THE WESTERNER WORLD
PAGE THREE
If All-Fees Were One Fee
Education Would Still Be Cheap
Fifty-five dollars! That’s how
much the fees would cost' each stu-
dent if he took every course offered
in this school for one year. How-
ever, since the average student
doesn’t pay fees in more than three
classes, the cost for all these school
fees is approximately $4.58 per year,
the actual cost of education in Sen-
ion High.
If every student took every course,
the fee would amount to $71,500.
However, not taking all these cours-
es, the 1300 students only pay ap-
proximately $6,054 in school fees.

Textile Department Is Factory
For Practical Campus Industry
By Marie Peterman
The Textile Engineering depart-
ment at Texas Technological College
is the factory for one of the most
practical industries on the campus.
Materials spun and woven in the de-
partment have been a great factor
in making the school well known.
One suit, spun, woven, and made in
the textile department was sent to
the King of England several years
ago.
During the Scholastic Press clinic
here, as is usually ttie case when
a delegation of out of town people
are visiting Tech, student guides
were kept busy showing people
through the factory.
These students showed most inter-
est in the process of making cotton
yarn. In one big room cotton is
taken from the bale and made into
thread by going through a series of
machines.
Foreign material is first removed
from the cotton, then it is carried
by an air current to a “breaker
picker,” or a machine which forms
the cotton into ropes called “laps.”
In a “finisher picker,” similar to
the former machine, groups of four
laps are brought together. Accord-
ing maching thins out the laps,
which are now called “slivers,” be-
fore they are placed in groups of six
in a tight sliver. The slivers in
turn become “rovings” as they are
put on an “intermediate” twisting
machine.
A “fine frame” twists the rovings
still more, and after this process the
ropes deserve to be called “yarn.”
After strengthening processes,
part of the thread is put on a warp.
The warp crosses a “cylinder,” where
the starch is baked out, then it is
ready for the weaving machine.
This modern weaving machine is
a far cry from the days of the hand
loom. A bullet like shuttle dashes
back and forth across the frame to
weave the cloth easily and quickly.
The work of the Textile depart-
ment consists of more than spinning
and weaving. There are adequate
dying laboratories, knitting mach-
ines, and machines for finishing the
popular carded blankets.
Indeed, Lubbock and the South
Plains have every reason to be proud
of the work taught and practiced in
this textile department.
