1 Students whose girls are flunk-
f ™"fng them in college can relieve the
Stension through the MSC’s mid
night mail service.
I The frustrated cadet, who late at
flight scribbles his passions instead
of his calculus, can mail the man
uscript minus several grade points
I without having to wait until the
post office reopens.
I Mail placed in the box at the
- RISC main desk is put on the 1
a. m. train. The service is handled
solely by MSG employes. Routing
K ; |he mail for distribution is not
done by the MSC. Student Center
o employes take it to the depot. The
gliinail is then placed on the train
Kyhere It is sorted.
I Suggested by the MSC House
SyCommittee, the service has been
^ operating for about a year. It is
- an outgrowth of the old midnight
ffijpiail service that was operated by
students.
I Under the old system, mail was
placed in boxes on the campus and
^Atudents would take it to the

depot. Each time a student left a
letter in one of the boxes, he
would deposit a nickel with it. The
student picking up the letters
would take the money as pay for
his services.
“We think our system is work
ing better,” said Wayne Stark,
MSC director. “From all indica
tions, it has been a tremendous
success.”
Aggies getting “that old feel
ing” send about 600 letters a
night, he said. To make sure mail
will be picked up in time, it should
be in the box by 12 o’clock, Stark
said.
Foreign Students
Increase to 92
Seventeen new foreign students
enrolled in the 1 college for the
spring semester, revealed Assist
ant Dean of Men Bennie Zinn.
Students representing thirteen
foreign countries entered at mid
year to bring the total foreign
student enrollment of the college
to 92, Zinn said.
Entering students were George
W. Anderson of Canada, Osvaldo
Andrezejewski of Brazil, Ernesto
Gomez Bachtold, P. Oscar Coin-
dreau, Guillermo Corral and Eli-
gio Guarjado and Jose Passin Cha-
mut of Mexico.
Humberto A. Calderon of Peru,
Daihyen Baick of Korea, Jose Ra
mon Castillo of Venezuela, Ram-
pung Dissamarn of Thailand, Ga-
bay Sabit of Turkey, Ernesto Ben-
edicto Ledesma of the Philippines,
Maurico LeSage of El Salvador,
Fernando Daniel Montes of Hon
duras, Arnold R. Samtpr of Ger
many, John Saravanja of Costa
Rico and Karl Pfenniger of Switz
erland.
Graduate School
Enrollment Raise
An increase of 5.5 per cent in
graduate school enrollment over
last year, was revealed by Dr. Ide
P. Trotter, dean of the graduate
school. The current enrollment is
422.
“This would seem to indicate,”
Dean Trotter said, “that the de
cline in graduate enrollment of
the last few years has about end
ed. It would be likely now that
future graduate enrollment would
run about equal to the preceding
year for a short time, after which
it is expected to turn upward
rather sharply.”
Dean Trotter praised every de
partment in the college for its
part in strengthening and enlarg
ing graduate enrollment.

EE Department to Install
TV Test Station in 1953
A TV station for instruction and
research will be installed here next
year, said Wi T. Matzen of the
electrical engineering department.
The TV equipment was donated
to A.&M last December by the
Westinghouse Electric Corpora
tion.
Still in the planning stage, the
station will have sending and re
ceiving equipment including sound
and picture transmitters. The de
partment plans to teach advanced
electrical engineering students
techniques of the television indus
try.
The equipment was formerly in
stalled in the Westinghouse Stra-
tovision plane. This plane, the in
vention of former student Charles
(Chili) Nobles, ’39, was designed
to provide a flying relay station
for a television network. The net
work would have reached every
American home.
Banquet Ticket Sales
Top ’52 With 428
Ticket sales for the junior ban
quet have reached 428, approxi
mately 75 over last year’s sales.
Including individual guests, this
means 460 people will attend the
dinner, said Pete Wright, ticket
sales chairman.

EDITORS’ NOTE: Dr. Stack has
this to say: “Mr. Smith has prov
ed that he understands the prob

he is competent to solve it,
through the penetration of his
rapier-sharp insight to the very
crux of the rating system. Bully
for him.”
