Duty, Honor, Country
A piece of Honor will be placed in a grave in Norfolk,
Va., this Saturday when Gen. Douglas MacArthur is buried.
MacArthur will probably be remembered as one of the
greatest Americans to ever live. A born leader who had
faced the horribles of death from early years in his life,
MacArthur had the respect for the ideals he had defended
in three major wars embedded so deeply that when President
Harry S. Truman removed Mac from his command post in
Korea, the General accepted the decision with hardly more
than a comment.
A military leader of unquestionable ability, MacArthur
had no desire to become engaged in a political storm over
his dismissal. He simple accepted the Constitutionally dele
gated authority, probably with some personal pain, but in
the same maner he had defended that same authority so
often—with Honor.
A few years ago the General told a graduating class
of cadets at the U. S. Military Academy that their respect
to duty, honor, country would dictate “What you ought to
be. What you can be . What you will be.” It was probably
the Honor of the General that led him to show the respect
for duty and country that he did throughout his life.
Our nation is rapidly losing its MacArthurs. The
question that could become frightening if given much
attention—Who is going to take up the Codes of Honor
established by MacArthur and others like him after they
are all gone? Is our generation up to the task, or will Honor
truly be buried with MacArthur?
We pray to God for the hope of our country—Honor.
It takes a strong man to live with Honor for duty, country
and God. Can our generation place duty, honor and country
before personal pride? Will our generation—and necessarily
our nation—continue to enjoy the MacArthur-type Honor?
It’s our privilege just for the taking.
Editor’s Note: This is the second
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
Students afflicted with travel
ing pangs can find relief by con
sidering the old adage that “con
versation teaches more than medi
tation.” This capsule of wisdom
can prove to be a soothing ano-
dyine when interpreted relative to
travel. A little bit of talk with
those who have been abroad and
those facing the happy prospect
has revealed to me that there are
many ways, here on campus, for
“live-wires” to make a contact.
There are some scientific de
partments on campus which have
researchers going to Latin A-
merican countries seeking speci
mens. If you ask around, you
might get a job as a helper. Ac
cording to some Aggies who have
gone on these junkets, there
wasn’t much money in it. How
ever, the experience included a lot
of free time to take-off on your
own and really get acquainted
with the country and especially
the people. This combined with
the realization of your desire to
travel will make up for the lack
in pay.
Another way to get a crack at
travel is to combine it with your
summer job. If you have been
working for a certain company
which has foreign branches, ask
if you can work for them in one
of their foreign locations this
year. In several cases this has
been the “Open Sesame!” to
realize a much wanted goal. These
are just a couple of ideas gather
ed from conversation which Emer
son calls “the best of life;” and
we call “bull sessions.”
There are those who no matter
how they try will not be able to
make the trip in their mind’s eye
this year, but that doesn’t mean
it is The-Endsville. You might
even feel lucky because you’ll have
time to prepare. The Department
of Health Education and Welfare
in Washington D. C. gives several
fellowships in each school for
undergraduate students to go a-
broad for summer study. The
catch is that you must make
your application almost one school
year in advance. Specific inform
ation about this plan can be ob
tained from Dr. Thomas Comfort
in the Department of Modern
Languages here on campus.
This requisite of almost a year
of waiting is very wise on the
part of this government agency
because it underlines the two
passwords for satisfactory travel
ing — Anticipation and prepara
tion. Your trip means so much
more to you if you follow the
advice of the renown epigram
matist Dr. Johnson, “A man must
carry knowledge with him if he
would bring home knowledge.”

Eagle Pass will meet in the

dent Center at 7:30 p.m.
El Paso will meet at 7:30 p.m.

It also gives you an opportunity
to consider that one of the most
beautiful parts of travel is com
ing back home. It sounds
strange, but as some anonymous
wag once said, truth is stranger
than fiction. The truth is that
travel makes us become more ap
preciative of home. It takes the
veil of familiarity off of every
thing. Poets have celebrated this
fact in many works. Henry David
Thoreau puts it, “the best travel
reveals the value of home and
enables one to enjoy home better.”

Job Calls-
Minister Killed
During Setdown
CLEVELAND <A>) _ An earth-
moving tractor ran over and kill
ed a young Presbyterian minister
during a civil rights demonstra
tion at a school site Tuesday.
His death touched off rock
throwing, car-smashing disorders
by a crowd which at night-fall
numbered about 3,500, mostly
Negroes.
Police used tear gas to dis
perse the crowd.
The Rev. Bruce W. Klunder,
27, a white Presbyterian minister
who had participated in a num
ber of demonstrations for civil
rights, was dead when he was
lifted from the dirt on which he
had thrown himself, face down, to
block the tractor.
“I backed up and didn’t know
that man was back of me,” said
John White, 33, Mentor, Ohio,
the driver.

In both Britain and Sweden
it is a miracle if one survives
just crossing the street. Which
ever way you look when you’re
fixing to cross, you can rest as
sured that the cars are coming
from the other direction. In
Stockholm the traffic seems so
reckless that the pedestrians
gather at corners in Viking-like
bands of at least ten and then
brave the traffic together. The
drivers have to either stop or
hit ten people at once — a perfect
strike for drivers who are bowlers.
