Why Play Games Here?

Sen. William T. Moore of Bryan has launched a new
crusade in recent days, the problem of scheduling- Aggie foot
ball games. Moore has decided that the scheduling of only
three football games at Kyle Field last year represented “a
dangerous trend.” He plans to introduce a resolution in the
Senate asking the governing board and the athletic council
to schedule five of the ten season games here.
Moore said he thought money made out of football was
out of proportion. “If there is any justification for football, ;
it’s for the enjoyment of alumni and students,” he said.
A&M football is the only sport in our program that pays ffsr-t^rtr "'^
for itself. During a year when the A&M-Texas game is played ^ W&jUt&jSlp
here, attendance at Kyle Field will average between 24,000 ;; ^
and 28,000. In comparison to this, A&M is guaranteed $40,000 : f -
every time it plays LSU at Baton Rouge.
Moore took a shot at Houston exes by blaming them for R
the long-run scheduling of the A&M-Rice game in Houston.
There is no doubt that the scheduling of the game in Houston V .
makes it more convenient to exes, but it is hard to see that 1
they represent a mere “few” (as Moore states) judging from • •- j
the average crowd attending the game in Houston.
In addition, Moore might find that both students and “
exes enjoy “making a weekend of it” away from the campus.
The answer appears to be clear, if there ever was a
question.

Want ‘Care’ In Colleges
(By The Collegiate Press)
CHICAGO — In a strong in
dictment of college responsibility,
Dr. Glen T. Nygreen, dean of stu
dents at Kent State University,
said last week that too often “it
appears that students come to
college to be cared for rather than
to gain an education.”
Speaking before a deans’ work
shop at the annual meeting of the
North Central Association here,
Nygreen accused colleges of “the
service station-approach to stu
dent services.”
“ . . . There must be a con
nection between this and the
resignations from the Corps
this week!”
Parking Permit
Decision Seems
Well Warranted
Future Dates
The executive committee deci
sion to kill a proposal for pro
rated parking permits may* sound
unnecessary to many students, but
statistics and comparative studies
seem to indicate that the decision
was well waranted.
First of all, pro-rated permits
would cause a loss of more than
$400 per year in funds that are
used to maintain parking facili
ties. y
Secondly, the $3 per semester
fee presently charged is very in
expensive compared to many col
leges’. For instance, Dartmouth
charges $30 per year, New York
University $40 and Maryland $52.
Third, and most important, our
parking and student car sytem
appears to be one of the most
efficient in the Southwest. More
than enough room is available in
the two day student lots, while
dormitory parking areas all have
empty spaces.
Sure the less expensive, pro
rated system would have been
nice, but we’re* already pretty
well off and should have no com
plaints.

HOW TO GET EDUCATED
ALTHOUGH ATTENDING COLLEGE
In your quest for a college degree, are you becoming a narrow
specialist, or'are you being educated in the broad, classical
sense of the word?
This question is being asked today by many serious observers
—including my barber, my roofer, and my little dog Spot-
and it would be well to seek an answer.
Are we becoming experts only in the confined area of our
majors, or does our knowledge range far and wide? Do we, for
example, know who fought in the Battle of Jenkins’ Ear, or
Kant’s epistemology, or Planck’s constant, or Valsalva’s maneu-
\ ver, or what Wordsworth was doing ten miles above Tintern
Abbey?
If we do not, we are turning, alas, into specialists. How
then can we broaden our vistas, lengthen our horizons-be-
come, in short, educated?
Well sir, the first thing we must do is throw away our curri
cula. Tomorrow, instead of going to the same old classes, let
us try something new. jLet us not think of college as a rigid
discipline, but as a kind of vast academic smorgasbord, with
all kinds of tempting intellectual tidbits to savor. Let’s start
eampling tomorrow.

We will begin the day with a stimulating seminar in Hittite
artifacts. Then we will go over to marine biology and spend a
happy hour with the sea slugs. Then we will open our pores by
drilling a spell with the ROTC. Then we’ll go over to journalism
and tear out the front page. Then we’ll go to the medical school
and autograph some casts. Then we’ll go to home economics
and have lunch.
And between classes we’ll smoke Marlboro Cigarettes. This,
let me emphasize, is not an added fillip to the broadening of
our education. This is an essential. To leam to live fully and
well is an important part of education, and Marlboros are an
important part of living fully and well. What a sense of com
pleteness you will get from Marlboro’s fine tobaccos, from
Marlboro’s pure filter! What flavor Marlboro delivers! Through
that immaculate filter comes flavor in full measure, flavor with
out stint or compromise, flavor that wrinkled care derides,
flavor holding both its sides. This triumph of the tobacconist’s
art comes to you in soft pack or Flip-Top box and can be lighted
with match, lighter, candle, Welsbach mantle, or by rubbing
two small Indians together.
When we have embarked on this hew regimen—or, more
accurately, lack of regimen—we will soon be cultured as all
get out. When strangers accost us on the street and say, “What
was Wordsworth doing ten miles above Tintern Abbey, hey?’’
we will no longer slink away in silent abashment. We will reply
loud and cleaf :
“As any truly educated person knows, Wordsworth, Shelley,
and Keats used to go to the Widdicombe Fair every year for
the poetry-writing contests and three-legged races, both of
which they enjoyed lyrically. Well sir, imagine their chagrin
when they arrived at the Fair in 1776 and learned that Oliver
Cromwell, uneasy because Guy Fawkes had just invented the
spinning jenny, had cancelled all public gatherings, including
, the Widdicombe Fair and Liverpool. Shelley was so upset
that he drowned himself in a butt of malmsey. Keats went to
London and became Charlotte Bronte. Wordsworth ran blindly
into the forest until He collapsed in a heap ten miles above
Tintern Abbey. There, he lay for several years, sobbing and
kicking his little fat legs. At length, peace returned to him. He
looked around, noted the beauty of the forest, and was so moved
that he wrote Joyce Kilmer’s immortal Trees... And that,
smart-apple, is what Wordsworth was doing ten miles above
Tintern Abbey.’!
