Dr. Grady P. Parker, head of the Department of Education and Commentator Staff Plans for 1959-60 A meeting was held last night by incoming editor of ' The Com mentator, Tucker Sutherland, to lay the groundwork for naming the 1959-60 staff. Sutherland also discussed some tentative plans for changing the magazine for next year. He said nothing really definite could be es tablished until the new Dean of Arts and Sciences arrives. He said the staff was also con templating a general overhaul of the magazine, including a new name. Sutherland stated the magazine will not be a humor magazine and it will not be strictly a literary magazine as the Commentator was this year. The name which looks like the most favorable is The Ag gie Scholar, Sutherland said. Men who signed as possible members of next years staff are Tom Stafford, Bob Roberts, Jim Coston, Jim Gibson, Joe Jackson, Kenneth Allen, Chuck Kincaid, Dan Louis, Richard Reiser, Jay Collins, Bob Dodson, Pat Mazzeo, John Kiekbusch, Dal Herring, Bill Broussard and Tommy Holbein. Psychology, said that 15 students from the department are complet ing their practice teaching this semester at the two school systems. Five student teachers are as signed to A&M Consolidated High School in College Station, four to Stephen F. Austin High School in j Bryan and three each to Bryan’s junior high schools, Lamar and Jones. Education majors are required to participate in the student teach ing program for one semester dur ing their senior year, spending a minimum of 15 hours in the class room each week. These semesters are divided in to three definite periods for the student teacher. First, he observes the work and methods of the reg ular, or cooperating teacher. Next, he assists the teacher with varied duties, and third, he assumes* full responsibility of the classroom for at least six weeks. During the 18 weeks of the stu dent’s practice teaching, he en gages in most of the activities that a classroom teacher would exper ience. He attends meetings of the Parent-Teacher Assn.', the faculty and student organizations, clubs and homerooms, visits homes of students when accompanied by the cooperating teachers and partici pates in various school-community functions. To further his preparation, each practice teacher is required to keep a daily “log” of his classroom ex periences, make a written study of each student in his assigned class and select one student for a more complete child study and analysis.
