My Skubal, Rt. 1, Wheelock, Tex

ter of Mr. and
Mrs. Willie Sku
bal. She enrolled
at the McKinzie-
Baldwin College
for the Secretar
ial and IBM Key

after graduation
from Stephen F.

and Certificate
on completion of
these two
courses and is
now working as Secretary for the
Hon. W. S. Barron, Attorney.
Through the Industrial Educa-
t i o n Department’s electronics
learning stations, lab instruction
and problems are presented by
tape recorders and places the re
sponsibility for learning where it
belongs, with the student, Boone
believes.
The industrial educator profes
sor notes that the junior and sen
ior courses utilizing the lab are
concerned with learning facts.
Students in the applied industrial
electricity and electricity-elec
tronics courses learn how to use
a voltohmeter, vacuum tube volt
meter, ocilloscope and electronic
theory behind construction and
operation of electronic devices.
Industrial distribution and in
dustrial technology majors of
whom the courses are required
usually go into industrial sales or
industrial production supervision.
EACH STATION in t h e lab
contains a tape recorder, head
phones, a voltohmeter, vacuum
tube voltmeter, ocilloscope, audio
and radio frequency generators,
low and high voltage power sup
plies and a signal tracer.
Station consoles were human
engineered to put instruments
within ideal arm reach and meter
reading distance. Graduate as
sistants under Boone’s direction
built the cabinets.
He personally gives lectures at
specified times in the two courses,
but from there the student has
opportunity to learn on his own.
Two-hour labs are scheduled to
fit the individual’s schedule and
may be at any time during the
week when one of the 10 stations
are open an hour.
In a 40-hour week, the profes
sor says 200 students—100 per
course—can satisfy lab require
ments. Night labs would increase
capacity.
WHEN A STUDENT comes in
for his lab session, he checks out
a pair of earphones, plugs in,
turns on station power, cues the
tape to the week’s assignment
and flips the play-back switch.
A knee control enables the in
dividual to rewind and play back
a sentence or concept he might
not have grasped the first time.
He can rerun the section as many
times as necessary.
“We find some students spend
less time here than in a controlled
lab, but still get the material,”
Boone remarked. “The student
paces himself.”
The audio tutorial system has
other advantages, both for the
student and professor. By a cir
cuit common to all 10 booths,
Boone can record a series of lab
sessions at one time, requiring
only one master tape.
Several sets of lab instructions
stay on the station tapes a num
ber of weeks, so the student can
refer back to previous sessions if
necessary.
ONLY 10 SETS of equipment
are available, but each student
has his turn. Under controlled
lab situations, they would have
to be paired on a set. One might
tend to take over, denying the
other student opportunity to
learn equipment usage, Boone
noted.
“When the student dons head
phones and starts the tape re
corder, he becomes secluded in a
world all his own,” the professor
went on. “The phones cut out
extraneous sound and makes it
possible for better concentration.”
IT ENCOURAGES individual
work, cuts down on student ques
tions though the professor or a
graduate assistant are present at
all times and enables the student
to learn more on his own.

SAVE MY CHILD
A Vietnamese woman runs toward the officer in charge of advancing South Vietnamese
troops, crying that her child was left in her home occupied by North Vietnamese forces.
Troops later found the child in the ruins of the home in the outskirts of Bien Hoa, after
air strikes by U. S. helicopters supporting the Vietnamese Rangers. The child’s condi
tion was not available. (AP Wirephoto)

SATURDAY AND SUNDAYS 12:30, 2:30, 4:30, 6:30, 8:30 P. M.
THE GRADUATE lecture at
3 p.m. Friday will be conducted
by Dr. Gottfried S. Fraenkel, Na
tional Institute of Health distin
guished career professor of ento
mology at the University of Illi
nois. His topic is “Hormonal
Control of Development During
the Life History of Files.”
Dr. Fraenkel joined the Uni
versity of Illinois in 1948 after
serving 22 years in staff posi
tions with research and higher
educational institutions in Italy,
Israel, Germany and England. He
received his Ph.D. in 1925 at the
University of Munich.
The internationally recognized
entomologist is credited with sev
eral major discoveries in his field.
His scope of interest is generally
considered to cover a broader
area than any other contempo
rary insect physiologist.
DR. SCHUESSLER came to
the United States in 1966 from
Germany, where he taught at the
University of Heidelberg and the
Technological University in Ber
lin. He earned his Ph.D. in 1964
at the University of Heidelberg.
He joined the University of
Washington faculty three years
ago as a research assistant pro
fessor.
Dr. Dessler, who joined the Rice
faculty as department head in
1963, received his Ph.D. from
Duke University in 1956. He held
various scientific positions with
Lockheed Missiles and Space Co.
from 1956 to 1962, when he ac
cepted a position as professor at
the Southwest Center for Ad
vanced Studies in Dallas.
BLACK AFFAIRS
(Continued From Page 1)
Society in that it is a communi
cation link between the black
student body and the adminis
tration, while the Afro-Ameri
can Society “is the organization
for the black student body.”
He added that he thinks the
Afro-American Society should be
allowed on campus because it is
the voice of the Negro students
and serves as the representation
of the black student, “like or
ganizations that represent the
white student.”
The Afro-American Society
was denied campus representa
tion last fall because the ad
ministration felt that it was a
politically-doctrined organization.
A&M has a ruling against politi
cal organizations and candidates
being allowed to function on
campus.

SENIORS
In 1965, we first offered graduating Ag-gies the
popular plan of 100% financing at bank rates and other
unique features. Now, for the first time by any dealer,
we offer car leasing at even lower monthly rates than
car payments.
See us about our plan now.
Them no mystery
about leasing
a Chevrolet.
Just ask the man
who sells them.
Why pass up a good idea, because no one’s bothered to
explain it? If you’re curious about leasing, see us.
As a Chevway/Chevrolet dealer, we now offer you a
choice—buying or leasing. And we can afford to be
objective—we just want you for a Chevy customer.
So we’ll tell you if leasing is best for your life and
pocket. And we’ll show you the cars. And if you decide
to lease, you can wrap up a good deal on the spot. Just
ask your Chevway/Chevrolet dealer!
