ft Ix'ltl I THE BATTALION Page 4 College Station, Texas Wednesday, April 26, 1967 Mayeaux Attends International Meet Educational programs designed to improve opportunities of the Mexican-American in Texas were described in detail at a Texas Conference on the Mexican-Amer ican in San Antonio. More than a dozen legislative items, projects and programs were discussed by Governor John Connally, state and federal con gressmen and educators, reported Col. Gilbert E. Mayeaux, Modern Languages Department instructor at Texas A&M. Legislation, U. S. Office of Ed ucation and Texas Education Agency programs and projects and A&M’s “Programa de Edu- cacion Interamericana” were brought to the attention of 758 participants, Mayeaux said. The three-day conference heard Connally, Congressmen Henry B. Gonzales and Ralph Yarborough, Dr. Nolan Estes of the U. S. Edu cation Office, Texas Education Commissioner Dr. J. W. Edgar and educational authorities speak. “We must create a bilingual so ciety in Texas,” Governor Con nally said in stating he is com mitted to Spanish instruction in lower grades of every state public school system. He supports de velopment of Mexican-American opportunities through state legis lation which would exempt tuition and fees at state colleges and universities by families with less than $4,800 income annually. Dr. Estes, associate commis sioner for elementary and sec ondary education, spelled out sev eral federal projects for alleviat ing the Mexican-American’s edu cational lot. Repeal of state laws compelling teaching of public school classes only in English headed the list. It included crea tion of a “Mexican-American Af fairs Unit,” augmenting existing Title I programs to aid migrant children, in-service teacher train ing institutes and implementation of President Johnson’s “Follow Through” project for children helped under Operation Head Start.

Case, geology professor. Reading Course Is Scheduled For Summer Session He called on Mexican-Ameri- cans to develop “school power” by becoming active in PTA and other community groups interest ed in action. A special summer session course, elementary school reading, will be offered by Texas A&M’s Education and Psychology De partment with Dr. Betty Goody of Lamar State as visiting pro fessor. Dr. Goody, reading consultant for the Beaumont college, will be teaching the first summer session course for elementary education majors and elementary school teachers. “Mrs. Goody is an outstanding person in the course subject,” noted Dr. Paul Hensarling, de partment head. “She is returning to A&M by popular demand for the third straight summer.” The three-semester course will meet from 4 to 5:30 p.m. week days and may be taken for under graduate or graduate credit, on approval. Organization and conduct of the developmental reading pro gram in the elementary school, methods, techniques and materials are course features, Hensarling added. Experimental bilingual class rooms, accelerated junior and sen ior high Spanish classes for na tive Spanish speakers and adop tion by New York Educators of Texas bilingual education meth ods were detailed by Dr. Edgar. Connally called A&M’s “Pro grama” a worthwhile effort in understanding the cultural and historical background of Mexi- can-Americans. He also referred to the James Connally Technical Institute and Senator Yarborough extensively, quoted studies of Spanish - American occupational changes and educational improve ments desires by Dr. Robert L. Skrabanek of A&M’s Agricultural Economics and Sociology Depart ment. Engineer Director Presents Graduate Lecture Thursday Yarborough, opposed to tuition increases at state colleges and universities, has introduced legis lation to assist school districts in improving educational opportuni ties for Spanish-speaking stu dents. George W. Reid, Civil Engi neering Department director at the University of Oklahoma, will give a graduate lecture Thursday at Texas A&M. Reid’s talk, “Mathematical Models in Water Pollution Con trol,” is set for 4 p.m. in room 229 of the Chemistry Building. Dr. Wayne C. Hall, A&M’s aca demic vice president, noted that Professor Reid was an early ad vocate of the use of the mathe matical models for analysis of wa ter quality aspects of water re source management. Reid has a B.S. degree from Purdue University and the S. M. degree from Harvard University. He was a research investigator with Johns-Hopkins University in conjunction with being associate professor at Georgia Institute of Technology before joining the University of Oklahoma faculty in 1950. “The fate of this state and na tion is in the hands of people like you,” H. C. Heldenfels, president of the Texas A&M Board of Di rectors, told some 500 A&M facul ty and staff members. SPEAKING AT the universi ty’s annual board of directors- faculty-staff dinner in Sbisa Hall, Heldenfels cited Disraeli’s warn ing to the British Parliament more than a century ago that “upon the education of the peo ple of England, the fate of Eng land depends.” Drawing a parallel to that fam ous quote, the board president re marked: “I think that all of us here tonight agree that upon the education of the people of this state, the future prosperity and growth of this state depends.” Heldenfels briefly outlined the organization and operation of the university’s board of directors. He noted that board members are appointed by the governor and confirmed by the state sen ate. The appointments are for six-year terms, with three new appointments, or re - appoint ments, made every two years. “THROUGH thorough study and analysis, your board attempts to arrive at the soundest possible decisions,” Heldenfels noted. “Occasionally, decisions which we face are both complex and con troversial, thus leading to debate as to the best course of action,” he continued. “But debate itself is simply another process through which we seek the soundest pos sible decisions.” A&M President Earl Rudder presided at the dinner and pre sented a brief report on key uni versity-related legislation. He said the most important bills now before the legislature in Austin are the ones dealing with appropriations. Both the Senate Finance Committee and the House Appropriations Committee have come out with their university budget recommendations and the bills could be brought to the floor at any time. “NEITHER OF these bills con tain levels of appropriations equal to what our board of directors requested from the legislature,” Rudder noted. He stressed, how ever, that the board has worked diligently throughout this session of the legislature to obtain the highest level of appropriation possible. “Perhaps the most definite thing we can say at this time is that we view the prospects for good appropriations with guard ed optimism,” Rudder added. OTHER BILLS mentioned by the university president covered “fringe benefits” and, if passed would have the following effects: —Provide for a constitutional amendment to remove the present $8,400 ceiling on withholdings for teacher retirement. —Permit faculty members to choose between the State Teacher Retirement System and any priv ate retirement system of their choice. ALLOW FACULTY develop ment leave, commonly referred to as sabbatical leave. As the bill is now written, as much as six per cent of the faculty of an insti tution may be on development leave at one time at full sik for six months or one-half sail for 12 months leave. —Authorize the state to pi ticipate in the payment of p; miums for group insurance. —Increase mileage and diem rate for university persj nel. —Authorize free tuition full-time faculty members and: searchers and for their spot) and children. RUDDER POINTED outii legislature has already passt: bill providing for a new Tin Veterinary Medical Diagne Laboratory to be located at All He said the university has* quested approximately $500 for the construction of this fad ty and an operating budget start operations before the end the next biennium.
