Just to show there are no hard feelings between the Corps unit and the civilians thrown
together in an odd arrangement by living in the same dormitory, the non-regs spread a
little Christmas cheer. A solid handshake by Ira Abbott, scholastic officer of A-8, and
sophomore Gale Hubbard seal their relationship—or is it because they won’t be seeing
each other for two weeks?
Future Teachers To Obtain
Experience In Bryan Schools
A pilot program by the Texas
A&M Chapter of the Texas Stu
dent Education Association i s
helping students decide if they
want to teach.
Chapter officials hope to ex
pand the teacher’s aide program
from five students during the fall
term to 50 this spring, announced
publicity chairman Milton J. Rei-
chek of Houston.
Reichek said education students
need classroom experience in ad
dition to student teaching to help
prepare for professional careers.
“Prospective teachers need an
opportunity to view the educa
tional field from the inside in
order to establish a definite in
terest,” Reichek commented. “This
program is an attempt to satisfy
this need.”
He explained that education stu
dents spend three hours a week
assisting public school teachers
in the Bryan school system. Their
contributions are varied, he said,
ranging from supervising child
ren in recess activities to grading
papers or drilling small groups
in academic exercises.
Reichek said A&M’s 50-member
chapter hopes to be able to assign
three student aides to each school
in the Bryan - College Station
community next spring.
A&M students interested in the
aide program may contact chap
ter president Don A. Houston of
Dallas or advisor Dr. C. J. Salek,
supervisor of student teaching for
A&M’s Education Department.
Reichek announced a chapter
meeting for 7:30 p.m., Jan. 9 in
rooms 2C and 2D of A&M’s Me
morial Student Center.
