Management
Will Depend
On Computers
Data processing is becoming one
of the master keys of successful
management of colleges and uni
versities, the College and Univer
sity Machine Records Conference
learned here Monday.
Jack R. Woolf, president of Ar
lington State College, said comput
ers and other electronic equipment
will soon become a necessity to
save time and simplify manage
ment complexities.
“Schools that are efficient in
management will find it much
easier to survive,” Woolf pointed
out. “Grants and other funds will
go to those institutions which can
demonstrate efficiency.”
The college president was the
keynote speaker at the opening
session of the conference at A&M
University. About 400 persons
representing more than 150 uni
versities in the United States and
Canada are attending the three-day
session.
Topics range from data process
ing for educational management
to automatic scheduling and regis
tration in schools.
Colleges and universities have
been “archaic” in management
methods and have “paid attention
to nearly all areas of society ex
cept our own,” Woolf said.
He described data processing as
the best method of securing accur
ate, quick information for manage
ment. And university presidents
should approve and encourage the
system, Woolf said.
Data processing, the speaker ex
plained, improves communication
among departments of a school. It
can compile grade reports and
show how each student stands in
his studies.
Woolf emphasized that electro
nic equipment “is not turning each
student into a number and is not
de-personalizing him.”
Data processing at Arlington
has been used to study teaching
loads and class sizes. The result
is higher teacher salaries and im
proved classroom utilization, he
said.
Woolf recommended that data
processing answers be as simple
as possible for university heads,
such as the president. They do not
have time to read elaborate re
ports. Detailed reports should go
to second and third eschelon per
sonnel, Woolf maintained.
Data processing must be “sold
to faculty and staff, who are still
inclined to be suspicious,” he con
tinued.
Woolf urged creativity and im
agination in setting up processing
systems.
“Data processing has much to
offer educational institutions. Let’s
get with it,” he concluded.
A main attraction on Tuesday’s
program was Robert Fano’s re
port on Project MAC. Fano, elec
trical engineering professor at
Massachusetts Institute of Techno
logy, will transmit data from the
conference headquarters to MIT
in Massachusetts. A calculation
will be made on machines there and
transmitted back to the meeting,
all in a matter of seconds.
A Texas-sized jigsaw puzzle will
be fitted together Friday on the
A&M University campus as indus
trial arts students from 31 high
schools assemble a 1,250 square
foot building.
Industrial arts students have
built sections of the structure and
will bring them here for assembly
as a highlight of the Texas Indus
trial Arts Student Fair Friday and
Saturday. Approximately 1,000
students are expected for the fair.
“The building sections can’t
measure over 4x8 feet, so they’ll
fit into a pickup,” W. A. Mayfield
said. He is an industrial arts
teacher in the Bryan schools, an
A&M doctoral student in industrial
education and state advisor for the
Texas Industrial Arts Student
Association.
The exhibition hall designed by
Thomas Faubion, a junior in
Bryan’s Stephen F. Austin High
School and a student of Mayfield’s,
won a $1,000 award. Faubion plans
to use the money to attend A&M.
Corps Boosts
Champ Fund
Project Champ got back on the
track Monday afternoon. Head
Yell leader Mike Marlow held an
organizational meeting with out
fit commanders pledging the sup
port of their units toward the
fund set up by The Battalion to
buy basketball coach Shelby Met
calf a new car.
Companies G-l and E-2 and
Sqd. 10 have already turned in
their contributions but other than
these three units, the students
have showed very little interest.
Sqd. 10 leads with $42.32.
The slow-moving project ap
pears to have suffered from lack
or organization. It is hoped that
the renewed effort promised by
campus leaders will boost the
fund toward its desired goal.
May 15 is set as the current
deadline, coinciding with the Ag
gie All-Sports Banquet.
All contributions should be
turned in to The Battalion office
in the basement of the YMCA.
The building to be constructed
on a lot opposite the G. Rollie
White Coliseum will be taken apart
almost immediately and shipped to
San Antonio for erection in June
on the Teen Fair of Texas grounds.
The industrial arts fair is being
held at A&M for the fifth consecu
tive year.
Mayfield said 24 to 31 students
from a dozen high schools will
erect the exhibition hall here.
“That way we hope we won’t
have too much help but will have
enough to get the job done,” May-
field said.
The exhibition hall will be
erected in June at the Teen Fair of
Texas grounds in San Antonio by
a crew including Mayfeld and
Ronald Foy, industrial arts teacher
at Ballinger.

“The' Corps will grow if
people will have the right atti
tude. If everybody doesn’t put
out, we won’t have anything.”
Those were the predictions
concerning the future of A&M Uni

man chosen to head the organiza
tion next year, Neil L. Keltner.

Student Senate
Election Filing
Now Underway
Filing opened Monday for the
Student Senate elections in the
programs office of the Memorial
Student Center.
Wayne Smith, election commis
sion advisor, said these elections
are “The most confusing of them
all.” He said that filing is gen
erally the most confusing part of
the whole procedure.
Smith added that people usually
don’t know how to file and that
it was hard to explain just what
they were running for.
There will be 12 Student Senate
and 15 election commission posi
tions open for the May 15 elec
tions.
The Student Senate positions
open are the representatives from
the Colleges of Arts and Sciences,
Agriculture, Engineering and Vet
erinary Medicine. Each college
sends a sophomore, a junior and. a
senior representative.
For the election commission there
will be five positions from each
of the three upper classes.
The dean of the graduate school
will appoint the graduate student
representative to the Student
Senate.
Smith said that in the past this
election has received the least
amount of voter interest of any
of the school elections, but added,
“I’m sure there will be a better
turnout this year because of the
increased civilian activity.”
Smith said the voting machines
will be marked by colleges, and
that each voter will vote for only
the representative from his school
in his class.
Lansing, Mich, majoring in in
dustrial distribution, continued,
“If we can get the co-operation
from the men who will be in
command positions next year, we
will grow.”
Chosen as Deputy Corps Com
mander was H. Hale Burr from
Vidor. The number two man is
an Air Force cadet majoring in
economics.
Keltner and Burr noted, “The
Corps has come through an awful
lot this year. I think we’ve shown
everyone that we can come out
on top.”
Named to head the First Brigade
was Jerome Rektorik, an econo
mics student from Corpus Christi.
Rob Nalley from Dallas was
selected commander of the Second
Brigade. He is studying civil en
gineering.
Next year’s Third Brigade com
mander will be Jim Bourgeois from
New Braunfels, a finance student.
David Franklin from Houston
will head the First Wing, while
Tommy Harrison from Baytown
will have command of the Second
Wing. Both are business adminis
tration students.
The new commanders will not
officially assume their positions
until Final Review on May 23,
but as Keltner put it, “There is a
lot to be done before then.”
This year’s Colonel of the Corps,
Paul A. Dresser Jr., said of the
selectees, “I think all the boys
will do a real fine job next year.”
Dresser’s recommendations for
the two top positions were sent
to the Trigon, after which Keltner
and Burr were interviewed by the
Corps Commandant, Col. Denzil L.
Baker, Dean of students James P.
Hannigan and President Earl Rud
der.
