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

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

Kyle Field Seating Arrangement

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.
