Worth, Texas TIHI€P€ I more than 7.000 students from all over the state will be there Baptist or not Call 846 7722 tor Into 1 ' 1975 Texas Baptist Student Convention By VICKIE ASHWILL Battalion Staff Writer Scholastically speaking, the typi cal Texas A&M University student has changed. The number of students entering from the first quarter of their high school graduating class has in creased from 35 per cent in 1963 to 67 per cent in 1974. Altogether, 92 per cent of the 1974 entering freshmen were in the upper half of their high school graduating classes. Bobby Johnson, supervisor of fi nancial aid, said the President’s Scholar Awards program may be a factor in the increase. Presently there are 113 Presi dent’s Scholars attending A&M. Started in 1968, these awards are designed to recognize and honor outstanding high school students in Texas. Each year 30 to 40 new reci pients are named by the university. Recipients of the awards receive $1,250 per year for four years on the condition that they maintain a grade , point ratio of 3.00 or higher. Johnson said many of the reci pients accelerate and finish school in three years or less. Robert Logan, director of finan cial aid, said the students were nominated by their high school principals at the end of the junior year. “A subcommittee of the Univer sity Scholarship Committee reviews the nominations and selects pros pects for the awards, Logan said. “The Scholarship Committee makes its final decision in August and notifies the recipients at the begin ning of their senior high school year.” Logan said financial need was not a requirement for the awards. He said that the decision was based on high school grades, class standing, scores on the National Merit Qual ifying Tests and Preliminary Stan dard Achievement Tests, leader ship capacities and extra-curricular activities. Johnson has done past research that indicates these award re cipients also bring other students with them from their high schools. “The purpose of the program was to encourage these people to come to A&M,” Logan said. Johnson added that his research shows that recipients tend to bring good students with them and those who score highly on the SAT. “But we still get a lot of outstand ing students who don’t necessarily score high on standardized tests,” Johnson said. Logan said the average grade point ratio for the award recipients is approximately 3.7. Ten of the recipients are funded by the university and the remainder are funded through endowments , from the Former Students Associa- 1 tion. • They Rent That-Away!

The drive, aiming to collect $135,925 before Oct. 31, was launched Sept. 15 by more than 600 volunteers. The money collected from the drive will he distributed to 15 local charity agencies, Peters said. Last year the Bryan drive col lected $131,000 in a 45-day period. Peters said the Bryan-Brazos County United Way drive saves contribution dollars by combining potential funding campaigns into one drive. The funds support agencies which provide programs for the el derly, the handicapped, young people, the sick and the needy, Pet ers said. The agencies, tire chosen to par ticipate In the drive by the Budget Committee of the local United Way, he said. Peters said the agencies submit budgets to the committee which de cides how much money to allocate each agency out of the total amount of funds contributed. College Station and Texas A&M University also began fund-raising projects Sept. 15 for the United Way. The College Station United Way has set a goal of raising $35,000 be fore Oct. 31 for many of the same agencies supported by the Bryan drive. The Texas A&M campaign will raise money for both the College Station United Way and the Bryan-Brazos County United Way, Dr. Haskell Monroe, head of the campus campaign, said. The main agencies supported by this year’s United Way fund drive are: Boys Club of Bryan, Inc., $38,000; Boy Scouts of America, $17,000; Girls' Clubs of Brazos County, Inc., $16,500, American Red Cross, $13,500; Brazos County Rehabilitation Center, $12,000; and the Bluebonnet Girl Scout Council, $11,000.
