The Battalion was pleased to’ hear that the inauguration trip of the MSC-sponsored program was considered a success. We hope nothing stands in the way of future similar trips.

All this was available for a flat fee of $10 and incidental expense for each individual participant. Naturally future trips will not include the same attrac tions, but one of a similar nature. Also coming excursions may not necessarily be to Houston, but the principle will be the same—providing a group of students with a weekend of fine programs at a cost that can only be termed a once-in-a- lifetime opportunity. We look forward to seeing students fighting for the opportunity to attend future excursions.

Wives Have Hose Ready For Use “ . . . every other outfit has a whistle jock- have a drum jock?” -why must we Sound Off- Editor, The Battalion: On behalf of the married stu dents I wish to speak out against a recent Battalion news article which stated that according to a poll, students tend to favor a hike in tuition. This so-called poll did not represent the married or graduate student, but con tained only 10 undergraduate stu dent interviews; of these, only two were out-of-state students. This is not a cross-sectional representation of the student body. It should be brought to light that single students need only to support themselves and this is largely accomplished through parental care. Why not ask the parents of these students if they would mind giving more of their hard-earned cash for tuition ? Many married students are barely able to eke out an exist ence while attending school and an increase in tuition would greatly increase their difficulties Besides, married students’ wives whether they have a college edu cation or not, are forced to work for less than mediocre wages. Undoubtedly this geographic area, on a basis of employee’s wages, falls on the extreme low end of the national scale, Hence tuition, especially for out-of state students, represents a sub stantial percentage of their year ly income. Let us heed the important aspect stressed by Governor Rich ard Coke in 1876 in his address at the opening of this college: “It has been the constant aim of the board ... to bring down to the lowest possible figure the cost of an education . . .” In attempting to adhere to the principles of the original found ers, the A&M student can now and has been able in the past, to proudly boast, high quality edu cation, at the lowest possible cost. How long will he be able to make this unique claim ? Walter Scott The Aggie Wives Council an nounced that nylon hose are now available for its member clubs. To obtain the hose, clubs can call Bernice Smith, council spokesman, at VI 6-4506 by Nov. 7. The hose, which will be used as stuffing for toys for children in state TB hospitals, was obtained by contributions of old and worn out nylon stockings.
