At This Week
CADET SLOUCH
by Jim Earle
Rent Increased
In Apartments
Married students opened this
week with the realization that
rent in College View and Pro
ject House apartment areas will
be increased next fall.
The System Board of Directors
ruled last Saturday that rent in
each student housing area will be
increased $10 a month beginning
next September. The new rates
will be $40 and $48 in College
View and $52.50 in Project House
apartments.
President Earl Rudder, who
asked for the increase, said the
apartments had operated at a
$91,000 loss over the past three
years.
Flu Scare
Proves False
What was first believed to be
a seige of influenza was later
diagnosed as “Monday morning
colds” early in the week by Dr.
Charles R. Lyons, director of Stu
dent Health Service.
Lyons reported 150 cases of
flu-type cases early Monday, but
by Tuesday afternoon none of the
eases had turned out to be in
fluenza.
Thirty-five of the 150 patients
were hospitalized, but only two
registered abnormal temperatures
24 hours later. In the wake
of the siare, Lyons reminded stu
dents that flu vaccine is still a-
vailable for $1 per student.
Senate Seeks New
Fees For Parking
The Student Senate has ap
proved a proposal calling for
pro-rated parking permits. The
proposal, presented originally by
the student life committee, is
now being studied by the college
Executive Committee.
Parking fees are now set at $3
per semester. The new system
would initiate lower fees when a
car is registered during, and not

Graduation Invitation
Deadline Extended
The deadline for ordering grad
uation invitations has been ex
tended until next Friday because
of poor response during initial
sales in February.
Only 420 orders had been plac-
ed by noon Wednesday, only one
day before the initial deadline
expired. There are usually a-
round 600 orders each year.

Where Do We Go From Here?
When GI Joe came back from
the war in 1945, he found a
curious state of depression in the
United States. The war years
had provided excitement, jobs and
money unrealized in the depres
sion-ridden 1930’s. What was a-
head for Joe, his wife and small
children ?
He probably could not have
forseen that in a few short years
America would boom ahead in
science, transportation, medicine
and commerce at a pace un
thought of outside science-fic
tion stories. Within fifteen years
jet planes would be crossing the
continent and the Atlantic in less
than six hours. Salk vaccine
would be conquering the horrors
of polio, while tranquilizers, anti
biotics and miracle drugs would
be available to all. A gadget
called television in the popular
science magazines would be claim

All these things we accept
today in 1963 as commonplace
and ordinary. Ask the average
man today what the next fifteen
years will bring, how we will be
living in 1978, and you may get
a variety of reactions.
Some will tend to conservatism
and say that we have gone about
Sound Off
Editor,
The Battalion:
I don’t know when I have heard
of anything so asinine as when
I read in the Houston Post of
nate at Texas University.
I have predicted for several
years that what happened in
Austin would happen and before
it was all over someone would
Feb. 21 that some Texas Univer
sity student had written an edi
torial in The Daily Texan to
the effect that A&M be abolished
because of an aftermath at a
basketball game.
Just because Texas University
students can’t be good sports and
be a good winner as well as a
good loser is no reason for such
a statement. I don’t exactly know
what started the riot but from
what I read in the paper I have
a pretty good idea it all stemmed
from the phrase “Poor Aggies,”
which I will concede did not origi-
be hurt. Unless things have
changed in the last few years,
everyone who visits A&M is treat
ed as a guest and I wish I could
say the same about all the other
schools.
While I am prejudiced as far
as A&M is concerned, I have
never even thought of such a
thing as abolishing Texas Uni
versity. After all we have to
have some place to send the “tea-
sippers” and we sure don’t want
them at Aggieland.

as far as we can go. Others may
soar into a world of fantasy,
envisioning a world that would
make Buck Rogers’ Twenty-fifth
Century look like the days of
King Arthur.
The latter group would be
nearer the truth. As population
booms, everything else will bound
forward. It will be a busy na
tion with a tremendous working
force. Breakthroughs in science,
production, medicine and air trav
el will make our world of 1963
seem a quiet and rather awkward
period of history.
