Sportsmanship Award
â– Not Beyond Our Reach
For the 17th time, the Southwest Conference Sports
manship Committee presented its annual trophy at Cotton
Bowl halftime activities Tuesday. For the 16th time, A&M
was not the winner.
Only once, when the first trophy was presented, has
A&M won the prize. And it’s highly possible that A&M won
that first trophy only because the whole idea was developed
by The Battalion and the student life committee of the Stu
dent Senate.
Naturally, Aggies are at a distinct advantage as far as
sportsmanship is concerned—what Ag-gies call spirit and
what other schools might call un sportsmanlike conduct all
too often are the same thing.
The only alarming aspect is that students here are prone
to feel: “We don’t have a chance anyway, so why worry about
it?” This may be the proper attitude, but we don’t think so.
Students are graded at athletic events for behavior in
three different areas, all of which need not be abused under
any circumstances. Considered by student members of the
sportsmanship committee are these three aspects:
1. Did the opposing student body avoid discourtisies of
any sort toward its opponents, other visitors and spectators
and be good hosts and/or guests at all contests ?
2. Did the opposing student body demonstrate respect
for opponents, their school song and their traditions?
3. Did the opposing student body accept the officials’
decisions with good spirit.

Budget Recommendation
May Lessen Tuition Load
Aid To Education
Shows Big Jump
Much of the anticipated burden of a proposed tuition in
crease for A&M and other state-supported colleges and uni
versities may be relieved by a section in Governor Price Dan
iel’s budget recommendations for the 58th Texas Legislature.
In a recommendation that asked a $4 million incease for
A&M, the governor advocated a plan to provide $100 schlor-
ships for a maximum of 4,500 students here and at other
state schools. Daniel’s action was based on a recommendation
by the Texas Commission on Higher Education that tuition
be doubled from $50 to $100 per school year.
If the legislature passes this segment of Daniel’s pro
posals, we feel the proposed tuition increase would be much
better accepted. In fact, it appears that as much as half of
the A&M student body could qualify for these tuition schol
arships—which means that these scholarship winners would
be paying no more tuition that in the past, $100 per year.
The proposed budget for A&M would increase the
school’s allocation to $15,452,350, a sizeable increase from
last year’s 11.5 million but still $1.5 million less than college
officials had requested.
Additional income, from tuition, services and A&M’s
permanent fund, would probably boost operating funds to
$20 million.
Much of the increase in Daniel’s recommendation was
centered around an expected increase in enrollment during
1964-65.. Enrollment here increased by almost 1,000 during
the past two years, and a more rapid increase is anticipated
in the future.
The budget proposal also recommended a salary boost
for President Earl Rudder to $2(1,000 per year—an increase
of $3,500 annually but less than the requested $25,000 salary.
The other two main areas of increase are in teaching
salaries and library construction. Daniel asked for an in
crease of almost $2.3 million in teaching salaries and for
$194,817 more for state college libraries.

WASHINGTON — State legis
latures across the country ap
propriated $1.8 billion in state
tax funds for higher education
in 1962-63, a gain of 24.5 per
cent over a two-year period, ac
cording to a recent report.
This compares with an increase
of 22/7 per cent in the previous
two-year period, 1959-61. State
tax appropriations must be com
pared on a two-year basis, since
most state legislatures make bi
annual Appropriations.
The report was prepared by
visiting professor M. M. Cham
bers of the University of Michi
gan and published by the Joint
Office of Institutional Research
in Washington.
The 50-state figure provided
for teaching programs, organized
research, agricultural and engi
neering experiment stations, hos
pitals, county agents, adult edu
cation programs and other public
service activities. The $1.8 bil
lion total, representing a two-
year increase of 357 million, in
cludes over 400 colleges and uni
versities. It is based only on
appropriations of state tax funds,
for operating expenses and does
not include reappropriated income
from tuition, dormitories, ath
letic events and other campus
enterprises.
State-by-state g a i n s ranged
from New York’s 75 per cent in
crease to Louisiana’s 5 per cent
rise. Appropriations again de
clined in only two states'—in
Alabama by 1.5 per cent and in
Montana by 0.5 per cent.
The report found that the 20
states which operate local com
munity junior colleges had ap
propriated an additional $81 mil
lion to these schools in 1962-63,
an increase of about 42 per cent
over the total appropriated in the
earlier two-year period.

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (-TP)
—A sizzling diatribe from Red
China hints that Mao Tze-tung
wants Premier Khrushchev over
thrown as the leader of the Com
munist movement. This has the
ring of a declaration of ideolog
ical war.
The latest barrage, a 10,000-
word editorial published Dec. 31
by the official People’s Daily of
Peking, implies Khrushchev blun
dered in the Cuban crisis. It
calls his a hypocrite giving only
lip service to Fidel Castro’s de
mands on the United States.
The text, as published Thurs 1 -
day by the Washington Post,
complains that Khrushchev is
selling the cause of violent revo
lution down the river because of
his fear of an American “paper
tiger.”
The editorial repeats a chal
lenge to Khrushchev to submit
the Peking-Moscow wrangle to a
world meeting of Communist
leaders. It says communism
stands at a new historical junc
ture in its ideological warfare.
All this leaves no doubt the Cu
ban crisis aggravated the split
over how best to expand com
munism. As an excuse for the
assault, the Peking statement
singles out remarks by Palmiro
Togliatti, chief of the Italian par
ty, at its recent congress. There,
Red China was attacked by name.
Not once in Peking’s statement
does the name of Khrushchev ap
pear. It talks of “some people,”
but leaves no question who is the
real target.
“Some people,” it says, accused
China of creating difficulties in
the Cuban situation and of “want
ing to plunge the world into a
thermonuclear war.”
It denies wanting nuclear war,
and blames Khrushchev for the
Cuban crisis in the first place.
France for years has declined
to place even a major part of her
military forces at the full dis
posal of the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization.
Now President Charles de
Gaulle’s 1962 successes in Algeria
and at home and the growing
ability of the country to stand
on its own feet and finance its
own program, promise to carry
him toward ever greater insist
ence on greater equality and
greater independence in the At
lantic community.
It is noticeable that France is
making a particular effort to pay
off her debts to the United
States, and not only as a part of
a general European response to
America’s needs to correct her
own balance of payments prob
lem. This also adds to her in
dependence of what some Britons
are now calling an American ten
dency to “lean against” her part
ners in an effort to obtain agree
ment with her policies.
Both France and Britain are
insisting on maintenance of
forces which will give them the
power—which they found they
did not have in connection with
Suez six years ago—to react in
dividually in behalf of what they
consider their own interests. They
point to the United States actions
in the recent Cuban situation, hi
which they considered themselves
faced with possible “no choice!
action, as a demonstration by thd
United States herself of the neeq
for such a right.
President Kennedy is going td
have to bear in mind this Frencl 1
and British memory of Suez as he
reaches for greater leadership in
the Atlantic community.

AUSTIN—All citizens or resi
dents of the United States, in
cluding minor children, who had
gross incomes of $600 or more
in 1962, must file a federal in
come tax return, R. L. Phinney,
district director of the Internal
Revenue Service in Austin, an
nounced Thursday.
If the taxpayer is 65 or over
before Jan. 1, 1963, he is not
required to file unless his gross
income for 1962 was as least
$1,200.
The IRS representative added
that even though a taxpayer is
not required to file under these
rules, he must file to obtain a re
fund, if any income tax was with
held from his pay.
He said there is one exception
to the general rule. Self-em
ployed persons such as sole pro
prietors, partners and indepen
dent contractors, must file an in
come tax return and pay a self-
employment tax, if net earnings
from self-employment were $400
or more.

Grades Can Still Be Raised
In case you didn’t worry about it all during the Christ
mas holidays, surely you are working now—final exams are
just two short weeks away.
Like most students, members of The Battalion staff real
ize that an entire semester can’t be salvaged during the last
two weeks. But as most advanced students will attest, much
can still be done to raise a grade point ratio to a more respect
able level.
These last two weeks will pass quickly—we only hope
that they will not be spent worrying, but working.
