Page 4 College Station, Texas Thursday, February 14, 1963 THE BATTALION REQUIREMENTS GO UP New Teacher Program Slated AUSTIN — Texas colleges are preparing a new public school teacher in a program of teacher education intended to offer more of both specialized and general knowledge. The Texas program of teacher education, in comparison with those of other states, indicates that Tex as requirements for academic spec ialization are higher than the majority of other states, require ments for professional education courses are lower and the required background in liberal arts (acade mic foundations) is higher. IN THE FIELD of general knowledge, the new teacher will have 60 semester hours — approx imately 15 semester hours more than his predecessor in the “aca demic foundations” — including such basic subjects and English, history, government, science, math ematics and foreign languages. In the field of specialized know ledge, whether he is an elementary or high school teacher, he will have had from 12 to 24 more semester hours of “academic specialization” than was required of teachers in previous years. The subjects will be in his major teaching field or related fields. For elementary teachers, 36 hours of specialized study in the subject matter of a teaching field are now required. These may in clude either 18 or 24 hours in one subject and the remaining 12 or 18 hours in a combination of re lated subjects. For example, the elementary teacher may complete 18 or 24 hours in history for his “academic specialization,” completing the ad ditional 18 or 12 hours required in government, art, or allied subjects spec- which would tie in with a ialization in history.” HIGH SCHOOL teachers must now have two major fields of specialization with 24 semester hours in each or one 48- semester hour area of specialization. The emphasis on academic spec ialization in teaching fields came after the Texas Houston of Re presentatives, 57th Legislature, in Resolution No. 717, cited “sharp differences of opinion on the pro portion of ‘how-to-teach’ courses in relation to the number of cours es in the major subject field.” Both elementary and high school teachers will have six semester hours less required work in pro fessional education courses — a reduction from 24 semester hours to 18. Of the 18 hours, six will be in student teaching. REQUIREMENTS FOR both ele mentary and high school teachers now include: at least 12 hours in English, six hours of United States history, three to six hours in government and 12 hours in sci ence, mathematics and/or foreign languages. Both groups will have had six hours of student teaching, three hours in “how-to-teach” and nine hours of education “foundations.” The nine hours of education found ations will vary with each teacher, but for many will include such pro fessional courses as tests and mea surements, psychology, audio-vis ual aids and a general background study of the history of education. The Texas Education Agency re ports that all senior colleges offer ing programs of teacher education in Texas now have on file evidence of compliance with the new pro gram. L Around The Lecture Hath %ing 1 Lecture Set On Spectrometry Dr. Lawrence K. Akers, also of the Oak Ridge Institute of Nu clear Studies, will be presented Monday at 8 p.m. as another lec turer in the Graduate Lecture Series. A research scientist in the spec ial training division of the insti tute, he will lecture on the sub ject, “Alpha, Beta and Gamma Spectrometry.” The lecture is plan ned in the Biological Sciences lec ture room. Akers studied at the University of Florida, and holds the B. A. and M. S. degree in physics and mathe matics from the University of Georgia. His Ph. D. degree in the same subject fields is from Vanderbilt University. At the Oak Ridge Institute he conducts research and serves as a member of the lecturing staff. His primary interest lies in the field of nuclear and radiation phy sics. Akers spent a year as an Ato- GOLDEN AGE DRINKS BEST FEOUR Packed By Quaker MIRACLE WHIP Asst. Flavors Qts. ^ § Lb.

Manning, will present a program on “The Use of Nuclear Rockets: Lunar Landing and Beyond,” next Tuesday at 7;30 p.m. in the Biolog ical Sciences lecture room. Spon sors are the student chapters of the American Nuclear Society and the Institute of Aerospace Science. Manning will discuss the early applications and space missions of nuclear rockets. A hypothetical manned lunar landing using a first- generation nuclear engine boosted by a Saturn C-5 launch vehicle will be examined in detail. In addi tion, more ambitious missions re quiring advanced nuclear engines will be discussed, along with sev eral characteristics of these en gines.

Fat Diet Chickens Lay Healthy Eggs ij$ng - electric Biry. business Poultry nutrition authorities are changing their minds about large amounts of fat being undesirable in laying hen diets. Poultry scientists have been feed ing a group of layers on a high-fat diet, and all the birds are normal and getting along fine. The project, conducted by gra duate student Tony Zavala Madero of Saltillo, Mexico, and supervised by Dr. J. R. Couch and Dr. C. R. Creger, was started under a public health program. Madero took a group of day-old chicks three years ago and put them on a ration containing pro tein, unsaturated vegetable fat ;ches-Termit Spid & L PE!
