Eleven scholarship awards are
available to students of Czechos
lovakian at Texas A&M, an
nounced Dr. Jack A. Dabbs, head
of the Department of Modern
Languages.
Dr. Dabbs said Texas A&M is
one of only six U. S. colleges and
universities having undergrad
uate course work and substantial
enrollment in the Czech language.
The awards are being provided
by several fraternal and religious
“After growing wildly for
many years, computers have now
reached their infancy,” Dr. John
R. Pierce of Bell Telephone Lab
oratories declared here recently.
Speaking at a Texas A&M Uni
versity conference designed to
provide guidelines for the role of
computers in the state’s higher
education program, Dr. Pierce
called for close cooperation be
tween the institutions which now
have substantial computer re
sources and those which do not.
He said Texas A&M could serve
as a focal point for many of the
other institutions which are, or
will be, initiating their own com
puter programs. In addition to
A&M providing assistance in set
ting up these programs, the uni
versity’s computer facilities could
be linked to those on other cam
puses.
Dr. Pierce, who heads research
for Bell Telephone Laboratories’
communications sciences division
at Murray Hill, N. J., recently
served as chairman for a White
House science advisory panel
which conducted a nationwide
study of student use of computers.
He outlined for the conference
the study which revealed that
only five per cent of the nation’s
Students have access to adequate
computer service, whereas 35 per
cent of all undergraduates could
make valuable use of computers
in a substantial part of their
studies. The remaining 65 per
cent could make some use of the
machines, according to the report.
The panel, which also included
Texas A&M’s Data Processing
Center director, Robert L. Smith,
proposed a $400 million annual
program for the early 1970’s to
close the “computer gap” in high
er education.
Dr. Pierce told 100 officials
from junior and senior colleges
throughout the state that com
puters will have just as big an
impact on our way of life as the
automobile.
It is therefore essential, he
noted, that young people be ex
posed to computers as part of
their education.
“No matter where they go to
work, the computer will have an
impact on them,” he stated.
Dr. Pierce emphasized an ap
proach of using the computer as
a tool rather than stressing the
technical aspects involved in com
puter science.
During a tour of A&M’s Data
Processing Center, Dr. Pierce
described the facility as “one of
the most thriving and prosperous”
in the nation.
A close look at the goals and
nature of each individual college
is essential before determining
what role computers will have on
campus,” Dr. John C. Calhoun,
Texas A&M vice president for
programs, noted at the confer-
Special Course Scheduled
For Graphics In Summer
ence’s banquet.
Colleges and universities are
complex institutions with a va
riety of goals, Dr. Calhoun ob
served.
“We can’t really answer the
question of what we are going to
do with computers until we ask
what the university is all about,”
he remarked.
He observed, however, that the
computer can help determine
some basic answers about the in
stitution by serving as the tool
through which officials can keep
track of information and subject
it to analysis.
Dr. Calhoun said Texas A&M
is anxious that its computer cap
abilities and knowledge in this
area be a focal point for assist
ance to other institutions in the
state.
Other conference speakers in
cluded Ray Fowler of Austin, as
sistant commissioner of fiscal af
fairs for the Texas College and
University Coordinating Board,
and Dr. Ruth M. Davis of Wash
ington, associate director for re
search and development at the
National Library of Medicine.
Also Dr. William Atchison, di
rector of the University of Mary
land’s computer center; Dr.
Charles Pipnell, associate dean
of the A&M Graduate College,
and Dr. David Young, director of
the University of Texas’ Com
putation Center.
Smith is chairman for the con
ference and chief investigator for
the Texas College and University
Coordinating Board’s study of
computer usage.
A 12-week special course in
structural detailing begins June
5 in Texas A&M’s Engineering
Graphics Department.
Assistant professor North Bar-
dell estimated 25 to 30 high
school graduates will enroll for
the course supported by A&M’s
Engineering Extension Service.
“The course is open to men
and women who have had at
least one mechanical drawing
course in high school,” Bardell
noted. “They also need some
aptitude in drawing.”
Bardell and instructor N. P.
Guerard will teach classes six
hours daily. Subjects include
shop mathematics, slide rule,
basic drawing, descriptive geom
etry, structural steel and rein
forced concrete detailing.
Deadline for filing applications
for the school is June 1. Bardell
said the course is primarily for
persons seeking immediate em
ployment in industry.

Dr. Dabbs pointed out that one

are the Slavonic Benevolent Order
