Possible Coeds
Answer Survey
A survey of Central Texas
girls released Saturday indicated
at least 829 area girls might en
roll in Texas A&M University if
co-eds were admitted without re
striction.
The study, conducted for
A&M’s Board of Directors, was
made from 12,359 questionnaires
mailed and distributed in a 25-
mile radius of the campus. Of
the prospective co-eds, 653 live
in Brazos County and the re
mainder in adjoining counties.
A direct mailing was made to
parents of 1,559 girls who were
graduate from area high
schools in 1963, 1964 and 1965 or
who would graduate in 1966. A
total of 364 cards - 23.3 per cent
of the eligible co-ed high school
graduates—noted interest in at
tending A&M.
A total of 10,800 forms were
distributed to parents of elemen
tary and junior high school girls
by area public schools. Some 465
were returned with affirmative
response. Since the number of
“elegible” elementary and junior
high girls In the area was not
determined, no percentage of re-
ponse was reported.
The “saturatxon ,, study was
designed to measure only the
number of prospective area co
eds for A&M. It did not record
negative responses nor argu
ments for or against admission
of girls to the institutions.
A&M currently admitted girls
to its regular sessions on a day
student basis in 1963. Under
graduate female enrollment is
limited to wives and daughters of
faculty, staff and students.
