I like that they talk about air conditioning twice.

I lived at A&M 4 1/2 years and never had AC. Lived 4 years in Law and 1 semester in Hart.

Great find.

Found the 1966 Batt article on the film:

Says it was commissioned by the school's department of publications, to be shown to high school audiences.

Cokes message about being affordable has been forgotten

Movie to promote the new hip Texas A&M University and moving away from the agricultural and mechanical college of Texas, the all male, military school

That was a nice find. I was born in the sixties, so was still many years from even knowing what Texas A&M was let alone enrolling there (started in 85). But there was a lot of imagery in there that looked pretty much like I remembered campus circa 1985. I was amused about the project to build an expanded library, clearly referring to Sterling C Evans Library, in that I've never known the campus without it but while a student there could clearly define where the new library started and the older one (the one I always described to akin to the corridors of the Nostromo in the Alien movie) ended.

I grew up in B/CS and this is the A&M from my early childhood. Dad taught journalism from 1965 - 1987. Back then, there was no old Zachry, no O&M building, no Commons, no new water tower, no Evans Library, and no West Campus. Only 12,000 students, no long hair and very few women.
