Training Ship For
TMA Students Now
' ' -4.' i
In Reserve Fleet
A training ship has been ob
tained for the Texas Maritime
Academy, Capt. Bennett M. Dod
son, superintendent of the new
academy, said today.
Dodson went to New Orleans
last week to obtain a training
ship from the Maine Maritime
Academy, the “State of Maine,”
to be used for summer cruises by
TMA cadets.
The U. S. Maritime Adminis
tration has arranged for the ship
to be put in the reserve fleet at
Beaumont. It will be kept there
until the TMA accepts the ship in
about two years, Dodson said.
The “State of Maine” is the
former World War II hospital
ship, “Comfort.” Dodson comment
ed that it is an ideal training ship.
Dodson also went through a
shipping warehouse while in the
Cresent City to select instru
ments and equipment to be used in
the TMA’s nautical and engineer
ing labs. Included were sextants,
gyroscopes and drafting equip
ment.

Break with the academic status
quo and give your students a
chance to show how struirt they
are!
That’s what the arts and sci
ences faculty were told by Dr. W.
W. Hagerty, engineering dean at
the University of Texas.
Speaking at the annual faculty
meeting of the School of Arts and
Sciences, Hagerty outlined the
“Dangers of Academic Status Quo”
and criticized college teaching
methods everywhere.
“We teach like we were taught
—or how we think we were
taught,” he said. In so doing,
“We’re trying to reproduce our
selves.”
This is not giving today’s col
lege students what they need to
meet the requirements of the fu
ture. He predicted that a large-

scale change in college teaching is
in order—something comparable to
the magnitude of the rapi^l tech
nological changes today.
“The danger in not changing is
not because of competion with an
other society like Russia,” he said.
“The danger is that we won’t ob
tain maximum benefit from our
own society.”
Adhering strictly to an academic
schedule of courses often stifles
creativity in excellent studerits
while the “best” students are often
those with the best “feedback”
ability, he noted.
The engineering dean, whose
earlier academic years were spent
at the University of Minnesota,
approved the policy of college
English departments of putting
more emphasis on development of
ideas and less on rhetoric.
“I would rather have a student
who has ideas and can express
himself—give or take a few mis
spelled words,” he said, adding it
is more important to teach stu
dents to grasp abstract principles,
to give them a sense of thinking
at an abstract level.
“I don’t think we’re coming any
where near taxing the capacity of
students,” Hagerty said. “They
have never failed to respond to
real academic challenge. . .give
them a chance to show how smart
they are!”

An Open Letter
loThe Students Of A&M
Dear Student and Friend:
The challenge of this space age in which we are
living is OURS-YOURS AND MINE. We are the age
group that must accept and meet this challenge if our
way of life is to be preserved.
I ask you to join with me in meeting this challenge.
Give me the benefit of your knowledge of this space age;
the benefit of your youthful outlook; the benefit of
your courage; the benefit of your council. Together let
us meet this challenge as all young men before us have
done.
Give me your vote for Governor on May 5. Give
me your active support in this campaign for Governor.
Together let us MAKE TEXAS FIRST.
Give me your support and I promise you honesty
and efficiency in our State Government.
Very Sincerely yours
Don Yarborough
