Need More Like Them
In the School of Agriculture ground is being broken
everyday to insure that they will not be wanton in the balance
of enrollment next fall.
Yesterday the School’s council hosted 40 junior college
agriculture students to a one-day tour of our facilities. There
was no “arm-twisting” to get their names on our roll—none
was needed. A quick once-over of the excellent facilities at
A&M was enough to convince the young men really interest
ed in getting the very best education.
As an added attraction, they presented an agriculture
conclave last night headed by Board Member Sterling C.
Evans, former president of the Federal Land Bank in Hous
ton. It is another example of their School.
Earlier this semester in conjunction with the Depart
ment of Journalism they sponsored the nation’s first Agri
cultural News Communications Conference. It is more proof
of their earnest desire to improve their School and conse
quently their college.
Our congratulations to Dean G. W. Watson and his hard
working staff—they are the kind of men we need. We can
not have too many people working earnestly to put Texas
A&M back where it belongs—number one college of its kind—
anywhere.

Ex Says 6 Amen’
Editor,
The Battalion:
As an Aggie-ex of “01’ Army”
days I have been following the
recent campaign to minimize har-
rassment of freshmen with con
siderable interest.
I would like to compliment you
on sound, well written editorials,
add my “amen” to them that wish
you and all others working on
this campaign to really improve
A&M lots of luck.

ing at A&M.
Our two sons never come home
complaining about it—in fact we
ahvays had a good laugh about
everything that happened.
What are the boys that can’t
take it going to do when the
army calls them ? Is “mom” go

Keep the traditions and let the
pampered boys go to another

If the desire to learn is in

Failure in anything is no dis

Several obstacles seem to be de
terring the paving of student
parking areas.
First of all, last summer the
proper gravel and needed mater
ials could not be obtained to put
the parking lots in top condition,
so work was postponed until

paving the lots has been re-sched
uled to start when the weather
gets warmer.
But there is still another im
portant reason for the delay. Some
of the areas will be replaced by
buildings sometime in the future.
According to college improve
ment plan several buildings will
replace some of the lots.
New Petroleum Building
The first building that is sched
uled to be built is the new $650,000
Petroleum Engineering Building,
which will be located just east
of the present Petroleum-Geology
Building.
Part of the Day Student park
ing lot behind the petroleum
building will be occupied by part
of the building, cutting the park

E. D. Building
Students have asked why the
vacant corner behind the chemis
try and engineering buildings has
not been paved for use as a park
ing lot. This is another new build
ing site.
Plans are on the drawing board
for a new Engineering Drawing
Building. When the building is
complete the area surrounding it
will probably be used for park
ing space.
Still farther in the future is a
whole new quadrangle of dormi
tories. This new domitory area is.
planned on the present site of the
Navasota parking area.
By the time these buildings are
completed, new parking areas will
probably be developing to replace
the ones that are destroyed.
