Tower left
office for
SMU post
WASHINGTON — Former Sen.
John G. Tower said Wednesday he
has quit as a U.S. arms control nego
tiator to teach at Southern Methodist
University and to explore various
business opportunities.
“I have found my work challeng
ing, engrossing and gratifying,”
Tower said in a statement. “I have
been privileged to be associated with
the best professional team in the
arms control business.”
Tower was appointed by Presi
dent Reagan 14 months ago to han
dle negotiations with the Soviets in
Geneva on curbing long-range nu
clear weapons. Ambassador Max M.
Kampelman was in overall charge.
The talks recessed last week in
near deadlock.
U.S. officials said on Monday that
Tower had decided to resign for
personal family reasons and also be
cause he found the job dull.
His statement denied he was quit
ting “due to frustration with the sub
stantive progress” in Geneva. “The
negotiation of an arms control
agreement is, by nature, a complex,
lengthy and difficult process which
requires a great deal of patience,”
Tower said.

A&M uses computer link-up
to aid rural teachers, pupils
University News Service
A researcher in Texas A&M’s Col
lege of Education is testing an exper
imental computer link-up with el
ementary teachers in rural Texas
school districts to determine how
well they are using special training to
help underachieving students.
The network is the first of its kind
in Texas and one of a handful across
the United States to help teachers
solve problems and learn new teach
ing strategies by communicating
with experts and each other through
a computer.
Dr. Clarence J. Dockweiler, asso
ciate professor of education curric
ulum and instruction, is testing the
pilot project on 30 teachers from
eight small school districts in South
west and East Central Texas. The
project is funded by a federal grant
administered by the Coordinating
Board of the Texas College and Uni
versity System.
To launch the project, the teach
ers attended an intensive two-day

workshop at A&M in January on
helping underachieving students
who have difficulty learning math
ematics.
When the workshop ended, part
of the group was sent back to their
schools with small, portable comput
ers to communicate with Dockweiler
about the results of the training.
Dockweiler said a major problem
with much of the in-service training
that teachers often receive is the lack
of follow-up study to see how useful
it is or whether any students ultima
tely benefit.
To monitor what happened after
the January workshop and to pro
vide further assistance to the teach
ers, Dockweiler split the teachers
into three groups of 10, designing a
separate communications plan for
each group.
One group is to correspond with
Dockweiler by mail and two groups
have been equipped with the com
puters. Of the two groups with com
puters, teachers in one group will
communicate only with Dockweiler,
while teachers in the other group
will communicate with Dockweiler
and other members of their group in
a sort of specialized electronic bul
letin board through which they can
share problems and successes.
