Listen up Aggie finds rating high Editor: For my “Swan Song” letter to your journal, as I am leaving for Galveston Community College shortly, I would like to recount an anecdote that happened to me recently and that reflects favor ably on the university. I was on my way back to Bryan after interviewing Galveston Community College for a position in the English Department—I got the job. But, being very tired, I stopped at the Ramada Inn in Clear Lake City, near NASA headquarters. The night clerk, an older gentleman, would not honor my Phillip’s 66 credit card. I told him that I only had one dollar in greenbacks and asked if he would accept a personal check. He began by telling me all the trouble they have had in the past with personal checks, but finally asked me where I worked. I told him I was a graduate teaching as sistant at Texas A&M University. He said, “Son, I’ll take your well, there is one beverage-tasting area at which we must be the best in the state—BEER. Many of us are truly intimate with the delicate flavors of this lovely liquid. What lowly fresh man cannot tell (early in the eve ning, at least) a glass of Pearl from one of Schlitz ?

EDITOR DAVID S. MIDDLEBROOKE THE BATTALION Press worker ends 50-year career Pressman Joe Hudson retired last Wednesday, ending 50 years of work as a printer. “I’ve always loved printing,” he said, “and I’ve never wanted to do anything else.” He also ended his 24th year with the A&M Press. Fellow employes held a surprise party for him, with Press Superin tendent Frank Tucker and Infor mation and Publications Director Jim Lindsey among those attend ing. Hudson began his career at the age of 13, when family difficul ties brought on by the death of publication of the Association of Former Students. The magazine was being printed at Wallace while he was there, and when he began working for the A&M Press they already were handling the magazine. “Things sure have changed since I started in the printing business,” he reminisced. “I re member in the winter we used to have to light candles to heat press rollers. Air conditioning has done away with all that. “In the old days, we worked up to 12 hours a day, s i x days a week without any thought of a vacation,” he added. “Now we work 40 hours a week, take cof fee breaks and have vacations every year.” Like any loyal craftsman, Hud son believes running a flatbed letterpress is more of an art than operating the offset press es, but he’s quick to point out an offset printer wouldn’t agree. He says a letterpress is more difficult because the printer may have to adjust the flat bed of type with each new printing job. For example, the blocks of wood on which copper or zinc plates for photographic impressions are attached may be either too high or low for good reproduction When this happens, the printer must either sand down or builj up the blocks until the height is right. During his time with the A&ll Press Hudson was a highly (j e . ir pendable employe, Tucker “When Joe didn’t show up fo t work,” the superintendent said, “you knew something was radi. cally wrong.” his father forced him to go to work. District Judge W. C. Davis signed papers allowing him to work full time even though he was under age. He began work with Wallace Printing Co. as a printer’s devil, or apprentice. His employment also began his “education,” with spelling lessons conducted at the type-setting case, and grammar lessons held whenever he had time to read what was being printed at the shop. He also learned how to do ev erything in a print shop — set type, melt lead, operate the presses, cut paper, clean the Southern CS receives city postal service Mail delivery to College Station citizens in the southern portion of the city began receiving service from the College Station Post Office Saturday, Mayor D. A. “Andy” Anderson has announced. The effect, he said, will be fast er mail delivery. Previously, delivery of mail was on Rural Routes 3 or 4 from the Bryan Post Office. Citizens in the affected area will now have a street number. Those who have a question as to their address can contact the City Hall, Anderson said. Mail delivery will, however, be mounted curbside, the mayor con tinued; therefore, mail boxes must be placed on posts beside the street. All citizens are urged to place their name, and street and number, on their boxes to aid in mail delivery. Streets affected by the change are Richards, Sterling, Krenek Tap Road, Miller Lane and Milt Drive. All homes not directly oi these streets will have mail delit- ered to boxes on Texas Avenue, Other streets are Lonnie Lai*, Southland (800 through 1200 ® Wellborn Road) and the Wes: Loop. “I am pleased with the effects changes made by the U. S. Postal Service, Anderson said. It is i service we have been workii* toward for about two years."

Hudson, as a press feeder, had to stand by the machine and feed one sheet of paper at a time into po sition, then withdraw it after impression. The job called for skill, speed and accuracy. He had plenty of practice. Hudson entered the Army in 1942, vowing he didn’t want to see a print shop again. After basic, though, he was more than happy to be assigned to the Army Field Printing Plant at Ft. Ben- ning, Ga. After two and a half years in the service, he returned to Bryan and Wallace Printing for two years before going to the A&M Press.
