’ F v 4 t ■ ’ PAGE 6 Thursday, October 22, 1059 THE BATTALION Before 72 Educators Kamm Tells of ‘Awakening’ In Junior College Meeting United Nations The nation’s universities and Colleges are enjoying a new intel lectual awakening, one of the main speakers said at A&M during the 16th annual Junior College Confer ence held Oct. 19-20. Dr. Robert B. Kamm, dean of arts and sciences at Oklahoma State University, told the 72 col lege educators and administrators attending the session that greater concern is being shown for aca demic matters. But this does not mean the trend is completely widespread. He said many schools of higher learning are confronted with “apathy” and even “hostility” to an academic atmosphere. Kamm cited a need for a recon ciliation of teachers and students on education objectives. Too often, educators strive for intellectual growth, while students want nothing more than vocational preparation. Some teachers, he told the group, regard thepiselves more as scholars than as educators and they tend to lose contact with their pupils. To relieve the situ ation, they should work to orient students intellectually. “The future of our nation rests Ag Ed Student Awarded Grant Arlis Odickes of Goliad, an agri cultural education major at A&M has been awarded a $125 scholar ship to be used during his last year in school. The scholarship was provided by the A&M Collegiate Chapter of Future Fanners of America. E. V. Walton, head of the De partment of Agricultural Educa tion at the college, said Adickes received the award on the basis of his academic achievements and school activities. largely with our teachers,” Kamm said. The speaker said ther-e is a big need for more teachers, statesmen, doctors, farmers who are highly skilled in their art. And to get them, gifted students’ talent should be challenged and developed. Kamm also said there is a new appreciation of teachers and the liberal arts are now playing a ma jor role in the current intellectual awakening. “There is an increased aware ness among educators that with skill must be added wisdom,” the speaker said. Kamm urged that excellence in higher education is necessary for survival in the modern world. “It has more meaning when we consider it with ultimate excel lence,” he said. Kamm is a former director of student personnel •ser vices at A&M. Purpose of the conference was to promote closer working rela tionships between junior and senior colleges, according to Dr. C. H. Ransdell, association director of A&M’s Basic Division and chair man of the conference. Other speakers at the first day’s session were Dr. Ross R. Middle- miss of St. Louis, Mo., mathe matics professor at Washington University; Dr. Winfred Lehman, chairman of Germanic languages at the University of Texas, and Dr. Josephine McAmis, professor of chemistry at San Antonio Col lege. Although the system is relative ly new in the United States, it has been studied and in use for some time in Europe.
