Lyndon Limerick and Psychology 207 class give them a try. Thirty-six A&M students are participating in a preview of the future and enjoy the experience. They are using “teaching ma chines” for a portion of their studies in General Psychology 207, an introductory course designed especially for science majors. A National Science Foundation grant, plus matching funds from the Uni versity made possible purchase by the Department of Education and Psychology of the machines and instructional materials. The cost is about $40 a student. Teaching the course is Dr. Al bert Casey who has no fears of teaching machines ever replacing a professor. “The machines free the teacher from repetitious and time-consum ing drilling chores, so he can en gage in higher level professional tasks,” Casey said. He views the devices simply as an important adjunct to better teaching. Casey lectured to the class in the conventional manner for some time before each student was is sued a machine and instructional unit. And he plans to resume lec turing shortly after .the holidays. Teaching machines are now new, Casey observed, and pointed out that such devices were suggested in the Nineteenth Century and two models were demonstrated in the 1920s. But only recently has this form of instruction attracted con siderable interest. Each student’s machine resem bles the devices on which sales clerks write out charge tickets. Knobs allow the student to run the instructional material through the machine at his own speed, one of several advantages of the pro cedure. Answers must be written to the frequent questions. “You certainly learn from this type of device,” sophomore Lyn don D. Limerick of Houston, said. “I’ve noticed it gives you a ques tion and then a hint to the answer. The questions seem easy but the knowledge mounts up.” The students use the simplest models of teaching machines. Ad vanced models are linked with electronic computers to allow ex tra materials as needed by the individual student, providing “two- way communication.” BATTALION CLASSIFIED WANT AD RATES l ree 1 & I On* d«y 44 per word per word e*ch additional day Minimnm charge—50d DEADLINE iblication 4 p.m. day before public* Claaaified Diaplay 904 Per column incl each inaertion 1 FOR RENT Three bedroom house on wooded lot near Crockett school.

Main TA 2-6000 Grad Wins Flying Cross Capt. Jay B. Bisbey, ’59 grad uate of A&M, won the Distin guished Flying Cross in Viet Nam recently for saving the life of his observer on his aircraft when it was hit by enemy fire. Later, Bisbey won the Air Medal with a “V” for valor and seven Oak Leaf Clusters when he continued to strike against enemy positions although his aircraft was severely damaged. Bisbey rose to the rank of Cadet Colonel of Second Brigade Staff while at A&M and was graduated with a degree in mechanical engineering. Bisbey, recounting the events on July, 1963, that won him the DFC, said, “I was flying a Mo hawk airplane as a wing man in a two-plane flight out on a nor mal area reconnaissance. With me was a Vietnamese observer. We were sailing along at treetop level when a Viet Cong force spotted up and opened fire. “Suddenly the observer screamed in agony and a split second later I felt a burning pain in my right shoulder and in my neck and face. Checking the plane, I found that we were still airworthy. Then I turned my attentions to the in jured observer. A bullet had shot through the cockpit, passing through his forearm and face before hitting me. “He was bleeding freely and in a panic stricken state of shock. (The observer was attempting to eject himself from the tircraft.) “First I made sure that he couldn’t shoot himself from the plane and then I made a tourni quet from one of my leg straps in an attempt to stop the flow of blood. His thrashing against the controls and extreme loss of blood were my only problem on the return trip.” After hospitalization for two months, the observer was back on the job. Describing the mission that earned him the Air Medal with “V” (valor) Device, Bisbey said, “We were on a routine flight when a Viet Cong machinegun tore into the plane. I took the offensive with rocket fire and scored several hits on enemy posi tions. Turning homeward I found that the plane’s hydraulic sys tem had been knocked out.” The machinegun fire had dam aged the flaps, speed brakes and the steering controls. Bisbey found that he could not lower all of his landing gear; only two wheels came down-the third was jammed. “Attempting to jar it loose, I tried several high speed dives to no avail. Rocking the wings back and forth didn’t help either. Finally, in desperation, I flew to the runway, slammed the plane down hard on its two extended wheel-it didn’t work. Ground control finally ordered the captain to abandon ship. “Climbing to 5,000 feet and pointing the plane oceanward, I instructed the observer to punch- out (eject) and I followed. Con trary to our plans, the plane did a couple of loop-the-loops and crashed on the airfield. I land ed about a mile away.” m PROTECT YOUR AGGIELAND!
