To accomplish this monstrous task 140,000 census-takers have been employed. This is a ratio of one taker for every 1,000 peo ple.

Sports Editor —News Editors -Saving Students- Texas A&M next fall will launch a program designed to save many students who would be forced to drop out beds use of failure in a course of study for which they were not pije-j pared. * ! This is a (Aatiling reversal of procedure for colleges all over the count*, and one which it is hoped more will follow. Since the great college rush of the post-war years, stu dents have come to feel that professors were instructed to weed them out as fast as possible. Of course, this was not tho case. Professors simply have had pupil-loads they could not handle. Students be came mere number* In tho huge lecture hall*. No individual' attention wa* possible. Veteran* in colleges under tho (il-bonoflts measure could take thl* kind of treatment or rather of mass Indiffer ence. Real freshmen, the pink-checked, peach-fuzxed kind, coiild not. They dropped out, changed courses, became discouraged in droves. Colleges have not been equipped in any way to meet the demand for education. ... , Now A&M is preparing to give closer supervision to all first-year students, and don’t believe that the first-year junior from another college is any better able than* a rank freshman to cope with adjustments to a college the size of A&M and the toughness of A&M. Aggieland is no green pasture for the indolent or imma ture. It is a training ground of real discipline, and corps , spirit is something to tingle the spine.

The State Board for hospitals and special schdols has hired a firm of experts to put big business efficiency methods into a political institution. The interesting thing will be to see how this experiment works out. Many times in the past govern ment agencies have employed out side help to make specific studies of some operation. Usually the reports are read and filed to catch dust in the nearest con venient pigeonhole. First Time But never before in the mem ory of anyone in Austin has a state agency employed experts to make recommendations, then fol lowed through by hiring those ex perts to set up; the system they recommended. That’s what the ho: pital board did.! The auditing and management studying firm of Ernst and Er nst is known over the nation. It has offices in 4f7 North American cities. It conducts audits, surveys management procedures and takes on almost any ijdnd °t j°h related Gets itions Hi to industrial methods. The hospital board, impi with the magnitude of it faced in analyzing bust agement of the mental insti and other hospitals and a paid 1 ’ Ernst and Ernst $6,i a quick preliminary study was wrong. The industrial eer, after a three-month look; found plenty, and reported back to tfee board. Detract From Work Among other things it found hospitals were not doing as job as they might in curir pie of their mental ills the medical superintendeiits to spend too much time on busin management details. These su; intendents are doctors, not ness men. In some cases might be both, but they are hired primarily to check re] on egg and hog production on pital farms.

Her story, in, play form, 10 entitled “A Street- , car Named Nprth Gate,” and as you guessed it, this elongated piece of dialogue is a take-off on that contrastingly {tragic play, “A Streetcar Named Desire.” All the characters of “Streetcar” are there and even a few new ones. For instance, there’s Aunt Mammy Shufflefoot Montezuma who, after being belted mercilessly by her mistress, shuffles to a corner of. the room and methodically begins sticking pins into a small wax likeness. There’s Brahma Simple- stern, a strong, virile AH major. Brahmo “lifts barbells and dime store trinkets j to relax from the mental strains;of his R. S. course.” Oh, No! Feldspar is a friend, of Brahma’s. Oh, Nors named him husband said when he walked into the maternity ward.

Although the story of the former 1? not the most original ever Yead, the manner in which it is told and the numerous south-of-the-border re ferences seem authentic. The lat ter story concjerns what we believe to be a new! field of conflict in the den of ercativo writers’ im aginations—the competitive open war between two talent lacking music teachers in a small town.
