Texas has too many senior colleces now just
as it has too touch of almost everything in public
life. The people are .not only surfeited with .cob
leges, they also have too many courthouses, too
many taxing districts,'%» many justices of the

up in the worp of life and the woof of activity. I

We urge the earnest consideration of these sag-

for most of the student body seem to favor them and

they will be viewed through the eyes of the students

there is a state senior college at San Marcos, only

Should the two institutions be raised to senior

If the Legislature wants to be of benefit to the ,
great body of youth which never gets to go to
college, the kind which Dr. Homer Rainey, the!
preaideet-elect of this University, talks about, it
might consider the addition of the junior college
curriculum—the first two years of senior college
work—to the high schools, which would not only
reduce the burden of college education to parents
because it would keep youth at home two years
longer at leas expense, but it would also extend
thoae benefits to those students who cannot leave

faculty and authorities of the college
one of the students' reqossts, in making the Regis
trar's Office the central agency for approved student
tutoring. It is to be hoped that all students desir
ous of obUining or giving reasonably-paid tutoring
will take advantage of this opportunity in the future.
One of the points we most urge is the establish
ment of some system far final exam exemptions,
something that has been given considerable atten
tion of late. We believe that this step would probab
ly go farther than any other to improve upon the
present exam system and encourage increased and
more steady study throughout the semester. Two
main plans have been suggested for ex^mjMMprJ
.for the highest 25% of each section, or for those
making a grade of 85 er over for the semester.
We’re not sure as to which is preferable, but we
believe that some system can And should be institut

With another national political campaign still
fak in the distance, collegians nevertheless are giv
ing serious thought and action to what is going
to happen to the New Deal in 1940. While most
are just speculating on the subject, students in at
least two universities have organised to the support
of favored candidate. • | •
Most collegians feel that Democratic party
politics must wait on some definite word from
President Roosevelt before definite action can be
taken or definite predictions made. The dilemma that

This dub, hoerevef, is bitterly opposed by a
University of Michigan organisation that is asking
the re-election of the President for another term.
The Third Term Club has been set up to campaign
in the university and the surrounding territory.
This is the trend of college opinion to date. So
far, the college organisations sponsored by the two
major parties haft been most inactive. Generally _
speaking, their organisations usually are more cf- j
fective (because of national backing) than loeaUy-
formed group#, an dit is certain that they will have
more influence on the college electorate than the
smaller groups, even though the latter have a much
