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.

riq Yosufzai at 845-2670 or Bill
