Pag# 2 THE BATTALION College Station, Texas Tuesday, February 28, 1961 CADET SLOUCH by Jim Earle INTERPRETING K’s Coexistance Meeting Its Goal? By J. M. ROBERTS Associated Press News Analyst The United States and her al lies are constantly running as says to determine just what Pre mier Khrushchev means by peace ful coexistence. There’s a good chance that he has what he wants right now. Under this theory Khrushchev is proceeding at home with the effort to equal the United States in agricultural and industrial ppwer, trying to convince newly emerging nations by example that Communism offers the best possibilities for rapid economic advancement. Abroad, the Soviets are putting on the pressure designed to show that the United Nations, and the free world alliances which oper ate under permission of its char ter, do not offer the best bul wark behind which former colon ial areas may pursue independ ence and self-reliance. Having formally eschewed mo rality, any form of pressure, any form of lie, comes handy to the Communist grist mill. One trouble Khrushchev has is trying to juggle the long-term co-existence campaign with the necessity of taking advantage of current opportunities as in Af- ricay Latin America and South east Asia. Recognizing that he overplay ed his hand in his latest at tempt to undercut the United Na tions, he is now making a new approach to the uncommitted na tions which refused to back him on that point. He seeks to play on their new sense of importance and their desires for peace by suggesting that they sidetrack the United Nations and them selves take over in the Congo. In this he relies on recognition, already shown by the Western powers which as individuals have kept out of the Congo mess, that the Congolese will deal most readily with kinfolk. And the Soviet Union has made sonle progress in influencing some of those kinfolk. But the key nation among those uncommitted is India. Prime Min ister Nehru has believed for years that a neutral India would eventually earn important profit as a peacemaker. The Soviet Union would very much like to play on this hope now. But Nehru has learned a great deal about Soviet intentions in the last few years, and about how to pursue his own policies without getting tangled in other people’s strings. The neutrals are now a strong force in the United Nations. They give indications of recognizing the Soviet will-o-the-wisp when they see it, although they are not talking out loud about their discoveries. Individually, they squirm only when the finger of nonpeaceful coexistence points directly at them, as it will if peaceful co existence gives Khrushchev enough time.

I don’t know what that symbol represents, but they’re painting it on just about every thing.” (Editor’s note: It has been de cided by the staff of The Battal ion that any letters received af ter Thursday, Mar. 1, concern ing the film Operation Abolition will not be printed. The staff feels that the issue has been suf ficiently discussed, pro and con, by all who have desired to do so. There are currently a number of letters on hand which are con cerned with the film and which will be printed.) The Fact Remains Editor, The Battalion: Just what is truth? What is freedom? What is common sense? What is reality? During the past few weeks, a few “truth-seekers,” “gnat- strainers” or “camel-swallowers” have been wasting their time and energy arguing the pros and con’s of truth and freedom con- cerning the film Operation Abol ition. First, some people have char ged that the House Un-American Activities Committee exists in vi olation of absolute freedom. Well, Fly there. it's faster by far! DALLAS Lt. 11 01 A.M. 6:11 P..W.

BILL HICKLIN Joe Callicoatte EDITOR Sports Editor Sound what is absolute freedom? Can a theory of absolute freedom be practically and successfully ap plied? No! If we lived in ab solute freedom we would not be compelled to obey any laws, to pay any taxes, or to conform to any social or moral standards. There would be no such thing as a traitor or treason in the Uni ted States if we practiced abso lute freedom. Second, one or two anonymous sources have said that the film was a forgery on celluloid. (Per haps Mr. Anonymous is a Com munist sympathizer).

Well, so what? Every thing we read or see is edited, dramatized, or prejudiced to some extent. But the fact remains! The riots and demonstrations did occur! The activities were Communist inspired! Students and adults were duped with an absolute freedom ideology into hamper ing action by our government in vestigating the activities of an organization or organizations whose ultimate purpose is the ut ter destruction of America and all that it represents! Is it go ing to be necessary for Russia to drop a bomb or start shooting to wake up the American people to the fact that we are at war with Communism ? What is the truth? The truth is that the majority of the peo ple in the United States do not know the truth about Commun ism; what it stands for; what its aims and objectives are; and how it is achieving its objectives. What is freedom ?

What is common sense and re ality? Common sense is the awareness of the handwriting on the wall; that in reality Com munism already ha sits foot in the door, and once it gets in the house it will ultimately destroy it from within.

WANT AK Onfenpe with MaxShukin {Author of “/ Was a Teen-age Dwarf," “The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis,” etc.) ‘LOVE IN REVERSE” They met. His heart leapt. “I love you,” he cried. “Me, too, hey,” she cried. “Tell me,” he cried, “are you a girl of expensive tastes?’’ “No, hey,” she cried, “I am a girl of simple tastes.” “Good,” he cried, “for my cruel father sends me an allowance barely large enough to support life.” “Money does not matter to me,” she cried. “My tastes are simple, my wants are few. Just take me riding in a long, new, yellow convertible and I am content.” “Goodbye,” lie cried, and ran away as fast as his chubby little legs could carry him, for he had no convertible, nor the money to buy one, nor the means to get the money, short of picking up his stingy father by the ankles and shaking him till his wallet fell out. He knew he must forget this girl but, lying on his pallet at the dormitory, whimpering and moaning, he knew he could not. At last an idea came to him: though he did not have the money to buy a convertible, perhaps he had enough to rent one! Hope reborn, he rushed at once to an automobile rental company and rented a yellow convertible for $10 down plus lOp a mile, and with many a laugh and cheer drove away to pick up the girl. “Oh, goody,” she said when she saw the cqr. “This suits my simple tastes to a ‘T’. Come, let us speed over rolling highways and through bosky dells.” And away they drove. All that day and night they drove and finally, tired but happy, they parked high on a windswept hill. “Marlboro?” he said. “Yum yum,” she said. They lit up. They puffed with deep contentment. “You know,” he said, “you are like a Marlboro—mild and fresh and relaxing.” “But there is a big difference between Marlboro and me,” she said, “because I do not have a Selectrate filter nor do I come in soft pack or flip-top box.” They Laughed. They kissed. He screamed. “What is it, my dear,” she cried, alarmed. “Look at the speedometer,” he said. “We have driven 200 miles and this car costs 10j£ a mile and I hdve only $20 left.’! “But that’s exactly enough,” she said. “Yes,” he said, “but w-e still have to drive home.” They fell into a profound gloom. He started the motor and backed out of the parking place. “Hey, look!” she said. “The speedometer doesn’t move when you’re backing up.” He looked. It was true. “Eureka!” he cried. “That solves my problem. I will drive home i|i reverse. Then no more miles will register on the speedometer and I will have enough money to pay!” “I think that’s a marvelous idea,” she said, and she was right. Because today our hero is in the county jail where food, clothes and lodging are provided free of charge and his allowance is piling up so fast that he will have enough money to take his girl riding again as soon as he is released. © 1961 Max Shulmaa Backward or forward, a fine, new experience in smoking is yours from the makers of Marlboros—the unfiltered, king- size Philip Morris Commander, Welcome aboard!
