Shhh! Don't tell a Soul."It's our own private
secret. Don't tell anyone that it would be
mighty good idea to read that textbook ajiiS^,
keep up the daily work ... in other words,
"study," " . : y;
We've learned by experience that you just;
can't-catch up on a semester's work in one.
night. We've learned that* "sneak" methods on-
homework don't helo our knowledge on the; fi-.
als. Our experience has taught us that we reap^
what we so\v and that the courses here aren't
"snaps." We've learned through the "school of
hard knocks" that right now we'd better sit;.,
down and study. .
But don't tell anyone! Let's keep it oursecret
and when judgement day rolls around, we can'
look down at those poor suffering souls crani"
rning and say we knew all along because wc
learn our lessons in life.
We are definitely getting ahead of the .sea- ■
son. Spring is still slightly more than two
weeks away, and here we are getting spring
fever already. This warm weather really makes
students have a tendency to slacken up ori?
their studying. What will it be like when spring;
does get here? It is an ideal time for Lady Pro,
castination to go to work on us; insisting that
we wait until the last part of the semester to dp
our major studying.
The question-we will each have to answer
in the next few weeks is very simple. Will we
let the beauty of spring and the sturdy belief
that tomorrow will be a better day ffet the up
per hand and put everything off; or will we
push back the continuous desire to do every-
thin gexcept studying? It's a hard decision to
make and even harder to live up to a positive
decision. _ .
Think about this before you take in the next
movie or "buzz" th.e town. There is enough time
on anyone's time schedule to quit studying long
enough to take in a movie. Let's see if -ive can
find time in our movie and fun schedule.;to do
some studying. Think about it. M. B. ..

Inspection of one month during
this school year was made at
Texas A & M College hospital. The
lightest day they had that month
was 150 patients, with the heavi-
est clay running 228 patients.
A disc jockey at a radio station
in Amarillo, for the past couple of
months has been sponsoring a
"save Presley's sideburns" cam-
paign on his program.
He asks that his listeners com-
plete the phrase "I think Elvis
Presley's sideburns should he sav-
ed (when he's inducted into the
Army) because . . . etc. and send
it into the station.
A veteran on the West Texas
State College campus had this to
say about the campaign:
"Let him keep his sideburns,
but they're sure going to' look
funny on a bald head." — THE

lege
Three groups on the University
of Texas campus m ve against the
bill to raise1 tiution in state col-
leges.
The Inter Co-op Council, the
Student Court, - and the Student
Assembly ' - each declared their
stand 1 against the bill * recently.
Presently {he House Bill No. 265
has passed/ its second reading, in

According to the FOGHORN,
student newspaper of Del Mar
College, related, that a movie' was
to be shown in typing class. The
stars of the picture will be Del
Mar typing students. Moving pic-
tures have been taken during the
typing classes to.show to the stu-
dents their poor or good posture,

TECHNOLOGY NEWS, publi-
cation of Illinois Institute of
Technology, Chicago contained an
editorial on challenging- informa-
tion. The three-letter word WH!Y
is one which seems to be disap-
pearing from the American Stu-
dent's vocabulary. According to
the article, Carl Sandberg stated,
"Much of the history of She world
could he written in a book titled
'Challengers of Axioms.' "
Einstein, Columbus, and Galileo
are just-a" few pf. the'great people
who asked themselves why and
delved further'to investigate.
Are we really so gullible that we
believe everything- a teacher tells
us without question?

Representation of your class can-
not be properly conducted unless
the majority of the group attends.
Why not go to the next one1.
Competition around ' the shack
is still increasing. The recent staff
appointments have given the edi-
tor numerous headaches. Piles of
unused stovys have crealed many
gripes from the staff. Stay with
'em Verna.
Numerous! Tests
, Complaints are thriving on the
TSC campus as a sudden uprising
'in tests invade the luxurious lives
of the students,. A great number
of them wer rumored, to have' up
to three in one morning.
; In the still of last Thursday
morning, approximately -ff a. m., a
Spine-chilling cry ' broke the: still-
ness of, Be'nder, with, "1 wish' l
could be a. prof for just Once!" At
ease profs, ,
Cots?
' The question was asked in last
week's J-TAC, "Anyone have a
cot?" This was in reference to
the overcrowded situation to be
coped with at the FHA Conven-
tion. At the time, nti one on the
staff expected it to be applied
but we understand "the walls were
lined" with them in the Girl's
Gym Friday night. Maybe- the
college1 took a hint.

One Can Tell
Did you know that presidential elections
have been won by one vote? One person's opiiir
ion can change the outcome of an entire elec-
(ion. <
In recent Tai-leton State Colege class pieetf-
ings, the .minority of the classes have been de-
ciding the issues. The minority's opinioii, there-
fore, decides what. the; class will do.;,'
In last week's Senior class meeting, a,.totql
of 12 seniors were present. Those 12 were left
to decide what to do about the activities of the
class. ■ .
Usually, after vot^s have been cast on whet-
her to do a certain thing, the majority who did
not cast a vote or voice their opinion are thje
ones who complain about the results.
In which category do you fall? Are you one
of the loyal few who ;attend an take-part ill
the class activities, or are you in the majority
who gripe about whnt the class does but refusje
to take an active part on committees or worjk
of the class? L. R. S. .. '
Will It Pass? vV'-t
If it should cost you $25 more to go to school ■
next year than it did this year, could yoif con-
tinue your education? That is a question that
many of us will have to answer if- the propose^
bill to increase from $25 to $50 the resident
tuition fee at Texas' state-aupported college
passed, ■ - ■ ■ . . .' r!. ■-
The bill was studied by a House 'State Af-
fairs subcommittee February 5. The .Tejcsfs jCotti-
mission on Higher Education had recommended"
the tuition increase which would brinjf^in an'
exnected additional income' of about $10,000;-
000 for t.he next two years. ;
Fred Schmidt, counsel for the state ('JO, at-
tacked the proposed increases, saying they were
''-n form of taxation." He said it was the intent,
of the "founding fathers" to provide' as "freerajv
ducation as possible. >
President Logan Wilson of the University of
Texas testified for the increase, nayinj^'that it,.,
was "reasonable to ask'students; to'heat'.'their
fair share. If $25*was fair itr 19-33,'"$50,73 fajr
now." ' -- ' "J |
pointing to various, statistics abouf '-Texas
being ranked low In tuition fees, Rep. Bob Mul-
len of Alice said Texas was not 46th in th£ na-
tion with the lowest tuition, "Instead, we, ate
third in the nation in offerinj* fjree Wglier edu-
cation," he said.
If the bill passes",-sonie;-6f us' may have to""
work a little harder to earn that extra $25,
but for someone who reallyjvvants an education
that won't be too hard. G. K. ~
