A gs may promote development
of Latin American agriculture
by CATHY SAATHOFF
Battalion Staff
Latin American agriculture students at Texas A&M University are
being asked to help in a project designed to improve agricultural
development in rural areas of their home countries.
Johnny Clay Johnson, research assistant for the project, said
questionnaires have been sent to the students to find out their
feelings on the project.
“We want to get the Latin American students together,” Johnson
said.
The questionnaire contains inquiries into the students’ involve
ment with agriculture in their home country, cultural factors and
Vet school selects
137 for new class
One hundred thirty-seven persons, including 22 from Bryan-
College Station, have been selected for the fall 1980 entering
veterinary class at Texas A&M University.
The class will be the first to follow as a single group the new four-
year program implemented last year. Only half the 1979-80 entering
class is following the new program while the rest continues on the
three-year system that had been in effect for 15 years.
The new class, chosen from almost 500 qualified applicants,
includes 46 women.
Texas A&M’s College of Veterinary Medicine, the nation’s largest,
annually produces about 9 percent of the practitioners in the United
States.
Selected to attend from Bryan-College Station were Marcus R.
Alexander, Robert N. Ballinger, Wade F. Bradshaw, Robert L.
Bush, Harold D. Clardy, Douglas S. Dawson, Lezlee H. Graham,
Terry S. Hensley, Thomas R. Hoffstetter, Bradley C. Hoke and
Marina R. Lara.
Also, Mary M. Leland, Marie H. Martin, Robert D. McCrady, Bill
J. McGehee Jr., Joseph A. Mikeska, Cheryl A. Nazzal, Suzanne L.
Schoener-Lozoya, Cheryl A. Schulz, Theodore R. Staph, Christina
T. Warren and Janice C. Winters.

ideas for development.
“We feel that the Latin American students at this University are a
very valuable resource,” Johnson said.
In addition to the questionnaire, the students are invited to a
meeting Wednesday night at 7:30 in 137A MSG. Johnson said the
meeting is to find out what the students think of the project.
With this input from the students, Johnson said, researchers can
implement the plan more easily. Since many of the students will
return to agricultural jobs in Latin America when they graduate, they
may one day work with the projects started through the research.
Johnson said he is not sure if all Latin American agriculture
students received the questionnaire and invitation to the meeting,
but he urged all to attend.
Of 80 letters mailed at the end of July, about 10 have been
returned, Johnson said.
The project is funded by a strengthening grant from the United
States Agency for International Development. The University re
ceives money from AID and divides it among different groups based
on research proposals.
“The projects prepare land grant universities to be in a better
position to provide assistance to foreign countries,” Johnson said.
Texas A&M’s projects focus on Latin America, he said.
