Portrait of the late Gen. Earl Rudder
Rudder portrait on display
The previously unveiled painting
of the late Gen. Earl Rudder has
been placed on permanent display
in TAMU’s auditorium and confer
ence center complex that bears his
name.
The color portrait of the former
TAMU president is enclosed in an
illuminated glass case located on the
ground floor of the center’s main
auditorium and is visible from the
lobby of the conference tower.
J. Anthony Wills of Houston was
commissioned by the TAMU Sys
tem Board of Directors to do the
painting.
The painting was made possible
by a portion of the contributions
made to a memorial fund estab
lished shortly after Gen. Rudder
died on March 23, 1970. He had
been president of the university for
11 years.
Foundation grants money
for community education
The Community Education
Center at TAMU has received a
Mott Foundation grant for its fifth
year of operation.
The $169,449 grant provides for
dissemination, considtation and
training in Texas, Arkansas and
Louisiana through the TAMU
center. It became effective July 1.
The funds tie in with state and
federal money to help school dis
tricts start community education
programs.
Cooperating grants of $10,000
each to the University of Arkansas
and Southeastern Louisiana Uni
versity are included in the TAMU
award. The grant provides $37,000
for seed grants to school districts
and Hinds five Community Educa
tion Fellowships.
Community education programs
now operate in 38 Texas school dis
tricts. Forty-six more exist in the
region served by the TAMU center.
The programs provide for hill-
time, year-around use of schools for
educational and recreational pur
poses embracing needs of all citi
zens of a community. The concept
has gained rapid acceptance at fed
eral, state and local levels.
Developed by Charles S. Mott at
Flint, Mich., community education
now involves more than 700 U. S.
schools.
Instead of locking schools during
summers, holidays and afterS p.m.,
districts are employing tax-
supported buildings and facilities
through community education to
help the elderly, handicapped,
lonely and needy. Programs can
help persons improve a skill, ac
quire new skills and find ways to
meet today’s problems.
By early this year, nine states had
enacted legislation supporting
community education. The Texas
Education Agency awarded plan
ning grants of $1,200 to 56 school
districts through May. Plans are to
fund 100 school districts.
Governor Briscoe signed an
amendment to the Adult Education
Bill designating five per cent of its
total hinds to community education.
Federal binding of $3.5 million,
awaiting Senate appropriations
committee approval, has been de
signated by President Ford. The
appropriation would go to local dis
tricts, state departments of educa
tion and institutions of higher learn
ing for training community educa
tion personnel.

,God
asks you to
give more
than thanks.
The God we thank for the many blessings we have is the very same
God who asks us to love and help our neighbors. “But there’s nothing I can
do,” you say, “I am just one person.” Then join with others at your syn
agogue or church. Together, you can accomplish wonders.
Like the congregation in Montana that found a lack of adequate
housing for senior citizens. Today, these needy people have a new, non-profit
place to live and be thankful for. But the congregation also has more to be
thankful for than ever because they took collective and effective action.
Or consider the religious group in Atlanta that helps move families
and elderly persons who can’t afford a moving service.
There’s no end to the need for neighborly help and the ways you can
serve—-if you really want to. Remember—you have more to give thanks about
after you have been helpful.
Start treating your
brothers and sisters like
brothers and sisters.
