Community education in
Texas is based at the Center of
Community Education in the
Texas A&M Department of
Educational Administration.
The center assists Texas com
munities that wish to start com
munity education projects and
helps train directors for the
programs, said Dr. Robert Ber-
ridge, director of the center.
Each program has a dif ferent
set of goals and objectives based
on its own needs in the commun
ity, he said.
“I think the real strength of
community education is tbe fact
that it is different in every com
munity and it does shape itself to
what that community needs,”
Berridge said.
“Research Needs in En
dangered Species” is the topic of
a speech presented by the cam
pus chapter of Sigma Chi, the
science honor society at 8 p.m.
tomorrow in 701 Rudder
Tower.
Dr. Kurt Benirschke. dire
ctor of research and health ser
vices at the San Deigo Zoo and
professor of pathology and re
productive medicine at the Uni
versity of California San Diego,
will give the speech.
The lecture is intended for a
general audience and should be
of interest to students, facultv.
and the general public.
Dr. William Clark of the
Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences
Department said what is needed
in research is to identify and
preserve the critical points of en
dangered species' habitats.In
some cases, it may not lie worth
while to preserve habitats except
in zoos, he said.

Admission for the pageant
“Women from Texas
Women’s University would
come to College Station to
participate in the pageant,”
Dr. A.|. Bockhold, associate
professor of agronomy, said.
The women from TWU
were selected by a visiting
group of Texas A&M stu
dents. Texas A&M Mothers’
Clubs and Texas A&M Clubs
sponsored the contestants.
Now, contestants are spon
sored by various University
organizations, Mothers’ Clubs
and professional clubs in the
area.
The originator of the Cot
ton Pageant, Dr. J.S. “Cotton
Joe” Mogfbrd, is retired from
the Department of Soil and
Crop Sciences and lives in
Bryan.
“ The price of cotton was
low, so the community and
Texas A&M wanted to come
up with a way to boost the col-
ton trade," Mogford said.
Bockhold said the Cotton
Pageant was started to prom
ote cotton and raise funds m
send students to see how mill
ing and manufacturing hap
pened in Europe.
Now the profits are used
for agronomy societv field
trip expenses.
