CAMPUS
If the bill removing the Rock Chalk Revue from the YMCA and giving it to the ASC is passed it may mean the end of the YMCA as an active campus organization. The Y receives only a small amount of money from the Campus Chest and the proceeds of the Rock Chalk Revue are used to pay an executive secretary, who holds the organization together.
NATIONAL
There will probably be a small drop in enrollment for the second semester. This drop, however, will not signify any trend, merely the dropping out of the few students who couldn't make the grade. NATIONAL
The death rate on the nation's highways will hit an all-time high during the Christmas holidays. Beware! Don't be a statistic.
If the proposed budget raise for the Air Force goes through, at the expense of the other two services, there may be a raise in the number of AFROTC commissions given.
In all probability, Defense Secretary Charles E. Wilson will take back some of his cuts in Army strength. It seems that the figures just don't add up. The Army will be losing too many men for the number of men it will be getting.
Although the latest proposal on a combined draft and Universal Military Training law will not get through Congress, a new one will soon replace it. Defense-minded people are beginning to worry and the next bill will probably pass, as it will have a lot more support.
President Eisenhower's State of the Union address will be more than glittering generalities this time. He is going to start laying down the law, as he knows he must if he is going to carry through his policies.
INTERNATIONAL
Look for Russia to consider the atomic proposal offered by President Eisenhower for quite a while before giving any definite answer. In all probability, it will refuse the offer because it doesn't trust us.
The Communist trial of Lavrenti P. Beria will be held in the "tradition" of all previous Red purges of "enemies of the state." He will be convicted of treason and will soon be executed.
Remember that for fast travel, your airlines even have Santa's reindeer beat.
