This fall 33,499 students came to Aggieland. Last month the struggle for a degree started once again, but not all students will stick to their goal of getting educated. Many students give up and withdraw from Texas A&M, while others just leave and never come back. “Freshmen are commonly stricken by home sickness,” said Dr. Carlton D. Stolle, assistant dean of business administration. “Withdrawals come in flurries around mid-semester and just before finals,” said Stolle, who is in charge of student affairs in his college. Last fall semester 767 Aggies decided to “call it quits.” During the spring semester 581 students decided Aggieland was not for them. Overall Texas A&M’s withdrawal rate is 2.4 percent for last fall and 1.9 percent for last spring. This is one of the lowest rates in the Southwest Conference. Between the fall semesters of 1978 and 1979, the total number of withdrawals increased by 14 percent at Texas A&M, while the spring semester withdrawals only increased by two percent, according to the Office of Student Affairs. Enrollment in fall of 1978 came up to 30,255 students and increased by three percent in the fall of 1979 to 31,331 students. Enrollment in the spring of 1980 was 29,409, an increase of 3.2 percent from the spring of 1979, which had a total enrollment of 28,459 students. Undergraduates made up the majority of with drawals last spring, a total of 457. Sophomores showed the most withdrawals (138), followed by juniors (126), freshmen (119) and seniors (74). Graduate students made up 121 of the withdraw als and 21 had no classification. The University of Texas showed a 2.4 percent withdrawal rate for fall 1979 (846 of 34,617 stu dents) and 4.1 percent for spring 1980 (1,370 of 32,831 students). Texas Tech University had two percent with drawals in their spring semester (467 of 2,856 students). Rice University had 3.7. percent (91 of 2,442 students) in the fall. The spring semester withdrawals were not available. Baylor University had one percent (87 of 8,551 students) withdrawals last fall, 1.6 percent (130 of 651 students) in spring. Data for other Southwest Conference Universi ties were not available. There are many reasons for leaving the univer sity, Glenna Witt, assistant director of student affairs, said. Students who wish to withdraw do not have to give a specific reason for their with drawal if they don’t want to, Witt said. ‘Personal’ is one of the most common reasons checked off by students. During the spring semester 264 students (from a total of 581) cited personal reasons for their withdrawal. ‘Not motivated to study’ was a reason for 63 students to leave Texas A&M. Another common reason was illness or death in the family, according to the report. Marriage, divorce, taking care of children, homesickness or other family problems were listed under personal problems. “A student who has personal problems might make a ‘strategic withdrawal’ to protect his grades,” Stolle said. Of the remaining 317 spring semester wi| drawals throughout the University, 91 were® to medical problems, 72 due to financial diffic ties, 24 academic, 68 employment conflictf transfers, 9 changing majors, 4 deceased and ; for other reasons. ‘Other’ reasons were sudr registered in an unrequired course, a canaMn . class or similar problems. k^A “Most students have already made up h eav mind about withdrawing,” said Arthur L ToEjIp^j^ son, director of the academic counselingceqlaLi - Problem students don’t come in to thecoumt Y 0 jlj center, although they arc encouraged to doi n Tollefson said. /ictory” ' The number of (official) withdrawals froimer.

Un Bi Family takes pride in pork sa usages FORT ace pres lush cite< ind the ri :lare: “Jir United Press International OAKLAND, Ill. — From hog lot to sausage casing, the Grotelueschen family has a unique way of processing and marketing pork. Every week, family members buy between three and five 230-pound butcher hogs from a farmer. Then they load the animals into a trailer and drive them to an Amish butcher shop for slaughtering. A day later, they pick up the meat and transport it to their little sausage factory here.

Mrs. Grotelueschen, who is hop ing for an electric mixer to simplify the process, mixes the sausage in 25- pound batches. The true secret for making the sausage, she said, is in the seasoning and in its freshness. After it is mixed, she puts the meat into a “stuffier’’ where it is compress ed into its casing. The sausage, pro cessed with no preservatives, is sold either the same day or the day after it is made. “It’s much fresher than anything else you can buy,” she said. The hogs are raised in confine ment. Mrs. Grotelueschen said the quality of the hog is important for the quality of the sausage. All of the pig’s meat is used in the Grotelueschen s sausage. “Normally sausage is made from the scraps of the animal, and the ham and the tenderloin are sold sepa rate,” she said. “We use the whole hog.” The Grotelueschens, selling under the name “Festival Sausage American Co., market their product sew Bush, a ways. t,000 at 1 They take orders from insMonday, tions, pizza chains, churches, feiutspoker raising organizations and i:or Eddie viduals.
