"On the Side of Texas A&M University'
The economic impact of Texas
A&M on the Bryan-College Sta
tion Community now exceeds $57
million, a recent university survey
reveals.
Figures released by the Uni
versity Fiscal Office reflect a
$34 million payroll for 4,941 uni
versity system employees living
in the Bryan-College Station
area.
With more than 100 new faculty
members and an additional 1,353
students over the 1966-67 fall
term, the increase is the equiva
lent of a giant industry moving
into the community, officials
pointed out.
Projections indicated university
system employees in the area
have more than 8,000 dependents,
providing a combined total of
more than 13,000 persons directly
associated with the university.
These statistics do not include
the student enrollment of 12,029,
a new university record.
Fiscal authorities estimated
that the students themselves con
tribute more than $18 million
