To Understand It
A long, imbittered debate has been raging in governmen
tal circles for the past several years: Which is the better
form of government—liberal or conservative?
The differences between liberalism and conservatism
are often difficult to define. A “Liberal” may say he is in
terested in government for al the people; now not just a few.
He may brand the “Conservative” as seeking a government
that neglects the needs of the common man.
The Conservative, on the other hand, may argue that he,
too, is for government for all the people. But he is for a
government that lets the people decide problems not of a
governmental nature for themselves.
Republican Sen. Barry Goldwater, in his book “The Con
science of Conservative,” said “Conservatism . . . looks upon
the enhancement of man’s spiritual nature as the primary
concern of political philosophy. Liberals . . . regard the satis
faction of economic wants as the dominat mission of society.”
This is, of course, a Conservative’s view. Liberals, and
even some Conservatives, will disagree with it.
Today the seventh annual Student Conference on Na
tional Affairs opened in the Memorial Student Center Ball
room with a speech by U. S. Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey, a
Democrat and a Liberal. Tonight another senator, Roman
L. Hruska, a Republican and a Conservative, will speak. Both
senators will deliver an address on the same topic: “The
Role of the Federal Government in Education, Social Security,
General Welfare and Labor-Management Relations.”
We doubt that the senators, though their speech topics
are identical, will be able to agree on very many points. We
doubt that Liberals and Conservatives attending the ad
dresses will be swayed too far out of line with their present
views.
But we sincerely believe everyone—Liberal or Conserva
tive, Democrat or Republican—hearing the speeches will
leave with a better understanding of the fundamental ideas
that shape our government.
This is the heart of SCONA.

JFK Calls
For Exercise
NEW YORK OP) — President
Kennedy Tuesday night called
for mass programs of play and
exercise for the American people,
saying we are growing physically
soft from push-button living.
The President, speaking before
a dinner of the National Foot
ball. Foundation, called on his
hosts to take action to involve
the people as a whole in phys
ical-fitness programs.
Kennedy quoted Thomas Jef
ferson as saying that not less
than two hours a day should be
devoted to exercise, and said he
felt that if Jefferson could give
two hours, American children
should be able to spend 10 or
15 minutes a day in exercise.

“That’s a good question, but I doubt that Senator Humph

perhaps we should confine our discussion to less important
world affairs!”

Lack Of Election
Publicity Criticized
Editor,
The Battalion:
I was concerned with the lack
of publicity given to freshman
candidates in Thursday’s (Nov.
30) election. After reading The
College Regulations of 1961, I
found the problems I thought
existed were covered.
These are approved election
procedures:
(1) Written solicitation pub
lished in The Battalion.
(2) Written solicitation on a
bulletin board or any other area

mission.
(3) Campaign posters will be
posted on dormitory bulletin
boards.
(4) Hand cards will be per
mitted.
(5) Oral solicitation before
student assemblies.
I have not seen any candi
dates’ qualifications printed in
The Battalion, nor any posters
on bulletin boards, nor heard of
any student assemblies. Is this
because the candidates do not
care enough about the office to
tell the voters their qualifica
tions? Or is it because they
were stopped by sorpeone?
In closing I would like to ask
the freshman candidates why, if
they were given this opportunity,
they didn’t take advantage of
the approved procedures? Is it
because the office sought by the
candidates are really not very
important to them after all ?

YR’s Say
Fight For Future
Editor,
The Battalion:
We believe that in this land
occurred a truly unique revolu
tion in man’s history. All other
revolutions simply exchanged
one set of rulers for another.
Here for the first time the found
ing fathers, the little band of
men so advanced beyond their
time that the world has never
seen their like since—evolved a
government based on the idea
that you and I have the God-
given right and ability within
ourselves to determine our own
destiny.
Freedom is never more than
one generation away from extinc
tion—we didn’t pass it on to our
children in the bloodstream. It
must be fought for, protected
and handed on for them to do
the same, or one day we will
spend our sunset years telling
our children and our children’s
children what it was once like
in the United States when men
were free.
We believe that the future will
belong not to the faint-hearted
but to those who believe in it,
who prepare for it, and who fight
for it.

Says ‘Thanks’
Editor,
The Battalion:
I would like to take this oppor
tunity to thank the civilian stu
dents who voluntarily guarded
the bonfire Friday and Saturday
night (Nov. 17-18), and those
men who worked Saturday cut
ting, trimming and hauling logs.
Your efforts Saturday contrib
uted considerably to the building
of the biggest bonfire in the his
tory of A&M. This effort is es
pecially appreciated since the
Corps of Cadets was representing
A&M in the traditional Corps
trip to Houston and along with
many civilian students supported
our team at Rice Stadium.
To all the Aggies, both Corps
and civilian, who worked on the
bonfire, I would like to say, you
did a great job.

Training Program
This Program is designed to develop young men
for careers in life insurance sales and sales man
agement. It provides an initial training period of 3
months (including 3 weeks at a Home Office School)
before the men move into full sales work.
Those trainees who are interested in and who are
found qualified for management responsibility are
assured of ample opportunity to move on to such
work in either our field offices or in the Home Office
after an initial period in sales.
The Connecticut Mutual is a 115-year-old com
pany with 520,000 policyholder-members and five
billion dollars of life insurance in force. Ag
gressive expansion plans provide unusual oppor
tunities for the limited number of men accepted
each year. /
