Does the west wing of Duncan Hall comprise the whole mess hall sit uation at A&M ? In Wednesday’s article, it was stated that the corp.( members could save from 5 to 25 cents a day by eating eafetbkia Style. At the present family style rate of $1.20 a day this would jmeari that it is possible to eat (and wc sup pose live) on from 05 cents to $1.15 per day. Mr. Goodwyn—you jest! From our own experience (our combined weight is less than three ^Kindred pounds) and from asking numerous other veterans, wc find that the average cost fpr three, poor, single servirtg meals is no less than $1.50. We envy those who get as much as they want of the same poor food for $1.20. While bonsider- iv mm- « ' n ^ ca ^ ete ria style for these men, -or a " >; why not consider, a( the same time,' MacAr- | family Style, at $1.20 a day, fori US ? ■ : \ y It appears to up that the present cafeteria profit shopld offset the; family style loss, but if, this is not the case, we should like to re-, mind Mr. Peniston a-hd the subsis tence department that in the near; future all vetcrahs ivill receive h $10 raise. It is our sincere hope that this new, potential source of FALSE IMPRESSION Editor, The Battalion: It is our pjlinion that Larry Goodwyn Is striving to give a false! impression of the situation in the mess hall, In last Thursday’s Batt, Larry, Goodwyn made the statement that the students themselves are , re sponsible for the hidden cost that keeps thejn fioin getting the full Ivalui of (heir dollar for each dol- l; spenf. The; studerjts may be partly responsible, hut not alto gether, but the large part of this ) cost is due to ^mismanagement of I the mess hall. One reason for high dining hall expenses is the large , amount of dishes broken by : . the I waiters. • In his article Mr. Goodwyn quot ed some figures; which were beyond i all doubt incoijiieet. We can not f possibly fcee* how you can divide four, cents into $447.97 and get an even number of milk bottles. But since Larry Goodwyn did accoiii- plish this mathematical feat, we are still awed by the tremendous number of milk bottles. th Vernon A. Young, Robert F. Rhodes, and New A; Smith of the range and forestry department, ac companied by David A. Anderson of the Texas Forest Service, mot with the Nacogdoches-Lufkin Sqb-sec- tion of the "Society; of American Foresters at Naeogdochbs on Mdrch 8. jr. Young presented an illus trated lecture on “Range Manage ment Applied to the Piney Woods Region of East Texas.” In his talk Dr. Young empha sized that the control of tick fever and the abandonment of worn-out cotton fields in the South have re sulted in an influx of livestock into the area. The number of cattle in the piney woods region of the south has increased 165 Jjercent in the last five years, hp; said, and 8 million cattle currently graze in the area. , As Dr. Young stated, timber management and grazing could be carried on profitably in the same area if certain practices were fol lowed. Among the practices he mention ed were uniting small units into (in economic unit; the enforcement of fencing laws to protect the tim ber areas from over-grazing; the introduction of desirable pastures for livestock grazing during pfciiiods when the nutritional, value of the j native grasses is low; and the fped-1 ing of concentrates during critical periods. Dr. Young also suggested the improvement of livestock breeds; better distribution of livestock by proper salting and watering prac tices; feeding mineral supplements during periods of deficiency ip the native forage; and better forest management correlated with the range management practices. Tradition was adyat the principal reasojns wlij the Sent system should be Corps members cited practices of night rel in outfits, meal service Aggie traditions as beini reason why family stylel continued.
