'ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE'
Swap Those Wax Beans For Comradeship-
Join The Exodus To Off-Campus Living!
MAN WITH MOP—Just another of the joys of off-campus
living, housecleaning, demonstrated here by Bob Herring. (Photo

It takes a special breed of man
to break the shackles of dorm-
itory life and escape from the
swamp. You can all complain—
about the humidity, college food,
lumpy beds, and mosquitoes;
about the Master of your college,
lack of privacy, or the prohibi-
tive price of room and board.
If you had enough guts to do
something about it you would
move off campus!
I am convinced that pork
sausage has persuaded more
Rieeites to move off campus then
any other single factor. The next
time pork sausage is served at
your college lunch, cut off the
end and, squeeze out the grease.
That little white thing wriggling
out of the sausage is only a blad-
der worm. It really can't hurt
you . . . but Houstonian Jim Wil-
liams decided that even living at
home with over-protective parents
is better than grubby* sausages
for dinner.
MANY RICEITES have left
campus to bolster the nation's
economy and preserve their own.
A typical 4-5 room apartment in
this area runs $65-$85 per month,
with air-conditioning. These
apartments comfortably house
five men or two men and two
women, if that is your inclina-
tion.
Assuming maximum costs of
living for four men we get this
breakdown:
$85 Rent (with air condition-
ing)
$120 Food (if they eat like
horses)
$12 Bicycles (four bicycles
amortized over nine months)
$217 divided by four is $54.25
per man per month.
IF YOU LIVE on campus, you
are paying twice as much and get-
ting less. The typical apartment
in the area is new, clean, and free
of termites. The beds are com-
THE BELL TELEPHONE
COMPANIES SALUTE
CARL HORN
How many more people will need telephone
service in Illinois by 1970? How many more tele-
phone buildings should be built, how much more
equipment ordered?^lelping to find the right
answers (because the wrong ones could be very ex-
pensive) is the job of Carl Horn, a telephone com-
pany economist who graduated from college just last
year. His studies and estimates help management
make important forecasting decisions. Decisions that
will bring advanced communications to the nation.
Carl Horn of Illinois Bell Telephone Company,
and other young men like him in Bell Telephone
Companies, help make your telephone and com-
munications service the finest in the world.

fortable. Privacy is yours. Study-
ing is possible. Anything is pos-
sible . . .
Money may not be your prob-
lem, and maybe you don't want
to cook for yourself. The'obvious
answer is to get married, but
there is a less binding solution:
move into a private home where
the cooking is good and you can
eat all the food you want.
For the price of living on
campus you can move into an
ultra-modern home at 2402 Dry-
den, with air conditioning,
privacy, and home-cooked meals
such as breakfast, lunch, and
dinner. Jim Redford and Don
Fizer play dominoes there^
pausing occasionally for steak
dinner . . . that's right—steak
dinner. "Ma" Kendrick, noted
Texas hostess and chef, does the
cooking and guarantees all the
food you'd ever want, whatever
your tastes, whenever you want
it.
IF YOU WANT the unique in
college life, let your imagination
run wild. The boys in Chateau
Argo (Nemo Freepo, are you
listening ?) have created their own
little paradise of art, fine music,
exotic foods ... In between, they
actually find more time to study
then they did in the noisy, sticky
mess at the college they lived
in.
Does this all sound unreal ? The
grass is really greener on the
other side of the fence. The Image
of tomorrow is the Image of the
Off-Campus Man. He makes bet-
ter grades, he makes more time,
he meets more women. Don't miss
out—the exodus from campus is
swelling into a tide. Even now it
may be too late. . .

position for criticism.
THE REFERENDUM will have
no official effect upon the policy
adhered to by the Board of Re-
gents, but it still stands as a
further expression of student
opinion. Since it resulted in the
largest vote in the history of the
University, its import cannot be
ignored.
As the "Daily Texan" com-
mented: "The referendum was
i
intended to answer questions as to
just who represented the minority
opinion. We think this question
has been answered."

prehended by technology.
The presence of October 29,
1961, can only be unity; its re-
fuge, only in an ingatheredness,
a conscious recalling of himself
to himself, or prayer; never,
never in the blind and blinding
pride of the technician closed in
by his techniques.
