TRANSMISSIONS REPAIRED & EXCHANGED Completely Guaranteed Lowest Prices HAMILL’S TRANSMISSION 33rd. & Texas Ave. Bryan 822-6874 Dr. Harold L. Hawkins of the Educational Administration De partment will become department head Feb. 1, Education Dean Frank Hubert announced. Dr. Hawkins will replace Dr. L. S. Richardson, who has requested return to fulltime teaching activi ties. Hawkins, 49, is an associate professor. He joined the A&M education faculty in 1967 after serving 11 years as public school superintendent in Olean, N. Y., Michigan and Spain, in an Air Force dependents’ school. “Dr. Hawkins has an outstand ing service record in public school administration,” Hubert said. “Dr. Richardson provided out standing leadership to the de partment during its formative year and now wishes to return to teaching and research in the de partment.” Educational administration is one of six departments in the College of Education at Texas A&M. They were formed in 1969 for separate college operation during the 1969-70 school year. Hawkins has planned and exe cuted programs for Texas school business officials and overseas schools administration during his three years at A&M. He coordi nated school board workshops and the annual June administra tors conference. A&M graduate programs earn 11 academic ratings A&M earned ratings in 11 aca demic fields in the American Council on Education’s new sur vey of graduate education, Dr. Jack K. Williams, university president, has announced. The university was cited for its graduate programs in botany, chemical engineering, chemistry, civil engineering, developmental biology, economics, entomology, geology, mechanical engineering, population biology and zoology. Dr. Williams said A&M would have undoubtedly made an even stronger showing if the ACE study had included such fields as oceanography, meteorology, arch itecture, agriculture, veterinary medicine and more engineering disciplines. He said the survey failed to cover approximately 75 percent of Texas A&M’s graduate pro grams. The 1969 study, published in a booklet entitled “A Rating of Graduate Programs,” primarily dealt with the liberal arts and science. Only four areas of engi neering were included in the sur vey. The study also omitted cur ricula in professional schools. Ratings were limited to gradu ate programs which received at least “adequate plus” scores. The scores were based on “quality of graduate faculty” and “effective ness of doctoral program.” Texas A&M Graduate Dean George W. Kunze pointed out sev en of the university’s 11 rated programs advanced in their re spective categories since the last ACE survey in 1964. Sail powered “sand buggy” breezes its way to 25 mph Surf and sand enthusiasts gained a new means of beach movement last summer when an A&M student designed and built a motorless “sand buggy.” Charles R. Nelms of Teaneck, N. J., made the wind move his wheels by mounting the mast sail and rigging from a “Sunfish” sailboat on a four-wheel buggy constructed of lumber. “The buggy traveled at speeds up to 25 mph with no more than an average breeze,” commented the senior aerospace engineering major. “It worked best on wet sand near the water line.” He detailed the sand buggy in an aero engineering course report for Dr. Charles A. Rodenberger. Nelms’ paper also reviewed future trends in ground transportation. “As a recreational vehicle, the sand buggy might have a lot of potential if it were developed,” Rodenberger said. With the current interest in beach sports such as water ski ing, surfing, sailing, boating and dune buggy running, Nelms feels the idea would be an “instant sell er to anyone interested in sail ing.” He used the sand buggy at Freeport last summer and sold it before returning to Texas A&M for his final semester of study. Materials used in the construction included 27 feet of two-by-four lumber, a six-foot four-by four, a sheet of quarter-inch plywood and four 26-inch bicycle wheels, State college board approves tuition grants to private schools in addition to the mast, sail and riERin8 :j,& AUSTIN UP) _ Private uni versities won an important ally Monday in their effort to get state help in the increasingly brutal competition with state schools. The State College Coordinating Board approved a statement sup porting state grants to needy students to pay for tuition in private schools. Baylor President Abner McCall hailed the vote although his school and other Baptist insti tutions are forbidden to accept such aid. McCall said the proposal has “at least a 50-50 chance” of win ning legislative approval. McCall has asked the Baptist General Convention of Texas three times to permit Baptist schools to accept governmental aid. Three times he was turned down by a 2-1 vote. He has given up that fight, he said, because trying to per suade some Baptists to bend on the old issue of seperation of church and state is like “trying to get them to change their minds on the virgin birth.” McCall regretted that the board’s committee on state aid to private schools failed to make a recommendation on the degree- purchase plan. Under that proposal, the state would give private schools $1,000 for each graduate to earn a bachelor degree, $1,500 for a master’s and $2,500 for a doctor ate. The committee said it was con tinuing its study and would make further reports at later meetings of the board. The degree-purchase plan would cost the state about $10 million a year. The plan approved by the Board for Equalization grants to needy Texas students would cost about $4 million a year. The board also approved the principle of contracting with private colleges to accept students unable to get into crowded state universities, especially in big cities. Nelms tested the sail at front and rear locations on the three- by-7%-foot sand buggy chassis. In the prototype he placed the lll^-foot mast directly over the rear axle, the four-by-four with wheels mounted at the ends. ALLEN OLDS. - CAD.
