Potts Talks Sense
To Troubled Ags
With a friend in every county
in Texas, Dr. Richard C. Potts
finds it easier to talk with home
sick youths making their first
bid for an education at A&M.
“I see a lot of boys homesick
and wanting to quit,” said Potts,
associate dean of the College of
Agriculture.
"But because of the long time
I’ve been here, I know somebody
in every county. By talking about
someone in a boy’s own area, I
get him talking and find out more
about his problems,” he added.
POTTS, WHO joined A&M in
1936 as an agronomist, finds no
student is too big to “spank” and
often does, academically speak
ing. As a result he is loved and
respected.
His interest in students earned
him the Faculty Distinguished
Achievement Award for student
relations in 1964. Three years
later he received the Distin
guished Service Awards from the
State Association of Young Farm
ers of Texas for outstanding serv
ice to Texas youth.
POTTS IS directly concerned
with faculty-student relations and
thinks they are at an all-time
high in the college. He attributes
the sound footing to faculty mem
bers interested in their students.

Back of it all, perhaps, is the
unique philosophy of Potts who
maintains an open door policy
toward students.
“By the time a young man gets
to A&M he isn’t a failure,” em
phasized Potts. “I never see a
failure.”
Admitting some students do
leave school, he observed that
“this is a relative sort of thing.”
“In my own philosophy of work
ing with young people I ask my
self a question, ‘Suppose this boy
was my own son—how would I
want him treated?’,” Potts said.
ALTHOUGH POTTS directs all
faculty - student programs, he
places the success of the program
on his faculty advisors “who
handle their own programs.”
“I don’t tell them how to do
it. They’re mature men,” he said.
“I’ve always got faculty mem
bers on a waiting list to serve as
freshmen advisors,” he noted.
“They do it because they want to.
This is the key.”
Potts also divides students
among faculty members on a
“common interest” basis.
“For example, a student in
terested in animal science is as
signed to an animal science pro
fessor. We get both together,” he
said.
Professors share their office
and home telephone numbers with
students’ parents through letters,
creating closer bonds between the
university, students and families,
he stressed, adding, “Again, they
do it on their own.”

Mobil Living
Students Bring I lome
By MIKE WRIGHT
While most Aggie residents
give up the comforts of home in
a dormitory room, some day stu
dents bring their homes to school
with them.
Several mobile trailer parks
surrounding the A&M campus
provide students with not only
a space to park their mobile
homes, but also quick access to
the campus.
Most students either own their
trailer or are purchasing it, via
the monthly payment route. A
few are kept by individuals for

Campus students pay close
$600 a year in room rent, b«
and room deposit fees. In fi
years, a student will have sp
approximately $2,300 for w
and board on campus.
Excellent mobile homes
available for under $1,500. A
dent will use it for four yes
and when he graduates, the st
dent can usually sell it wlif
the trailer sits for close to 6
purchasing price. But, the stuif
has the chance to be repaid p
of the cost for a room while
school.
If the student does not
to cook in the trailer, there s
boarding houses in Bryan wlii
offer “all you can eat met
for a dollar.
Rent for a trailer space s
the Bryan-College Station ar
ranges from $20 to $35. H
trailer park usually supplies i
water.
Peace and quiet is a key
living in a mobile home,
parking space is usually surrom
ed by trailers occupied by ol
students, traveling people,
occupants who just like to S
in mobile homes. And in w
parks, the noise is held to amt
mum.
There is a lack of privacy
a residence hall or dormit*
room. Any minute friends»
unintentionally interrupt stilt
ing and sleeping with noises
visits.
But in the mobile home, ti
chance is cut down considers!
by the fact that the trailer

This fact also, however, nisi
a car essential for travel to *
from school.
If a student is wise, the
money he will be out for
college education will be his ;

Living in a trailer is not*

The low ceilings and shorter 1*

But they can be worked out'

Also at the present time, trsi
spaces are scarce. Students i
renting them in this area as sf 1
as they are built.
The problem of communicst*
with campus news is also hin^

is not spent on campus by a s
