The program will support a broad variety of activities for all age groups, with a full-time di rector. The grant was made by the TAMU Community Education Center, established here in 1971 under contract with the Charles S. Mott Foundation. A&M Consolidated Supt. W. Taylor Riedel accepted the "seed money" grant, to be supplement ed from local sources to acquire leadership in developing the Col lege Station community educa tion program. The TAMU center, part of the College of Education, has made three "seed" grants for such pro grams. Earlier awards were to the Alice and Midland school districts. Center director Dr. Robert I. Berridge noted that community education has thus gained a foot hold in South, West and East Central Texas, in three different size cities. College Station's pop ulation numbers 18,000; Alice 24,000 and Midland 70,000. Community education was de veloped through the Mott Founda tion to provide activities at a central site—such as an after class-hours unused school—for all age groups. Industry, business, schools, churches, civic groups and other local agencies have cooperated in similar programs. The concept takes advantage of public investment in schools. It opens classrooms, gyms and shops for crafts, vocational skill learn ing, health care training, con tinuing education or other activi ties indicated by community in terest. The A&M Consolidated, Mid land and Alice grants were drawn from part of the original Mott Foundation award to A&M’s Col lege of Education. Berridge emphasized that the grant is of "seed" nature to help Consolidated establish and sup port its own program. The pro gram will be designed by the College Station director in co operation with local groups to fit needs and interests of local citi zens. Berridge stressed the communi ty education concept is based on local effort and control and that the center does not pour funding into a community. Moderate funds are provided on a limited basis. “A program helps people most when it encourages self-help,” the TAMU center director said. "We will usually just give a community a pat on the back and wish them good luck." Thomas sees bugs, rodents as food source Strange, new foods — possibly rodents and bugs—could be in the oiling if the world expects to feed its predicted 6 billion-plus population by the year 2000. The outlook was presented here Monday by the president of New Mexico State University, Dr. Ger ald W. Thomas, lead-off speaker lor the A&M Range Science De partment’s 25th Anniversary Symposium March 20-21. Under rising pressure for new food sources, the scientific com- iiunity will re-examine potentials in wildlife and insect production on range lands, Thomas said. Cer tain vegetation types may yield more animal protein through wild life harvest. “We must study possibilities for production of rabbits and rodents as food. Also, the total insect bio mass available for harvest, even in desert ecosystems, is far great er than most of us have antici pated,” Thomas pointed out. Range scientists, he said, can help lessen future food problems by emphasizing sunlight energy in the face of the world’s rising energy source dilemma. The Unit ed States’ approach to mechaniz ed agriculture probably cannot be sustained nor should it be pro moted on a world basis. U.S. citizens are "spending” about 10,000 calories on fossil fuel (oil and its products) per per son per day to produce 3,000 cal ories of food energy from the sun, by way of plant photosynthesis, Thomas explained. The average U.S. citizen is using more than 21,000 calories of outside energy per day for all purposes—yet food needs are only about 3,000 calories. “Obviously, this drain on de- pletable resources — and the ac companying problems of pollution —cannot be continued. The solu tion to the energy problem must be developed with proper concern both for depletable resources and for capture and conservation of sunlight energy,” Thomas said. In other areas, the NMSU pres ident urged range scientists to find new techniques for range land water conservation through vegetation manipulation and bet ter mechanical and engineering systems. He described range lands as great natural buffers for pollu tants from urban and industrial areas. Another speaker, Dr. E. J. Dyk- sterhuis, Professor Emeritus of range science at A&M, said the university granted its first doc torate in this field in 1949. The 1940’s and 1950’s saw a marked increase in the number of col leges offering range degrees. To day, there are 34 schools which have undergraduate courses. A great need now and in the future, he said, is to recognize nationally that inventories of rangeland resources are as vital in shaping national destiny as are inventories for croplands and tim- berlands. "If rangelands were accorded that national status of a resource worthy of periodic inventory, it seems possible that planners, economists, educators, legislators and rangeland owners themselves might begin to view range as more worthy of management,” Dyksterhuis said. Halbouty will speak on petroleum industry Envoys of U. S., China meet again PARIS (A*) — Envoys of the United States and China held their second meeting Monday on establishing closer relations. U. S. Ambassador Arthur K. Watson sent word through a spokesman that he and Ambassa dor Huang Chen had a "fine talk.” He gave no further de tails. Huang had nothing to say for newsmen. Like the first meeting a week ago at the Chinese Embassy, this session, at the U. S. Embassy, lasted a little less than an hour. Watson had said the first meet ing was a “get acquainted” ses sion with Huang. Watson saw Huang through the door of the U. S. Embassy, just off the Place de la Concorde, but ducked back inside before news men could approach him. Huang, dressed in a black Mao suit and cap, raised both hands in a seeming gesture of futility to newsmen who sought to ques tion him. With two aides, he drove off in his black limousine. The shortness of the second session raised doubts that any substantive decisions were reached. There was no indica tion from either side whether a regular session on Monday had now been set up. The State Department in Wash ington has said that the near total secrecy surrounding the talks in Paris is the result of an agreement designed to assure their success. One of the outstanding geolo gists and petroleum engineers in the United States will speak to the Petroleum Engineering Club, the Geology Club and interested persons Wednesday at A&M. Michel T. Halbouty will talk at 7:30 p. m. in Room 103, En gineering Center, on the petro leum industry. “Halbouty is internationally Bulletin Board Tuesday The Panhandle Hometown Club will meet at 8 p.m. in Room 3D of the MSC.

Halbouty is a graduate of A&M where he received his bachelor and master of science degree. He also holds an honorary Doctor of Engineering, from Montana Col lege of Mineral Science and Tech nology. Wiley expresses optimism (Continued from page 1) generally known as ‘the Estab- lishmen’ — knows that it cannot afford to wrap itself in the Con federate flag and commit sui cide, as did Edmund Ruffin in 1865 after the South failed in its bid for independence,” re marked the former president of the Southern Historical Associa tion. He said the greatest obstacles to Southern progress are pov erty, ignorance, provincialism and racial prejudice. Noting these are all related, Dr. Wiley said: "Perhaps the greatest of them is the white man’s reluctance to recognize the potential of the black man and WANT AD RATES Oife day 51 per word 4c per word each additional day Minimum charge—76d Classified Display fl.00 per column inch each insertion BATTALION CLASSIFIED 3 Up FOR SALE S60CC Triumph Bonneville.

He also cited figures showing that in the decade of the 1960’s, for the first time in the 20th century, the South held its own in population, gaining more peo ple than it lost by migration. The speaker said the youth also represent hope because “chil dren have much less of racial prejudice and adapt more easily to desegregation than do their parents.” He concluded by describing the aftermath of a recent Savannah- Decatur school championship bas ketball game which he attended in Atlanta, a contest in which only one of the 10 players was white. "When Savannah won by a one-point margin in a very ex citing game,” he related, "black and white supporters rushed from the stands to hug the vic tors, completely oblivipus, or so it appeared, of any difference of color.” DEPEND ON DODGE New 1972 Dodge o^y $2125.00 • 6 passenger 2 door • cloth and vinyl trim plus freight, tax, lie. • Big 6 cyl. engine • 695 x 14 tires HALSELL MOTOR CO.
