Maybe both, believes a profes sional counselor at Prairie View A&M University, and he plans a sec ond study of PVAM students this fall to test a congruence theory. Dr. Carl Settles, head of the resi dence hall helper program at the Counseling Center at Prairie View A&M University studied 46 black males having scholastic problems and found that, in some cases, the worst thing a counselor could do was assign another young, black male as tutor. The complex findings indicate the troubled student may see peers as a threat and may be embarrassed in such situations. Black males may ini tially get better help from an older, black female who has already experi enced some of life’s problems. But as grades improve, explains Tea ntdf- ted to to GABE & WALKER’S One Mile West of West Bypass on FM 60 DINE-IN, ORDERS TO GO, OR EAT OUT ON “THE SLU” Featuring: BEEF PORK RIBS LINKS Tuesday-Saturday 11:00-9:00 Sunday 11:00-8:00 Closed Monday CATERING SERVICE > Sandwiches Cold Drinks • Butcher Paper Spreads to your Order \’M in Inc, •torol •eeril I sen- fining ments ■anf 'ersitv Ml ersitv AMs as* edffl "" Plates • Beer the former PVAM basketball star, the troubled student may no longer see peers as a threat and his own inadequacies as a source of embar rassment. Settles plans to undertake a study of freshman females this fall to further study the phenomenon. Overall, he says, the findings sup ported a congruence theory that the more similar in backgrounds the tutor and student were, the more successful the helping program would be. Results of the studies will be employed in training PVAM dormit ory personnel and others involved in Prairie View’s decentralized coun seling program. A recent Ph.D. graduate of the University of Texas, Settles began his experiment with students having scholastic problems to test the con gruence concept. Settles, who recently completed an internship at Houston’s Veterans Administration Hospital, also hopes to eventually expand the study to other groups. 846-4121 Texas A&M University’s architec ture facilities will be formally named Saturday in honor of Ernest Langford, whose 46 years of service to the university included 27 as head of the architecture programs. Ceremonies will be held at 11 a.m. in the architecture addition, which is still under construction. Both the new and existing facilities will comprise the Ernest Langford Architecture Center. The program will include remarks by Preston Bolton, president of Pre ston Bolton and Associates, a Hous ton architectual firm; Clyde H. Wells, chairman of the Texas A&M University System Board of Regents and William H. Lewie, Jr., a member of the Board of Regents.

Keith Langford, son of the hon- oree, will respond on behalf of his father, who is planning to attend the ceremonies. Dean of Architecture and En vironmental Design Raymond Reed will serve as master of ceremonies. The naming and dedication cere mony is part of the “Expanding Horizons” theme selected for the first home football game weekend.

He retired from the faculty in 1956 and was immediately awarded emeritus designation. He was head of the Architecture Department from 1929 until 1956, during which time all phases of architecture were offered through the one department. Langford, a 1913 Texas A&M graduate, joined the faculty of his alma mater in 1925 with the rank of professor. He came here after teach ing architecture for six years at the University of Illinois where he earned his master’s degree. He is the author of an informal document covering Texas A&M’s early years. The 65-page treatise, re leased in 1970, is entitled “Getting the College Under Way.” Prior to his retirement from the architecture faculty he authored a 47-page docu ment entitled “The First Fifty Years of Architectural Education at the Ag ricultural and Mechanical College of Texas.” In conjunction with his university work, Langford was active in city government, serving 25 years as councilman and mayor of College Station. He was a member of the first city council, elected for a two-year term in 1938, and was mayor from 1942 until 1965. The facilities that will bear Langford’s name include the present architecture building, which was erected in 1962 at a cost of $919,000,and the four-story struc ture which is currently in the found ation stage. The new 100,000- square-foot building is being con structed under a $6,438,100 contract which also includes renovation of the present structure.
