THE BATTALION
‘Junction’ - A Unique College
The second six weeks session on
what is probably the world’s most
unique college campus began Mon
day, July 17.
Here in the land where rugged
cliffs and hills‘challenge the mon
archy of the pecan trees is situ
ated the Texas A&M College
Adjunct. Located on the banks of
the South Llano river, 250 miles
west of College Station, this
campus combines camp life with
college training in a remarkable
way.
The 411 acres, a gift of the
citizens of Kimble county to the
State of Texas, provides the set
ting each summer for approxi
mately 335 students in their quest
for higher education.
Physical facilities of the beauti
ful campus will accommodate only
120 freshmen each six weeks, al
though demand is piueh greater
and there is a waiting list for both
sessions. In addition 40 civil engi
neering students and 15 geology
majors complete necessary labora
tory work at the Adjunct this
summer.
Adjunct freshmen take six
semester hours of classroom work,
usually mathematics and English,
plus one course in either college
reading or college study. Physical
Education is required in either life
saving or conditioning.
Professors and instructors from
the main A&M campus conduct
activities at the Adjunct each
summer. The camp is directed by
W. Dee Kutach. A. E. Denton is
camp counselor. English is taught
by Louis F. Hauer, Roy E. Cain
and H. S. Creswell.
Mathematics courses are con
ducted by Haile D. Perry, R. R.
Lyle and R. A. Knapp. W. J.
Dobson and R. X-. Provost provide
instruction in college study and
college reading respectively.
The physical education classes
are in charge of H. B. Segrest and
Paul M. Andrews’..
The Civil Engineering Depart
ment of Texas A&M requires one
six-weeks session be spent at the
Adjunct. This laboratory work is
usually done between the student’s
junior and senior years. J. A. Orr
and E. L. Harrington of the main
campus faculty h.ave 40 students
enrolled for each of two summer,
1961, sessions. Stxidents do land
surveying, typographic mapping,
highway surveying-i and measure
ment of stream flow.
In addition, 15 g^eology majors
are using the Adjunct this session.
Under the direction otf Karl Koenig
of A&M’s Geology Department,
this group, mostly ju tviors at Texas
A&M, does field wotrk preparing
maps and plane tabling. Labora
tory operations extend as far as
the Marathon Basin and the Big
Bend country.
“The A&M Adjunct is student-
centered, not institutional cen
tered,” points out W. Dee Kutach,
the director. “Only two privileges
exist: One is to teaeh and the
other is to learn. We are dedicated
to the development of the complete
student in all of his capabilities.”
Why is the demand for admis
sion to the Junction Adjunct so
great? First session students offer
an insight:
Stephen Williams, freshman
from Gilmer who plans to major
in architecture, says, “I came to
the Adjunct t6 learn how to study.
In addition I wanted to get some
of my English and mathematics
requirements behind me so I will
not have to take such a heavy load
in the fall.”
Dickey Forns, a mechanical engi
neering major from Eagle Pass,
stated that his high school coun
selor had recommended the summer
Adjunct program as ideal prepara
tion for college.
Tom Ralph, Aggie junior student
from Clifton and a civil engineer
ing major, points out, “this is not
a place for freshmen to pick up
easy credit; it is just as difficult,
scholastically, as the main campus.
But boys get more help from the
professor here and a student
studies in a more relaxed atmos
phere.”
Director Kutach underscored an
other reason fo rthe existence of
the A&M Adjunct when he re
ported, “students get something
extra at Junction. The Adjunct
helps bridge the gap between high
school and College. Students who
spent six weeks here usually do
better scholastic work at the main
campus.”
The Adjunct campus, now in its
11th year of operation, is phys
ically composed of a combination
administration-class room building,
a dining hall and 20 cabins.
Students are housed in only 19
of the cabins this summer since
demand for class room space re
quire one of the cabins for in
struction. Twelve students are
housed in each cabin; 11 are fresh
men while a junior civil engineer
ing student serves as cabin leader.
Meals are prepared and served
in the dining* hall by food specialist
personnel from the campus ' at
College Station.
A doctor from Junction and a
local nurse provide medical care.
They visit the Adjunct ddily. Junc
tion has a modern hospital should
hospitalization become necessary
for student or professor.
Besides the required physical
education, the intramural sports
programs offers volley ball, soft-
ball, basketball, table tennis and
swimming. Nearly 100 per cent
of the students participate on a
voluntary basis. Canoeing, fish
ing, badminton, horseshoes, weight
training and others, provide addi
tional sports activity.
How does the City of Junction,
population 2,500, feel about the
Adjunct?
Joi'dan L. Cunningham, presi
dent of the Junction National
Bank, stated, “The A&M Adjunct
is a wonderful addition to Junc
tion. I have never heard any bad
criticism from anyone who at
tended. The boys that come out
seem to get so much out of it.”
Walter W. Leamons, county
judge of Kimble county, com
mented, “summer school is won
derful. This feeling is unanimous
among- the townspeople. The
Adjunct personnel make quite a
wholesome contribution to the com
munity and are active participants
in the churches.”
‘ Hubert Brewster, businessman
and secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce, says, “the relationship
between Adjunct people and the
townspeople is very excellent. I
don’t think anyone in Junction
objects to it.”
“The Adjunct is good for the
community; the overall good of
Junction,” says Dow Burnett,
president of the Junction Lions
Club and a local druggist. “It is
unbelievable, the behavior of the
students; no mischief; the boys
are gentlemen.”
