MR. GOODWYN—YOl JEST!
I Editor, The Battalion:
After having read the latest of
jafr'y Goodwyn’s bnliglttening ar
ticles concerning the. mess hall
ntuation at A&M, we find it im
possible to refrain from! com men t-
ng on the subject.
We have no knowledge of the
contents of the future; articles, but
income, combined with a further
decrease in the quality of the food,
will put the mess hall system at
A&M back in the black.

Does the west wing of Duncan Hall
comprise the whole mess hall sit

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-

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.
