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.

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.
