Dr. E. L. Kuntz
to head college
A recent graduate of the doc
toral program in education, Elm
er L. Kuntz of Cyril, Okla., has
been named president of the new
Elko Community College in Elko,
•jNev.
Announcement of the 1968
graduate’s appointment was made
by Dr. Charles Donnelly, direc
tor of the community college di
vision, University of Nevada sys-
%*»»wElko is the first state-sup-
plfctSftg^&Qjmmunity college in Ne-
Dr. Kuntz, 37, was among the
first recipients of the Ph.D. in
education from Texas A&M and
was honored at the recent “First
Fifty” banquet - organizational
meeting.
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. He taught in Munday and
Breckenridge schools, was assist
ant to the Graduate College dean
at A&M and, for two years be
fore receiving the Ph.D. was di
rector of research and develop
ment and admissions and coun
seling supervisor at James Con-
nally Technical Institute.
His wife, the former Freda M.
Petty of Cement, Okla., also work
ed in Waco, teaching in the Con-
nally School District. They have
two children.

1st scholarship
from college
Miss Sharon K. 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.
Exchange Store
The Exchange Store will be
closed Saturday through Tuesday,
July 25-28, for annual inventory,
assistant manager R. B. Barham
announced.
The campus book and supply
store will resume regular hours
Wednesday, July 29.
