THE BATTALION WEDNESDAY, MAY 14. 1975 Page 5 Students of all ages freely mix studies, jobs’ Broader-based graduate edu cation is in the offing with stu dents of all ages freely mixing their studies and jobs in new learning environments, said Dr. Boyd Page, president of the United States Council of Graduate Schools in Friday’s commencement address. Page commented on changes he foresees within the next 15 years at exercises for approxi mately half of the record 2,074 students receiving degrees this weekend, including 80 doctoral and 304 master’s degree reci pients. Dr. Page said too much em phasis in graduate education has been placed on narrow speciali zation and development of spe cial skills. “This is not to criticize,” he v Stressed. “It was the direction in which greatest individual re wards could be obtained and was a clear response to the stated needs of society as well as the aspirations of individuals. ” He said societal change has now outstripped the capacity for accommodation, with the result being that serious imbalances exist. “There will continue to be need for high specialization in some disciplines,” noted Dr. Page, who was graduate dean and dean of the college at TAMU during the late 1950’s, “but what will be needed by many students is a more adapt able graduate experience, help- Shaft named nation’s top NROTC instructor Shaff has been named top Naval ROTC in structor.

TEXAS A&M BOOKSTORE In the Memorial Student Center Lt. Terry E. Shaff of Texas A&M has been desig nated the top NROTC instructor in the U. S. He will receive the Codd Memorial Award May 21 in Washington, D. C. Austin borrows 2 tons of liberty A bit of Aggieland goes on display in the State Capitol today. The two-ton Liberty Bell replica that has dominated the rotunda of the Academic Building for a quarter-century has been temporar ily moved to Austin as part of the state’s observance of the nation’s bicentennial. TAMU officials emphasize the bell is strictly on loan and will be returned to its traditional location following the year-long celebration of the nation’s 200th anniversary. Texas National Guard Col. James Starr, was given the responsibility of transporting the bell from Col lege Station to Austin. He dis patched a National Guard truck to pick up the bell and take it to Camp M abry for an overnight stay before moving it into the west wing of the capital Wednesday morning. The move was arranged by the American Revolution Bicentennial Commission of Texas in cooperation with the Savings Bond Division of the U. S. Treasury Department. The Treasury Department had 52 of the full-scale replicas struck in 1950 and presented one to each state plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. All the other Liberty Bell replicas were placed in the states’ capitals^ but then-Texas Gov. Allan Shivers presented Texas’ bell to Texas A&M in recognition of its 75th anniver sary and the role of its former stu dents in the service of their country.

"Lewis & Clark would have loved us" dinator for all cadets’ summer train ing, on the academic review board, as freshman counselor and in sev eral other responsibilities. “We have an outstanding staff, and Terry typifies it,” Col. Hogan commented. “We think he is an ex ceptional young man. All cadets now in the Navy program are a pro duct of Terry’s tutelage. ” ing them better to know which questions to ask, which prob lems to attack and judge what is germane and what is superflu ous.” He said continual resident in struction will probably be li mited largely to undergraduate students. “Post baccalaureate students of all ages will move freely into and out of graduate programs, mixing on-the-job experience or self-directed study with ses sions of intensive study, fre quently in satellite centers near the student’s home,” he pre dicted. “Society will support the training in resident status of the few highly qualified stu dents in specialty areas of basic- research and learning on the basis of perceived national need.” He said competent profes sionals will be heavily relied on for service on faculties both on and off campus, with many gain ing faculty appointment. Dr. Page speculated that in the future much learning will be derived from “stand-alone” in stitutes, industry-centered schools and educational enter prises or on the basis of self- directed study. “The university will, I be lieve, be thrust into the key role for credentialing of students who can present evidences of competency, however de rived,” he explained. Formal training for advanced degrees may come to represent a much smaller total activity than non-degree continuing education which will be widely available to the public at large, he added. Dr. Page foresees fewer uni versities in the future as a result of consolidation or broadening of the organizational base.
