Now Is The Time
For All To Move Ahead
!
With only two weeks of the semester behind us, it is
not uncommon to hear a student remark that he is already
a month behind in his work.
For some strang’e reason our education just doesn’t
stand still and wait for us to catch up on each other’s summer
adventures. The educational process moves on, regardless
of whether we move with it.

However, this weekend will offer students an excellent
chance to get the jump on the system. There are few jtp
students who will be able to travel to Columbus, Ohio, for
the Aggie ballgame with the Buckeyes. The only distraction
on campus this weekend of any major importance is the
All Aggie Rodeo.
Therefore, we suggest that this weekend will be a chance
for all stundents to get a step ahead. There are semester
papers that can be started and finished early, contrary to
common belief; and there is also material in textbooks "that :
can be read, even though it has not been assigned yet.
Bond Issue Reflects
4.
7*
Consolidated Attitude
Approval of the A&M Consolidated School District’s
$250,000 bond issue will go a long way in promising the
residents of the school district that their school system is
prepared to stay abreast with achievements being made in
modern education.
In order for our community to truly be considered a
“University City” the schools which the children of our
faculty and staff attend must be second to none. In order
to stay up with the fast moving business of education, the
system must have money.
While we are confident that the people of College Station
are well aware of the need for funds in order to operate an
educational system effectively, we will be looking at the vote
on Oct. 8 and hoping for approval.
The better elementary and secondary school systems
the community has to offer, the better the University’s
chances are of hiring the nation’s top educators to add to
the well qualified people now associated with the University.
The 8-cent tax increase which officials say will accom
pany the passage of the bond issue will be a small investment
which would produce gigantic dividends for all College Station
residents.
We of the University are happy to see A&M Consolidated
School District take steps to grow with us.
Washington Considering
Soviet Union Wheat Offer
WASHINGTON All signs
indicated Wednesday the U. S.
government is getting set to give
an answer — probably favorable
— if the Soviet Union offers to
buy American wheat.
The question to be answered
is a simple one: Is the United
States willing to make its wheat
available to the Soviets at the
cut-rate price the grain is offered
to friendly countries under an ex
port subsidy program ? On a 100-
million-bushel deal, the Ameri
can taxpayer would contribute
about $60 million.
Top-level closed conferences' on
a possible U. S.-Soviet grain deal
were held at the Agriculture De
partment and on Capitol Hill. In
volved is the subsidy issue.
Grain markets in this county,
in Canada and Europe buzzed
with reports of potential big-
scale deals. A group of Ameri
can grain merchants was in Ot
tawa, Canada, seeking discussions
with a purchasing group which
last week bought $500 million
worth of Canadian wheat to sup
plement the Communist’ short
cro ]?-
In Duluth, Minn., for a land
and people conference, Secretary
of Agriculture Orville L. Free
man told newsmen that the sale
of U. S. wheat to the Soviets is
a decision that will be made “at
the highest levels of government
at the proper time.’’
Freeman said reports that a
decision has been made are un
true. Earlier, an aide said that
the U. S. government has not
been approached with regard to a
possible deal.
Activity here indicated the gov
ernment anticipates that a re
quest will be made by the Soviets,
either directly or through grain
merchants.
There are no regulations now
which bar the sale of American
wheat to the Soviets at the
domestic price. This price is sup
ported by a farm program at
about 60 cents above the world
market. The Soviet Union ob
viously does not want to pay the
higher domestic price.
At the Agriculture Department,
conferences involving Asst. Sec
retary Roland B. Renne, who
supervises foreign trade matters;
department lawyers, and grain
experts were held to lay out the
groundwork for a possible high-
level decision.

NEW YORK (A>) — Battle
scarred American consumers are
used to creeping inflation-prices
of one thing or another going up
here and there from time to time.
But talk of a new concerted spurt
just ahead may well be prema
ture.
Times aren’t that booming, no
matter what the stock mar
ket says. Retailers and manufac
turers are still too competitive.
Recent price rises, mostly of
industrial materials or products,
are considered too scattered and
too tentative to change, the pres
ent trend—which, alas, is that
of still further creeping inflation.
But a general substantial price
rise looks dim indeed to most
economists, in and out of govern
ment, at this time.
Most Americans are primarily
interested in the prices on the
finished products at the retail
level. A few scattered price
rises on raw materials play only
a small role in setting these.
Senate Committee
OK’s College Bill
WASHINGTON <?P) _ The Sen-
nate Labor Gomittee has ap
proved a $1.75 Billion college
construction bill as well as a
big expansion of vocational edu
cation asked by President Ken
nedy.
The sudden action’ on the col
lege bill was a surprise since this
subject had not yet been dealt
with by the committee’s education
subcommittee.
In all the parent committee
action, education bills came in a
burst of speed which Sen. Wayne
Morse, D-Ore., the subcommittee
chairman, called “almost a mir
acle.’’
Much more important in recent
years has been the increase in
other costs of production and dis
tribution. The government index
of wholesale prices continues its
largely sidewide movement.
The rise of production and dis
tribution costs above the whole
sale and raw materials levels has
caused the creeping inflation both
in finished goods and in services.
This has caused, and still does,
disarray in many family budgets.
But offsetting it today, as in
the last few years, has been the
chance to shop around for bar
gains. Manufacturers have too
much idle production capacity to
raise prices sharply. Retailers
have been too competitive for
consumer dollars not to offer bar
gains for those who looked for
them.
For most persons then, the
woi*d that Detroit seems likely to
hold the price line on its new auto
models counts much more than a
rise in the price of steam con
densers.
Prices, like stock prices, doubt
less will fluctuate. Increases will
be announced. Some prices will
be shaved when competition
pinches.
Until the edononiy booms a lot
more than it now is expected
to, and until excess industrial ca
pacity is all put to work, inflation
is likely to be held to its all but
chronic state of creeping .

HOLLYWOOD hP) — Ask this
17-year-old what her ambition is
and she says:
“I suppose I want to be a star
—if being a star means accept
ance in the profession. But I
would like to avoid - some of the
things that go with stardom,
especially the lack of privacy.’’
She is a special 17-year-old
named Liza Minelli. Her mother
is Judy Garland.
Those who saw Liza’s profes
sional debut off—Broadway in
“Best Foot Forward” got the hint
that the star quality is there.
The television audience will have
a chance to reach a verdict when
she appears on her mother’s CBS
show in December.
If she comes across on tele
vision as well as she does in per
son, Liza might make it. She has
the same elfin charm and ingen
uous manner of her ma.
Liza’s wish to avoid stardom’s
travails is understandable. She
was growing up during some of
Miss Garland’s stormy years. For
Liza it meant a succession of
homes and schools.
The longest we stayed in one
place was seven years,” she said
“Mama and I drove by it the
other day and we both broke
out laughing. It’s now a vacant
lot.”
Liza attended seven schools in
California, two in New York and
one in England, topping it off
with a term at the Sorbonne in
Paris.
“The one in England was the
best,” she said. “It was al
most like private tutoring. I
have friends in their second year
of college who are just studying
things I learned there.”
Liza doesn’t voice the lament
of many stars’ children for a
“lost childhood.”
