Physical Exams On Tap Feb. 13-16 For AF Contracts Physical examinations for stu dents interested in applying for advanced Air Force ROTC con tracts will be given Feb. 13-16. According to Maj. B. F. Smith, assistant professor of air science, students who have completed ba sic air science and want to apply for an advanced contract effective at the beginning of the spring se mester, should report to Room 311 of the Military Science Building as soon as possible. Students not currently enrolled in AS 201 must report to Room 311 not later than Feb. 6 to be enrolled for a physical and exe cute necessary forms. Did you ever wonder where the money goes that you pay for park ing and traffic violations on cam pus ? Did you ever “cuss out” the KK’s for handing out tickets for the slightest infraction of the rules. Probably so, especially if you have tangled with one of the men-in-blue and his ticket book. Before World War II, however, no student attending A&M was allowed to keep a car in Brazos County. Most of the streets on the campus at that time were designed for horses and horse- drawn vehicles, and for march ing. For example, Military Walk was used solely for marching— no traffic of any kind was allow ed. After World War II, the situa tion suddenly changed. With A&M’s enrollment expanding ra pidly, many students didn’t want to leave their cars at home. In 1946, the college began re gistering all cars to be kept on campus and a fee of 25 cents was charged. This entitled the student to keep his car on the campus as long as he was a stu dent at A&M. The student was given a metal tag when he paid his fee which he displayed on his car to signify its registration. When the student dropped school or was graduated, the metal tag was to be turned back in. There was no refunds. The 25 cent fee was to cover the cost of the metal tag; the registering of cars was simply to 35 Corps Cadets Given Promotions Thirty-five cadits were promot ed in the Corps of Cadets accord ing to a general order dated last Friday.

Instead of receiving a metal tag to put on their cars, students were given decals to place on their windshields. From 1946 — 1956, faculty mem bers were also charged 25 cents to register their cars and after 1956, were charged $1 per car every two semesters. The cost of maintaining the parking lots and other traffic con trol devices was paid for by state funds. These funds never amount ed to much and, as a result, many of the parking lots were in pret ty bad shape. OFFICERS (Continued from Page 1) expected of college graduates; and advanced tests, which test the stu dents in their major fields of study. Graff, in his initial appearance before the Senate, said A&M probable would not adopt the area tests, but would be interested in the advanced and aptitude tests. Waddell explained that the of ficers felt the advanced tests would be inappropriate because they did not cover precisely every field of study offered at A&M. “Many students w r ould find themselves taking tests in some thing they know relatively little about,” Waddell said. Initial plans, though never very firm, called for placing test re sults on every student’s permanent academic record, if the exams were approved. According to Waddell, however, Graff has said that the results could possibly be placed on just one record—in Graff’s office. If the exams are approved, they will probably be offered this year’s senior class free of charge. The officers claim this should be an established precedent in the future. The class officer recommenda tions were drawn up after four basic questions were asked Graff. These questions were: 1. Will all graduates be given both advanced and aptitude tests, even though some students’ maj ors aren’t covered in the advanced tests? 2. Will scores be placed on per manent academic records. 3. Will participation be a re quirement for graduation? 4. What will be the cost of the exam to future classes? Since the plan is in the first introductory stages, none of the questions are definitely answered. The Senate’s decision will go far toward deciding the answers. Waddell has urged all seniors to discuss the exams with the class officers before tomorrow’s Senate meeting. Officers other than Waddell are Chuck Cochran, vice president; Charles Moore, secretary - treas urer; Johnny Martinez, social sec retary; Don Dodgin, historian; Gary Anderson, entertainment manager; and Jim Davis, head yell leader. In 1958, the state legislature pased a bill which required that no state funds were to be used for parking lots, traffic control dt' vices and similar expenses. The administration then decide! to raise the automobile registra. tion fees in 1958 to their preset! rate of $3 per semester for stu dents and $7.50 per year for facul- ty and staff. If a faculty member desired i reserved numbered parking place on the campus, he was required to pay an additional $2.50 per year. A parking facilities account was created at the same time to re ceive the money collected from the above mentioned fees. This account is also a depository for all reinstatement fees (fines) col lected. At the present time, these re instatement fees are, for a nou- moving violation, $2; for a mov ing violation, $5. There is a 72- hour time limit in which the fee must be paid, or a penalty of $5 is added to the original fee. The parking facilities account funds are used for new lights for the parking lots, repaving the lots, paying two campus securi ty patrolmen for traffic duty and putting up traffic signs. Since the fund was created in 1958, it has provided complete drainage and leveling, surfacing and lighting of the Walton Hall parking lot, the lot behind Dora 17, the parking lot west of Law Hall, the Guion Hall parking lot, the Duncan area fish and sopho more parking lots, and the day student lot behind the Petroleum Engineering Building. The fund receives about $40,000 from registration and reinstate ment fees and almost all of this is used each year in improving existing facilities or in building new ones. The money from the parking facilities account cannot be used for any purpose other than park ing and traffic control improve ment on the campus. Bees of diffrent species some times join in battle as each side seeks to carry off the honey of the other. The battleground is strewn with dead and dying bees, in cluding opponents locked together in death grips. CHAIR SALE SAVE UP TO 50% ALL KINDS KRAFT FURNITURE CO. 208 S.
