A&M dean will head study
of school training program
By April Coventry
Reporter
The dean of Texas A&M’s Col
lege of Education will chair a Texas
Education Agency committee
formed to study the content of a
management training program for
school administrators.
Dr. Dean C. Corrigan said the
committee, formally dubbed the Ad
visory Committee for General Man
agement Training, was formed to
discuss the content and procedures
of the program, which was required
by House Bill 72, a sweeping educa
tion reform bill.
The program will include instruc
tion in areas of management skills
and techniques needed for proper
school administration, such as orga
nization, personnel management
and accounting.
Before making recommendations
to the Texas Board of Education,
Corrigan said the committee will
study its task. The committee is con
sidering initiating a four-year pro
gram to spread out the extensive
training, he added.
It will meet with representatives
from the central education agency,
other universities, and school dis
tricts, as well as with management
trainers from professional organiza
tions and private businesses.
The committee is meeting with
members of the business community
because schools want to be run more
professionally, he said, and the man
agement of business organizations
will give the program input on the
content of training courses.
The committee, which will meet
every two or three weeks to deter-
Dean C. Corrigan
mine specific program content,
hopes to submit a proposal to the
board before this summer, Corrigan
said. The committee will meet on
March 12 to begin developing a plan
for the program.
The program will be required for
public school administrators begin
ning with the 1987-1988 school year.
There are 13,000 supervisors in the
1,089 school districts in Texas.
The committee’s dilemma, he
said, is determining how to develop
a quality program that will serve
large quantity of people.
The administrators are at
ent levels in ability and are inawii)
variety of work settings, Corrigj
said, and the program must accot
modate each of them.
Corrigan said he accepted tli
challenging position because
looks at leadership roles as a respo:
sibility of the profession and beam
it is a credit to the University.
The committee will include b
Darrell T. Piersol, director of lli
governor’s executive developme:
program; Leroy Deanda, director
training of City Public Services
San Antonio; and Dr. Rosalie
Blaylock, Manager of Business Rel
lions and External Affairs of Amei
can Telephone 8c Telegraph in Am
tin.
The committee also will indue
representatives involved with pubt
schools, which is important, Corr
gan said, because the views of thm
who will be affected by the plana,
important.
These representatives includeD:

Hostels provide low-cost way
for travelers to meet people
By Sheryl Taylor
Reporter
In 1909, Richard Schirrman, a
teacher from West Germany, and his
school group were hiking in the
mountains when it began to rain.
They knocked on the door of a
nearby castle, asked to stay over
night, and the “hostel” movement
was born.
The hostel experience is a unique
and inexpensive way to travel in the
United States and Europe.
“Hosteling is spending a night or
two in a household-type structure,
sharing in conversation and activities
with people from other countries
and backgrounds,” said Morty Rich,
Bluebonnet Council treasurer.
The Bluebonnet Council is one of
three geographic councils in Texas,
said Sherman Frost, A&M coordina
tor and College Station council
chairman. It consists of 47 counties
in the Houston area and includes
College Station.
San Antonio, Houston and El
Paso are the three hostel sites in
Texas, and the council is working on
hostels in Galveston and
Brownsville.
The American Youth Hostel, Inc.,
a non-profit membership organiza
tion, was founded in 1934 by two
American school teachers, Isabel
and Monroe Smith. They estab
lished the first American youth hos
tel in Northfield, Mass.
Headquartered in Washington,
D.C., the AYH is a United States af
filiate of the London-based Interna
tional Youth Hostel Federation. The
federation is made up of more than
5,000 hostels in 64 nations.
Toby Pyle, marketing and public
relations assistant for AYH in Wash
ington, said the organization re
cently expanded its regional offices
and opened three offices in Texas.
While the European hostels are
publicly funded, all the U.S. hostels
are privately funded by donations
and membership sales. Rich said.
“The idea of hosteling, or AYH, is
to promote international under
standing by providing a place where
stay and
people can stay
meet people
from other countries and various
areas of the United States," Rich
said.
Frost said the Bluebonnet Council
is trying to develop hostels for the
Gulf Coast area.
“We know hostels along the Gulf
Coast will be successful because peo-
“The idea ... is to pro
mote international under
standing by providing a
place where people can
stay and meet people
from other countries. ”

spokesman
pie in Texas want to go to these fa
cilities,” he said.
The Houston hostel is called
Perry House. It has 30 beds with
separate male and female dormito
ries, a full dining room, a fully
equipped kitchen, showers and a pa
tio garden. The Perry House is near
the museum district, the Texas Med
ical Center, the Houston Zoo and
several other sightseeing attractions
in Houston. The people that pass
through the Houston hostel are
“usually not from the United States
and the irony of it is that two out of
10 may be from the States, but the
overnight residents are mainly for
eign students,” Rich said.
European hostels are usually dor
mitory-style accommodations and
are cheaper than their American
counterparts, which cost $4 to $10 a
night, Rich said. The hostels are su
pervised by a person residing in the
building and operate under a self-
help system. The hostelers, not lim
ited by age, provide all their own
services, allowing the hostels to be
inexpensive. Overnight guests are
expected to do their own housekeep
ing, Frost said.
“Hostels are not really a place for
transient people that just want a
place to stay,” Frost said. “It is a
place where folks from all overi
country who are usually travelinj
a less commercial or traditional fav
ion can stay.”
Hosteling is a worldwic
movement that anyone from i
countries of all ages can join. I
joining AYH, each member get!
handbook and a pass allowing enr
into the United States and Europti
hostels, Frost said. There is nos;*
cial criteria for membership, buu
individual’s membership fee df
pends on his or her age. Thoseintd
ested in AYH membership can pd
chase their passes from the Te:
A&M Study Abroad Office.
Frost and Rich are also involved!
the World Adventure Travel Pnj
gram, which provides worldwideil
tivities for groups of AYR inembd
to visit historic sites and meetpeopj
from all over the world in youth tel
tels. About 45 different trips ij
planned and about 1,000 peopj
travel each year, Rich said.
“We need leaders for these tr;:j
badly,” Rich said.
