The swimming pool which represents an initial .investment of close to sevetity-five thousand dollars and is one of the. finest tx> be ftsund in the entire south, was installed for the benefit and use of the etudent body, but because of the cost of the pool and equipment it was neces- ssry to place s small charge on the students who Used it at there was I no other means of taking care of the running expense. The athletic department plans to keep the pool op«i every day of the school year for the use of the students lietween the hours of ’h > and six in the afternoon with the expeption of the 4*> t on Vvhich there will be varsity games. This represents a total of aver ope hundred days. Therefore the cost of each swim, if the student who holds the card takes advantage of each opportunity to go swimming, will cost less than a penny for a swim. At such a rate as this every student should bay the swimming ticket as'soon as possible to derive the full benefit of its use and at the same time help to defray the expense of running the pool. ? •] An estimated cost of running the pool for tie first follows: gas for heating the water—$2,000.00; •electrict chemicals—$78.00; student labor—ffioo.00 Total $R775jOO.

It the natural tendency is to pick up anything that may c earnest work of the college officials in trying to ;mak6 .t of the student at A and M as cheap as possible. I j This is seen ia the rumors that have been spreading thg last few ' means to all of us. days, and because of them an itemized list of what the thaeg dollars J covers will be published. | • .>f ' . A contract wae let to the Campus Cleaners fot the alterations of all of the uniforms when necessary, sewing on of the three R. O. T. C. patches, one Aggie patch, and the blue star for ope dollar and fift> cents per uniform. This itemized at the price that have befn paid in the past for the safne work would probably average around tsro dollars and ten cents per uniform. Another contract was let to the Exchange Store for th«) handling, sizing and distribution of the uniform. This called for the Kindling of a stock of over lla.UOtl, and also the responsibility for the egre of the uniforms as each aniform had to be accounted for and a ncord kept for each uniform ieBued. This necessitated the carrying of insurance against fire and theft. The Exchange Store also took the res| Kmsibility of ordering the correct'-iizes of the uniform. This responsibility also made necessary the hiring of another man to look after the uniforms throughout the year, ’ftiis requited some thing around $1200 for his salary. The equipment for handling, such as shelving and insurance was estimated at $400. A protection against the loss mad* the students who lose their uniform and are unabU to ' pay for them was estimated to be close to $600 per year. . A total of this estimate will reveal that there doesn’t leafe a large enough profit in the handling of the uniform to tak^ the responsibility that the ktsuer of the uniform automatically does. , . The officials erf the college hope that ^his humor has been dis credited, because their goal has been to reduce the expenses of the student at A and M in order that those who are financially uliable may attend this college. the student publications, The Battalion and The Longhorn, he certainly should make every effort to buy an athletic coupon book. • ' The appalling fact about the situation as it now stands is that the upperclassmen have been more delinquent in this important matter than have been the freshmen. Being at least credited with minds some what trained to appreciate values, economic and otherwise, it seems that a large number of the corps are lacking the well known Aggie Spirit. Let’s make every effort to get an athletic book before the next expenses j football game.
