THE BATTALIC
‘Clipper’ begins
her voyage home
GALVESTON — The "Texas
Clipper,” Texas Maritime Acad
emy training ship carrying 128
students, began its voyage home
Saturday, sailing from Palma in
the Balearic Islands.
Arrival back in Galveston from
the two-month 13,000-mile Medi
terranean cruise is scheduled
Aug. 6 after a visit to the Canary
Islands and courtesy stops at
New Orleans and Freeport.
Badio conversations between
the ship and TMA offices in Gal
veston indicate all aspects of the
cruise have been highly success
ful, including a visit to Split,
Yugoslavia. That visit reportedly
represented the first time an
American training vessel had
docked in the Communist coun
try since World War II.
In addition to 63 TMA cadets
fulfilling summer training re
quirements, the "Clipper” has
aboard 65 recent high school
graduates participating in A&M’s
“Summer School at Sea.” The
ship also carries a 34-member
crew and staff.
Registration
headquarters
transferred
Registration headquarters, for
merly located in the basement of
the YMCA Building, has been
moved to Room 203 of the Old
Cushing Library.
Willis S. Ritchey of the Regis
trar’s Office said that the pres
ent setup includes three or four
offices and a foyer. The move
was made Monday and is effec
tive immediately. The phone
number, 845-7117, remains the
same.
Ritchey said it was important
for everyone to keep the new lo
cation in mind when giving direc
tions to students attending fresh
man and transfer student orien
tation sessions.

Dr. Sweet says
More schools offer continuing education programs^
Continuing education programs
of some form or another are of
fered by nearly all member insti
tutions in the 11-state Southern
Association of Colleges and
Schools.
Dr. Gordon Sweet said it is an
expanding educational service
that an increasing number of
schools are getting into it in a
variety of ways.
“Continuing education often
enrolls more people than regular
degree programs,” the Southern
Association executive secretary
said.
“We’re talking about education
at any time in a man or wom
an’s life. It picks a person up at
one point and takes him to an
other. This excites me,” Sweet
told participants in an Academic
Administrators Seminar at A&M.
The exciting thing, he re
marked, is that colleges and uni
versities are attempting to learn
where individuals outside the tra
ditional school age bracket are
located educationally.
Termed “outreach’’ programs
in education circles, continuing
education provides learning op
portunities in a variety of areas
through foreign travel-study, in
dependent study programs, non-
traditional degree programs, cul
tural-enrichment programs and
televised and broadcast courses,
among others.
“A theological seminary offers
outreach for parish priests and
ministers who could not finish
their degrees earlier, when re
quirements for being ordained
were less strict,” Sweet exam-
pled.
The school and college accred
iting organization official intro
duced by A&M President Jack K.
Williams said the Southern As
sociation is attempting to keep
pace of such changes in educa
tion.
The association is a voluntary
non-governmental organization of
accredited institutions from Tex
as to Virginia. Its purpose is the
improvement of education i n
member institutions, by estab
lishment of accrediting stand-
