Page 2 1 BATTALION EDITORIALS Fish Election Sound Off Editor, The Battalion: It is our desire that your read ers know the positions taken from time to time by our organi zation. The following is a para phrase of resolutions which we adopted in our most recent meet ing: We believe that faith in the individual is the only true foun dation of our national strength. We believe that our national stability can stem only from the basic constitutional piunciples that unite us. We believe that private enter prise and encouragement of in dividual incentive have given this nation an economic system sec ond to none on earth. We believe, as Lincoln did, that the proper function of gov ernment is to do for the people only those things that have to be done, but cannot be done by individuals for themselves. We believe that sound eco nomic growth can be generated only by sound money and avoid ance of inflationary deficits. We believe in equal rights and equal justice for all regardless of race, creed or color. We believe Americans have an international kinship with peoples everywhere who seek the extension of freedom and human rights. We belive that Americans have an enduring capability of mak ing hard decisions unflinchingly when the security of the nation and our free world allies is threatened by aggression. We believe the party is a party of realistic vision, retain ing those things from the past that are worth retaining and al ways receptive to new ideas in the task of building a better America. We believe our mission is to win on merit as we appeal to all segments of the population—not as separate groups but as part of the whole with equal but never superior claims on the progress we can generate. We believe that only through the Republican Pax-ty can these ideals become active and success ful principles of government. Texas A&M Young Republican’s Club U. S.

More accurately, they will narrow the field of candidates from 80 (the number who had filed for office by 5 p. m. of Tuesday of last week, the last day for filing) to 26 (the top two candidates for each post.) The 13 offices will be filled in a run-off election Dec. 12. The number of freshmen who filed this year is impres sive. More impressive—19 have filed for the office of pres ident, more than for any other single office! Representing a class as one of its elected officers is a serious business. It is a job for dedicated people who can see what should be done and do it in the face of criticism. It is a job for people who have the best interest of their class and of their school at heart. It is NOT a job for those who will forget the campaign and the election two weeks after it is over. Nor for those who seek election merely for the prestige it will bring to themselves and their outfits. Every person who votes in tomorrow’s election must decide for himself who is the one person best qualified to lead his class, and who are those best qualified to work with him.

WASHINGTON UP)—The State Department charged Tuesday the Soviet Union and its satellites are using East Berlin as a springboard for their espionage activities against West Germany and other countries of the West ern world. In addition, the department said, the Communist intelligence service based in East Berlin are used to kidnap and assassinate political enemies of the Com munists. The department issued a de tailed review of Communist es pionage activities in East Ger many and the Soviet sector of Berlin. The study was made public in connection with the de fection of Guenter Maennel, a former East German Communist agent. Maennel, described as a senior officer of the East German Se cret Service, defected June 29, 1961. Bonn dispatches said he was the chief of the American desk of HVA, the East German intelligence agency operating outside East Germany. The Soviet Union, in demand ing that West Berlin be made a “free” city, has repeatedly charged that West Berlin was on West Berlin are sheer hypoc risy,” the State Department said. The headquarters of all Com munist espionage organs is in Karlshorst, in East Berlin, the department said. Not only East Germany but also the Soviet Union, all European satellites— except Albania—and also Red China and North Korea have es pionage services in East Berlin. flie ffrsl •£ u % I. 8 s Job Calls The following firms will inter view seniors in the Placement Office of the YMCA Building: Thursday National Supply Division of Armco Steel Corp.—Accounting, business administration and me chanical engineering. a center of espionage and sub version.

Well-Preserved Forty plus <3 ° Why men watch girls Men watch girls for various reasons. Personally, wc need no better reason than the reason men climb mountains. They are there. We have heard old men say they watch girls because it makes them feel younger and young men because it makes them feel older (see above). While investigating the reasons why men watch girls we picked up a clue from, of all things, a bird watcher. He told us that he formerly had been a flower watcher. Then one day a Speckle-Breasted Jackdaw happened to land in his garden as he was watching a calla lily and he noticed that the bird moved. He switched to birds on the spot. Girl watchers have discovered that girls enjoy this same advantage (movement) over calla lilies. (Speaking of ad vantages, how about Pall Mall’s natural mildness!) FULI 25 Hi PAY C m B/ WA hi Bir .
