Just One Reason Why Mr. Gatti’s Makes A

Some come for a particular de
gree, others because family mem
bers are Aggies, and still others be
cause they have heard about Texas
A&M’s traditions.
Whatever the reason, about 1,650
students here are from outside
Texas.
Melinda Hebert, a junior marine
biology major from Omaha, said her
parents had lived in Texas and her
father had always wanted her to be
an Aggie. She also said that her

major had a lot to do with her choice
of Texas A&M.
“My dad went to school here and
1 decided to come here, too,’ said
Marj Banaugh, a junior animal sci
ence major from Missoula, Mont.
“The first time I ever saw the school
was when I got here for classes.
Almost every state in the United
States is represented here, said a
spokesman for the Texas A&M reg
istrar’s office. Tuition is $40 per
academic hour for non-residents.
“I’m here because my uncle was
an old Ag, said Pat Young, a
freshman accounting major from
Pleasanton, Calif. “He said that I
should check the school out, so I
came to visit some relatives in Texas
and stopped by College Station. I
was really impressed with the cam
pus.
She added that Texas A&M in not
much more expensive than the
school she would have gone to in
California, and housing costs are
considerably lower here.
Tom Patterson, a junior agricul
tural economics major from New
Mexico, became interested in at
tending Texas A&M through a pro
fessor and a former Texas A&M stu
dent.
T was interested in ag law and I
read a book written by Dr. Levi,
who at the time was a professor
here, Patterson said. “I wrote him
a letter and he wrote back encourag
ing me to enroll here. 1 also knew a
man in my home town who was an
Ag from the Class of 1941 and every
thing he said about A&M was
good.’’
Students can have out-of-state

Texas A&M University students
using Data Processing Center
facilities can get a helping hand,
from Wylbur.
Wylbur is a multiple-capability
computer access system. Available
to students several months, it’s a
substitute for car punch and card
reading machines. Therefore, stu
dent users do not have to haul
around a batch of computer cards.
Like any other DPC system,
Wylbur requires a department ac
count number for computer access.
Wylbur’s principle featuie is dis
play of material on a cathode ray
tube (CRT), enabling quick on-the-
spot correction of program features.
“This might enable a learner to get a
job through in 10 runs, rather than
20, said Don Young, program
analyst.

ARE YOU
COMING
UP SHORT AT
THE END OF
THE MONTH?
There's one thing that's probably common to all college students.
They have to watch their finances. Here's news about some help you
may be able to get.
Air Force R0TC has four, fhree and two-year scholarships that pro
vide you $100 a month and cover all tuition, books and lab fees. As an
AFR0TC cadet, you'll enter an exciting program of Air Force instruction
that prepares you for one of the most gratifying management jobs
available today.
Then, as a commissioned officer in the Air Force, you'll find respon
sibility and challenge from your very first assignment... you'll find that
people respect you for what you do best.
Consider the Air Force as one of your goals, and consider the
AFR0TC program as a road to that goat. If you need financial help to
free your mind for your studies, find out about AFROTC scholorships to-
day.
