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.

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.

“Come ... Let us give thanks.”
By J. M. 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.
