The Aggieland Inn — A Faculty Club
No decision has beerAtpade yet as to
possible deposition of Aggieland Inn once
the Memorial Student Center has been
opened. Several proposals are being, con
sidered. One of them would, if approved
and acted upon, turn the Inn into a fac
ulty club catering to bachelor staff mem
bers.
It is regrettable that there are no bet
ter facilities for use Of staff and faculty
members than those now provided in the
IfMCA. The Y is an old building. Rooms
being rented to staff members are not
modern, convenient, nor numerous
enough. Many of the ‘Y’s’ former func
tions and activities have been taken over
by other offices’ on the campus because
they have grown too big for the ‘Y* fac
ilities. Consequently, the ‘Y’ has not kept
pace—probably through lack of necessary
funds—with the growth of the college.
Even with a complete renovation it could
not offer all fhe necessary facilities and
services needed by our present staff.
The Aggieland Inn, on the other hand,
has greater potential. It would make an
ideal faeulty club. The rooms are plea
sant. There are adequate dining and lunch
room facilities
