Lasso Making Good Progress; to be
Issued in May Says Editor Rushing
BANTERINGS
By BELSEV
Thinking about this country and
her conflict with the Japs I thought
of the Initials U.S.A. and what they
should mean to all of us.
The letter U stands for united.
Wn us a nation are united and will
remain that way forever. Wc cannot
fall as long as we are united In this
fight for a better world. United we
stand divided we fall. We are united
with one another In this conflict and
have forgotten our petty grievances
and differences for the moment.
We are also united with other(
nations of the world. Britain Canada
Australia China and the Dutch East
Indies stand united with us in this
cause. We are a brotherhood of unit-
ed nations and in our unity lies our
strength and power.
The letter S would stand for sac-
rifice for that Is something that all
of us will have to do. One will give
his life on the field of battle the
next may die In a naval engagement
this man will not lose his life but he
will work longer hours have less
entertainment and eat less sugar
that the war might continue. This
woman will take a defense course
and will work In a factory. Perhaps
this mother gave three of her sons
to the armed forces. And so the list
of sacrifices that will be made con-
tinues. We cannot win this war with-
out sacrifice every day every week
until the war 1b brought to a success-
ful conclusion.
The letter A stands for action.
These are days of action not of sloth
and slumber. There is work for each
of us and we must arise to the call
of battle and do our share. It will
take united sacraficlal action on the
part of each citizen to win this war.
Let us not idle and waste the precious
moments which lie before us. We
win htivo to no out and meet with
the enemy with vigorous action. We
cannot wait at home expecting to
win the war by merely defending
ourselves. When we are discouraged
and the situation seems hopeless
may we all remember U. S. A.
means united sacrificial action to
win this war.
I have received many letters in
answer to the editorial last week
asking for suggestions on the man-
ner in which we students can help
the defense program. Many sugges-
tions have been proffered and some
of these letters have been published
in another part of the paper.
Read them over and decide which
ones would be best to carry out.
Remember it Is our duty to help ard
we can If we earnestly and sincerely
desire to do so.
If the Texas Conference is still
playing football next season the
Jackets may be playing San An-
tonio's new Alamo Stadium what
with Trinity University to be moved
to that South Texas City.
Spring seems to be on the way
even though It has been cold the past
few days. Students have noticed you
don't need a flashlight to go to 8
a. m classes anymore and some of
the boys say they can go to breakfast
at Howard Payno Hall without hav-
ing to feel their way across the cam-
pus In the pre-dawn darkness.

Dear Uncle Sam:
Yesterday In my newspaper I
read about Fuller Patterson a Vir-
ginia flyer with the RCAF. Just be-
fore his last flight ho said "I pity
those who living live In fear of
death." That made me very proud
of you Uncle. I'm glad that you
stand for freedom from fear for all
people. I'm glad that here In the
United States we have a president
who says "We prefer to retain the
eagle as it Is flying high and strik-
ing 'hard."
I am Just an average young Ameri-
can but you havo given me every
opportunity to live a free and happy
life. 1 1 can go t school and study the
subjects I choose. I can have recrea-
tion and friends. I can laugh without
being afraid. I can read what I please
end f orni. my own ..opinions I can
Radio Course Is
Put Off Because
Of Gov't. Money
The proposed radio course which
was to be taught here by a Brown-
wood electrical engineer has been
postponed because of a lack of money
In the fund from which the money to
start the course was to be drawn.
Announcement of the decision to
postpone the course was made by
Wendell Mayes manager of Radio
Station KBWD.
The school was to be sponsored
by the government In cooperation
with the college and the radio sta-
tion. Mr. Mayes said that the fund has
been temporarily exhausted and the
school In radio engineering funda-
mentals would have to be postponed
until another government appropria-
tion for this type of work is made.
It was suggested that students de-
siring to take tho course continue
to register should new funds bo made
available at a later date. There can
be no Information at the present
time however on when the course
might be started if ever.

Ufo and freedom.
