Cancer Control
Important To All
Sometime during April — Can
cer Control Month — you will be
asked some pertinent questions
about cancer and given the ans
wers to them by volunteers of
the American Cancer Society who
will be calling on you.
It is not necessary that you
know the answers to all the ques
tions: Are we getting anywhere
against cancer? What signs or
symptoms may mean cancer ?
Which type of cancer is increasing
most rapidly ? What type of
cancer kills most Americans?
What can you do to protect your
self against cancer?
But you should know cancer’s
seven danger signals and visit
your doctor if any one of them
should persist more than two
weeks. Cancer usually starts
quietly and spreads without pain.
In the beginning, a danger signal
may seem very unimportant to
you, but it could be most import
ant to your life.
It is important for you to know
that 75 per cent of the 76,000
men and women who will develop
cancer of the colon and rectum
this year could be saved by early
diagnosis and prompt treatment.
The best protection against death
from this disease is a simple proc
toscopic examination once a year.
Cancer of the lung is the most
rapidly mounting cause of death
from cancer. What can you do
about it? Stop smoking cigaret
tes if you are already a smoker,
and if you do not smoke, don’t
start. The American Cancer
Society says that if no one smok
ed cigarettes a great majority
of lung cancers would be pre
vented.
The American Cancer Society is
speaking in the interest of all
of us when it urges every adult to
have an annual health checkup.
Many cancers discovered during
an annual health checkup can be
cured.
As for the question: Are we
getting anywhere against can
cer? The answer is “yes.” More
than 1,200,000 men, women and
children are alive today, cured of
cancer. Improvements in sur
gery, radiation, use of drugs, new
techniques of diagnosis, better
facilities for treatment, the pub
lic’s concern about cancer and
action on that concern, are sav
ing the lives of tens of thousands
of Americans annually, who would
have died if they had had the
disease less than a generation
ago.
Costly research has accom
plished much of this. And this is
one of the reasons why you should
support the American Cancer
Society’s programs of research,
education and service. We urge
you to give generously to the
April Cancer Crusade.
Roaring Guns Pay Homage
To Memory Of U. S. Hero
NEW YORK (A>) _ The deep-
throated roar of distant guns
paid homage Monday to the mem
ory of General of the Army Doug
las MacArthur, echoing across
two main scenes of his long life,
the U. S. Military Academy and
New York City, his last home.
At both places, 19-gun salutes
were fired at noon.
Across the nation, on the high
seas, and at all American in
stallations around the world, flags
were lowered to halfstaff. They
will remain so, by order of Pres
ident Johnson, until after the fun
eral services for MacArthur in
Norfolk, Va., next Saturday.
During the week of mourning
his ■ body will lie in repose in
New York, the Capitol rotunda
in Washington, and in the Mac
Arthur Memorial rotunda in Nor
folk.
He chose Norfolk as his last
resting place because his moth
er, the former Mary Pickney
Hardy, was born,
married there.

Early Preparation Needed
For Travels In Far Lands
“That’ll give you an idea of what a blast th’ Civilian
Weekend is—This is where they held last year’s!”
WRIGHT
by John Wright
MacArthur’s body was brought
to New York from Washington
by motorcade Sunday night. He
died in Walter Reed Army Hospi
tal at the age of 84.
At 8 a.m. Monday an honor
guard of Army, Navy, Marines
Coast Guards, and Air Force
men took station around the cask
et containing MacArthur’s body
in a New York funeral home.
Job Calls—
Are we hearing the swan song
of the Sino-Soviet alliance ? Sure
ly we must be, regardless of how
long it may last.
Khrushchev, presently in Hun
gary, has made some astounding
statements compared to the well
remembered “we will bury you”
speech of not too long ago. In
his most recent speech at the
Kazincbarcika chemical plant in
Hungary, Khrushchev declared
that the U. S. government judges
the world soberly while Red China
sees possible good in a war that
might wipe out half of mankind.
More suprisingly Khrushchev
mentioned Kenned y’s speech
made last June to American Uni
versity in Washington, in which
the late president said that the
United States will never work
“toward a stragety of annihila
tion but toward a stragety of
peace.” Khrushchev called the
speech reasonable. Furthermore
he said that the Communist rev
olution of 1917 was not fought to
live worse after taking power.
Khrushchev said “we need good
houses, clothes — winter, autumn
and summer clothing. We need
schools, hospitals, universities.
We need all the things that make
life richer and finer.”
I do not think for a moment
that these statements reflect any
basic change in the ultimate aims
of the international communist
movement. Perhaps what these
latest developments do suggest
is that after the colossal failure
of the Soviet collective farming
system and the consequent em-
barrasing decision to have to
buy $935 million worth of wheat
from the capitalists he vowed
to bury, the Soviet leader has no
real choice but to reject, for
the foreseeable future at least,
any ultimate dreams of a Com
munist dominated world that had
roots in Marxism-Leninism that
today is simply useless. He must
succeed in raising the living
standards of the Soviet people
and to do this he must sacrifice
a huge portion of the investment
in the arms industry.
The Red Chinese interpret this
as traitorous to the doctrines of
Marxism-Leninism and are out
for blood — Khrushchev’s blood.
The Red Chinese term the Rus
sians “modern revisionists” and
prior to Premier Chou En-lai’s
visit to Albania the Peking Re
view said “Imperialism is disin
tegrating; U. S. imperialism is
falling on still harder times. Re
visionism, which is an offshoot of
the policies of imperialism, has
become increasingly exposed in all
its ugliness as betraying Marx
ism-Leninism, repudiating pro
letarian internationalism, oppos
ing revolution and serving as an
apologist for imperialism and
colonialism.”

Student Publications in the

A portrait and 2 snapshots

WRONG
Soviet tirades can only be guess
ed at. Only last week there was
mention in the Western press
that a Red Chinese plot to assasi-
nate Khrushchev had failed. Some
credibility is lent to this by the
fact that Russian propaganda
outlets did not bother to dispute
this, an act that in previous years
would have been unthinkable.
Whatever the outcome we can
only hope that common sense and
reason will prevail in the Com
munist camp and that fanatics
will not go off the deep end and
initiate a showdown that will
threaten the somewhat shaky
world peace.
If Senator Fulbright’s state
ment concerning new attitudes
and dropping of old myths is in
dicative of future U. S. policy,
and Khrushchev is successful in
maintaining leadership of the
Communist camp, then perhaps
there is hope for the future.
Editor’s Note: This is the first
of a series of three articles by
J. Donald Deliz, Department of
Modern Language, discussing
travel and features of travel
which Aggies might enjoy for a
summer vacation. Deliz was ask
ed to write the series, because
he has traveled in much the same
manner a student would enjoy
traveling.
By J. DONALD DELIZ
An old French proverb says
that he who travels far knows
much, and in the Spring semester
when most Aggies have the give-
a-darns, the direction of travel
is toward getting away from it
all. There are many, at this
time, who are giving serious
thought to foreign travel in order
to round-out their education. It’s
good to know that the sages of the
ages are in accord with them.
St. Augustine confessed that, “the
world is a great book of which he
who never stirs from home reads
only a page.”
It is best to think of the place
you’re going to visit as early as
possible and then to turn those
thoughts into “the hardware of
travel” which are papers and
money. For travel in the West
ern hemisphere, one needs only
a visa, or tourist permit, from the
consulate of that country. It
usually costs two or three dollars
and is easily obtainable.
Going to Europe gives us a
different problem. A formal pass
port is necessary. The first step
here is to go to the local court
house and get a form which, along
with ten dollars, is sent to New
Orleans where this area’s State
Department Passport Agency is

located. A passport good for
three years comes back to you a
long time later. Since this takes
some time, it is best to begin pro
ceedings as soon as possible.
The matter of funds is quite the
other way; i.e., not so easy. A
lot of Aggies would like to work
their way across the big drink
which is an admirable thought.
But the American ships have
strong unions against this. Euro
pean companies hire their own
nationals and never for just a
one-way voyage. The airlines,
of course, employ stewardesses
and wine stewards for which there
are certain qualifications. For a
summer abroad, the smallest a-
mount it takes is between eight
or nine hundred dollars, so it is
best to start saving. The work
ing your way over approach is
a dead end unless you have some
special connections with a ship
ping firm.
There are, however, special
group rates by some airline
companies. Air France has a
special deal which takes you
from Houston to Paris for about
$350, and that’s extremely cheap.
It is best to inquire from them
directly.
You should feel lucky not to
have to travel first class. Some
have done so to find that it is
not really traveling. John Rus-
kin who called it more like being
a parcel being picked up at one
point and set down at another was
probably right. You learn noth
ing!
When you travel third class,
now called tourist class by many
companies, you are thrown into
a milieu which is a perfect learn
ing situation. One might even
travel steerage if they had that
kind of passage these days. There
are many students of different
nations traveling in tight finan
cial straits, and they demand to
speak the language of the coun-

The most memorable of trips to
Europe can be a bicycle itinerary
planned by the Youth Hostels.
These are like the Y’s in our
country — very Spartan and
reasonable — you bicycle or motor
scoot from one hostel to another,

veyance when you arrive in Eu
rope and you really “live” the
countries you see.
Although you will sometimes
have to sleep on a hard mattress
as Melville says “made of broken
crockery and albatross feathers,”
you can make up for it with some
scenery enriched with history and
the exciting contact with a for
eign culture.
These hostels are not as bad as
presupposed by many. Someone
has suggested that one read
Down And Out In Paris and Lon
don by George Orwell. Although
it does stress for me the import
ance of really getting to know the
people and customs of the coun
tries visited, it is unnerving. He
does have a chapter in which
he describes one of the rooms he
and his friends rented, in which
they had to sleep in shifts. As
one would sleep, the other would
kill bed bugs. Travelers seldom
have this experience.
