Page 2 THE BATTALION (ht College Station, Texas Friday, December 13, 1963 BATTALION EDITORIALS by Jim Earle Invite A Neighbor Over Approximately 100 students will not go home during the Christmas holidays. They will stay on campus. Ordinarily a university campus would be a lonely place to spend a two week holiday, but the Texas A&M University Hospitality Committee intends to make the time an event ful two weeks for the 100 foreign students — thousands of miles from home — who will stay here during the holidays. The group is urging citizens in the Bryan-College Sta tion area to invite these students to visit in their homes during the vacation. We would like to join the Hospitality Committee in urging residents to participate in the pro gram. Not only will this Be a wonderful opportunity to extend a warm hand to some of our own fellow world citizens, but it will add much to the Christmas spirit within your home to have such interesting guest. The Hospitality Committee has already made arrange ments for the students to spend New Year’s day in the traditional American way — by taking life easy and watch ing bowl games on TV. The committee will host the stu dents in the YMCA Building during the day. However, because the Hospitality Committee is just a service group, they once again will call on the citizens of Bryan-College Station to assist them in their project. Part of the American customs of New Year’s Day includes stuffing one’s self with foods that have been left over from Christmas. You’re right — the committee would like to have individuals volunteer to help feed these students on January 1 in an American way. Of course this want take much. They’re only 100 fellows that will be sitting around watching TV. And all housewives know how little they eat. Throw out the ’’Welcome” mat for a couple of weeks, citizens of Bryan-College Station, and get to know your neighbors — they only live across an ocean, and that’s not far today. By the way, while you’ve got the “Welcome” mat out, you might just as well leave it out for the year. Want to meet a neighbor? Well, just call for Mrs. Fred Smith, Mrs. Bill Echols, Mrs. Dorsey McCrory or Mrs. Bookman Peters at VI 6-8808 any afternoon next week. If you can’t reach them at that number, just call them at home.

In actual dollars, Taft’s amendment was $10 mil lion less than the one adopted, but it would have been spread over the four years of the pro gram. The House bill called for a four-year authorization in new funds of $803 million, but under attack from economy — minded The committee’s amendment accomplished it reduction main ly by eliminating the fourth year of the program and making minor cuts in the other years.
