TWIN CITY CHURCH OF CHRIST 3610 Plainsman Lane Bryan, Texas Phone 846-4515 or 846-0804 TMA To Enroll Civilians Enrollment in the Texas Mari time Academy has been expanded this fall to include students who want to prepare themselves for land-based maritime careers without being required to live on campus, participate in the corps of cadets or go on summer cruises. Dr. William Clayton, dean of A&M’s College of Marine Scien ces and Maritime Resources and acting TMA superintendent, said students enrolling in the special program will be offered techni cal or management courses in stead of the naval science courses required for cadets. Students enrolled in the new program will have the same op portunity as TMA cadets to earn Bachelor of Science degrees in either marine engineering or ma rine transportation. The special program will not lead to award of Coast Guard licenses or re serve commissions, nor will the students in the special program receive the federal subsidy awarded to TMA cadets. Clayton said students earning degrees through the special pro gram might pursue careers as port managers, port engineers or Williams Lauds Students At Mothers’ Meeting Praise for students and plans for the future highlighted Dr. Jack K. Williams’ remarks Sat urday at the fall meeting of the executive board of the Federa tion of Texas A&M University Mother’s Clubs. “If you have any doubts what ‘young America’ is all about,” the TAMU president noted, “I invite you to stay here next week and see the best cross-section any where in the state or nation.” The TAMU president said one of the university’s most pleasant problems this fall is finding dor mitory spaces for students sign ing up for the Corps of Cadets, in which participation is expect ed to be the highest in at least five years. He outlined the institution’s overall construction program, which currently includes 14 proj ects. He said plans call for the campus to be “in shape” by 1976, the university’s centennial year. Mrs. Henry G. Creel Jr. of Fort Worth, president of the 52-club federation, responded by point ing out that “this is one campus where parents really feel wel come.” More than 50 federation offi cers from throughout the state, including the majority of the area club presidents, attended the session, which involved a business meeting in addition to the talks by university officials. Mrs. Creel said the federation has approved a list of approxi mately 15 projects and activities to be recommended for support this year by various mother’s clubs. The program includes con tinued support for scholarships, the university health center and the Singing Cadets. work in a wide variety of man agement jobs within the mari time industry. Students will be able to enroll in the special program as fresh men or can study the first year or two at a community college or at a four-year college or univer sity, Clayton noted. Young men will not be re quired to live on campus or par ticipate in the academy’s annual summer cruise, although they may apply for both, the dean said. Campus housing is currently provided during the regular school year aboard the “Texas Clipper” TMA training ship which is docked adjacent to the campus. The campus’ first dor mitories are in the final stages of planning, Dean Clayton added. He said coeds will be eligible to enroll in the special marine engineering and transportation programs on a day-student basis. TMA was established in 1962 as part of A&M. The academy was made a part of the univer sity’s new College of Marine Sciences and Maritime Resources last year. It is the newest of the nation’s six major maritime acad emies and the only one on the Gulf of Mexico. Academic Affairs Group To Study Naval School Need The Academic Affairs Commit tee plans to study the need for a naval architecture school at A&M. The committee will make rec ommendations to the Administra tion based on its findings. Currently there are only four schools of Naval Architecture in the United States. Other new committee projects planned for this fall include an admission evaluation, a univer sity catalogue analysis, an aca demic listing project and a uni versity and system self-study. In the admission evaluation special emphasis will be placed upon ad mission procedures for aliens and out-of-state students. In the university catalogue analysis the committee plans to recommend the addition of a sec tion concerning campus facili ties. This section would include a non-technical description of university research establish ments. Under the system analysis the creation of a statewide medical school complex within the frame work of the TAMU system will be recommended. In the academic listing project a list of all laboratories, centers, institutes and scholarly establish ments of the university will be prepared. Such a list could be used by the University Catalogue or in Student Senate publica tions. Other projects of the Academic Committee that are being car ried over from last spring in clude the Free University, pass- fail evaluation, student tutoring services and academic awards. Students interested in becom ing involved with one or more of these projects can fill out an application form in the Student Senate office.
