Swimming Pool
FINAL BALL
I
Very few students seemed to have given the shimming tickets on
sale during registration any thought when asked to pay one dollar for
the privilege of using the pool every day that it remains opea this term.
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.

Three Dollars
»
Students who have flayed the officials of the' college
the charge of thrge dollars put on the uniform issued by
ment to the basic students of the military science course
investigated the rumors before they passed them ,on. 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. Our family and relatives would certainly see to H
that we had the money some way or other if they just knew what It

point in mind when choosing speakers for our Assemblies. Foktnaately,
Aggies are physically hardened and can “take” an occasional hour of
misery without receiving noticeable ill effects. The etudenj b<dy, how
ever, should revolt against psuedo-Webslers that are chosen because
