Possibly the most dangerous thing
Texans could do at the polls next Satur-
day would be to fail to vote "against"
on the proposal to legalize race track
gambling in Texas.
On the surface, race gambling appears
a playful sport indulged in by groups of
well-financed people with nothing else
to do.
When gambling comes in, organized
gamblers come with it. Make no mistake
about this.
An argument for race track wagering
_ is that it produces revenue for the state.
The states who have it do not endorse
this idea enthusiastically. A hard fact
is that you do not produce prosperity by-
swapping dollars in a non-creative ac-
tivity.
This is an economic fact. There is a
larger human fact. There are today many
people in the Fort Worth-Dallas area
who remember the old days of the 3-D
tracks, remember them unhappily with
instances where the sport of kings pro-
dued a lot of non-sporting hardships.
Any family person can ask this ques-
tion of himself: Do I want my children
to grow up around the tracks’
As a Rhode Island senator declared:
“It's one thing to enjoy recreation. It's
quite another to stage something that
bankrupts the family."
\
Texas is doing well without race track
gambling. Your vote “against” next Sat-
urday will help keep it that way.

ning paralyzes action. Prpf Helen White,
charman of the Uinversity of Wiscon-
sin's English department, thinks the truly
educated man does better than this:
"Because he cannot know everything,
he does not refuse to act on what he does
know." '
Why bother to define what an educat-
ed man is?
Perhaps most of us can agree with John
H Fischer, dean of Columbia Univer-
sity's Teachers College, that in a society
like ours "the central element in all our
. power, in all our plans for using power,.
is the educated man."
Many of Sen. Barry Goldwater's fol-
lowers seem unaware of the fact that he
is often very cautious about claiming big
gams for conservatism on the campus
and elsewhere.
He has no doubt, he says, that there
is much greater interest in conservatve
ideas than there used to be. What he
still wonders about is how much of this-
is translating into solid beliefs and pro-
grams of action. N
in the non-scholastic world. Goldwater
indicates he will be .impressed if and
when conservative political candidates
score a string, of victories at the polls this
year.
As for the campus realm, perhaps the
senator is waiting to see if a trend de-
velops toward retitling liberal arts col-
leges to make them "conservative arts”

Statesmen and scholars have argued
for centuries over the question of what
makes an educated man.
Right now more than a dozen educa-
tors, churchmen and public officials are
addressing themselves to this matter—
and finding a good deal of common
ground. \
, Asked for their definitions by NEA
Journal, a magazine of the National Edu-
cation Association, these leaders come up
with this composite picture of the- "edu-
cated man" . .
He is. of course an energetic, persist-
ent seeker after knowledge. His quest
is not one which ends with forthal school-
ing; it goes on for a lifetime
To be this kind of tireless seeker, he
must be intensely curious, broadly .ob-
servant, able to put himself through the
gruelling tests that acquaintance wih
knowledge demands.
’ "The great disciplines are not come by
without discipline," says Allen Britton,
president of the Music Educators Na-
tional Conference.
The educated man also must put. him-
self properly in the stream of history,
and link himself with the world around
him, from the narrow confines of neigh-
borhood and community to distant na-
tions.
All of this to what purpose’
Democratic Sen. Maurine Neuberger
of Oregon, one of those the Journal ques-
tioned. says the well-schooled man learns
-"to live with himself, to be a construc-
tive member of his society, and to . . .
create a better world."
Says David D. Henry, president of the
University of Illinois:
The educated citizen ... is the hope
for fulfillment in action of the democratic
ideal; he is devoted to problem solving,
not panaceas; and he is willing to have
patience for progress, as he seeks to
apply intelligence to the civic tasks of
every day."
All of those queried voiced the idea
that acquiring knowledge is not in it-
self enough to make the educated man,
that he must use it for benefit beyond his
own—in accor with standards and val-
ues which are rkoted in individual integ-
rity and reflect humanity's interest
