College Costs Now About Four Times
More than They Were in Early 1930's
BY COOPER ETHERIDGE
If you have children who want
to go to college, you’d better start
saving your money. In fact,
chances are that you’re too late
already.
When I went to college about
33 years ago (a mere child, of
course) it cost about S6OO a year
—a total of $2,400 to $2,500 a year.
The same amount might get
your child through the freshman
year, and the costs go up each
year.
And they say that it gets tough
er to get accepted in the colleges
of today.
When I went, if the body was
warm and your father would sign
some notes, you were in. No one
asked me about my high school
grades. I had a diploma and
enough to pay the tuition for the
first quarter, so they signed me
up quick. Many colleges were glad
to have you; they were looking all
over the countryside for prospects.
Answers Are Changing
Now they turn up their noses at
students who don’t have Phi Beta
Kappa abilities and can’t figure
how to go to the moon.
Thirty-three years ago the chem
istry professor said there were 58
elements and there would be no
more. He also said the atom was
the smallest piece of matter and
now they have split the atoms and
added many elements. They’ve
changed the questions AND the
answers at college and I am glad
I don’t have to fight it out.
They talk a lot about the human
ities and social studies now, hav
ing broken down these specialties
to about the size of a split-atom.
The collegian taking these courses
now just says the courses are
about “stuff” and “different
things.”
The modern college student
counts a car a necessity, a sports
car a dream come true and a
sports car plus a bank checking
account as Utopia.
Many of the current crop get
that Utopia from their indulgent
parents the first year.
Hitch-Hiking Necessary
It seems that I spent about a
fourth of my college career hitch
hiking from Mercer to town, or
from Macon to Perry. My right
thumb was sore from sticking it
out at the motorists who were very
kind. It cost a nickel to ride the
street car from Mercer to town,
and many a time we didn’t have
that nickel. If a motorist did not
rescue you, the walk was about
a mile and a half. There were
four boys in the whole school who
had cars. They were called “Pluto
crats”.
You probably guessed it was the
depression years to which I refer.
Cigarets were hard to come by,
even if there was a brand called
Wings that sold for 11 cents a
pac, lax included. If you were
lucky enough to get a whole cigar
et, a classmate would come by and
point at the cigaret and say
“bang”. This meant that lie had
shot (he butt arid he was to have
(he rest of the smoke.
“Let that one come by here be
fore you throw it down,” said the
down-and-out student who didn’t
have smoke-money. We’ve seen one
cigaret go all the way around the
room of about eight boys, with
each taking a puff. The cigaret
would got so hot the smoke would
just about cut off your windpipe.
How (o Quit Smoking
Some students would get in such
a fix that they’d raid the ash trays
and insert a hairpin into the butt
and get a few more puffs. This
procedure would numb your throat
so you would not want to smoke
for quite a while.
As we recall, we didn’t now
there were summer and winter
clothes. We just wore what we
had until they wore out and got
some more, no matter what sea
son was coming up. Some of our
suits were so slick from wear we
couldn’t sit in a chair without
sliding out. It was the day when
they cleaned three suits for a dol
lar, and it was hard to find three
guys in college who even had suits,
much less three that needed clean
ing.
We got our haircuts downtown
for two bits, a pair of shoes for
$3.45 and socks at three pairs for
a buck. Ties were about 50 cents
and handkerchiefs a dime.
The depression college boy was
at somewhat of a handicap in the
matter of courting. The town girl
with a car was, of course, the
queen of the ball. Not many girls
had cars, either, but some could
borrow the family bus for the
date.
A Show, Plus Cokes!
Usually, taking a girl to a show
was a pretty big deal for a boy to
swing financially, but sometimes
the boy was even so loaded with
money that he could buy a couple
of Cokes after the show. He was
known as one of the last great
spenders.
When a boy said “Can I come
over tonight,” he meant just that.
He was going over to the girl’s
house and would remain there un
til her father blew the whistle on
the date. She probably served him
a Coke and a cookie or two, or
I they raided the refrigerator. This
! was a perfectly agreeable thing to
i the girl because she didn’t know
; about these dates of today—sup-
Ipering and night clubbing. The
i boy had spent nothing hut shoe
Heather in getting to the girl’s
, house, and they had a great time
listening to her Victrola or the
radio, featuring Guy Lombardo,
Skinny Ennis, Jan Garber, etc.
Just Get to Saving!
There was one formal dance a
year at Mercer and this resulted in
a great search for tuxedos the
boys could borrow. We recall bor
rowing a cousin’s tux which was
about a half-size larger than we
required. Safety pins took up the
slack and were well covered. Many
boys just passed up the formal
dances and made those at which
their slick suit would be accepta
ble. A series of dances would cost
about $4 total and a $2.50 corsage
often was just out of the question.
Life was simpler then and ap
parently just as much fun because
we didn’t know any better—we
didn’t know we were so deprived.
So if you have, say four children
college-bound, start rounding up
from $32,000 to $40,000 for the
four of them. Don’t ask me how,
just get moving.
GRAIN SORGHUM
Grain sorghum, a crop especially
adapted to seasons of limited rain
fall, can be used on many Georgia i
farms for the poultry and livestock (
feed markets. Agronomists with ]
the Extension Service point out i
that grain sorghum also makes ex
cellent silage. And it can be work- i
ed into rotations following small 1
grain and crimson clover.
]
Americans will eat slightly more 1
red meat in 1964 than the record :
170 pounds per person in 1963,
the U. S. Department of Agricul- :
ture predicts. i

Strangely, color blind people
generally have similar facial char
acteristics. They have a V-shaped
face and their eyes are close-set.
In general they are very intelli
gent and their ranks include many
from specialized fields such as
medicine and law.
Another mark of the color blind
person is an even disposition, sel
jdom given to anger or deep fits
of gloom.
Incidentally, color blind or not.
you will never have occasion to
feel anger or gloom when you
trade at AKIN DRUG CO. Quality
