The month of April, 1950 has been set
aside for a nationwide nose counting. 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.
Not only will the census-taker count
you, but he will have a list of 23 to 41

This Will be Uncle Sam’s 17th census.
Not only will it be the largest this nation
has ever experienced, it will be our cost

Workers in Philadelphia and Wash
ington will transfer data obtained about
you written on the census-talcers’ form
to a card by punching holes in the card.
These cards then will be run through 32
different tabulating machines at the rate
of 400 per mihute. After aH facts and
figures have been compiled about the
American people, they will be published,

-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. This is why, as Beau
mont’s Aggie Charles Babcock says, there is no such thihg
as an Ex-Aggie.
