Vol. XIII, No. 16
LAMAR STATE COLLEGE OF TECHNOLOGY, BEAUMONT, TEXAS
March 1, 1963
Carr to Address Career Day Assembly
FOR THE
BIRDS
By Diane Flanigan
About this time the new
Lamar manual is being
distributed. We in this
comer of the nest strongly
feel that a new section
should be added to serve
as a real-life for impres-
sion a ble freshmen. In it
established truths, dogmas,
and Lamarisms are
explained, emphasizing that
the adherence to and study
of such will insure relative
understanding of this
embarkation on the sea of
1 e a r ning. (We pause now
to catch our breath.)
A widely accepted maxim
soon formulated and fol-
lowed is that "the early
r e d b i r d gets the parking
place." Also Joe Q. Frosn
must beware of the ivory
Falcon with hysterical
gleams in its beady little
headlights whose presence
can be detected by a
miserable trail of blue-
slipped windshield wipers.

C h e m m ajors will note
that t hey have been fully
initiated after they have sat
thro ugh Dr. Mer's highly
technical but traditional
lecture on "How to Cook
Beans in El Paso."

appreciate Mr. Faris'
three hour Machine Tool
P r o cess Lab in which one
hour is spent sweeping the

Students Hear
Tech President
Dr. F. L. McDonald
addressed a joint session
of the Senate and House of
R e p r e s entatives Monday
of the questionof any
future increase in tuition
in state colleges.
Dr. McDonald stated that
no such bill has as yet
been introduced in the
Texas legislature. The
question of an increase in
tuition arose because col-
leges are steadily growing
and more money is needed
to meet the commitments.
At present, there are
110.000 enrolled in the 19
state colleges. This figure
is nine per-cent more than
the figure of a year ago.
It is estimated that mere
will be approximately
135.000 next year, includ-
the enrollment in the
University of Houston.
More money is seriously
needed for improved
quality in education, better
salaries for the faculties,
laboratory equipment, and
libraries . The college
p r e sidents estimated that
they needed an additional
$72,000,000 for the 25,000
additional students plus
five per-cent a year for
improvements. It costs
$ 8 0 0 for each student in
college and students pay
only $100.
Dr. McDonaid further
stated that when the college
p r e s i dents were asked if
they would go along with a
raise in tuition, they stated
that they preferred that the
funds come from some
other source. However,
they made the following
qualifications in the event
that the legislature decided
to increase the tuition:
1. The increase would
not pay for future students
who are not yet in college
or for the University of
Houston.
2 . They suggested that
one-half of the $72,000,000
dollars should come from
taxes and the other one-
half w o u Id go to pay for
increased enrollment and
the University of Houston.
The second half would go
for improvements in edu-
cation.
After Dr. McDonald's
address, the joint session
decided to postpone any.
i m m e d iate action on this
question. The discussion
was put into a committee
for further study.
