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.

Failure In Cyprus
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. <A>)
— 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.

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. We were disap-

pointed to find that despite radio
announcements of their return
and accomplishment, not more
than a handful of students greet
ed them, and most of these shout
ed from dorm windows.
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.

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.

His prowess at steak frys is
well known and he does this for
any campus group with no extra
compensation. I personally be
lieve that he is responsible for
the tremendous success of our
annual Religious Emphasis Week.
Even with such a large a-
mount of work, Mr. Gay is never
to busy to help a person in any

lieve he has made a real contri
bution to the life of A&M Uni

ONLY FORD-BUILT CARS MEET THE CHALLENGE WITH
TOTAL PERFORMANCE!
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.
