Pag-e 4 THE BATTALION College Station, Texas Thursday, May 22, 1969 Facu Ity-StaffUn ity Urged By Rudder “The goals of the faculty and the administration must be the same to accomplish the common purpose of educating to the best of our ability those who have been entrusted to us,” A&M President Earl Rudder declared Tuesday. Rudder made the observation at the university’s annual Faculty Recognition and Awards Program, where 14 faculty-staff members were cited for outstanding achievements and eight retiring professors honored. “We need to stop for a moment and decide what to do in order to accomplish our task at hand—the task being to make Texas A&M University a better place to edu cate the youth entrusted to us,” Rudder stressed. “Give us a faculty that will con tinue the educational process and carry on . . . even though trouble some times might occur,” the A&M president asked. Citing a Harvard professor’s account of the recent disorder at the Eastern institution, Rudder expressed gratitude that A&M has not been placed in the same situ ation. “But, should we ever be,” he continued, “I pray that the sta bility of our faculty and staff will meet the challenge with restraint and logical thinking.” Rudder noted that on every campus in the nation there are those members of the faculty who always seem to be against the administration. “Why,” the A&M president questioned, “should the aims and goals of the faculty be different from the goals of the administra tion?” He reminded the audience that the goals must be the same to accomplish the common pur pose of educating the institution’s students. “Give us a faculty that will pro duce for this desired purpose,” Rudder added, “putting aside their personal whims or petty jeal ousies.” He related the observations of the president of a large midwest- ern manufacturing firm following a recent visit to A&M. The execu tive noted the “wonderful hospi tality . . . inspiring group of strong teachers . . . clean and sharp students . . . the staff is brilliant and they are workers . . . a stimulating experience.” “Give us a faculty that will con tinue to be hospitable, competent, inspiring clean and sharp, stimu lating, friendly, refreshing and— most of all—great teachers,” Rudder implored. He agreed that Texas A&M is not without its problems. “But this, in a way ,is good,” the president said .“Problems tend to keep us alert and prepared.” Rudder turned to the question of teaching and research. “Many say that outstanding teaching is not being done across the nation’s campuses because of too much research,” he said. “This is not true. There is no inverse correlation between teaching and research.” Rudder observed that in most instances the outstanding teachers are also the best researchers. He said the emphasis on teaching at A&M is well evidenced by the fact that 10 of the 14 awards presented at the Tuesday program recog nized teaching achievements. 12 Faculty, 2 Staff Members Cited For Outstanding Service Texas A&M cited 14 faculty- staff members for distinguished service and honored eight retiring professors at its annual faculty Recognition and Awards Program ue sJ§y- The. i Association... of Former /fetudenti presented $1,660 awards to li members of the university’s faculty and staff and the Stand ard Oil (Indiana) Foundation made three similar presentations.
