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.”
