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 ? Here at
last is a tremendous opportunity
for a consistently winning A&M
team.

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

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."

He learned to operate a hand-
fed flatbed letterpress. 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.
