Gibbons Advocates ‘Mind Maturation’ By MIKE WRIGHT With “The Role and Right of Battalion City Editor the College Student” as his topic, Dr. William Gibbons, Political Gibbons said the average student Science Department head, told is more apt to try to live in the the YMCA Apollo Club Thursday modem society than to prepare evening that the maturation of for his life’s work, the mind is more important than “The role of a student in col- the maturation of the social life. le^e is to be a student. He APOLLO CLUB SPEAKER Dr. William Gibbons, Head of the Political Science Depart ment delivered the second program in this semester’s Apol lo Club series Thursday. He spoke on “The Role and Right of the College Student.” (Photo by Mike Wright) should only develop the civil at titudes as it relates to his stud ies,” commented Gibbons. “He has the rest of his life to be a citizen, but only a short time to study; however, students are not doing this,” he continued. The student also has the role of the university citizen in a uni versity community. In this com munity, he should be advocating more changes in the administra tion that will aid his university community, he said. “The right of a student to have a word in a department’s curricu lum should be delegated. With members of the faculty, and ad ministration, the student would be able to express his views on courses to be required. They should also have something to say about the grading of the faculty,” he stressed. “The present system of evalu ation is inadequate. The faculty should be graded and their pro motions and pay scale should de pend on their ranking. Each pro fessor would be graded individ ually and the results made pub lic. This has been done at other colleges and universities with very favorable results,” Gibbons declared. He added that the right for the student to demand new courses in departments and new school programs to aid the minority groups should be exercised. “The student body should also have the right to demand and request action for a co-educa- tional university,” he said. “The nature of a university administration is to be conserva tive and they will remain con servative until they are pushed. However, the student should be sure of why he is pushing before he criticizes the establishment,” Gibbons said. “The student government should be the spokesman for the student body. They will accom plish this by seizing more au thority and assuming the role of taking stands on controversial items. They need to let the stu dents know they are behind them,” he stressed.

Another big issue of the meet ing was the problem of football seating for graduate students. Senator Tony Benedetto pro posed a “consideration section” at the south end of the east upper deck for graduate students who wished to sit, pregnant wives of Aggies and injured students who could not stand for the whole game. Sophomore president Gary Mar tin agreed with Benedetto. “I think that as exciting as our games get, we shouldn’t take a chance on having the first baby bom in Kyle Field,” Mar tin said. THE MATTER was referred to a committee consisting of Phil Callahan, Head Yell Leader Bill Youngkin and a member of the Graduate Student Council. They will determine a division line in the upper deck and give sections only south of that line to the people who do not want to stand. A motion was passed allowing- President Bill Carter to decide a method of selection for the A&M entry into a national con test to decide a College Centen nial Football Sweetheart. A suggestion by one Senator to enter the name of Annella Wright, the Aggie Sweetheart, prompted a remark from Sena tor Norman Jenkins. Read Battalion Classifieds After you've met the challenge?
