This increase in pages also caused a reduction in the e of pictures in these sections, an increase in the cost of pro- ling the annual. The increased t, necessarily, has been passed to the students through in- eased page cost. The new activities section would ture, probably in chronological der, the events of the A&M year, eldon Nash, activities section itor, said. He said there hasn’t en an activities section in the nual since 1959. The past two Jgielands have pictured activi- 1 To Cut Section ties in “snap shots” peppered throughout the book. Putting activities in a special section would permit deserved cov erage of such events as bonfire, SCONA, dances and Parent’s Day. Several pictures and a brief sketch of an event would be more mean ingful both to students and to others who might pick up the Ag gieland, Nash said, than “wild” pictures scattered through the pages. Forced addition of pages to the Aggieland caused the Aggieland to drop the activities section in the 1960 edition. For many years the Aggieland, and the Longhorn be fore it, were kept down to a neat 500 or so pages. However, in 1960 the book jumped from 505 pages in 1959 to a whopping 515 pages. Last year the annual had an un precedented 535 pages, excluding the index. Coppedge said the only way to reinstate the activities section and still keep the Aggieland down to a readable size (he wants to re turn to 500 pages this year) would be to omit the senior favorites. The “favorites’ section of the an nual was initiated in 1917. Coppedge said the few May graduates who have already turned in pictures for the senior favorite section of the Aggieland would have their pictures and fees re funded as soon as possible.
