Annex Student Residents
Find Long Drive Consuming
By BEN MATULA
Special Writer
Two - thousand - eight - hundred
miles is farther from here than
any point within the Continental
United States, yet students at the
Texas A&M Research and De
velopment Annex travel this num
ber of man-miles each day in order
to get to classes.
Students indicate that while they
enjoy Annex living they didn’t like
the long 26 mile a day drive be
cause it was too costly and took

Agricultural Economics Club
Addressed By Dr. Tyrus Timm
Dr. Tyrus R. Timm, head of the
Department of Agricultural Econo
mics and Rural Sociology, spoke
to the first bi-weekly meeting of
the Agricultural Economics Club
Tuesday night, on the type of
student the department was at
tempting to produce.
The aim of the Agriculture
economics curriculum is to produce
men able to project today’s know
ledge to solve future problems,
Timm said. To accomplish this,
the curriculum is designed to
strengthen the student in the fields
of English, economics, government,
plant and animal science, physics
and business administration.
Timm also discussed the recent
four-week tour of the European
Common Market nations with the
group, and explained the need of
more qualified financiers in the
operation.

1st Contest Sept. 26 to Oct. 5,
up too much of their time. The
University, in order to defray some
of the expenses will return $36 of
the students’ $90 semester room
fee. This will only help pay part
of the costs, therefore, many stu
dents are optimistic about the pos
sibility of a bus provided by the
school for student transportation.
As it stands now, a car pool is
the most economical method of
travel to and from the campus.
MANY STUDENTS said that
the car pool was all right, but that
if they had any off periods, they
had to be spent on the campus,
which in many cases was a waste
of valuable time.
What drives these students to
such an undertaking are the facili
ties at the former site of the Bryan
Air Force Base.
Two buildings that once housed
Air Force Officers have been been
converted to dormitories and as
compared to campus housing they
are cooler, more relaxing and have
a better study atmosphere. This
housing is probably the most at
tractive feature of the Annex.
THE ROOMS are much larger
than any on the campus so that
two stLidents can comfortably live
in each room and still not be
crowded. Because of the added
space, beds can be left single in
stead of bunked two or three high
as so often done in the dormitories
on the campus.
Since there are only 125 students
at the Annex, many may live alone
if they so desire. Plenty of the
rooms are still vacant and may be
used by one or two persons de
pending on the students’ desires.
Another attraction of the dormi
tories is the ventilating system
that pulls fresh air through the
rooms during the warmer months.
Large suction fans atop the build
ings help reduce the room tempera
ture as much as 15 degrees.
BETTER LIGHTING is another
feature that students are happy
about. Each room is equipped with
four fluorescent lamps that are
mounted on the ceiling and increase
the light value so much that many
students don’t use desk lamps.
Food at the Annex Cafeteria is
probably the best in A&M history.
Although the meals, other than
breakfast, are prepared in the
Sbisa Dining Hall, it is the first to
be cooked.
Hot foods are picked up and
transported in electrically heated
containers that keep the contents
simmering until arrival at the
cafeteria.
STUDENTS WHO want seconds
usually get the extra food they
want. Edwin Matjka, head of the
cafeteria, said he tries to keep the
students satisfied and he hasn’t
had a complaint about the meals.
The study atmosphere at the
annex is better since everyone
takes his education more seriously.
Most juniors and seniors seem to
know what they want and are out
to accomplish this goal.
Even with the hardship of travel
ing 26 miles a day, and being away
from the campus conveniences,
such as the library, these students
are content with their different
way of university life.
Nathan Pippin, a senior from
Corpus Christi, has one way of
looking at the situation when he
said, “If we had this on campus
it would be great.”
Young Democrats
Plan First Meet
Wednesday Night
The A&M Young Democrats Club
will hold an organizational meeting
Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. in Room
2-B of the Memorial Student Cen
ter.
The local group will be associated
with the National Democrats of
America and the national Demo
cratic Party.
Randall Bland of Galveston, one
of the groups organizers, said “We
are not extremely liberal, but by
no means are we conservative.”
“Any persons interested in work
ing in the cause of progression
instead of regression is invited to
this meeting.”
Bland stressed that independents
as well as Democrats may attend
the club’s meetings.
Sponsor for the group is C. A.
Bitner, Department of Economics,
Associate faculty advisors are P.
A. Ford, Department of History
and Government; Dr. W. E. Ben
ton, Department of History and
Government; W. B. Kadow, De
partment of English, and R. L.
Harris, Department of History and
