If Bill Fails
‘Aggieland tJ Price
May Be Increased
(This is the second in a series
of articles on expected results to
several A&M student activities if
a bill in the Texas legislature al
lowing collection of a compulsory
activity fee does not pass.)
By JOEL AUSTIN
Battalion Co-Editor
“If the bill authorizing colleges
and universities to collect a com
pulsory student activity fee does
not pass in the Texas legislature,
prices on yearbooks for A&M stu-
dents will be almost doubled,
and the size and quality of the an
nual will necessarily be reduced,”
said Roland Ring, manager of Stu
dent Publications.
Although optimistic about the
bill’s future in the Capitol, Bing
could easily foresee the damages
expected to A&M student publica
tions should it fail.
“The Aggieland costs Aggies
$4.50. I know of no other school in
the United States that can produce'
an annual of equal size and qual
ity as the Aggieland ’52 for such
a low price. This also is the same
price paid for a yearbook at A&M
for the last 16 years,” Bing ex
plained.
Costs Rise
Increased paper costs, as well as
cost rises for printing, photogra-
phy, binding, labor, and miscel
laneous costs included in produc
tion are up 50 to 150 per cent,
said Bing, but we can still bring
the annual to students at the same
low price.
He mentioned two money saving
innovations used by The Aggie
land to hold costs down. Delivery
Was changed to fall instead of
)pi'ing so printers could produce
Ihe book during a slack period.
Also, last year the annual con
verted from letter press printing
to photo-lithography, eliminating
costs of photo-engraving.
All Students Paid
“The annual has been sold at the
low price in years past because
100 per cent of the student body
paid for it and we kneAv how to
plan the use of our revenues and
picture scheduling,” said Bing.
He said students who paid first
semester fees and did not pay stu
dent activity fees this semester
will not be given an annual or an
opportunity to buy one.
Money received for the annual
from first semester fees, 80 cents,
has already been spent for opera
tional expenses during that period,
he pointed out.
“Only students who graduated
in January will be allowed to pay
an additional $3.70 (portion of sec
ond semester fees going to the an
nual) to receive a copy,” said
Bing.
None Sold Separately
“Students are reminded,” Bing
emphasized, “that no part of the
services sold by the activity fee
will be sold separately (No student
may buy ah athletic ticket only.)
These items all are priced at the
lowest possible cost to students
to make a package deal for them.”
Commenting on this “all or
none” stand taken by the activ
ities receiving revenue from the
$10 fee, Bing said: “I believe it is
the democratic way for every stu
dent to pay to take part.
“There is no differentiation be
tween rich and poor—each is giv
en a minimum charge for these
services. If this bill fails to pass,
a minority of students will gain
benefits while greater expenses
will be suffered by the majority
Avho Avant the services.”

The Netherlands is one-fiftieth
the size of Texas. Capt Roxs said
its toAvns and villages were not
more than tAvo miles apart.
Capt. Roxs also commented on
other aspects of America that im

you can’t find a place to park
them.”
Change Too
Soft drink machines: “Not only
can you get a drink from them,
but they’ll even change your money
for you.”
Women’s dresses: “I thought all
the women I saw on the streets
were dressed up to go to a for
mal party.”
Baseball: “The man that stands
on the little hill, and throws the

New regulations on draft
deferments for basic military
science students were released
yesterday by Col. Shelly P.
Myers, PMS&T.
The neAV regulations require
basic military science students to
pass 12 hours with 12 grade points
each semester. Only one grade of
D can be made in the four basic
semesters.
Col. Myers said these minimum
requirements must be met each se
mester if the student expects to
keep his deferment.
“A student who meets the min
imum academic standards is auto
matically eligible for a military
deferment, provided sufficient de
ferment quotas are available and
he possesses the required leader
ship potential,” Col. Myers said.
“A student who fails to meet the
scholastic standards for each se
mester will be referred to a de
ferment board for consideration on
continuing his deferment,” he add
ed.
Col. Myers said three separate
reviewing groups have been set
up to judge whether or not a stu
dent who does not meet the scho
lastic requirements is still eligible!
for a deferment.
These groups are senior branch
military instructors; a defer
ment board, composed of two
Army officers and tAvo faculty
members; and the PMS&T, Col.
Myers said.
Myers Final Authority
“I Avill be the final authority on
student deferments,” he said.
Other deferment requirements
covered in the new regulation are:
® At the end of the first year
of basic military science a student
must have a minimum of 26 hours
and 26 grade points, Avith a min
imum of one D and one C in mili
tary science.
© At the end of the first semes
ter of the second year basic a
student must have a minimum of
42 hours and 42 grade points, with
a minimum of one D and two C’s
in military science.
• At the end of the second year
basic a student must haAm a min
imum of 60 hours and 60 grade
points, and an average of at least
C Avith not more than one D in
military science.
“Any time a student fails to
demonstrate acceptable qualities
of leadership, interest, aptitude,
and traits of character, he will be
referred to the deferment board,”
Col. Myei’s said.
“We are going to do everything
possible to give deferments to all
students who want them, provid
ed these men show they will make
good Army officers,” he said.
Copies of the regulation issued
by Col. Myers will be distributed
to all basic military science cadets.
Similar regulations for air science
cadets Avill be released later this
Aveek.
