Bryan seniors join in A&M program
By ROY BRACG
Battalion Reporter
Fifteen Bryan High School
seniors will have the chance to work
and study in their preferred career
areas under the guidance of Texas
A&M University professors this
year.
The new program is called
“Career Education for Gifted and
Talented Senior Students,” and will
be run by the Bryan Independent
A&M Consol
considers —
but no action
By DOUG GRAHAM
Battalion Staff
The A&M Consolidated school
board met Monday night to discuss
master plans, flow charts, finances
and playground grass.
Superintendent Fred Hopson
presented a flow chart for
decision-making which outlined
procedures for recognizing, evalua
ting and acting on problems in the
district.
The school board authorized
landscape architects Fred Klatt and
Michael Murphy of College Station
to further develop preliminary plans
for Consolidated campuses. One
study will examine the implications
of closing Holik Street, and another
will concern a traffic problem at Col
lege Hills Elementary School.
The architects said bus, bicycle,
pedestrian and car movement be
tween the school entry and the in
tersection of Williams and Francis
streets is potentially hazardous.
A high school master plan also
will be prepared and reviewed by
the board.
In another report, Hopson re
quested an up-to-date parts in
ventory that would enable workers
to keep machines running while de
fective parts are sent out for repair
or replacement.
Hopson said this system would
cut the time equipment will be out
of service.
He also recommended phasing
out old equipment.
Hopson said that by February the
school board should have developed
maintenance policies and a prelimi
nary budget.
The school board also authorized
taking out an $80,000 loan to cover
salary and operating expenses for
October. The 60-day note will be
due Dec. 31, 1978 and will draw 2.5
percent interest. Hopson said a loan
for $60,000 or less would have
drawn 1.5 percent interest, but
more funds were needed this year
than last.
He said it was customary to bor- '
row until tax money is received.
The school board also discussed
planting grass and installing a water
ing system at a campus playground.
School District in cooperation with
Dr. William R. Nash of the Educa
tional Psychology Department at
Texas A&M. Doris Ruflfino will head
the program for BISD.
Students can be nominated for
the program by teachers, coun
selors, parents or even themselves,
Ruffino said.
The students nominated will then
be tested and the final number cho
sen on the basis of academic
achievement, leadership potential
and creativity, as well as talent in a
particular area.
The program, which begins Dec.
4, will consist of three phases of in
struction. There will be no course
credit for the participants, but stu
dents will meet daily for two hours
at Bryan High for the course.
The first part of the program con
sists of self-evaluations and de
velopment of definite career inter
ests by the students. This part of the
program will take place entirely at
the Bryan High campus. The in
structors for this first phase will be
Martha Fulbright and Lester
Seltzberg, graduate assistants for
Nash.
In the second portion of the pro
gram, the students will be paired
with Texas A&M professors. The
students will “shadow” the profes
sors to observe the daily activities of
the “mentors.” Ruffino said profes
sors are volunteers who have con
tacted Nash concerning the pro
gram.
The students will actually enter
the area in which they have shown a
preference in the last phase of the
program. The placement of the stu
dents in these jobs will be done by
BISD personnel.
The program was originally de
veloped by Nash two years ago with
a grant from the U.S. Office of Edu
cation, which formed the Center for
Career Development and Career
Guidance.
The program was first used in the
A&M Consolidated School District
last year. It is not being used there
this year.
The program will last two quar
ters at Bryan High.
In addition to the 15 students
chosen for the program, there are
five alternates. These students will
participate only in the first two
phases of the program.
