NAHB to Attend
’74 Convention
The Student Chapter of the Na

ers welcomes students consider
ing a future in home building,
apartment construction, land de
velopment or light commercial
construction.
The NAHB is a professional
organization developed with the
intent of furthering a student’s
education in the construction field.
The NAHB offers members the
chance to attend the NAHB Na
tional Convention in Houston in
January, 1974. Convention reser
vations for builders are $150 but
active dues-paying members will
be charged only $5.
In the past, members of the
chapter have found job contacts
through this convention.
with a clearcut acquisitions pro
gram, planned new activities and
service he stresses is available to
the public as well s TAMU fac

“The biggest change in Ar

the scope of activities and mate
rials collected,” explained Schultz,
TAMU’s first full-time archivist.
It still maintains such items as
old uniforms, a vial of Kyle Field
soil bottled in 1925 and bricks
from former buildings.
Student Arrests
Lead to Deaths
The National Education Asso
ciation charged that the arrests
of student leaders during demon
strations last Nov. 16 at South
ern University were responsible
for the subsequent deaths of two
students.
“All evidence points to the
conclusion that the untimely and
extraordinary arrests robbed the
demonstrations of much of their
effective student leadership . . .
and were the immediate cause
of the confrontation that ended
in death on the morning of Nov.
16” the NEA concludes.
The NEA’s findings are con
tained in a 62-page report sum
marizing the organization’s six-
month investigation of last year’s
violence at Southern.

Machinery was proposed for
questioning executive decisions on
classification of documents for
national security reasons.
Meanwhile, the committee rec
ommended that individual sena

consult with the Senate Ethics

The decision by university of
ficials to initiate action which led
to the arrest of student protest
leaders and the firing of two
teachers stems from a tradition
of authoritarian control and ex
emplifies the nature of South
ern’s deeply rooted problems, ac
cording to the NEA report.
In making the report public,
NEA President Dr. Helen D. Wise
described the problems at South
ern, outlined recommendations
for changes at the university,
and indicated how the NEA can
help students and teachers bring
about change on the campus.
The NEA report points to con
trol of Southern University by
an all-white State Board of Edu
cation and inadequate financial
support as the underlying causes
of student unrest on the campus.
The opinion has been express
ed by the governor of Louisiana
and others that the tragedy at
Southern was a controversy where
blacks were protesting against
blacks.
The conditions of all-white con
trol and inadequate financing
reflect the tradition and the con
tinued reality of institutional
racism at Southern, according to
the report.
Also, these conditions disting
uish the student protest move
ment at Southern from protests
of white students at predomin
antly white universities.
“For when Southern Univer
sity students complained about
their exclusion from the policy
determination that sape univer
sity life, they were speaking to
administrators who are them
selves excluded from full and ef
fective participation in those de
determination that shape univer-
els,” the report says.
“They were speaking to a gen
eration of Southern black edu
cators whose entire life experi
ence has taught them that subtle
diplomacy, accommodation, and
at least outward deference to a
white power structure are the
key components, not only of the
advancement of black education,
but of its very survival,” the re
port adds.
The report charges that histor
ically the all-white State Board
of Education has operated Loui
siana’s black colleges on an “ir
reducible minimum of tax sup
port.”
Speaking for the NEA on the
question of its continued com
mitment to its student and teach
er members at Southern Univer
sity, Dr. Wise said every effort
will be made to make sure the
NEA’s recommendations are im
plemented.
Dr. Wise said staff assistance
in the areas of political organ
izing, legal counseling, public re
lations, and others are available
upon request through the NEA’s
state affiliate, the Louisiana Ed-
cation Association.
More space is devoted, though,
to papers of Cong. Olin Teague
and Graham Purcell, Washington
journalist Bascom Timmons and
nuclear physicist Paul Aebersold.
TAMU records and memorablia
provide sources for answering
questions about the background
of Texas A&M people, the campus
and programs. A full set of “Ag-
gieland” and “Longhorn” year
books are the most frequently
consulted materials, to identify
individuals people are seeking,
Schultz said.
A clip file on special subjects
including the Aggie Band, Corps
of Cadets, and mascots run a
dead heat race with the year
books.
Photographs, catalogs, commit
tee minutes, sports information,
department and college newslet
ters, University Information news
copy and the “Battalion” are
shelved in Archives.
The collection’s new acquisi
tions and other to be obtained will
be cataloged in three major areas.
These are the Texas Archives of
Agriculture, Southwestern Ar
chives of Technology and Ar
chives of Modern Politics. The
latter includes the Teague, Pur
cell and Timmons papers. "We
hope there will be others,” com
mented Schultz, a Texas native
with varied archival experience.
A unique archival program in
volves acquisition of records of
several A&M Mothers Clubs and
local women’s organizations. It
concentrates on Bryan and Col
lege Station.
“It makes possible,” Schultz
said, “a master’s thesis in sociol
ogy on the role of women’s organ-
izations in society.”
Archives has been formally de
clared the depository of universi
ty records by W. C. Freeman Jr,
TAMU vice president and comp
troller. By his memo, the archiv-
ist is responsible for forwarding
requests to destroy records to the
State Auditor and State Libra
rian. Law indicates no state rec
ords may legally be discarded
without their approval.
Such records from college and
departmental levels must neces
sarily be reviewed for content be
cause of Archives space limita
tions, Schultz said. A move to the
first floor of the Cushing Build
ing is being considered.
Peace Corps Degree
Forms Available
To many college students in our nation the biggest question is
how they can use their college education to benefit others without
having a Master’s or Ph.D. degree. For those freshmen and sopho
mores interested in math and science, the State University of New
York may have the answer.
On the campus of the State University at Brockport there exists
a unique program known as the Peace Corps/College Degree Program,
The program, the only one in the U.S.A., was started at Brockport
in 1967, for the purpose of training teachers in the math and science
areas to be stationed overseas as Peace Corps volunteers for two
years. The first five years of the program were aimed at sending
teachers to Latin America but the new emphasis is on Francophone
Africa, especially Zaire, the former Belgian Congo. In fact the pro
ject director has just returned from a two year teaching tour there.
The program, which lasts for 15 months, is geared towards
training volunteers who have finished the equivalent of a two year
program, 60 credits, with enough hours in their math or science
major to finish in four semesters. The graduates, who minor in
French, Zaire’s official language; receive a Bachelor’s Degree and
provisional New York State Teachers Certification.
