THE BATTALION page 2 College Station, Texas Thursday, January 5, 19G1 INTERPRETING Kennedy Thought Favoring Break CADET SLOUCH By J. M. ROBERTS Associated Press News Analyst Although the incoming John F. Kennedy administration was not directly involved in the decision to break diplomatic relations with Cuba, one phrase of President Eisenhower’s statement comes very close to the “moral support” of Fidel Castro’s enemies for which Kennedy called duiing the campaign. In it may be found a clue as to what the so-far-silent Kennedy thinks of the U.S. action. Kennedy criticized Republican handling of the Cuban crisis and suggested the United States should support Castro’s opponents —presumably those in the United States as well as in Cuba and other parts of Latin America. Later, recalling inter-American agreements against intervention, he said he meant moral support. In explaining the break in re lations, Eisenhower expressed his hope and conviction that normal relations could be resumed in the not too distant future. That represents a public ex- ' pression of hope from one of the ’ world’s most powerful figures that the Castro regime will come .to an end. Since it is a military regime, it is hardly likely that its ,end can be brought about except through application of at least some force, over and beyond the .. economic collapse which many ob servers consider overdue. Castro, having forced his coun try into the last steps of an eco nomic reorientation toward the Communists — the United States was the seventh American nation to break relations — will soon have to find some means of cov ering the checks he so often writes without even filling out the stubs. His trade deals with the Communists are mostly barter, and heavily involve the import of arms which nobody can eat. A break in relations does not mean a break in trade, but usual ly reduces it because of its psy chological effect on credit and the necessity of private business working through third party gov ernments. The United States al ready had cut off most Cuban trade. Others will follow. The prospects of Castro get ting enough money to keep going seem slim. Only a few hours before the break in relations the Castro gov ernment broke a 25-year record of meeting its obligations on time, defaulting on a $2,366,529 payment to the Manufacturers Trust Co. on a long-term loan. Two years ago people in the United States not only hoped but believed that Castro would set Cuba on a new and happier course. Dictatorship merely re placed dictatorship. And now the dictator has forced a break with his most powerful neighbor, the neighbor, which started Cuba to ward nationhood. It all seems so stupid.

Second ‘Christian Herita^ AR Thought’ Series Revealed ? A second quarter of courses in the area of “Christian Heritage and Thought,” begins Monday in the experimental Lay School of Christian Studies being conduct ed by campus chaplains. A first quarter series on advanced theolo gy was completed in December. Purpose of the lay school is to give laymen an opportunity to study Biblical and theological fields on a more advanced level than could normally be done with in the framework of local congre gations. The growing need for theologically-orientated laymen in all professions has long been felt in continental Europe, and mas sive lay schools have become ma jor annual events, particularly in Germany. One national church body has already made inquiry regarding the local school in an attempt to learn more of what is being done for lay theological training. Courses Offered Courses to be offered in the quarter from Jan. 29-Mar. 9 will include the following: “The Ear ly Church Fathers,” a historical study of the great leaders of the apostolic church; to be taught Thursdays at St. Thomas Church by Pastor Alfred Johnson, Epis copal chaplain. “The Existentialist Posture,” a study of the basic approach and teachings of the existentialist school of theology; to be taught at St. Thomas Church on Thurs days by Pastor John Combs and Intern Bruce Felker of the Wes ley Foundation. On Monday evenings, at Our Saviour’s Luthern Church, two courses will be offered: “The Mind of the Reformation.” a stu dy of the background mid basic documents of the Reformation period, to be taught by Pastor Mel Bulgerin and Intern George Fry of the Lutheran Student Foundation. “Protestant Christianity,” a study of theological movements within Protestantism since the Reformation, will be taught at the same time and location by •. y.-** - i I ■ i i .

First off, it is the only year since 1951 which begins and ends with the Figure 1. Of course, when it comes to Figure 1’s, 1901, though distinguished, can hardly compare with 1911, which, most people agree, had not just two, but three Figure I’s! This, I’ll wager, is a record that will stand for at least two hundred years! 1911 was, incidentally, notable for many other things. It was, for example, the year in which the New York Giants played the Philadelphia Athletics in the World Series. As we all know, the New York Giants have since moved to San Francisco and the Philadelphia Athletics to Kansas City. There is a movement afoot at present to move Chicago to Phoenix—the city, not the baseball team. Phoenix, in turn, would of course move to Chicago. It is felt that the change would he broadening for residents of both cities. Many Chicago folks, for example, have never seen an iguana. Many Phoenix folks, on the other hand, have never seen a frostbite. There are, of course, certain difficulties attending a municipal shift of this size. For instance, to move Chicago you also have to move Lake Michigan. This, in itself, presents no great prob lem, what with modern scientific advances like electronics and the French cuff. But if you will look at your map, you will find that Lake Michigan is connected to all the other Great Lakes, which iu turn arc connected to the St. Lawrence Seaway, which -PRODUCE- Yellow Skinned ONIONS CABBAGE Large Head LETTUCE Red Delicious APPLES 1-lb. 5c .2-lb. 9c .. 15c lb. 17c SPECIALS GOOD THURSDAY AFTERNOON, FRIDAY, AND SATURDAY, JANUARY 5 - 6 FOOD MARKET CHARLIE'S NORTfi GATE -WE DELIVER- COLLEGE STATION in turn is connected to the Atlantic Ocean. You start dragging Lake Michigan to Phoenix and, willy-nilly, you’ll be drugging all that»other stuff too. This would make our British allies terribly cross, and I can’t say as 1 blame them. I mean, put yourself in their place. What if, for example, you were a British workingman who had been saving and scrimping all year for a summer holiday at Brighton jBeach, and then when you got to Brighton Beach there wasn’t any ocean? There you’d lie with your inner tube and snorkel and nothing to do all day but dance the Lambeth Walk. This, you may be sure, would not make you NATO-minded! ^ I appeal most earnestly to the residents of Chicago and 1 hoenix to reconsider. I know it’s no bowl of cherries going through life without ever seeing an iguana or a frostbite, but I ask you—Chicagoans, Phoenicians—is it too big a price to pay for preserving the unity of the free world? I am sure that if you search your hearts you will make the right decision, for aU of us-whether we live in frostbitten Chicago, iguana-ridden I hoenix, or narrow-lapelled New Haven—are first and foremost Americans! But I digress. We were speaking of 1961, our new year. And new it is! Ihcre is, for one tiling, new pleasure in Marlboro Cigarettes. How can there be new pleasure in Marlboros when that fine, flavorful blend, that clean easy draw filter, have not been altered? The answer is simple: each time you light a Marlboro, it is like the first time. The flavor is such that age cannot wither nor custom stale. Marlboro never palls, never jades, never dwindles into dull routine. Each pack, each dgaTctte, each puff, makes you glad all over again that you are a Marlboro smoker! S °, Marlbor os in hand, let us march confidently into 1961. May good fortune attend our ventures! May happiness reign! May Chicago and Phoenix soon recover from their disappoint ment and join our bright cavalcade into a brave tomorrow! © 1901 Max Shulmaa * * * makers of Marlboro and of the new unaltered king-size / hilip Moms Commander join Old Max in adding their good iiisnes lor a happy and peaceful 1961.
