Page 2 THE BATTALION College Station, Texas Wednesday, February 26, 1964 CADET SLOUCH BATTALION EDITORIALS He "’s The Greatest; Metcalf, The Aggie He’s the greatest, he’s the most, he’s the pride and joy of Texas A&M. If this were the age of kings Coach Shelby Metcalf would have to be given much consideration. We know one group of Aggies that would support him 100 per cent. Coach Metcalf has long since convinced us that he ranks among the nation’s best as a basketball coach. A more pleasant personality could not be found. No finer Aggie was ever born or made. Coach Metcalf convinced us that he is all Aggie Tuesday night at halftime. In respect to the playing and singing of the Aggie War Hymn by the Aggie Band and the A&M student body, Metcalf held his cagers at courtside until the Aggies began to saw. When the official bellowed at Metcalf to get his boys on the floor for the jump starting the second half, Metcalf pointed in the direction of the Aggie Band and stood fast. We feel sure that Coach Metcalf and the Aggies were well aware of the fact that they were risking a technical foul by not taking the floor at the request of the official. We could feel the pride swell inside as the Aggie coach and cagers, most definitely the heroes of the hour, stood with us as the War Hymn bounced from the steel girders of G. Rollie White Coliseum. The Aggie cage coach, who is definitely blessed with some of the finest men that ever walked, is a traveling am bassador of good will for A&M. He is well liked and well received, except by a few coaches and teams who must respect him regardless, where ever he goes. Congratulations to you Coach Metcalf, and to your fine basketball team. You’re the greatest. by Jim Earle JJ ThdTlt Admits Failure In Cyprus UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. ) — Secretary-General U Thant admitted failure Tuesday in his efforts to resolve the Cyprus crisis. He tossed the issue back into the lap of the U. N. Se curity Council. After almost four hours of de bate •— marked by one demon stration in the public gallery — the council decided to postpone further consideration until Thurs day. This was done obviously to per mit tempers to cool and let pri vate negotiations take over once more — this time with the six non-permanent members of the council assuming a chief role. On Cyprus, President Arch bishop Makarios announced he would increase his security forces to nearly four times present strength by creating a 5,000-man police force. He said all Cyp riots bearing arms illegally would be deprived of them. Bulletin Board —Job Calls— “Our outfit’s stressin’ academics!” Sound Off Editor, The Battalion: This is the period set by the directors of A&M University for everyone to strivfe for excellence. The objective of excellence in all fields has been or is being achi eved. Examples should include the addition to Cushing Library, the Nuclear Science Center and the proposed cyclotron How ever, there is one area which has been overlooked. This past weekend the A&M Freshmen Drill Team participat ed in one of the top drill com petitions in the nation, one which is considered by many to be for the national drill team champion ship. They returned from Pur due University carrying the tro phy for third place, truly an out standing accomplishment since this was their first appearance in a competition of such prestige. The Freshman Drill Team’s record speaks for itself. Added to this national honor are the honors from competition across the Southwest. For three years the team, composed entirely of freshmen, has swept all honors at the Southwest Invitational Drill Team Meet at Louisiana State University. Doesn’t it seem a shame that a team of dedicated young men should have to dig deeply into their time and money to do the valuable service of spreading good will for the University and receive no compensation or credit for its effort? The members of the team must spend $75-$100 each to attend drill meets and buy uniform ac cessories. They receive nothing except the praise of the areas to which they travel. On their own campus, however, they are not well known and are many time not accepted as a special part of the University. We met the team Sunday as their Air Force plane landed at Easterwood Airport and their Army bus brought them back to the campus.

Isn’t it about time that one of the most deserving of campus organizations received a little support, at least morally, from their fellow students and the ad ministration of the University. Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Philpot Class of ’65 ★ ★ ★ Editor, The Battalion: Being human, we are always inclined to criticize but very seldom praise when it is due. There is a man on our campus who I think deserves a word of praise. He is Mr. J. Gordon Gay, general secretary of the Y.M.C.A. I had the privilege of working as office secretary under Mr. Gay and I believe that he is truly a dedicated and unselfish person. Mr. Gay spends hour upon hour helping many organizations by counseling, giving advice, making arrangements and help ing them with that “shot in the arm” that they often need. Mr. Gay is willing to stay after work ing hours or come early in the morning when a person needs help. I have seen him attend breakfast meetings at daybreak, work all day and then stay at the “Y” until 8 or 9 at night.

Something wonderful’s happened to Ford Motor Company cars! Under the freshest styling seen in years, there’s a new kind of durability and vigor that more than meets the demands of today’s and tomor row’s high-speed turnpike driving conditions. What’s the secret? Quality engineering for total per formance. Quality engineering so outstanding that Ford Motor Company received the NASCAR Achieve ment Award for engineering excellence which “superbly combines the prime essentials of great automobiles— performance, reliability, durability, comfort and safety.” Total performance makes a world of difference. Bodies and frames are solid and quiet even on the roughest roads. The ride’s so smooth, so even-keeled, it seems to straighten the curves and shorten the miles. And nothing matches the spirit, sparkle and stamina of advanced Ford-built V-8’s and thrifty Sixes. Total performance is yours to enjoy in all our 1964 cars—from the frisky Falcon to the matchless Lincoln Continental.
