U. S. Aided Both
Israelis, Arabs
The United States has, in the past, given the Arab Na
tions now involved in the Middle East War more than twice
as much military aid as it has given Israel, but the military
aid on both sides is far outweighed by American economic
assistance.
Government records show $27.6 mllion in military aid
has gone to Israel — mostly for tanks, a few jet fighters
and some Hawk anti-aircraft defense missiles.
More than twice that amount •— $66 million for war
material — has gone to Jordan, aligned with Egypt and
Syria in the current fighting against Israel.
U. S. policy generally has been to limit military assist
ance to the explosive area, but this country has sought to
bolster Jordan’s shaky position in the Arab world.
Another $161.7 million in U. S. military assistance has
gone to Saudi Arabia and fractional amounts to Syria and
Yemen.
Egypt has received no military help from this country.
The military aid to Arabs and Israelis is far. over
shadowed by the total of more than $2 billion in U. S. aid
for peaceful purposes that has gone to five Arab nations
and $1.1 billion to Israel in the past 20 years.
Chain Of Events
Causes Accidents
Most of us think of a traffic accident as happening very
suddenly. To the driver and his passengers it does seepi
sudden. However, the more we are able to understand acci
dents, the more we can observe that accidents and their
consequent injuries result from a sequence of events that
begin a long time before.
Even though we don’t know as much as we should about
these events, it seems reasonable that there are many steps
that we can take — not only as drivers, but as voters, tax
payers, consumers, parents, even as passengers — to try
to interrupt this sequence.
New laws have been passed in an attempt to reduce
the tragic toll on America’s highways. More are needed.
Last year 52,500 deaths and 4,400,000 injures resulted
from traffic accidents. The economic loss caused by these
accidents amounted to $9.8 billion.
According to an authoritative report from an insur
ance company, research is essential. It must be coupled
with the new laws, better law enforcement, and a greater
stress on driver education.
Research can tell us why and how accidents will occur.
Their prevention is still largely up to the driver.

Special Battalion Writer
Most churches, not only here,
but everywhere, have become
more interested in the college
generation and have worked to
get it interested in the church.
This is the opinion of J. Phil
Kirby, director of the Methodist
Student Center at North Gate
on the feelings which area
churches have in regard to the
student population.
“The churches are using many
new methods and experimenting
in even more ways to attract the
college student,” Kirby explained.
“At the Methodist Student
Center, we have tried ‘coffee
loft’ discussions, films, and guest
speakers on controversial topics
of interest to students.
“We spent several meetings
having discussions on what the
true meaning is behind such
songs as: “The Sound of Silence,”
“Help” and “I Gotta Get Out
of This Place,” Kirby said.
The Methodist Student Center
has also been working to get
the members to take active parts
in the administration of the cen
ter.
“We have not gained notic-
ably in membership this year,
but the quality of the students
has increased,” Kirby added.
One of the achievements which
Kirby is most proud is the stu
dents tutoring of high school
students.
“Several of the high school
students were not going to be
able to graduate without some
help and the A&M student mem
bers were happy to spend their
evenings helping them,” he said.
Kirby said that this year the
center reached about 300 A&M
students in some manner by the
evening progarms.
Other College Station churches
have also been active in reaching
the students.
The A&M Church of Christ
had an increase in student mem
bership from 328 last year to
430 this year.
“We try to develop leadership
capabilities in our students and
they run the student center on
an honor system,” Thomas J.
Seay, minister of the A&M
Church . of Christ, Said.
“The students have keys to
the center and they can come
and go as they please. They can
study here or they can use the
kitchen to cook their dinners,”
Seay added.
The Church of Christ has done
away with the title “Student
Member” because many of the
students have taken on more re
sponsibilities than a “Student
Membership” would. They teach
classes and sit in on the meetings
of the elders of the church.
That the center programs are
popular with the students is
shown by the fact that eight
members are going to go into
Wick Participating
In Atomic Confab
Dr. Robert S. Wick of Texas
A&M is participating in an en
gineering conference at Oak
Ridge National Laboratory Wed
nesday, Thursday and Friday.
The Atomic Energy Commis
sion-sponsored conference con
vened 26 faculty members from
southern colleges and universi
ties for discussion of engineering
challenges under study at ORNL.
The A&M nuclear and aero
space engineering professor will
study lab engineering activities
and opportunities. Gas-cooled
reactors, a molten-salt reactor
experiment and nuclear desali
nation of sea water are among
ORNL projects to be emphasized.
Wick is one of two state rep
resentatives at the conference.

the service of the church and
plan on beginning their minis
terial training next year.
This summer the church will
be having a program in which
25 students go to Rochester,
Minn., to help in a two-week,
city-wide “Campaign for Christ.”
These students will spend their
time preparing for the campaign
and then teaching the church’s
mission to the people.
The students will pay their
own expenses and for many of
them, there will be postponing
of summer jobs or missing the
first semester of summer school
as an added price.
“These students will live with
families up there and they will
learn to work with people and
to lead them,” Seay explained.
These two churches and their
programs for the students are
examples of what is being done
to attract the student, but every
church in Bryan and College Sta- !
tion has similar progarms or
other programs for the students.'
The Catholic and the Lutheran
Churches have study rooms for
the students and open houses on
important weekends such as
Mother’s Day, Final Review, and
all football weekends. At these
open houses the students can
bring their parents or dates for
lunch or a rest.
The Presbyterian Student Cen
ter has a study room and on
Friday nights it has a “Coffee
Loft.” This “Coffee Loft” has an
open discussion period, folk sing
ing or games for the students.
Another indication of the
growth in the desire to work
with the students is in the growth
of church building programs for
these student facilities.
The University Lutheran Chap
el and Student Center is about
two years old, Our Savior’s
Lutheran Church and Student
Center is only one year old, the
Methodist Student Center is in
a building which is four years
old and the B’nai B’rith Hillel
Foundation of Texas A&M is in
a modern new building.
The A&M Church of Christ
has plans for a new student cen
ter within the next two years.
All of the churches in College
Station are trying to give the
students the best possible facil
ities for them to further their

What marvelous buildings has man erected
through the centuries. What lofty and inspiring
structures has he created.
But how many of these glorious accomplish
ments stand intact today? We can see famous ruins
the world over — mute reminders that what man
builds is not permanent.
Today our buildings contain great slabs of con
crete holding hidden wire and steel that will not
break with stress. But can we be sure that today’s
creations will be standing a hundred years or two
hundred years from now? Of course not.
Of what can we be certain? What does last?
Certainly the gifts of God tower indestructibly
today as they have for generations . . . the things
of the spirit — faith, hope and love. Our ^church
buildings may crumble or be destroyed, but the
fellowship of believers is perpetual throughout the
ages.
Discover for yourself the great spiritual truths.
Discover for yourself through His Church, those
things which endure forever.

THE CHURCH FOR ALL . . .
... ALL FOR THE CHURCH
The Church is the greatest
factor on earth for the building
of character and good citizen
ship. It is a storehouse of spirit
ual values. Without a strong
Church, neither democracy nor
civilization can survive. There
are four sound reasons why
every person should attend ser
vices regularly and support the
Church. They are: (1) For his
own sake. (2) For his children's
sake. (3) For the sake of his
community and nation. (4) For
the sake of the Church itself,
which needs his moral and ma
terial support. Plan to go to
church regularly and read your
Bible daily.
