Greenawalt said.
“The program is showing tre
mendous growth,” he said. “There
were about 7,200 participants in
1976, and we are anticipating be
tween 8,000 and 10,000 for 1977
enrollment.
Community education at Con
solidated is almost financially inde

each course, still only ou cents an

the program. Tuition pays the

Dr. S. Kerry Cooper, a member
of the Texas A&M University fac
ulty since 1975, has been named
head of the finance department,
said Dean of Business Administra
tion Dr. John E. Pearson.
Cooper succeeds Dr. Clinton A.
Phillips, who has returned to full
time teaching after recent heart
surgery.
Cooper joined the A&M faculty
in January, 1975, and has had teach
ing responsibilities in cost and man
agerial accounting as well as ac
counting concepts and procedures.
An assistant professor of account
ing, he holds bachelor’s and mas
ter’s degrees from Louisiana State
University and Ph.D. from the Uni
versity of Texas-Austin.
He is the author of the book “Fi
nancial Accounting: Basic Concepts
and Procedures,” and has had arti
cles published in “Financial Execu
tive,” “CPA Financial Digest,” “Fi
nancial Management” and the
“Journal of Accountancy.”
Cooper came to A&M after teach

Clear Lake City, with previous
teaching at both LSU and UT-
Austin. His business experience in

school facility while classes are in
session.
The remaining 10 per cent of the
program is funded through the
A&M Consolidated Independent
School District, and indirectly
through the county superinten
dent’s office.
“Beginning March 1, we still will
also conduct mini-courses for stu
dents in grades 1-5,” Greenawalt
said. “Each Friday classes will be
dismissed at 2 p.m., and students
will be taught basic cooking, tennis,
sewing and conversational Spanish,
among many other things.” The
choice of mini courses will depend a
great deal on student preferences,
he said.
Parents in action, another phase
of Community Education at Con
solidated, will get parents involved
on school campuses. Greeenawalt
said parents who are interested in
volunteering time will be given
duties in the schools’ offices, lib
raries, lunch rooms and classrooms.
One-day training sessions in read
ing, mathematics, multimedia, li
brary assistance and ethics will help
acquaint parents with their duties,
he said.
The high school equivalency pro
gram is now conducted through the
office of Community Education.
The student must be 17 or older and
must have been away from school
for at least one year. This group will
meet Monday through Thursday at
A&M Consolidated High School.
Educating today’s youth on the
harmful effects of drugs has become
another goal for Community Educa
tion. High school students, some
having had experiences with drugs,
have been chosen to work with pro
fessional counselors to find ways of
helping other students who have
drug problems, and discouraging
those who are tempted to use drugs.
Community Education began
about 45 years ago in Michigan,
when the Charles Stewart Mott
Foundation donated funds to spon
sor the movement back to the com
munity.
Dr. Robert I. Berridge, director
of the Center for Community Edu
cation, Texas A&M University, ex
plains Community Education as a
movement toward getting people
interested enough to get involved in
the community schools.
“The schools belong to the
people,” Berridge said. “And
people have free access to those
facilities, with limitations, of course,
according to Texas law,” he said.
“One of the goals of Community
Education is to bring the center of
activity back to the schools, so when
people say our schools’ they mean
it.”
Berridge said the process does
work, provided that the program is
broken down to a workable size.
“The larger the city, the hart,
to coordinate the activitiesi
dreds of schools,” he added
“There are about 187 otj

Senate to help fast driver
all car insurance wont n
United Press International
AUSTIN — The Texas Senate ap
parently isn’t going to try to in
crease the 55 mile-per-hour speed
limit this year, but a Senate com
mittee has moved to make it a little
less painful.
On a 9-1 vote yesterday, the
committee said drivers caught
traveling between 55 and 70 m.p.h.
should not have their car insurance
increased, nor should they face sus
pension of their driver’s licenses.
“The old 70 m.p.h. is actually
safer than 55 m.p.h.,” said Sen.
William Moore, D-Bryan, who au
thored the bill. “You go to sleep
driving 55 m.p.h.”
Moore said insurance companies
were in favor of the change. He also
said he was for limiting fines for per
sons traveling between 55 and 70
m.p.h. to no more than $5.
Texas Department of Public
Safety Director Wilson E. Speir has
urged the legislature to push the
speed limit back up. Moore’s bill,
however, retains the lower limit.
the state could have its
funds cut off if the limit was»
