Major D. A. 'Andy” Anderson has announced that the City Council of College Station is considering renaming some of the major streets and highways that run through the city. One of those being considered for a new name is High way 6. For years one of the first things that a new Aggie learned soon after arriving on the campus is that Highway 6 runs both ways. If he has a gripe or is otherwise unhappy with his state at A&M, he is told by some considerate fellow-Aggie thaat the same road that brings him into College Station— and A&M—can take him out just as easily. Somehow it just doesn’t seem right to rename a famous highway so rich in tradition. Imagine the reaction you will receive next year if you tell a disgruntled student: "Periwinkle Lane runs both ways.” Christensen Gets Educational Grant Dr. Virg-il E. Christenseni of Texas A&M. Liberal Arts College has been selected for a U. S. Office of Education post-doctoral fellowship, announced Dean Frank Hubert. The fellowship awarded on the basis of a nationwide competi tion will enable Christensen to engage in an educational research priorities at USOE in Washing ton, D.C., next spring. Christensen is research coor dinator in the College of Liberal Arts, an education professor and research director in the Education Department. He joined the faculty last September. “As a USOE fellow, Dr. Christ ensen will enhance his profession al skills in a year of intensive training in educational research at various colleges and univer sities,” Hubert said. “Part of the training will be research of im portant issues in education such as teaching minority group child ren, computer-assisted instruction, testing and evaluation and adult learning.” Christensen is one of 20 fellows selected from 121 candidates by eminent research scholars and the Office of Education staff. They were chosen on the basis of dem onstrated research capability and development potential. Training stipends comparable to their present salaries will be funded through Title IV of the Elementary and Secondary Edu cation Act of 1965. Christensen held positions sim ilar to his A&M appointment at Ohio State and Cornell. He re ceived the Ph.D. at the Univer sity of Wisconsin in 1964, the master’s at the University of Minnesota and bachelor at South Dakota State. The professor, 42, was a re search consultant to the Office of Education and has numerous publications in teaching strategy, research evaluation and teacher education.

The conferences, he explained, are designed to bridge the gap between high school and college by acquainting the new students with programs and facilities at Texas A&M. “We want the new student to feel he is known and knows others when he returns in the fall,” Kerley said. “The program has had great success in past years.” Students will take placement tests, plan courses, receive dormi tory assignments and choose be tween the Army and Air Force ROTC programs, if they plan to be in the Corps of Cadets. The students participating in the conferences will be the firsts be enrolled with A&M’s new 8% mated system, Kerley noted, [| the technique checks out tliij summer, it will be used for a |] students, beginning at mid-terj, A computer will “build” a schedule for each student on t|| ( basis of data compiled during^ conferences and then figure a|| the financial considerations-rooj and board, tuition, lab fees atj such variables as credit for scho|, arships.
