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

Now with summer coming on

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.

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
