Kuntz is the first of the Ph.D. group to become a college presi dent, noted Dr. Paul R. Hensar- ling of the education faculty. “Elmer has a dynamic person ality, excels in enthusiasm and determination,” said Hensarling, who counseled Kuntz throughout his graduate work and chaired his doctoral program. “His initiative and determination could be mis understood as overconfidence, but there was no task, however dif ficult, Dr. Kuntz wasn’t ready to take on and do.” The traits will assist Kuntz in his new position, Hensarling con tinued. Elko Community College will “start this fall from the ground up,” the new president reported. “There are no buildings nor anything, so it will be a challenge. Kuntz will assume the position effective Aug. 1, reporting to Elko from Memphis, Tenn., where he has been director of research and development, State Technical Institute. A 1955 Midwestern University graduate, he received the master’s degree here in 1964 and completed Ph.D. requirements in August, 1968.

Matcek, one of seven 1970 Bryan High school graduates with perfect grades, has been awarded the first Col lege of Education scholarship. Dean Frank Hubert said the $300 award was made available by the Bryan and College Sta tion Chamber of Commerce for an undergraduate education stu dent who plans to enter teaching. “This scholarship is a first for the college,” the dean said. “We are pleased that the person re ceiving it is a graduate of Bry an’s Stephen F. Austin High School.” The College of Education was organized in 1969. Miss Matcek, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Matcek, 601 North Ave., was selected for the award by the College of Education fac ulty scholarship committee. She was active in student af fairs while recording top marks at Stephen F. Austin High. Miss Matcek was president of the Lass-O’s, pep squad; member of the Student Council and National Honor Society secretary. Her father works in the Redmond Terrace post office in College Station. She is one of four chil dren in the family. Morgan authors leading article Dr. David T. Morgan of the History Department has authored the lead article in the July issue of The North Carolina Historical Review. Entitled “Scandal in Carolina: The Story of a Capricious Mis sionary,” the article is about the Rev. Michael Smith. The assistant professor con tends Rev. Smith “is probably un surpassed in the annals of mis sionaries gone astray.” He “un doubtedly damaged the reputation of the Anglican Church among Carolina colonists” in the mid- 18th Century, Dr. Morgan noted. The specialist in American col onial history will be on a leave- of-absence next year to teach at Rhode Island College, Providence. Dr. Morgan holds the Ph.D. degree from the University of North Carolina. He is considered an authority on early church his tory in the South.

EDITOR FRANK GRIFFIS Assistant Editor Pat Little I Pat Little | Positive and, in some cases, ef fective action by the public and major industries resulted in the Symposium for Environmental Awareness held across the nation April 22. Before the symposium, one of the questions I heard most often was if there would be any action taken after the symposium or would it end that afternoon. By no means has it ended and it has gone farther than most people expected. These continuing efforts in clude advertisements by major industries about their efforts to stop pollution and a saturation of television commercials about the predicament of animals and man on this planet. Car manufacturers are putting out booklets featuring their re search into eliminating exhaust pollutants and major gasoline companies are advertizing their research in making fuel which will be “virtually pollution free.” Add to this a beer advertise ment which suggests one take their product on outings, but bring the container home instead of leaving it. The list could go on and on about what industry is doing. I think it can be said that the symposium was a success in that it is forcing industry to do some thing about their pollutants and their claims will certainly be watched. Also, there are efforts hope fully going on among individuals to stop throwing trash on the streets and highways. I, for one, find myself stuffing gum wrap pers in my pockets and littering the inside of my car instead of throwing trash out of the win dow. I’v also noticed that the ma jority of the highways are look ing better, except for one place, the litter barrels along the high ways. During July 4th and almost any other weekend, these barrels are overflowing and in one place I actually saw three cars lined up waiting to empty their litter bags. There is still a lot to be done and a long way to go before this run-away pollution is top ped. For instance, if one ever goes swimming in the Gulf of Mexico, he often finds tar smeared on his feet or legs when he comes out of the water. Perhaps there will be kerosene showers for people to wash off the tar when they are leaving the beach. Or, more realistically, there won’t be any clean beaches. I don’t know where the tar came from, whether it was from oil rigs or from ships, but let’s hope it doesn’t get worse. Prog ress is great, but the loss of our beaches is a high price to pay. The brakes are being applied on pollution, but we are still speeding downhill, while no one gives a thought toward control ling pollution. The U.S. Congress has passed laws concerning pol lution by industries and compa nies fining them heavily if they do not stop emitting pollutants. Yet, new efforts are being made to save our environment. Recently I heard that a small county in Maryland passed a law prohibiting the use of canned drinks and non-returnable bot tles. More and more enforcement is needed with even stricter punish ment or else this planet is going to turn into the garbage dump of solar system.
