TAMU awards $2,700 to A&M Consolidated
A&M has awarded a $2,700
grant to the A&M Consolidated
Independent School District for
development of a community edu
cation program.
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.

known for his scientific ability in
petroleum exploration,” said
Richard Lionberger, president of
the Petroleum Engineers Club.
“He is considered an outstand
ing authority on the geological
and engineering problems of the
Gulf Coast, and is rated as one
of the top experts on the geology
of Gulf Coast salt domes,” said
Lionberger.
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.

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

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

give him a fair chance to achieve
equal status as a full-fledged
American citizen.”
The professor indicated the
youth hold great promise for the
South because of their numbers
and their racial outlook.
“The South still has more
young people than any other part
of the nation, despite the large
ingress of old people in recent
years into Florida and other
balmy parts of the deep South,”
he reminded.
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.”
