U. S. Air Force financial as
sistance to students totals almost
half a million dollars for the
1970-71 school year.
Col. Keith C. Hanna revealed
the figure in an inventory of
scholarships and fellowships for
the Faculty Scholarships Com
mittee.
The professor of aerospace
studies indicated 328 students re
ceive assistance totalling $479,-
800 through Air Force financial
assistance grants and subsistence
allowance.
“The Air Force plays quite an
active role in providing financial
assistance to A&M students, both
in number of grants and mone
tary value,” Colonel Hanna said.
“Even so, there are still even
more opportunities available to
qualified applicants, to include a
certain amount of graduate edu
cation.”
He said that scholarship-type
assistance and commissions are
available even to graduate stu
dents, provided applicants have
at least two years academic work
remaining at time of entry into
the two-year AFROTC program,
A&M has 219 students receiv
ing subsistence allowance, which
amounts to $600 per year for the
two-year Professional Officer
Course (the last two years of the
four-year program). Under the
two-year program, similar sub
sistence is paid after the student
has qualified for the program.
Air Force scholarships, total
ling $1,004 per year for from one
to four years, are held by 109
cadets who will be commissioned
Air Force second lieutenants up
on graduation.
Air Force scholarship cadets
are enrolled in eight colleges,
Sixty-two are in engineering; 13
each in business administration
and science; seven each in agri
culture and liberal arts; four,
geosciences; two, architecture
and environmental design, and
one, education.

A&M wins praise of Former Students
of doctoral grads
A&M has earned high marks
from its doctoral degree recipi
ents responding to a request to
rate the institution’s highest level
graduate programs.
The project was initiated as
part of a Ph.D. dissertation re
quirement undertaken by Curtis
E. Schatte, assistant professor of
English, in cooperation with the
Graduate College.
Schatte said responses were re
ceived from 573 of 833 A&M
doctoral degree recipients mailed
15-page questionnaires.
The questionnaires were sent to
persons earning their doctorates
between 1940, when the first such
degree was conferred, and 1968.

The degree total has since risen
to 1,505.
More than 90 percent of the
doctoral graduates said that if
they had it to do over, they would
again earn the doctorate. Ap
proximately 70 percent said they
would study in the same or a
closely related discipline.
Majority of the responders —
many of whom earned their un
dergraduate and master’s degrees
at other institutions — stated
they would again seek their doc
torates at A&M.
Results of the study have been
published in booklet form by the
Graduate College and are being
distributed to various interested
groups on and off campus.
Officials of the Coordinating
Board, Texas College and Uni
versity System, have requested
copies to send as examples to
all institutions of higher learning
in the state, as well as to co
ordinating agencies throughout
the nation.
Copies of the booklet also have
been furnished by the university
to institutions belonging to the
Council of Graduate Schools of
the United States, said Dr.
George W. Kunze, graduate
dean.
In addition to learning the
views of the school’s doctoral de
gree recipients, Dean Kunze not
ed the study also has provided a
wealth of information about the
individuals. Such information in
cludes types of positions cur
rently held, rate of advancement
and salaries.
A&M, which has the state’s
highest ratio of graduate stu
dents in proportion to total stu
dent body, now offers Ph.D. de
grees in more than 60 different
fields, the dean said.
