Sea Grant program
gets advisory group
A Texas advisory council has
been formed to aid in the develop
ment of the state’s Sea Grant
Program.
The council was organized by
the Sea Grant Program under the
direction of John C. Calhoun, Jr.,
with the cooperation of President
Jack K. Williams.
“Texas A&M University has
committed its resources to the
goal of becoming a Sea Grant
college,” Dr. Williams said in a
review of the institution’s Sea
Grant and marine resources pro
gram.
An organizational meeting of
the Texas Advisory Council is
set for May 6 in the university
library.
Praise of personnel and pro
grams by the president of the
university’s board of directors
was mixed with guarded optimism
regarding state appropriations.
Clyde H. Wells of Granbury
and Dallas, named earlier this
year to a second term as president
of the governing body, was fea
tured speaker Monday at the in
stitution’s annual board of direc-
tors-faculty-staff dinner.
Wells noted that higher edu
cation is no longer the number-
one priority of the Texas Legis
lature, as underscored by alloca
tion of funds in the appropriation
bills passed by the two Houses.
The lesser of the proposed ap
propriations eliminates funds for
organized research for all state-
s u p p o r t ed institutions, Wells
noted, pointing out this would be
a loss of more than $2 million.
He also empasized the same bill
includes no funds for salary in
is a feeling among many citizens
that tuition should be increased.
If a tuition bill is passed, he said,
the funds might be added to ap
propriations for higher education.
We may be the victim of a poor
image of colleges and universities,
and of a poor image of college
teachers and of a poor image of
college students,” Wells pointed
out. “What a shame that we would
have to bear this burden.”
“Our good image helps to over
come this in many respects,” he
stressed, “and yet when the bell
tolls, it tolls for all of us.”
“I believe, however, that when
the final appropriation bill is
written, the Legislature will do
what is proper and fitting by us
and we will not suffer for the sins
of others,” the board president
added.
“In all of my years of close as
sociation with this school,” Wells
said, “I don’t believe that I havs
ever sensed such a feeling of
unity and optimism as I do now."
He noted, however, that while
the institution has done well in
the past, it must do even better
in the future.
“As a land-grant university,"
he said, “we must seek to sene
the needs of the state’s popula-
tion as thoroughly as possible,"
Wells expressed confidence that
the years immediately ahead will
be marked by “prudent change,
rapid but reasonable growth and
superior accomplishment.”
“We have faith,” he concluded,
“that a fine faculty and staff,
good facilities and a great presi
dent is an unbeatable combination
in higher education.”
“Nevertheless, we are optimis
tic,” Wells observed. “The Ameri
can political system is complex.
The legislative processes bring
into focus the myriad of public
views. These bills are doing this.”
He noted, for example, there
