Century Council Ready To Begin Adjourns Work By BOB SLOAN Battalion Editor Initial meeting of the Century Council was concluded today as members began heading home with outlined “plans of action” for the two-year Century Study. The 100 outstanding Texans on the Council will study and evalu ate ways A&M can best meet the needs of the people of Texas dur ing the next 15 years. The 1976 The complete text of Jenkin Lloyd Jones’ speech is repro duced on Page 3 of this issue. target date for the Study will also be the College’s centennial year. Appointed Aug. 1, the Council met the first time for an organiza tional meeting on campus Thurs day and Friday. A banquet in the Memorial Stu dent Center Thursday night and an assembly this morning made up a “Forecast Conference,” a part of the organizational session of the Century Council designed to pro vide members with a background of some of the conditions which may influence higher education in the Southwest over the next few years. A keynote speech by Jenkin Lloyd Jones, editor of the Tulsa (Okla.) Tribune, touched off the Forecast Conference. Attending the banquet were close to 75 of the 100 men and women appointed to the Council. Also present at the important kick-off banquet were several college offi cials, including Chancellor M. T. Harrington, President Earl Rudder, Chairman of the Board of Direc tors Eugene B. Darby, and deans of the College. Dean of Veterinary Medicine A. A. Price presided. Also present were State Sen. William T. (Bill) Moore and State Rep. Brownrig Dewey, both of Bryan, and several student leaders. Jones, in his speech, warned the assembled Council members and educators that A&M “should do one thing above all . . . learn to compress learning,” if it is to con tinue to turn out students who “will not only be immedliately usefu in an increasingly specialized so ciety, but also will have the philo sophical background that will keep that society free.” He predicted that by 1976 col leges and universities in America will be using teaching methods and devices not yet thought of in order to force necessary knowledge into the minds of their students. “The graduate chemistry of 50 years ago will have to be covered by your sophomore year. The en gineering which would have been worth an M.S. at M.I.T. in 1925 must be known to your juniors (See CENTURY on Page 2) ilJH 00 91 L™ : ' V rr »i|Ii»i/iiii»i >11.1 liiili iMWKiwmn/M WM) i I'wn 11 ii 111111111 ini 111 ii ill! in miiii Mrtii w<*iiiii wy|iii!i) i' i mmh imftiWfWiiw^jiii i ii/ff 7,643 Kyle Field Seats Reserved Kyle Field Seating Arrangement Pictured above is the seating arrangement for students ment is basically the same as those used at Kyle Field dur- and dates at home football games this season. The arrange- ing past football seasons. (Drawing by Jim Earle) A total of 7,643 seats will be available for students and their dates at Kyle Field this coming season. According to Kenneth Joyce, chairman of the Student Senate Student Life Committee, the seats reserved for students will begin at the fifty yard line in the east stands and extend into the north end zone seats. All students are urged to have their dates meet them in the prop er section of the stands to avoid confusion, said Joyce. He also added that no one will be admitted in the student seating section un less that have a student activity card or student date ticket. He said students and their dates will be expected to sit only in the seating section reserved for the student’s class. Civilians will be admitted to their respective sections by show ing the Kyle Field seating card issued them when they paid their student activity fees during regis tration. Ropes separating the sections will be taken down after the kick off as in the past, stated Joyce. This means that once a section is filled the ropes will be removed and everyone may move over if they desire. Seniors will have 3,000 seats available extending from the 50 yard line to the 15 yard line.
