INTERPRETING
Neutrals’ Push
Red Cold War
By J. M. ROBERTS
Associated Press News Analyst
The Soviet Union’s maneuver
for veto power over the United
Nations General Assembly ap
pears to have been a serious
mistake. Yet her economic war
against the West goes ahead un
checked and is even carried for
ward by others.
Many years ago the interna
tional Communists adopted a
fundamental belief that the road
to world conquest would wind
through the ruins of the Western
economic system.
At a postwar meeting in China,
a definite program was adopted
for cutting Europe off from its
traditional sources of raw mate
rials in Asia and Africa and thus
softening the colonial powers for
the final coup.
It was decided to ride the
horse of rising nationalism in
these areas, even when it ad
vanced beyond the hope of im
mediate political advantage for
communism. A wedge between
an underdeveloped nation and an
industrial nation, driven by any
one, was a feather in the Com
munist hat.
The Soviet Union fumbled in
her political approach to the Con
go. But politically the situation
has produced a serious condition
and the fall of a government in
Belgium to balance initial Com
munist slipups.
The latest killings of political
prisoners, by elements through
which the West hoped to restore
some order, again divide the So
viet’s opponents in the United
Nations and stir African sym
pathy for the pro-Communists.
Morocco is turning toward po
litical and economic ties with
other northern and western Af
rican states as against her long
association with France.
Native forces are working hard
to diminish British ties with new
nations which are taking various
steps toward independence this
year. In some areas the forces
of cooperation are being seriously
challenged by other native forces
determined merely to throw out
the whites, as in the Congo.
There is a possibility thut the
new Republic of South Africa
will be blackballed from the Com
monwealth, creating a serious
situation for vast British com
mercial interests there.
A war between Indonesia and
the Netherlands over West New
Guinea is always possible.
The Soviet Union, by dragging
the rebellious Algerian provision
al government into a political
position regarding the Congo,
has added another bit to the dif
ficulties of negotiations which
the Western world has hoped
would bind up the Freneh-Alger-
ian wounds.
Many of these situations are
little influenced by the Commu
nists. It’s just that the Reds
have a policy into which they fit,
as in Cuba. The showdown be
tween the Communists and the
weak new governments can come
later.

Look this way this Spring . . . sliver-slim in H-I-S
Piper slacks! Smooth and snug, they’re tailored to set
low on the hips and ignore a belt (new hidden slide-tabs

cuffless. In a great collection of smart spring colors.

read your very splendid editorial

“Operation Abolition.”

know that they have young men
In a recent letter to the editor
from the president of the Corpus
Christi exes club, the fact was
brought to light that the exes
had been given no official notifi
cation of any sort concerning the
proposed name change issue. Mr.
W. C. Lonquist went on to say
that there was much bitter feel
ing among these active Aggies
due to the fact that the powers-
that-be had not even seen fit to
inform them of the issue, much
less ask their opinion.
This attitude of the present ad
ministration is in indicitive, I
feel, of their overall plans for
our school. It would seem, with
a little investigation, that the

stress is laid upon conformity to
the actions and attitudes of the
other universities about the
country. Apparently one admin
istrative head in particular feels
that being in a high administra
tive position of a coeducational
university will further his polit

an all-male military college.
These administrative heads are
bolstered in their conformity

who are doing their best to stamp
out all forms of individuality
and free thinking in the corps.

be the use of the military con

If we, the students of Texas
A&M, remain complacent, these
men will accomplish their aims
and Texas A&M will become TSU
and fall into line behind the other
coeducational universities in the
country.
A powerful weapon in our fight
to save Texas A&M is the as yet
untapped resource of the Aggie
exes. These men can wield great
authority if through no other
means than their monetary con
tributions to our school.
It is undoubtedly because of

WORDS: THEIR CAUSE AND CURE
Today let us take up the subject of etymology (or entomology,
as it is sometimes called) which is the study of word origins
(or insects, as they are sometimes called).
Where are word origins (insects) to be found? Well sir, some
times words are proper names that have passed into the language.
Take, for instance, the words used in electricity: ampere was
named after its discoverer, the Frenchman Andre Marie Ampere
(1775-1836); similarly ohm was named after the German G. S.
Ohm (1781-1854), watt after the Scot James Watt (1736-1819),
and bulb after the American Fred C. Bulb (1843-1912).
There is, incidentally, quite a poignant little story about Dir.
Bulb. Until Bulb’s invention, all illumination was provided by
gas, which was named after its inventor Milton T. Gas who,
strange to tell, had been Bulb’s roommate at Cal Tech! In fact,
strange to tell, the third man sharing the room with Bulb and
Gas was also one whose name burns bright in the annals of
illumination—Walter Candle!
The three roommates were inseparable companions in col
lege. After graduation all three did research in the problem of
artificial light, which at this time did not exist. All America
used to go to bed with the chickens. In fact, many Americans
were chickens.
Well sir, the three comrades—Bulb, Gas, and Candle-
promised to be friends forever when they left school, but success,
alas, spoiled all that. First Candle invented the candle, got
rich, and forgot his old friends. Then Gas invented gas, got rich,
bankrupted Candle, and forgot his old friends. Then Bulb in
vented the bulb, got rich, bankrupted Gas, and forgot his
old friends.
Candle and Gas, bitter and impoverished at the age respec
tively of 75 and 71, went to sea as respectively the world’s
oldest and second oldest cabin boy. Bulb, rich and grand, also
went to sea, but he went in style—as a first-class passenger on
luxury liners.
Well sir, strange to tell, all three were aboard the ill-fated
Lusitania when she was sunk in the North Atlantic. And,
strange to tell, when they were swimming for their lives after the
shipwreck, all three clambered aboard the same dinghy!
Well sir, chastened and made wiser by their brush with death,
they fell into each other’s arms and wept and exchanged for
giveness and became fast friends all over again.
For three years they drifted in the dinghy, shaking hands and
singing the Cal Tech rouser all the while. Then, at long last,
they spied a passing liner and were taken aboard.
They remained fast friends for the rest of their days, which,
I regret to report, were not many, because the liner which picked
them up was the Titanic.
What a pity that Marlboros were not invented during the
lifetimes of Bulb, Gas, and Candle! Had there been Marlboros,
these three friends never would have grown apart because they
would have known how much, despite their differences, they still
had in common. I mean to say that Marlboros can be lit by
candle, by gas, or by electricity, and no matter how you light
them, you always get a full-flavored smoke, a filter cigarette
with an unfiltered taste that makes anyone—including Bulb,
Gas, and Candle—settle back and forget anger and strife and
smile the sweet smile of friendship on all who pass!

Another peaceful smoke from the makers of Marlboro is the
brand-new unfiltered king-size Philip Morris Commander.
