EDITORIAL WRITER Editor, The Battalion: The article appearing in your editorial columns recently entitled, “Car Repairmen jtond a Home,” has hit at what appears to me to be the chief sore spot on the A&M campus. For an institution that en joys world-wide renown as a lead ing agricultural and engineering college, the condition of the roads on the campus is to be severely criticized, notably those more fre quently traveled, i It is true that some “hit or miss so what?" attempt has been made to fill the chug holes mentioned in the, above article, but the resultant “fills” have more generally been too little or too much, resulting in a corduroy-like surface. Why not do the job right or not at all ? Re surfacing campus- roads would be excellent training for future Tex as Highway Engineers. While I’m doing some yapping, I may as well cast a few more remarks out to the varying winds with the hope that they will find lodging in the minds of the high er hrasa. .j Present construction as well as hat proposed is fine for our Alnm Mammy.

Now with summer coming on ain, I am reminded of the last en studies were still necessary despite the oppressive and uhre- U>nting heat. Of course, every- oh thought that air conditioning would be fine. > It is quite obvious that some b’ijildings would be entirely impos- mble to 'economically air condition. Lilt it stems to me that of all places where air conditioning would be: desirable at any expense, the library should be so considered. Despite; the inadequate and impro per distribution ! of fans in the mjain reading room, the air last summer was so oppressive that no proper amount of concentration ccjuld be applied to research prob lems or reading, | Since this is an institution of higher learning, that learning could be no better assisted than to pro vide a refreshing and stimulating degree of temperature in the sur rounding area of the stacks and reference material.

Let’s build for all—not for one. E. Edward Frix, .’49. (Editor’s Note: Poor roads, old buildings, air conditioning, and construction program—these are some of our favorite subjects for editorializing. » Confidentially, Frix, in this letter, did as good or better job on these subjects than we have been doing.) POST GRAD STUDIES Editor, The Battalion I was very much interested in your editorial, “Employer* Set Some Standard*,” in Monday’* Bat talion—particularly in the Hugge*- tion that the curriculum be in- crea*e<l to five year* In order to allow time for oqr student* to •iudy more "of the humanitle*. Thl* objective i* moat worthy, but 1 could, given time and space, «u| gent renHonn why ihl* solution hot likely to be adopted soon, if adopted, Is not likely to solve the problem on a long-term basla. It I* a shame that so few Aggies know that A&M I* making a heml- oh attack on this problem In Post Graduation Studies. Post Gradua tion Studies gives every A&M {graduate an opportunity for the equivalent of another year of edu cation and another degree, through readings in the humanities and i^o. rial science*. May I make one comparison between your year suggestion and A&M’« plan —’an economic comparison? Since the average cost of a 3- hour course in Post Graduation Studies is about $26, the cost of 36 hours of credits is about $432. Thc^e 36 hour* are equivalent to one year of college and entitle the Aggie graduate to the addi tional degree of bachelor of phil osophy, all obtained while the graduate is fully employed. Now what A’ould these 36 hours pf credit cost\ if taken in resi dence? The student knows better than I. Can you\stay in College for nine months for $1000? Any way, that is a good round number, so let’s use it \ Y - However, the student^ expendi ture for nine months not the only cost of a year in \College. There is also a loss in eagnings. As a college graduate, suppose you are able to earn $250 per month. Some earn more, some less. Then the loss in earnings is $2250 during nine months. ThiffA indirect cost added to the direct N cost ($1000) makes a total cost of about $3250 for that fifth year in College. Getting the equivalent education through Posrt; Graduation Studies costs about ! 432. I »' H / •* :! /! . , $3250 as compared to $432! Why would it not be a good idea for all Aggies to .get behind A&M’s i lan of Po! t Graduation Studies ml make it a big success? '' \ Y. M.
