Reynolds 9 Rap
by Mike Reynolds
The Space Fiesta ’65 has crated
up its exhibits, hauled off its
1/5 scale models and put the
Memorial Student Center back
the way it was before the people
from NASA landed.
The program, sponsored by the
Great Issues Committee of the
MSC, inspired such learned com
ments as, “Eh, so what?” “Ah, I
saw that last year,” and “They
must be trying to get this over
to a bunch of kids.”
The models that spun, gyrated
and hopped about seemed a lot
like the ones of last year and the
year before that — even though
they were billed as all new.
The mock-ups of highly techni
cal equipment appeared to have
been put together by a five year-
old with a 10 ton supply of balsa
wood.
Granted, this exhibit appealed
to people of College Station and
Bryan and was a boon to any ele
mentary school teacher, but since
when was the budget of the MSC
committees allocated for the peo
ple of College Station and Bryan ?
Granted, the program brings
some details of the US’s efforts
in space to the campus, but does
A&M need it year after year
after year?
Presently, there are two major
spacecraft projects underway;
Gemini and Appollo. The basic
ideas of these crafts and their
missions have been adequately
disseminated among students dur
ing past years. Why bring back
Tech Law School Suffers Blow
As House Committee Denies Aid
AUSTIN (A*) — The House Ap
propriations Committee put a lid
on creation of new law schools
with a provision in the 1966-67
appropriations bill voted to the
floor Monday.
The bill stipulates that no fac
ulty salary appropriations for
1966-67 can be spent for law
faculty salaries in schools or
colleges of law not in existence by
Feb. 1. 1965.
Texas Tech has won approval
of the Commission on Higher
Education to establish a law
^school by 1967. Neither the
House committee nor the Legis
lative Budget Board gave Tech
money to finance preliminary ex
penses for the law school. The
budget board’s recommendations
formed the foundation for the
appropriations bill.
The House committee retain
ed a $150,000 appropriation to
Tech to study creation of dent
istry and medical schools, and
added $50,000 for a continuation
of the state parks study and re
search in Texas history.

exhibits that continue to give
only the basic ideas.
Detailed exhibits are needed to
quinch the already informed mind
of the average college student.
The bright star of displays con
cerned the life-support pack to be
worn by astronauts outside of
spacecraft. Yet even this exhibit
centered around a rough model
constructed from a single block
of wood with safety belts attach
ed.
The crowning insult to any
one’s intelligence was on the sec
ond floor. It consisted of a 12
foot tall cylinder with a viewing
plate in the side. The immensity
of the ‘white elephant” suggest
ed that a detailed movie might
be visible inside.
What greeted the inquisitive
person’s eyes ? An alternating
scene depicting man on the moon
and Columbus on the deck of
his ship while a tape mumbled in
the background about why we are
going to the moon.
Plans were discussed last year
about the possibility of bringing
the program back every two or
three years because even the stu
dents in charge were beginning to
see the repetition.
These plans should have been
put into action.
Why the student body of A&M
should be made to suffer with
this second rate catch-all clutter
ing their “living room” every year
is hard to tell.

Editor,
The Battalion:
Seeing no response to my first
letter, I again would like to ask
— why isn’t our sytem of regis
tering for classes designed to per
mit the student to know who is
teaching a particular course and
allow him to choose the course
with the professor he desires?
Certainly this would be in ac
cordance with academic excell
ence.

Editor,
The Battalion:
Last Tuesday night’s basketball
game with Texas Tech was a
classic example of the fighting
Texas Aggie Spirit exhibited by
our great team as well as those
present to witness the contest.
But why weren’t more Aggies
out supporting the team? Why
were the entrances to the coli
seum clogged soon after the Ag
gies made their tremendous come
back in the second half? These
Aggies must have been listen
ing to the game or they wouldn’t
have known to come and sup
port the team when the game
turned in the Aggie direction.
Can they say that they were
studying and listening to the
game at the same time ? I don’t
think so. The main reason for
this is lack of willingness and
spirit. In fact, I heard several
Aggies say they weren’t coming
to the game because of the loss
to Texas which lowered our
chances of winning the confer
ence. And then some talk about
the great stamina and “never-
give-up” attitude of Aggies.
So Aggies, for spirit’s sake
support our basketball team all
the way even if our chances for
winning the conference are low.
We shall not give up!
