and backing for minor sports. \. <S<1i METEOgOLOOIt^L MEWj X : U- u * * * A General Order It’s Bonfore Week again on the Texas A&M campus and Ag gies are diligently constructing another chapter in a series of the world’s largest bonfire. This year should be no differ ent from others in a long pro cession of Texas A&M bonfires. The blaze will doubtless rise high up the 100-foot center pole; work on the project will rage from : dawn to dusk over the weekend; and the bonfire may gtill be smoldering when the Thanksgiving recess is concluded a week after it gets the torch. But there is another factor about the Bonfire Week that may also remain constant this year: * ! Profanity and swearing are somewhat commonplace on the Texas A&M campus but during “The general is sorry to be informed that the foolish and wicked practice of profane cursing and swearing, a vice heretofore little known in an American Army, is growing into fashion. He hopes the officers will, by example as well as influence, endeavor to check it and that both they and the men will reflect that we can have little hope of the blessing of Heaven on our arms if we insult it by our impeity and fol ly. Added to this, it is a vice so mean and low, without any temptation, that every man of sense and character detests and despises it.” Theme for Special Service ‘Come...Let Us Give Thanks ’ Bonfire Week it reaches a pin nacle of vulgarity. It seems that all participants feel that swearing is conducive to Bonfire work. It would be folly to believe that all swearing and profanity could be eliminated while work ing on such a prodigious project. But it could be lessened. General George Washington may have best expressed these sentiments some 184 years ago in New York in a general order to his troops. The General en couraged the men to check their vulgarity. You may say this approach is childish. But this is what Wash ington asserted in the General Order to his' troops almost two centuries ago. Read the con cluding sentence closely.

ROBERTS Associated Press News Analyst The effort of the United States to reduce her expenses abroad may nudge some of her allies into greater realization of the need for economic cooperation, but it may also scare them right out of their shoes. Is the United States in so much financial trouble, they are bound to ask, that she is forced into some pretty drastic meas ures to save a mere billion dol lars a year? Of course a billion dollars looks a lot bigger from Europe and Asia than it does from here. President Eisenhower is em- phazing that it does not mean lowering the flag. Most of the nations can re member when they were the one§ on the short end of the balance of payments teeter-totter and will appreciate the American po sition, at least to a degree. But they will also remember the “offshore” purchase plan where by the United States bought from them, and then loaned or gave them back, their postwar military products. Now that the United States is preparing to stock its post exchanges abroad from home in stead of buying local products it’^ going to look like pretty small potatoes. So will the bringing home of families of men in the military and diplomatic services, men who were promised they could have their families with them on their foreign tours. There is real danger that such actions, insetad of producing a net gain the world’s faith in the dollar, will only raise more ques tion about the nation’s financial position. The other side of the coin is the hard fact that the United States is sending abroad, for all purposes, about $4 billion a year more than she gets back—and that this deficit just about rep resents the cost of her foreign aid program. While she takes her losses, her former enemies are taking prof its from economies based essen tially on her postwar help, and her long-time allies are doing nicely, too.
