Page 4 College Station, Texas Thursday, February 13, 1964 THE BATTALION Computers To Pick Teachers Electronic computers will help choose the best qualified from among the 300 junior high school science teachers applying for a National Science Foundation pro gram here, C. M. Loyd has dis closed. COACH NORTON’S PANCAKE HOUSE 35 varieties of finest pancakes, aged heavy KC steaks, shrimp, and other fine foods. Daily—Merchants lunch 11 to 2 p. m. The A&M University campus co ordinator of NSF programs also said selections will be announced Monday for the third session of the Academic Year Institute. Each nine-month session enrolls 30 or 32 men. Professor J. G. Potter of the Department of Physics directs the program. About 900 teachers from almost every state sent queries about the 1964-65 program. Three hundred applied and 130 of these teachers were later asked to take certain tests mailed to them, Loyd said. How to choose the top 30 from among these 130 applicants? “I once had a course in tests and measurements, and I also have done some work at the Data Pro cessing Center, so I knew it was possible to use the computer pro cess,” Loyd said. The computer processing is used in evaluating test scores from each applicant for mathematics, vocabu lary and reading comprehension, Loyd explained. The machine also prints out each applicant’s name, age, number of dependents, teach ing experience, semester hours of study in four sciences and mathe matics, and the evaluation of the applicant by each of six A&M faculty members involved in the Academic Year Institute. The Counseling and Testing Cen ter assisted in preparing the com prehensive evaluation system. The use of both electronic and human skills in considering each applicant’s potential provides im portant advantages both to the prospective student and to A&M, Loyd said. “I think the proof is in the pud ding,” Loyd said of the success of the comprehensive evaluation sys tem used on an experimental basis in earlier years. “The fact that the only ones who showed any academic troubles last semester were the lower ones on the list” was cited by Loyd. Teak, an extremely durable timber has been used in India for 2,000 or more years. Pieces of teak beams, 1,000 years old have been found there in a good state of preservation. PEANUTS By Charles M.

A few months after he joined the Department of Buildings and Utilities in 1947 he was learning the fundamentals of locks and keys and became the campus locksmith. “There’s always something to do in the dormitories or other build ings,” Burke said of his job. By his estimate, he has made “a jil- lion keys.” Students are responsi ble for 3,000 to 4,000 orders a year. No one knows how many locks there are on campus, not even Burke, who probably has worked on all of them through the years. The figure is somewhere in the thousands when dormitories, class rooms and other buildings are in cluded. “Since the launching of the firiij “Sputnik” the trend in UniversiT ties has been to urge graduatil research science at the expense| of the undergraduate.” This is a undersireable changtl in universities, said Dr. Charle!| E. Kellogg, deputy administrate!I of the Soil Conservation Service,! United States Department of Agri-j culture, in his speech “The Chang.j ing Role of the University, given! last night to the college of Agri.| culture. Kellogg is directing the study oil American Colleges of Agriculture I under a grant made to the Dni-| versity of Maryland by the Car-| negie Corporation. He commented that graduate] projects are too “mono” and that] students should do “research in a team.” He said they will have to work as a team in their occupa tions and they should be taught that way. Kellogg, who is a native ol Michigan, received formal train ing in soil science at Michigan State University. He did research and teaching in this field at the University of Wisconsin and North Dakota Agriculture College. He is visiting the campus to participate in the Southern Re gional Soil Survey-Planning Con ference. BUGGIES COULD FORD LOUISVILLE, Ky.
