5 Couples Studying Here
Before Going Overseas
“Almost like being in the first
grade,” the scholarly scientist
said ruefully.
"Only you can’t run home to
mother now,” another said.
These comments came as a
group of educated, professionally
skilled people commenced special
language studies at Texas A&M
University. The five couples now
in the first week of training will
be at overseas posts in the Do
minican Republic, East Pakistan
and Tunisia early in 1966.
Now they are in the first days
of orientation including the in
tensive language studies. Upon
completing this phase, they will
go into overseas programs oper
ated under contract by Texias
A&M as part of this nation’s
program of assisting developing
nations.
Two of the couples are studying
French for assignment to Tunisia.
A&M is helping there to establish
an agricultural school.
Two other couples study
Spanish. They will fill posts with
an educational program in the
Dominican Republic.
The fifth couple will go to a
university in East Pakistan, so
they are studying Bengali.
“This is the first time we have
had students beginning in all
three languages at the same
time,” Dr. Jack A. Dabbs said.
He heads the A&M Department
of Modern Languages and also
supervises the language part of
the orientation.
E. Paul Creech, veteran of an
East Pakistan assignment, directs
the orientation. He is assistant
director for Dr. Jack D. Gray of
the A&M International Programs
Office.
The five men just beginning
orientation for overseas service
come from several states. They
have been serving in state agri
cultural extension services, on
university faculties and in in
dustry.
Creech said the “students” now
are attending seminars in addi
tion to language studies. He
teaches a seminar concerning
methods of planned technological
change. Professors Dan R. Davis
and I. O. Linger of the A&M
faculty teach, respectively, semi
nars in cultural adjustment and
the economics of developing na
tions.
“We use native speakers of the
language, tapes and written ma
terials in helping the student
learn Bengali, French or Spanish,”
Dr. Dabbs said. He has consider
able experience himself in each
language.
A strong correlation between
doctoral programs and library
resources is shown in a newly-
released national survey. Texas
A&M as a member of the As
sociation of Research Libraries
received the findings and is in
cluded in the tabulation by Rob
ert B. Downs, dean of library
administration, University of
Illinois.
“An institution outstanding for
its graduate offerings is almost
invariably equally notable for
the strength of its library re
sources,” Dean Downs reported.
Each of 186 universities, col
leges and other institutions con
ferring five or more doctoral de
grees during 1953-62 was sur
veyed. Library holdings as of
1962 and expenditures for books
were tabulated.
The study showed A&M con
ferred 352 doctorates. A total
of 226 were in the biological
sciences and 113 were in the
physical sciences. The social
sciences accounted for the bal
ance.
Volumes in the A&M library
system totaled 434,117. Book
expenditures for 1962 were
$134,915. Library holdings have
since reached approximately
500,000 and beginning September
1, 1965, the book budget will have
nearly doubled the 1962 figure,
increasing to $265,585, while the
total library budget for 1965-
66 will be $652,582.
In his study, Dean Downs
noted that of the 36 institutions
granting between 300 and 700
degrees each, 18 held library
collections in excess of 500,000
volumes. Two were over one
million and three others have
gone above the one million since
1962.
“Among the 37 universities
which awarded more than 700
degrees each during the decade,”
Dean Downs reported, “only ten
held less than one million vol
umes, and none possessed less
than one-half million volumes;
two of the ten have gone past
the million mark since 1962.”
HOT, DRY MAMA
LOUISVILLE (AP) _ Mrs.
Dave Holston recently found a
new use for her clothes dryer.
A mother hen walked out on
five eggs in her nest, so Mrs.
Holston stuck them in the dryer.
Warmed by the pilot light, the
eggs soon changed into five baby
chicks.
Russian Scientist
To Speak Friday
A Russian scientist, Dr. Ch.
S. Kadyrov, will lecture Friday

bek SSR. He specializes in or
ganic chemistry and organic

lators” will be the topic of Dr.
Kadyrov’s 3:30 p.m. address in
Room 112-113 of the Plant Sci
ences Building.
