Researcher to chair space commission
By CHERYL HELLER
Reporter o/THE BATTALION
Oran Nicks, a research engi
neer with the Texas Engineering
Experiment Station (TEES), has
been elected chairman of the
Texas Space Commission, and is
currently serving as one of two
American judges in an interna
tional glider competition.
Nicks will work on a nine-
member non-profit committee
with the Texas Department of
Commerce to expand the state's
aerospace industry infrastruc
ture. The commission, which was
created in 1988, received no
funding until this year, when it
was given $100,000 from the De
partment of Commerce.
"Gov. Ann Richards has taken
an interest in space because of its
importance to industrial devel
opment in Texas," Nicks said.
"She has visited aerospace com
panies in California and other
states, going to the corporate lev
el to discuss how they would
benefit from locating in Texas."
Nicks said the goal of the gov
ernor-chosen commission is to
create new jobs in aviation, air
craft maintenance and assembly,
and space hardware and sys
tems, while establishing the
Texas lead in the industrializa
tion of space.
The commission recently un
veiled its own commemorative
Texas license plate, and profits
from the sale of the plate, which
features a prominent Lone Star
and the Earth and moon, will
fund educational programs such
as sending teachers and students
to space camp.
Currently, Nicks is in Oerling-
hausen, Germany, as one of two
American judges in the World
Class Glider Competition where,
along with experts from 27 coun
tries, he will judge 12 glider de
signs on performance, flying
qualities, weight and balance,
and structural longevity.
The contest, established in
1988, was set up in an attempt to
create a uniform glider design
for use in Olympic competition
and is open to anyone world
wide.
Nicks said the competition
was designed to reduce the cost
of sports flying equipment and
give access to a larger number of
people.
Prototype entries to the com
petition were expected from Rus
sia, Italy, the United States Ger
many, Czechoslovakia and
Poland. The high cost causes lim
ited participation in what contest
supporters feel should be a
world competition.

APA reaccredits counseling psychology program
By ROBIN GOODPASTER
Reporter of THE BATTALION
The Texas A&M University counseling psy
chology program received reaccreditation
from the American Psychological Association
(APA) this month.
"I'm not surprised, it's what we expected,"
said Donna S. Davenport, the director of train
ing for the counseling psychology program.
Davenport said this will help the counseling
psychology program's goal to turn out leaders
in the profession.
"We are trying to train leaders in the psy
chology profession," Davenport said.
"We want them to do more than set up a
private practice and make money. We want
them to be leaders in state organizations and
write books."
Bruce Thompson, head of the educational
psychology department said the counseling
psychology program is one of the strongest
programs (the psychology department) has.
"We are emerging as a national leader,"
Thompson said. "Our goal is to be excellent."
"This accreditation will draw attention na
tionally. "
Thompson said that the accreditation
process consists of three people from around
the country interviewing students, faculty, and
the dean of the respective department. If the
criteria are not being met, the department is
put on probation, or the auditors can come
back in three years.
A&M has received full reaccreditation for
the full five years, which is the highest term
possible.
Thompson said that the counseling psychol-
ogy program gets over 100 applications each
year for only 10 positions.
"The students come from all over the coun
try, and they pay their own expenses to get
here," Thompson said.
Once the students complete the program,
they have a number of options.
"They can practice psychology in universi
ty counseling centers, in private practice, or
they can work at various universities,"
Thompson said.
In addition to teaching and counseling in
university settings, graduates work in medical
settings, private practice and as consultants to
businesses.
The doctoral training program in the Col
lege of Education is one of 51 graduate psy
chology programs nationally to have received
APA accreditation.
There are four major kinds of doctoral pro
grams at A&M — clinical psychology, counsel
ing psychology, school psychology, and indus
trial psychology.
The counseling psychology program has
been APA accredited since 1982.
