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.

“QUALITY FIRST”
Drive continues
$135,925 sought
By PAULA GEYER
Battalion Staff Writer
The largest single fund-raising
drive in the county is in progress by
the Bryan-Brazos County United
Way, Bookman Peters, chairman of
the drive, said Thursday.
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.
