Letters to the Editor
Editor,
The Battalion:
This letter is concerning the
seating for Seniors and Juniors at
home football games.
We do not think that there
should be reserve seats for every
Senior and Junior at home games
for the following reasons:
1. There are not (we don’t
think) enough seats for every
Senior and Junior and their dates
to have separate' seats.
2. Since Aggies do not sit down
at football games—what good will
reserve seats do—eliminate some
one from seeing the game who was
unfortunate enough not to get a
reserve seat ticket ?
3. A question—Will our Student
Activity Cards allow us to get our
reserve seat tickets without extra
charge ?
We would like to hear more ex
planation on this controversial sub
ject. Also, why not put it to a
vote of the student body instead of
the Student Senate?

Editor,

Well, they’ve done it again! Our
“wonderful” Student Senate has
solved the parking situation. Of
course, as usual, it’s going to
cost the students more money. Two
dollars and fifty cents, to be exact.
The price of living is going up,
eh fellas! But, I’m sure, the ad
ministration and faculty members
will be glad to share this new ex
pense since they do have the
“cieam” of all parking facilities on
this campus.
This main trouble with “their”
solution is, the traffic ticket fund
is supposed to be used for this
purpose. In the past 18 months
there has been well over $11,000
collected in this fund. The only
“student” pai'king improvement in
this time, is the lot behind Guion
Hall, which was built just prior
to last year’s football season and
it sure came in handy- for the
football fans, that is.
At present there is $8,838.84 in
this fund. I don’t know what they
are saving it for. Of course we
really don’t need it, do we ? I pro
bably shouldn’t have mentioned
this money in the fund, because if
it were important I am sure one
of our “alert” student senators
would have publicized it to the
students.
Well, we can still be thankful
for one thing, Aggies. We don’t
have to pay to use the toilets “yet’ 1 ’.

A LOOK
at the record
From its founding in 1925, Pratt & Whit
ney Aircraft has been essentially an en
gineering company. Its primary objective
has been the design and development of
new aircraft engines of superior perform
ance and dependability. The guiding
policy has always been, simply, that
technical excellence must be the para
mount objective, attained through con
stant effort to improve upon the best.
As early as 1928 Pratt & Whitney Air
craft’s Wasp engines powered Navy sea
planes which brought back world records
in altitude, range and speed from compe
titions in Switzerland, Germany and
France. The following year, Wasp-
powered Army Air Corps airplanes were
flying combat formations at 30,000 feet.
All through the 1930s the power, range
and fuel economy of the Pratt & Whit
ney Aircraft Wasp and Hornet engines
were developed, and the engines seasoned
with experience. Wiley Post, the Lind
berghs, Martin and Osa Johnson, Amelia
Earhart, Admiral Byrd and Roscoe Tur
ner were among the host of famous pilots
who made aviation history with Wasp
power.
During World War II, 50 percent of
the aircraft powerplants for the Amer
ican air arms were engineered by Pratt
& Whitney Aircraft. Three of the five key
fighter airplanes, a host of medium and
heavy bombers, and 98 percent of all the
military transports used Pratt & Whit
ney Aircraft engines.
The postwar development of the J-57
gained the company a position of engi
neering leadership in the jet field. It
powered the first jet aircraft to fly faster
than sound in level flight, and is now
used in six supersonic fighters, three
bombers and the first two American com
mercial jet transports. \
World’s foremost
designer and builder
of aircraft engines
Broadly diversified engineering careers at Pratt & Whitney Aircraft offer truly fine
opportunity for young men equipped to deal with challenging assignments. You will
find many answers to important questions about careers at P & W A in our informative
booklet. Jet Engineering. For a copy, write to Mr. F. W. Powers, Engineering Department.
