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.

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.

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. OP) - A
memorable low water year on the
Ohio River was experienced in
1861. At Cairo, 111., the water
was only three feet deep. Horses
pulled buggies across the river
at Madison, Ind., near Louisville.
