Fate Takes Greedy Look
At Students’ Pockethooks
A set of circumstances aimed at each student’s pocket-
book will loom at registration next fall after the announce
ment last week that the Board of Directors has approved a
33 per cent increase in dormitory room rent.
This increase, plus a proposed hike in tuition for all state
colleges and universities, might mean an increase in costs of
$100 for each student. The tuition increase is still not final,
pending legislative action when the next session opens in
January.
We find it hard to object to the apparent need for both
increases, but the timing may prove discouraging to many
students who find it hard enough to pay their fees as it is.
The room rent increase appears to be the only real solu
tion to a problem of finances apparently faced by more than
one institution. The facts are simple—rent has been collected
for practically every available room on campus and the opera
tion of dormitories is still in the red.
If many rooms were vacant, facts of the case would shed
a different light. However, this is not the case, as many stu
dents who were forced to live three-to-a-room for a time
can attest. Past deficit years could possibly be blamed on
vacant rooms, especially in 1959 when dormitory operational
cost were $56,974 in the red. But this year, with rooms filled
to near capacity, losses will still total $6,607.
With new dormitories being planned and other improve
ment underway, it seems apparent something had to be done.
Fate just seemed to dictate that both changes be made at
once.

Editor,
The Battalion:
I would like to address my let
ter to W. R. Allen, ’62; Bobby
L. McCorkle, ’65; Dave Coulson,
’65; and R. S. Riquelmy. I have
just one question to ask: “Why
are you at A&M?”
There are plenty of other
schools which have equal or bet
ter educational facilities; in addi
tion, they don’t have the spirit,
the 12th Man, bonfire, yell prac
tice, etc. These other schools
have just what you want—an at
mosphere of indifference to the
school itself and its traditions.
I don’t claim that A&M is per
fect; it’s far from it, but I hap
pen to like the school and respect
its traditions. The saying that
“Highway 6 runs both ways” is
trite, but never have I been able
to find a more fitting occasion
for it.
Mr. Allen and Mr. McCorkle:
as for the aerial incident, I com
pletely agree with you. No doubt
the driver of the car, not having
to attend yell practice, was in
a great hurry to get that beer
he cbuld drink since he was not
forced to be at the yell practice.
It might have taken a couple
of minutes more to go another
route, and I realize that he could
n’t wait.
As for the students who were
pinned by his car, they should
have been at the dorm instead of
helping the rest of us yell for
our .team. Of course, I’m not
including you or your sympathiz
ers in the “our;” I realize you
want no part of it, and are con
tent to be parasites, enjoying the
benefits of our traditions but
adding nothing.
Mr. Coulson: Is the spirit only
for the Corps ? If so, it’s men
like you who have made it so.
Sure they call the civilians “non-
regs,” etc.; what do the civilians
call the Corps ? Remember the
terms the Army and Air Force
outfits use to describe each other;
there seems to be no undue hard
feelings because of that. As for
“whipping out” and “speaking,”
you’re an Aggie, too, or am I
wrong? Does it really hurt to
speak first or be the first to
“whip out” even if you are a
civilian ?
Oh, What Joy

Joyce’s! Joyce’s has a
superlative selection of
gifts in all price ranges.

chic. Make it a joyous

It’s not up to the Corps to in
itiate school spirit; it’s up to all
of us. The civilian students need
to realize that they are neither
better nor worse than the Corps.
A few civilian students have the
idea that they are big shots be
cause they don’t have to wear
uniforms or get up Saturday
morning and drill, and these few
have caused the enmity between
the two groups. Yet there are
men in the Corps who are just
as bad, going to the other ex
treme. If we can learn to ignore
these extremists on both sides,
we can affect a merger of Corps
and civilians into one group:
Aggies.
I’ve been saving the best for
last, for I would like very much
to meet Mr. Riquelmy. I would
like to make a fe,w additions to
your list; you forgot Silver Taps,
Corps Trips, Final Review, sen
ior boots, the Aggie ring and
Aggie Muster. I’d hate to see
you have to contend with any
thing resembling tradition. None
of these institutions, especially
Religious Emphasis Week, which
you mentioned, add anything at
all to our “book education,”
which I know you consider to be
“all-important.” The fact that
a majority of the students at
A&M respects these traditions
means nothing. I have other
things I’d like to say to you, and
I extend an invitation to you to
come by and see me. I’m in
Walton D-3.
Y r es, I’m a civilian student, but
after last Thursday, I’m not too
proud of it. I read three letters
in The Battalion which made me
ashamed to be seen on campus
lest I be mistaken for one of you
four, or one of your breed. You
represent the “two-percenters,”
as Mr. Coulson calls them, and
to date, you’re doing a fine job
of it.
