THE BATTALION Pag-e 2 College Station, Texas Wednesday, October 2, 1963 BATTALION EDITORIALS It Was Entire Corps That Got Aggies Up “It must have been the whole Corps,” one member of the traveling - party to Ohio State said of the Yell Practice in front of Henderson Hall last Friday. The Student Body was “up and at ’em” to send the football team off to Columbus. In fact the group outside was reportedly up and about before the football team and served as an alarm for many of the athletes. Battalion Sports Editor Jim Butler reported that had the ballplayers made an appearance for the Yell Practice, many of them would have been in rather brief dress. It appears that The Spirit has caught hold on the A&M campus. One student was heard to remark of the week end trip to Lubbock, “Why not drive out there, it’s only eight hours?” If the students can develop an enthusiasm for football via the long distance process that most of us have been forced to be satisfied with on the past two weekends. The Spirit should be something to witness after everyone has some eyeball contact with the team in action. There should be some who will make the journey to Lubbock. However, there should be only a few who do not make the U. of H. game here one week later. The freshmen are lucky enough to have a ballgame here this week. It might be well for all of us to take advantage of the gridiron meeting between the fish and the freshmen 11 from TCU. Last Word To The Wise Once before we gave room in our pages to urge students to take advantage of the very excellent student insurance program that is currently being offered. However, our words apparently had little influence or our students have little desire to protect themselves and their families from possible financial hardships. We will be content at this time to remind you that the insurance is still available. It has been provided to you by your own student government. We only hope that we will not be the one to tell you “we told you so” when doctor bills begin to grow.

And you ask why just the United States? Why aren’t other nations also having deficit problems affecting their currency and their credit stand ings ? The answer is: Some nations do have balance of payments troubles, and have them bad. Other nations like Britain have them off and on; and most of the rest suffered after World War II even worse than the United States is today but have pulled from deficit to surplus as the United States slipped. Underdeveloped countries usual ly are dependent on loans and grants from others to balance their payments with the rest of the world. This is especially true of those with big ambitions— the ones who want to grow in dustrially at jet speed. Aiding them has helped push the United States further into the red. Industrial countries like Britain have periodic payment problems when their exports slump or their consumer taste for imports gets to rich. France, West Germany and other European countries went through rough years after the war. West Germany built up to her present affluence by auster ity. France belatedly cured its in flationary sprees that caused the franc to be devalued more than once when the rest of the world lost confidence in it. Now a new inflation is starting and France is taking sharp corrective measures. Canada has a commercial trade deficit of $1.4 Billion with the United States, largely offset by $1.2 Billion a year in investments by Americans. It now is propos ing to curb U.S. imports while protesting U.S. efforts to stem the investment outflow. The unique thing about the U.S. deficit of payments today is that it isn’t in any of the classic forms. Usually deficits arise from im ports topping exports as in post war Europe while it was import- D ANCE S.P.J.S.T. HALL SNOOK Music by “THE CITATIONS’ Saturday Night, Oct. 5 Until 1:00 a. m.

Today the Yankee dollar, for all its problems, isn’t shunned. It doesn’t buy as much in goods and services as it once did. But most foreigners are willing to hold onto most of the dollars they get-up to a point. And it’s that point Amer ican and other financial author ities worry about.
