Procedures for department head
selection, evaluation and retention
will be discussed by the Faculty Sen
ate today at 3:15 p.m. in Lecture
Hall I of the Medical Sciences Build-
ing.
Also, the academic affairs com
mittee will read a resolution to estab
lish a subcommittee to study a stan
dardized course and instructor
evaluation policy, as requested by the
Student Senate.
The Faculty Senate will hear rec
ommendations for the approval of
changes in the geology curriculum,
new undergraduate and graduate
courses and course withdrawals.
Murray Milford, Faculty Senate
speaker, says no action will be taken
on the department head procedures
proposal. The proposal would stan
dardize the methods of selecting,
evaluating and retaining depart
ment heads.
Milford says a recent poll showed
25 percent ot the faculty had no idea
how department heads were selected
in their colleges. He says selection
procedures currently are up to each
dean’s discretion.
The subcommittee to study the
standardized course and instructor
evaluation, form could be established
without formal action of the Senate,
Milford says, but the academic af
fairs committee felt the resolution
should be passed to formally en
dorse the subcommittee.
The University Curriculum Com
mittee has submitted a proposal to
add two hours to the Bachelor of Sci
ence curriculum in geology. The
proposal suggests adding 12 hours
and deleting 10 hours.
The Senate also will hear a propo
sal to revise six computer science
courses and add two new computer
science courses.
The Curriculum Committee also
recommends approval of eight new
courses in seven departments and
the withdrawal of seven industrial,
vocadonal and technical education

When the Corps of Cadets Devel
opment Council meets in fall 1985, it
will be about 40 members stronger.
The Council’s 15-member Board
of Directors decided at its Saturday
meeting to approve the nominations
to the council before the fall meeting.
Saturday’s gathering was the third
meeting of tlie Council, which was or
ganized about a year ago to oversee
scholarship funding, publicity, re
cruiting and other elements of the
Corps.
Tne Council is the youngest of 12
development committees organized
under the Texas A&M University
Development Foundation. The
Council has six committees dealing
with Corps membership, recruiting,
leadership development, scholarship,
public relations and development
and cadet life.
Permanent members of the'board
of directors include the Corps com
mandant, the Corps commander and
the president-elect of the Associaton
of Former Students. The remaining
12 board members were appointed to
One, two or three-year terms by a
steering committee in fall 1983.
W. Harold Sellers, chairman of the
board, said the jobs of the committee
range from developing the Sul Ross
Scholarship program to emphasizing
civic awareness and responsibility
among cadets.
“I want to do everything possible
to enhance the Corps of Cadets, not
only for the people here now, but for
those who come later,” said Sellers,
Class of’56.
Under the direction of the com
mittee, the number of Sul Ross Schol
arships has swelled from about 30 in
1983, to 111 in 1985. The schol
arships are granted to high school se
niors with outstanding scholastic and
athletic or extracurricular back
ground who demonstrate Financial
need. Recipients, limited to freshman
and sophomore cadets, receive
$2,400 over four semesters. There is
no obligation to the military other
than membership in the Corps.
Sellers said the board is excited
about the growing number of Sul
Ross Scholarships
“It’s very gratifying,” Sellers said.
“We can’t take all the credit, but I
think we had a hand in it.”
During its meeting, the board
heard a report on recruiting pro
grams from Albert Muller, public re
lations ofFieer for the Corps, and
Yori Escalante, public relations ser
geant.
In his presentation, Muller re
ported on the effectiveness of the
Corps’ four recruiting programs: the
Replacement Badge program, the
Christmas recruiting program, the
Aggie for a Day program and the
Spend the Night with the Corps pro
gram.
Muller said the most effective pro
gram is the Spend the Night with the
Corps program in which nigh school
and college students interested in the
Corps visit the campus and spend the
night with cadets. About 95 percent
of the people who participate in the
program join the Corps, Muller said.
“There’s one heck of a lot of moti
vation that’s flowing,” he said. “It just
grabs them. This, right now, is our
best recruiting program.”
Col. Donald L. Burton, Corps
commandant, also praised the Spend
the Night with the Corps program.
“The program is good,” he said.
“It’s more than just spending the
night with the Corps. They go to
school events, they go to classes, they
go to labs, and they see more than
just the dorms and the quadrangle.”
Muller also thanked the board
members on behalf of the Corps for
their help and encouragement.
“The Corps Development Council
means so much to us as cadets, and
we never get to say enough,” he said.
