NO MONOPOLY
jt is understood that fee Bryan and < oIUk*
Station city governing bodies are considering croa-
110,1 of * ^nsportation monoiwly between fee fwo
nties The Battalion herewith expresses fee bo])rfj
that the student body as a whole-fee group of
persons most vitally affected by any transportation
change—would disapprove such action.
Students here have seen enough of monopoly.
There’s enough of it on fee campus and in Bryan to
make them oppose fee granting of another one.
Some time ago The Battalion proposed a pl.u
of allowing free competition (n transportation. We
•tick by feat plan. For only if we have free com body,
petition can we expect the servim to which the
inhabitant# of the two cities are entitled.
If a monopoly is granted, it will be done be
cause fee firm to receive the benefits will make
promiaes of how it will bt handled. Once a firm
the monopoly, however, fee rosy promises
become things of fee past.
Osr attitude is feat fee two city bodies should
agree to license any taxicabs which meet reqpire-
ment* of insurance, driver and mechanical refula-
tio«^ If this is done, w* may v expect adequate
/ facilities. \
r If, on fee other hand, a monopoly is granted, we
h may not have adequate facilities, for in gragting
» monopoly, the two bodies will lose a lot of control
over the actions of fee monopolistic concern in ppite
of fee fact feat they should not do so.
StaideoU prefer cabs; we hope the College and
Bryan governments won’t make them take just
what they can get y T . 1 1 I ]
At the same tinm, fee Bryan commissioner* and
the College Council men should not be conteqt to
leove matters as they *re. We noed action, and we
tteod it quickly. W# do not, however, need "hgsty”

iag diligently at trying to make suggestions for
the improvement of A. A M. scholastically.
While we agree wife moat of their aims, we
heartily disagree with their attitude toward final
examinations. The group suggests instituting s
system of exemptions from exams, exempting either
the highest 26 per cent or exempting all with
averagas of more than 86. >
Earlier ia the year, The Battel ion asked that
Dead Week be re-instituted here, and we still look
upon that as fee only logical solution to the pre
exam week problem. j
In rejecting it, e spokesman for the Board of
Directors stated that it was rejected principally be
cause it puts too much emphasis on cramming for
txams and feat it was his attitude that student*
already pthce too much emphasis on exams.
Emphasising exams was not our
proposing Dead Week. Our attitude was that
Week would enable students, under compel
struction, to obtain a broader view of the course,
a view of fee study as a group of related topics—
aa a whole, if you will. This point was not men
tioned by the spokesman, f -J L
Does fee exemption system offer anything Dead
Week does not? Does it, hi a matter of fact, offer
as mndb? Our opinion is N6. K #
In fee first place, an exemption system does not
sward good students as much as it penalises those
who ate not so good. And that, it seems to us, is
not exactly one of the principles of education. If
exams are held to give a student s broad view
of a course, as they should be, then there is no
reason for anyone to be exempt If, on fee other
hand, finals have ceased to serve in that (capacity,
then there is no reason for anyone to be required to
tekejfi^x
I' We sincerely hope that the faculty will not insti
tute an exemption system here, but that considera
tion of Deod Week be brought before it If the
’ faculty made a recommendation to the Bofird of
Directors, it would probably be adopted When the
Board killed it before, the faculty had Uken no
positive action. Th* only thing it had done was to
appoint a committee to fevestigmte.
The faculty and the Board of Directors should
not blind themselves to the importance of the pre
exam week problem. They should not overlook it
any longer, but take some definite action to solve
