CADET SLOUCH

NEW YORK (A*) _ The flow
of American investment dollars
abroad, especially to the Com
mon Market, is slowing down.
Once hailed as a good thing
both for the American and Eu
ropean economies, such spend
ing of late has become a wor
ry to those seeking to cut U. S.
deficits in world dealings.
Washington reports that
threats of nex taxes are hold
ing down sales of foreign securi
ties to Americans keeping such
hot money at home and trim
ming the loss of U. S. dollars and
gold.
The big rush of U. S. corpora
tions to build plants overseas
appears to have tired. And a
larger proportion of such expan
sion is being financed abroad
rather than with additional Yan
kee dollars.
The auto industry seems to
have completed most of its

Golden Opportunities
Two strokes of good fortune will come A&M’s way
during the next two weeks. Both will unfold in the form
of nationally produced television shows.
The first will take place Friday night, when the Singing
Cadets, directed by Robert L. Boone, will serve as official
singers for the Miss Teenage America Pageant. This will
include a 90-second spotlight on the Singing Cadets alone.
The group and the University have further been compli
mented by the pageant officials, who have requested some
members of the singing group to escort the finalist.
A second national show will host members of A&M’s
‘‘College Bowl Team” on Nov. 10. The team, coached by
Dr. Harry P. Kroitor, has been training since the beginning
of school in preparation for the contest.
Both of these groups are to be congratulated on their
efforts in preparation for these shows and should be sup
ported and encouraged by everyone associated with Texas
A&M University.

The Battalion:
Recent letters published in
“The Battalion” as well as oth
ers mailed to Former Students
by Bob Rowland, Class of ’57,
are of deep concern to those of
us who have utmost confidence in
the Board of Directors regarding
the present co-education pro
gram.
In 1961 and 1962 our Associa
tion of Former Students budget
ed a total of $50,000 to finance
a study of Texas A&M by 100
Texans (50 per cent A&M form
er students) selected from a
broad cross section, geographi
cally, economically and profes
sionally. The purpose of the
Century Council Study was to
evaluate the present status and
recommend modifications that
would bring nationally recogniz
ed educational leadership to
A&M upon reaching its 100th
Anniversary in 1976. A similar
study was made by the Faculty
and both reports were presented
to the Biard of Directors in 1962.
The Century Council and Faculty
studies were extremely compre
hensive and consumed some 14
months of dedicated efforts.
These reports should be well ab
sorbed by everyone — particul
arly those who have so hotly cri
ticized The Board for its recent
decisions. To me the primary
purpose of the Association of
Former Students has always
been and should continue to be
one of assistance to A&M. The
responsibility of direction is
placed firmly in the hands of
the Board of Directors, who are
in turn responsible to the citi
zens of Texas to provide the best
institution of higher learning
possible with the funds so ap
propriated. It is my personal
feeling that the Board of Di
rectors is composed of intelli
gent, capable, dedicated citizens
doing their best to make the
necessary changes for the im
provement of Texas A&M.

A&M’s major fault has b&en its
reluctance to change at a time
when our world is changing more
rapidly than ever before. Twenty
years ago at the under graduate
level less than 5 per cent of
A&M’s students were mafried.
Our present national average is
30 per cent and at A&M approx
imately 20 per cent, involving
some 1,500 wives who should be
entitled to continue their educa
tion. In September Approxi
mately 150 responded, there is
every reason to believe that more
will avail themselves of this op
portunity in the future.
If Bob Rowland were a mar
ried student wouldn’t he want his
wife to continue her education?
If he were an ambitious and able
professor with more than one
daughter to educate on a salary
of $9,500 per year, would he
remain at A&M if his family
could not enroll 7 If he were a
fine, capable professor, would
he deny his wife the opportunity
of obtaining a Masters or Doc
tors degree ?
A&M’s present program is
conducive to faculty improve
ment, does not dilute funds
through enlargement of curri
culum, aids rather than impairs
efforts towards attaining na
tionally recognized excellence,
and last does not destroy the
fine traditions of the Corps. De
finite improvement in the qua
lity of both the faculty and the
entering student have already
been accomplished.
To me the finest attribute of
the A&M graduate is his ability
to accept and properly delegate
responsibility whether it be in
the business, military, or educa-f
tional fields. Apparently some
of us have forgotten about dis
cipline and responsibility.
Let’s face the real issue of to
day — legislation that will pro
vide the necessary funds for fa
culty and physical plant im
provement not just for A&M,
but for all the state supported
institutions of higher learning.
This can only be accomplished
by uniting our efforts in support
of the Board of Directors.

LAST DAY
European ventures. The chief
remaining increase in spending
there now is by U. S. chemical
firms. The total of U. S. manu
facturing expansion in Western
Europe this year is a bit below
last year, and American firms
tell the U. S. Department of
Commerce that next year’s
Spending Will be down Still
more.
Part of the slowdown in Amer
ican business spending itt the
Common Market may be due to
increased opposition there to
what they fear will be American
domination of their industries.
Most interesting to Washing
ton monetary officials is that
this year the Worldwide invest
ments of U. S. manufacturing,
petroleum and mining com
panies is calling for only 16 per
cent additional funds financed
from U. & sources. The rest of
the cost is being boms by earn*
ings and funds generated a-
broad by previous U. & invest
ments there.

Does a man really take unfair advantage of women
when he uses Mennen Skin Bracer?
All depends on why he uses it.
Most men simply think Menthof-lced Skin Bracer is the best
after-shave lotion around. Because it cools rather than bums.
Because it helps heal shaving hicks and scrapes. Because it
helps prevent blemishes.
So who can blame them if Bracer’s crisp, long-lasting aroma
just happens to affect women so remarkably?
Of course, some men may use Mennen Skin Bracer because
of this effect.
