The Battalion College Station (Brazos County/, TexasPAGE 2 Wednesday, April 22, 1958

An Editorial

Broad TrainingMaj. Gen. Bernard A. Schriever, Aggie Muster speaker,

stressed the importance of continued technological and mili­tary training at A&M in the interest of national defense.

However, Gen. Schriever did not point out the need for training of top leaders in government, economics and social development as an asset in our national welfare.

A&M or any other educational institution in our modern day—with the exception of military academies and strictly- technical schools—cannot afford to concert all their efforts on these, two limited fields.

For they are faced with an added responsibility of train­ing the future civilians of our nation as well as military leaders. They must also concentrate on training future farmers, educators, journalists, social workers and govern­mental leaders as well as the technologists.

Temporarily, military leaders and technologists are of great importance, but our nation cannot hope to fight an endless cold war with other nations and preserve security by strength in these two fields.

The United States should not need to stand and beat off other nations in the world always. It must launch a plan for world peace in which it aids nations with social, economic and governmental problems. It must not force, but lead. It must be respected—not feared.

While the nation should remain strong now militarily and technologically to meet the Soviet threat, its best weapon in the long run will be friendly aid to the nations of the world in planning and instituting sound governments, eco­nomics and social development.

So Texas A&M should place at least equal emphasis on training in the social sciences and the humanities along with the technical and military training.

If A&M will strengthen this phase of its academic pro­gram in future years it will be noted not only for top leaders in the armed forces and top technologists but also for out­standing leaders in the fields of government, economics and the humanities.—JT

Man to ManBy JOE TINDEL

In one more week, “Man to Man” will fade from the pages of The Battalion and go down in its history.

Some readers may not be too sad about it, but this writer looks upon the column with a great amount of senti­mentality. This year is the first time in some time that the Battalion editor has written an informal column and a person can get quite attached to the regular weekly routine of writing this type column.

★ ★According to The Battalion’s unofficial count, there are

only 31 more days left until commencement and final review.That day will be the happiest and yet the saddest day in

the college careers of many of the Class of ’58.At that time the full impact of the good times of A&M

hits the graduating seniors in the face and many really hate to leave.

It’s funny—the feeling Aggies have about their, school. It’s probably the only college in the world that you can hate and love at the same time. There’s nothing like it.

★ ★ ★As this the next to the last “Man to Man” of the year

comes to an end, the best words that can be written right now are “Let’s get in there and hit the books. Graduation is not far away.”

Khruschev Toughest Boss In Kremlin; Power Climbs

By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER

WASHINGTON UP)—The more power Nikita Khrushchev obtains as boss of the Soviet Union the tougher and ruder his acts ap­pear to be. This may put danger­ous new strains on relations be­tween the Russians and the West.

As an example, diplomatic au­thorities cite the Soviet appeal to the U. N. Security Council to di­rect the United States to curtail its Strategic Air Comnaand bomb­er operations. The Soviet Union lost on this issue in the Security Council Monday.

Officials here say somebody blundered by raising the issue in that way. They believe that man was Khrushchev.

One major question in world affairs today is what effect Khrushchev’s emergence in a position of seemingly dictatorial powers will have on Soviet

This question cannot be answer­ed fully. But those who make it their business to analyze Soviet behavior are worried. Khrush­chev is acting like a man who arbitrarily orders others to act and finds out only later that his

order was ill considered. In a dictatorial system the danger is that the dictator will compensate for errors by resorting more and more to repressive measures against potential critics.

The Soviet charge that U. S. bombers were flying toward Rus­sia and risking starting World War III did not surprise State Department authorities very much. They figured that probably the Russians wei-e in fact worried about operation of planes packing H-bombs and that they also saw an opportunity,to put the United States on the defensive on an is­sue which might eventually come up in a summit meeting.

But Russia’s introduction of the problem into the Security Council was a real surprise. It should have been evident to Khr- ushkhev that the Soviets risked a peremptory rebuff, which i§ what happened Tuesday.

Scholar Exchange Backed by Students

Back at the cave, the Battmen are flexing their wings. Prepar­ing for the first ’59 flight, sched­uled for May 1. And some of them will be flying for the very first time.

★ ★ ★With the new Batts in the air,

surely some one will shout: It’s a bird, it’s a plane, no—it’s Stupid Man.

I Hope someone does—so pro­per mention of same can appear here.

Stupid Man, indeed.★ ★ ★

Here’s a gasser.Regrets to all the Ags which

have suggested this particular candidate for Mother of the Year.

Bill Libby just isn’t eligible, fellows.

Stupid Man.

A recent poll of college stu­dents across the nation shows an overwhelming majority in favor. of a recent cultural exchange agreement signed by the United States and Russia.

Eighty-eight per cent of the college men and ninety-five per cent of the coeds interviewed agree that an agreement to ex­change visits of scholars and artists between the two countries is a good idea.

Coeds seem more enthusiastic than college men over the ex­change program. This is borne out further by the fact that proportionally fewer coeds (only five per cent) indicated they think it is a bad idea.

Men of the freshman standing are more favorably disposed to­ward the agreement than are the men in other classes interviewed. They were the only group inter­viewed that did not have any un­favorable answers.

Coeds not only generally

favored the cultural exchange with Russia, but all members of two classes—sophomores and sen­iors—completely agree the idea is a sound one. Junior coeds are the least unfavorable in their com­ments.

Comments supporting opinions that the program is a good idea are generally centered around the idea that it would not only be ob­serving each other’s country first hand, but also both will develop ways to live peaceably.

On the other hand, students who feel such an exchange is a bad idea generally give the opin­ion that it is a mistaken idea to put faith in Russia’s good inten­tions with respect to the program.
