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. . .

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.
