Why Grow Old?
By Josephine Lowmon

The change from summer fun
to college days is quite a sud-
den change. In fact. the switch
from summer tempo with out
door meals, rest periods in the
sunlight. play clothes and pa
per napkins, to more formal and
demanding fall and winter; pro-
vides a change of pace for ev-
cry one.
Psychologists tell us that the
happieSt folks are those who
live richly in the present all
through their lives. Those young
people who throw themselves
into college studies and activi-
ties will enjoy the vacation time
more than those who just mill
along all year through.

of the value of change of pace
and have often thought, when

While you are in college. make
that time count with good hard
work. You will enjoy your play
times much more if you do. I
realize that this sounds a little
like telling you to knock your
self on the head with a hammer
because it will feel so good when
you stop. However. it does give
you lift to do enthusiastically

A Few Customs
And Traditions

Here are a few customs and
traditions at the Naval Academy:
The Cap and the girl: When
ever a young lady dons the cap
Of midshipman (Which usually
contains his gals picture in the
crown, labeled "A Berkshire
Product hat reallyD it is
traditional that the midshipman
is entitled to a kiss. Though he
must use discretion, each mid
shipman should do his best to
uphold the tradition! Dum-da-
dum-dum!
June week: Big eliminating
event for the first classmen, who
hold the traditional Ring Dance
and the plebes are allowed to
drag for the first time!

tine sailing from Scotland to
Virginia. He is now. most rev.
erently, called the Father Of
the Navy"
What is the first thing you
think of when you hear Navy.
I mean besides the Army Navy
game? The Naval Academy, of
course, or as the Midshipmen
lightly CD call it, The Sing
Sing on the Severn!"
Last week end was the first
time the class of 1857 had con-
tact with the outside world. The
event? The Open House for par
entS and guests.
Amid the dress whites" pa
radeS, meal formations, sailing,
a musical revue and a grand
tour of the Academy, the life
of the plebe intrigued me to no
end!
The plebe is not allowed 70
drag (date) for the entire year.
(This obviously cramps stylesD
He salutes anything in stripes I!
He must maintain a military
brace at all times. If the plebe
is asked a question and doesn't
know the answer, he replies, "I'll
find, out, sir" And does so, i'm
mediately! He must always be
on time, obey his upperclass-
men, learn all the Navy songs
and cheers, know the names of
any large ships entering An
napolis, know how many days
there are left before the Army
Navy game and graduation, and
while eating, the plebe always
keeps his eyes straight ahead
("in the boat").
These are just a FEW!
You think that's hard, just
wait till the upperclassmen re-
turn in a week!

Five Points to Remember
On Football Troininu

Way back in 1918, Knute
Rockne, teenager of 18, and
his buddy. Gus DoraiS, perfected
the forward pass for Notre Dame
which revolutionized football.
(Well, catch that crazy ballD
Too bad Knute isn't around
to see his famous play in action
between the big arch rivals of
Gonzaga and st. Johns; Wash
ington and Lee and George
Washington; Montgomery Blair
and Bethesda Chevy Chase, and
defending mpion Wilson
against Roosevelt and Coolidge.
Football season is undoubtedly
here. Captains and co-captainS
are being elected, cheerleaders
start practicing and training

Of history of el game), the first
football game played in the
United States was between Rut-
gers and Princeton in 1861, and
they had Is men, yet, instead of
the usual IL. The game developed
from the English Rugby and was
banned in America for some
time. They used to score by
having the ball go under the
bar, and not between the posts.
Hey gals. if your steady fell
low is on the team, forget about
dates until November. Yikes,
what's this action?

five important points to be re-

May Make Threat
Of Reducing All
Financial Aid
By JACK BELL

WASHINGTON Up - President
Eisenhower probably will have to
decide this week whether he wants
to put heavy financial pressure on
Americas allies to speed agree
ment on a West European army.
The House last week voted to
withhold by law about a billion dol
lars in foreign aid funds until Euro
pean Defense Community treaties
are ratified. Yesterday, Sen. Taft
(R-Ohio) suggested a compromise
which would give the President
discretionary authority to do the
same thing.
Legislative leaders may find out
at White House conference
Wednesday whether the President
believes such a financial threat to
West European nations would be
wise.
The edo treaties, ratified so far
only by Western Germany, would
call up 100000 men from six ma
tons for service in unified army.
Livingston T. Merchant, assist
ant secretary of state, told the Sen
ate Foreign Relations Committee
in testimony on the foreign aid bill
he believes "the logic of events"
will bring ratification of the edo
treaties also by France, Italy, Bel
GUM, The Netherlands and Lux
embourg.
Merchant said:
1--WE must not, in my judgment,
become impatient and make the
passage of edo and ratification
by a certain date a condition pre-
&C ant for aid ]"
The testimony of Merchant and
other officials, taken behind closed
doors by the committee, was made
