THE BATTALION «# a HUT SLOTTCH Page 2 College Station, Texas Thursday, October 25, 1962 M. KJA. by Jim Earle Artist Featured BATTALION EDITORIALS Tuition Raise Appears Really Little To Ask ! A&M students quite likely will find their semester tui tion raised to $100 next fall. This may seem a tragic blow at first, but we feel the increase would be a small price to pay compared to financial burdens the state and its taxpayers might shoulder. The State Commission on Higher Education agreed Tues day to ask for the tuition increase, which will need to be passed by the legislature before enactment. In addition, however, the commission raised approved budgets to $162 million, raised salaries of college presidents and added $800,000 to medical school appropriations. The simple $50 tuition increase, if approved in January by the new legislature, won’t start to finance these general improvements. It will, though, give the student a hand in seeking growth and improvement. Also some of the load will be shared— taxpayers will still carry the largest percentage, but at least students will be assisting. It seems to us the $50 tuition was a paltry price to pay for the type education offered here or at any of Texas’ state- supported college and universities. Admittedly the proposed $50 increase would impose financial hardships on some students, both here and at other schools. But there are always means of hurdling these ob stacles—at least temporarily. There is far too much to gain and virtually nothing to loose. Sound Off- Editor, The Battalion: Stand up and be counted, Class of ’64! Our fish year we were told to stick together but this year no one is telling us that. We’re going to have to do it on our own. Most of you think that we’re getting a raw deal.

We’ve been told since 1960 that our class shows the most potent ial of any class on the campus. And it does. For once, juniors had to work to even get one rock er. This is different from the past when being a junior meant that you almost automatically got two rockers because there wasn’t anyone else to fill the job. Is wearing black belts and jump boots all that bad ? And who shows himself in the better light, the man who keeps doing his best even when the chips are down, or the man who whines at every little setback ? What would we have done if a group of sophomores had gotten together, not even necessarily the whole class, and yelled, “Beat the hell out of the Class of ’64?” Think it over.
