THE BATTALION Page2 College Station, Texas Friday, September 28, 1962 | Looking Back . . . i At This Week Time Article Stuns Campus In a week full of big stories, none received such impact as the article on A&M in this week’s issue of Time magazine. Written by a former member of the faculty in the Department of English, the article is still on everyone’s lips and has provoked various comments and even let ters to the magazine’s editors. No statement has been made by the administration, however, and the controversy seems to be slowly fading away. ★ Webb To Speak At Convocation James E. Webb, administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, was named principal speaker Tuesday for the A&M Convocation here Nov. 16. The System Board of Directors’ response to the Century Council, awards to former students and various opep houses and special programs are scheduled during the all-day festivities. Webb was named director of the huge NASA project by Pres ident Kennedy in 1961. Pre viously he served in law, avia tion, business and education. ★ Enrollment Passes 8,000 Fall semester enrollment was officially placed at 8,097 Monday after the end of registration the previous Saturday. The figure is well over last fall’s 7,694 and the highest here since 1949. ★ Gridders Drop Season Opener Nationally ranked LSU spoiled Hank Foldberg’s debut as head football coach by whipping the Aggies, 21-0, last Saturday in Baton Rouge. * Nevertheless, the Cadets are favored to notch their first ’62 win Saturday night over the Houston Cougars. The Cougars knocked off Baylor last weekend, 19-0. ★ Library Plans Big Expansion Construction plans to more than double A&M library facili ties were announced Thursday by Library Director Robert A. Houze and Dean of Instruction W. J. Graff. The $1.5 million expansion pro gram is due to be completed by 1965.. Work will begin next summer. Preliminary drawings are be ing prepared to enlarge the pres- Sound Off Editor, The Battalion: Since I have been here at A&M all I have heard about is study ing, grade points, grade flags, etc. With all this emphasis on grades it seems only logical that the mess halls would serve cof fee with the evening meal. I am sure a cup of “dope” or two would prevent one from passing out during Call to Quarters and would improve grades. William D. Wright, ’66 RAO DRIVE-IN NEW DELIVERY SERVICE 7:30 P. M. til 11:00 P.
