THE BATTALION CADET SLOUCH
College Station, Texas Thursday, October 1, 1964
The first home football game
brings the fall’s first Midnight
Yell Practice Friday night.
Corps whistle jocks will toot
the sounds of “Fall out for Mid
night Yell Practice” and those
who can manage to walk down
the stairs will gather outside for
the excursion to Kyle Field.
Every year the yell leaders
chant the slogan: “No drunks, no
damage this year.” And after
the first moonlight yelling ses
sion the head yell leader projects
his views on behavior during the
jaunt. His warning is always the
same, and is always printed on
page one of The Battalion: “If
this next Midnight Yell Practice
is as rowdy as the last one, we
will quit having them.”
Of course, no one approves of
damagnig the property of others,
but good, groty hell-raising can
have its benefits. For the fresh
men, it is one of their few chances
to let off steam.
Whatever happened to the tra
dition of trying to finish the
march to Kyle Field in the front
rank behind the band ? It used
to be a challenge to an outfit’.
fish to finish in this position, but
recently this fad seems to have
faded.
Two things have given Mid
night Yell Practice a bad name in
past years. One is the band
instruments wrecked by students
pushing into the last row of the
band instead of the first row be
hind it. The other is cars dam
aged during the mad scramble to
Kyle Field.
There are solutions to both
problems. One outfit could be
delegated to provide a protective
shell around the band, not allow
ing any student to slip into its
ranks. This was done last week
during the jaunt from the new
area to Henderson Hall, and no
damage was reported.
Persons who park their cars on
thoroughfares used in the trip
to Kyle Field are only asking for
what damage they might incur.
Therefore, they could solve the
potential problem by not parking
along this route.
A highlight of Midnight Yell
Practice has always been the fa
bles told by yell leaders. Too
often, however, the majority of
Aggies are unable to hear the
stories because of the uproar
caused by students who must at
tend under the affluence of
incohol — . . . er, the influence
of alcohol. Now this is bad,
because then junior can’t go home
and tell mommy everything he
has learned at A&M.
Seriously, Midnight Yell Prac
tice is intended to be devoted to
winning the week’s particular
game, and should be treated as
such. But there should also be
a time for “good Aggie bull’
before it begins.

Construction Boom
Hits College Campuses
NEW YORK <A>) — A con
struction boom is under way for
new college and university build
ings. The total spending for
construction for higher educa
tion is expected to double in the
years just ahead.
Needs and aims are changing,
too.
Now the emphasis is on new
dormitories. Ahead, educators
say, will be a drive to build
more science and research fa
cilities. And despite the growing
volume of postgraduate students,
the stress will still be on
taking care of an even larger
increase in the number of un
dergraduates.
Some 200 of the nation’s lead
ing colleges say their building
programs envision more than $4
billion in outlays in the next 10
years. This is about twice what
they spent in the last 10.
While more will be spent for
science and research facilities,
construction will contniue for all
types of campus building — class-

The Contemporary Arts Com
mittee of the Memorial Student
Center is presently engaging in
the promotoin of interest in and
the appreciation of the arts on
the campus.
One of the functions of the
Committee is to direct the opera
tion of the Browsing Library and
to improve its service to the stu
dents. Presently under consider
ation is the possibility of check
ing out books and the securing
of additional magazine subscrip
tions with emphasis on the arts.
Another activity is the selec
tion of a “Book of the Month”
purchased by the Browsing Lib
rary and reviewed in this column.
The Book for October is The
Martyred by Richard E. Kim.
Probably destined to be the top
first novel of 1964, The Martyred
is set in the opening phase of
the Korean War. The war it
self is unimportant except in the
effects it has upon the persons
involved and serves to sharpen
to a fine point the urgency of a
common dilemma — is there a
God?
The central figure and narrator
of this well-told story is Captain
Lee, a Korean Army Political In
telligence officer. Lee is assign
ed to investigate the execution of
12 Christian ministers by the
North Koreans the day the war
began. His commanding officer,
Colonel Chang is determined to
use the incident as an example
of Communist atrocities to unite
the North Korean Christians be
hind the South Korean cause.
Captain Lee’s interest centers
on the puzzling circumstances
surrounding the martyrdom — 14
ministers were captured and im
prisoned together but only 12
were executed. Lee is young
enough to believe the truth must

be told at any cost, and is deter
mined to investigate the details
of the executions before using
them as propaganda.
Of the surviving ministers, Mr.
Shin is the only one who can
exhalt or condemn the others —
or himself — for the other sur
vivor, Mr. Hann has gone in
sane. Is Mr. Shin’s refusal to
tell about the incident conceal
ment of his own guilt or the
keeping of a secret he believes
too terrible to be revealed ? Cap
tain Lee believes Mr. Shin to be
innocent of betraying the others
and implores him to reveal the
truth.
Mr. Shin’s reply is the theme
of the book. “. . . has it ever
occurred to you that they may
not want the truth ? ”
The truth — about the execu
tions and the existence of God.
Witnessing the suffernigs of his
people in the backwash of war,
Mr. Shin cannot believe that
there is a God. No loving and
righteous God could allow such
inhumanity to exist and the
pie should know this.
In one respect, whether thes]
is a God who cares is unimpi
tant to Mr. Shin because i;:
has seen the despair of th«s
who have lost their faith,
people must have a 'God to bet|
up under the oppression of
Communists and the suffering
of refugee camps.
The betrayal of man rathd
than the denial of God is tlij
greatest sin in the eyes of Mt
Shin. In his religious duty tt
his people to keep their faiti
burning, his own atheism is in
cidental.
The twelve ministers were esl
ecuted while Shin and Hann werl
spared by divine intervention ol
luck, depending on the point oil
view. Shin falsely confesseshiml
self as the betrayer of the othenl
but points out every Christian'l
betrayal of Christ so effective™
in a sermon that he becomes ibl
spiritual leader of the Christianil
of Pyongyang.
