School-Age
Marriages
On Increase
School-age marriages may not
be wise, yet after one becomes a
fact, adults working with the
couple have a responsibility to help
them succeed. Indications are that
they will continue to increase in
numbers.
So says Patsy Reynolds, E -
tension specialist in family life
education at A&M University.
Marriage is always a time of
adjustment, she explains, regrad
less of the age of the couple. “Add
to the normal problems of this
period the disapproval and often
bitter incriminations of parents
and the load becomes almost im
possible for the young cople to
carry.”
According to a study made by
Dr. B. J. Fallon, Executive Secre
tary of the West Texas School
riages have a divorce rate two to
four times greater than for those
who marry at the age 20 or older.
Fallon directed the survey in 238
Texas schools in 1962.
Conclusions of the research in
dicate that schools should educate
for a “balanced social perspective”
if these school-age marriages are
to be reduced or those which occur
are to succeed, the specialist says.
The parent and community can
give the young couple practical
education for dealing with prob
lems such as budgets, house clean
ing' and care and use of household
equipment, and preparation for
earning a livelihood.
In the event of a school-age
marriage, the students should be
encouraged to complete their edu
cation if at all possible. Human
potential is rarely maximized with
out the benefit of formal education.
Less than full realization of human
potential constitutes a loss for the
invdiidual, the community, and so
ciety at large, the study concludes.
A&M Appeal
Reaches Out
On Freeway
“Hey, didn’t I meet you on the
Santa Ana Freeway in Los Ange
les?” the young man asked the
A&M University Exchange Store
employe.
“Yes,” replied Mrs. Gladys
Brinkman. She and the young man,
Tom Scott, spoke briefly while
their cars were halted side-by-side
on the freeway.
Scott was on the A&M campus
this week and plans to start classes
in September. The Whittier, Calif.,
youth will study marketing.
Mrs. Brinkman told Scott she
worked at the Exchange Store and
then the traffic speeded up.
Scott said here that two uncles
were Aggies and ever since he was
a boy he had wanted to attend
A&M.
ARE ALL
GREAT CHEFS
TEMPERAMENTAL?
We can’t realtf A fay if they’re
all temperamental... but we
know about the chef at
Ramada Inn! His disposition
is so miserable ... his voice
so loud and abusive — if his
food wasn’t so spectacular
he'd be out of work tomorrow!
Temperamental isn’t the word
for him. But the way he pre
pares a steak! Easily angered?
Salads like you’ve dreamed
of! Mean and sassy? Well, we
didn't hire him because he
was a nice guy.

Politics Stop Roads
The road building industry’s
greatest obstacles are “people and
politics,” not a lack of technical
knowledge, a U. S. Bureau of
Public Roads official declared here
June 25.
Francis C. Turner, the bureau’s
assistant administrator, urged col
lege teachers attending a highway
institute at A&M University to
“talk more about human relations”
in the classroom.
Reporting on the national high
way picture, Turner termed the
current $75-billion interstate high
way programs progress as “good.”
He especially praised progress
made by the Texas Highway De
partment.
“Our problems would be minor
if all state has Texas’ standards,”
Turner commented.
Turner said a detailed study has
been launched to determine future
highway needs. The present 41,-
000-mile superhighway program
will be completed in 1972.
“This study is supposed to tell
us whether the automobile is here
to stay,” the A&M graduate added,
“or if we will use some sort of Buck
Rodgers vehicle.”
Results will be submitted to Con
gress in 1968 to determine national
highway goals.
Questioned on the future pro
jects, Turner said he believed more
a attention will be directed to
urban transportation.
Engene Maier of Houston, vice
president of the Jamaica Corp.,
told the audience of 100 persons
that “greater cooperation is needed
between the traffic engineer and
representatives from all govern
mental levels.”
