Campus comments (Continued from page 2) uirt the quality in the short run. In the long run we have a fine dministration that can plan. We just got a letter from Dr. Williams allowing more posi- ons in the College of Business and the allotments are generous. im Schell, graduate student, electrical engineering I was here in ’72. I graduated and came back. I like the new ructures, the way they modernized. It’s helped. I’m not too hap- r about the Building Use Fee Increase but you have to pay for e buildings . . . )ebra Dale, student worker, library reserve room Last semester was the first Fall semester at A&M for me and what impressed me most was the friendliness of the students and I hope it continues next semester. Evelyn Aldred, library staff The wall that they’re building is an absolute waste of money. The building use fee is exorbitant. Not that I’m against the fur nishings of the MSC but I think that with the economic de velopment they could hold off. I miss the Corps students’ howdy. Mary Smith, library staff I’d like to see more study places in the library. Hugh J. McCann, assistant professor, philosophy I’d like to see people just more confidant in A&M, in its programs, students and teams. And we shouldn’t be so con cerned with how we stack up against other people — especially the University of Texas. We should be better in the arts — liberal and fine. As long as the school sees itself as just a technological and agricultural school it can’t be a complete university . . . The main objective of Texas A&M is to help people become better men and better women. The main job is not to make better engineers and better farmers. We need to give people a firm foundation in their his tory, their culture and their values, above all their values. Oh, and it really gripes me to be at a game against Baylor and hear people singing about the University of Texas. I don’t want to hear about the University of Texas. Losers do that. Ginger Stevens, secretary, student services One thing they can get rid of is the building use fee. Sharon Presswood, secretary for vice president of student services I love the way student services division is going. I think I can feel the changes more than anyone. He has simplified it. . .

Closed Veterans planning to attend A&M in the spring semester should contact the campus veterans rep resentative office to make sure they are certified. Most veterans who attended A&M during the fall term of 1974 are already certified to receive be nefits under the newly expanded GI Bill, hut they should also check with the campus office, notes vet rep Henry Vander Cruyssen. Veterans not currently enrolled, but planning to carry course loads when classes begin Jan. 20 need to be certified now, he explains. A three or four week clearing time is necessary, says Vander Cruyssen, so if veterans certify as soon as possible they should expect to receive checks within a week or so after classes resume. The vet rep office is located in Hart Hall, section “B on campus and veterans may contact either that office or may call the VA regional office in Waco. The call to the Waco office is now available on a local basis by dialing 822-7352. The campus telephone number for the vet rep office is 845-1638.
