Battalion photo by Roxanne Smith By MACY BOYCE Battalion Reporter Making its debut alongside “The American Abstract Expressionist Collection” in Rudder Exhibit Hall on the Texas A&M University cam pus this year is the University Art Exhibits Docents. This group of five women from the Bryan-College Station commu nity was fouxrded in early Sep tember to shed a light on paintings which might have an underlying meaning. The docents will be on hand with information regarding the history and the style of the art. “We knew the show would be very difficult to understand unless we had people available to take groups or individuals through the exhibit,” said Joe Arredondo, direc tor of the University art exhibits. The docent program is “strictly volunteer,” he said. “It is just people who have an interest in art as well as some extra time.” Two docents are available at the exhibit hall from noon to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday. In addi tion, the docents will attend OPAS events like the North Texas State University jazz band, said Ar redondo. Prior to the Oct. 9 opening of the exhibit from the Sarah Campbell Blaffer Foundation, Arredondo said the docents attended a two-hour training session where they re ceived an in-depth exposure to the art. Nov. 15 is the last day of the “American Abstract Experessionist Collection” exhibit. Immediately following will be “Trilogy,” three art exhibitions from the collection of J. W. Runyon will appear on the first floor of Sterling C. Evans Library . lodes Scholar selection continues Engineering student vies for honor ■y MARGARET JOHNSON Battalion Reporter William C. Altman of New Ulm ■ been submitted as the Texas &M University Rhodes Schol- ship candidate to study at Oxford niversity in England. Altman’s nomination was an- ounced by Dr. Paul Van Riper, hairman of the Rhodes Sehol- rships Committee for Texas A&M. Bandidates for the award are ominated on a statewide basis, wo students are chosen to repre- ent each state in a district contest, ihe United States is divided into ■ight districts, and each district re ceives four scholarships. Thirty-two ihodes Scholarships are awarded nnually in the United States. Altman will be competing against pproximately 46 Texas nominees to >e selected as one of the two candi- lates. ■If I’m selected by the state select ion committee, I’ll meet with the )ther selected candidates in Hous ton in mid-December,” Altman said. “There will be 20-30 minute interviews and the committee will then select two persons to represent Texas on the district level at New Orleans.” The electrical engineering senior is a President’s Scholar, holds Na tional Merit and Valedictory Schol arships and has been a Distin guished Student every semester. Altman has a 3.9 grade point ratio. If chosen for the Rhodes Scholarship, Altman would study engineering, economics and management. “When I first enrolled at A&M, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to major in,” said Altman. “A degree in engi neering is a really good background, since everything now is so techni cally oriented.” Altman, who will graduate from Texas A&M after 3-Vfe years of school, naturally hopes to win the scholarship candidacy. “I don’t know what kind of people I will be up against in Houston,” he said. “I feel I stand a good chance, especially if I get an interview. I’m hopeful, but you just never know. As a candidate for state repre sentation, Altman has to submit an application and a 1,000-word essay stating what he plans to study and accomplish if he attends Oxford. “The essay is harder to write than it may seem,” said Altman. “What I have to say has to be condensed and precise, and that makes it difficult. The Rhodes Scholarhip was founded by Oxford alumnus Cecil J. Rhodes in 1902. Rhodes designed the fund to promote international understanding and peace and to help better mankind. He also struc tured a set of standards to deter mine prospective Rhodes Scholars: — literary and scholastic attain ments; — fondness for and success in sports; — truth, courage, devotion to duty, sympathy for and protection of the weak, kindness, unselfishness and fellowship; — moral force of character and in stincts to lead. In spite of the fact that more countries have been added to the original beneficiary list and women are allowed to compete for the scholarsips, Rhodes’ basic purposes have been maintained. Though Altman would prefer to study at Oxford, he has already been accepted for graduate study at Stan ford Graduate School of Business in California. “It would be a great opportunity to study at Oxford since it has been considered one of the greatest uni versities, but even if Tm not selected, I still feel honored to be chosen as the University’s nominee.” he impS I \ hat diffi | /ard the | | ■ is the)! | isconten | can boai I n ters, no | ilityofthB foward® heavily i mt Roni ■ -th e vice-[ ;ht have! biggersli ■sting <P uch, inli c conft ie futuif in tnnifl les fashh# any UNITED WAY 4th Quarter “Score Texas A&M $33,150 Baylor $43,587 ran i tier ho* y at rei sinol y* lodjoi* then m vith M 01 _Rus!
