of the Office of School Relations
— even with its severe funding
problems — and credited it with
the University’s high level of re
tention of minority students.
“With the exception of the ...
Office of School Relations, it
appears that undergraduate
minority recruitment at Texas
A&M has little serious adminis
trative support,” the report said.
But minority undergraduate
students aren’t the only under
represented group here. Texas
A&M is well below the state aver
age in the number of minority
faculty members.
Unofficial figures for 1982
show that the percentage of
black faculty members in Texas
colleges and universities is 4.3
percent compared to 0.6 per
cent at Texas A&M. The per
centage of Hispanic faculty
members at Texas colleges is 3.2
percent versus 2.1 percent for
Texas A&M.
“The predominance of white
faculty in general and white te
nured faculty in particular sug
gests that recruitment of minor
ity faculty members has been li
mited, curtailed, ineffectual c
due to no pool of potenti
minority faculty in some prog
ram areas,” the report said.
“Deans, department heads
and faculty must recognize that
an all-white, male faculty is not
compatible with a flagship uni
versity and cannot be accepted
in the future.”
A flagship university is one
that receives a large amount of
research grants and places many
of its graduates in powerful gov
ernment or industrial positions.
The group recommended in
creasing certain departmental
salaries to attract qualified
minority faculty, increasing the
number of black and Mexican-
American tenure-track faculty,
increasing the number of
minority administrators and de
veloping a faculty-exchange net
work with selected predomi
nantly black and Hispanic uni
versities.
In addition, the committee
suggested providing money to
recruit minority faculty in
academic departments with no
open faculty positions.
But the committee acknow
ledged that problems surround
the recruitment of minority fa
culty members.
“The identification and re
cruitment of a scholar because
of the individual’s minority sta
tus is abhorrent to many univer
sity faculty,” the report said.
“Nevertheless, in the short run,
this practice is necessary if
minority network contacts are to
be established.”
The committee stressed that
recruitment of minority stu
dents and faculty must be a team
effort.
“Without active support for
minority faculty recruitment by
department heads, faculty re
cruitment committees and the
faculty in general, there is a low
er probability of significant
progress in this area,” the report
said.
During a meeting of the
Academic Council on Wednes
day, Vandiver urged that a dis
cussion of minority conditions
within each department be held
during the first faculty meeting
this semester.
Vandiver can implement
some of the recommendations,
while more costly ones will have
to be approved by the Board of
Regents.
To coordinate minority re
cruiting — both student and fa
culty — the committee recom
mended the appointment of a
special assistant to the provost-
vice president for academic
affairs.
But with all its proposals for
change, the report acknow
ledged one slightly more en
couraging area — the Graduate
College.
“Although numbers needed
to reach representation on the
master’s and doctoral levels are
not as awesome as numbers re
quired for the undergraduate
levels, A&M falls in the under
represented group in each com
parison with the exception of
American Indian,” the report
said.
The percentage of black gra
duate students at all Texas col
leges in 1980 was 5 percent com
pared to 0.8 percent at Texas
A&M; the percentage of Hispa
nic graduate students at all
Texas colleges was 7 percent
versus 1.8 percent at Texas
A&M.
The committee acknow
ledged increased efforts in
minority graduate student re
cruitment, including faculty-
assisted trips to a number of col
leges and universities, but noted
that financial aid for
graduate students is
gible.”

School District Superintendent
Billy Reagan said he doubted
the wisdom of setting up a
“police state” through the use of
metal detectors.
“It matters not how many
metal detectors or security
guards we have unless we get
some laws enacted that make
penalties for weapons and as
saults more certain and stiffer,”
Reagan said.
HISD Security Chief Les
Burton said Wednesday as many
as 25 hand-held detectors and at
least one walk-through detector
of the kind used ini
