Pace 2 THE BATTALION Collece Station, Texas Thursday, September 7, 1967 . f . CADET SLOUCH Bonnie Jo Who? The nevs that Bonnie Jo Bilyeu, former manacins edi tor of San Dngo State College’s newspaper, was sentenced to six years in federal prison for smuggling marijuana came as no surpriae. The 21-year-old girl pleaded guilty. She was arrested in January at the Mexican border, trying to bring 44 pounds of marijuana into the United States. Miss Bilyeu was sentenced by U. S. J>istrict Judge James Carter despite a parole board's recommendation for parole. What suprises us is the reason Carter gave for handing out such a heavy sentence. The judge said her case and sentence might deter other college studenU from using marjuana. This type of justice and using someone as an example for others went out with Judge Roy Bean and his “Law West of the Pecos.” We’d be willing to bet college students using marijuana won’t be affected by Miss Bilyeu’s sentence at all. They probably never .heard of her*. 'A / by jim Earle Graves Publishes Research On Texas Elementary Schools Prof Ends Study Of USOE Aims ftlCcT r A year of observation in the U. S. Office of Education has convinced a Texas A&M profes sor the federal government is not trying to control education. “It was evidenced over and over," declared Dr. Roger L. Har rell, Education and Psychology Department professor who was in Washington. D.C.. on a work- study program supported by the National Institute of Public Af fairs. lie? His bpinion contradicts a gen eral feeling among educators that federal support to education is designed to enable the U. S. government to take over educa tional reins. ‘The states are too powerful for one thing," Harrell said. "IfSOE has no desire in this di rection. Its programs are struc tured along Congressional lines to help states focus on situations tkat need attention." HE SAID national priorities are aimed at helping solve big city problems and introducing in novations in rural areas, at in dividual school district request. Dr. Harrell was one of .14 se lected educators for the year long USOE assignment. Work- study requirements included seminars by such speakers as (Whizseri White; Dr. Douglas Cater, presidential assistant for educational affairs, and the heads of the Atomic Energy Commission, National Science Foundation, civil service and oth er governmental agencies. "They described their opera tions and how they relate to the total education program," Har rell said. EACH OF THE 34 national scholars worked in various USOE sections. Harrell served in a leadership - lecturer capacity in the Division of Plans and Sup plementary Centers, Bureau of Elementary and Secondary Edu cation, and as special consultant to the chief. Innovative Centers Branch. The Title HI specialist indicat ed Texas is one of three leading , states pioneering in development of regional service centers. “TEXAS' organization and 20 statute-supported media centers exemplify the state level of plan ning intended by the Congres sional act," he said. ^ . The Eastern New Mexico and yniversity of New Mexico grad uate said Title Ill’s aim is to seek, develop and evaluate “way- out. high risk innovative educa tion ideas.” "Some programs are expected to fail because they are way out and include an element of doubt," Harrell went on. "But if it works, our youth will benefit." "Remember that ‘next year we used to talk about?" CE Profs Herbich, Lowery Attend San Francisco Meet Two Civil Engineering Depart ment faculty, members gt Texas AAM are attending a specialty conference, “Civil Engineering in the Oceans," this week In Sen Francisco Dr. John B.

Graves of Texas AAM. The 34-page booklet covers preparatory and organisational procedures, how to involve staff, working with parents, pupil chararteriatics and reasons for the non graded system. “A nongraded school helps children who need longer to learn fundamentals. It does not penalise with the stigma of fail ure the child who starts off on unequal footing," noted Graves. Education and Psychology De partment professor. “At the same time, the teacher is given more leeway with the gifted student. His instruction may be enriched without having to cross grade line,” he contin ued.
