Teacher Aide
Role Deified

PR ESS A 5 SOC I AT 10 N
Washington, D.C.—The teach-
er needs a “Girl Friday” too—
and increasingly is getting such
aides to help with nonteaching
classroom chores.
The teacher aids, says the
National Education Association,
is becoming an integral part of
the education program in many
school districts. Such aides re-
lease the teacher from non-
instructiosnal duties to concen-
trate on his primary respon-
sibility—helping your child to
learn.
A recent report to NEA from
the State of Florida revealed
several examples of how aides
can be useful in giving teacher
more time to instruct your
child.
‘Almost 1900 aides are em-
ployed in Florida this year at
every educational level from
kindergarten through junior
college. Most, however, work
in the elementary schools.
What does a teacher aide do?
Everything from collecting the
lunch money to monitoring the
playground.
Some are volunteers and un-
paid, although the majority re-
ceive salaries. Some aides are
learning themselves. For ex-
ample, in one district, fresh-
men and sophomore junior col-
lege students enrolled in intro-
ductory education courses serve
four hours each week in a local
elementary school, observing
and assisting the instructional
staff. The idea: to give college
students a real picture of ac-
tual school practices, as well as
to help the teachers in the class-
room.
In another county, tne teach-
er aides are themselves second-
dary-school students enrolled in
the Neighborhood Youth Corps.
Enrollees in this program are
young people aged 16 to 21 who
are working toward a high
school diploma and whose fi-
nancial need qualifies them for
this program. In addition to as-
sisting classroom teachers,
they serve as school library
aides, guidance office clerks,
office clerical aides, and school
lunch workers.
A more traditional program
in another Florida county util-
izes aides in a variety of roles.
Every primary teacher who is
assigned to a school which
qualified under Title I of the
Elementary and Secondary
Education Act of 1965 has been
provided the services of a full-
time aide. Among the aides’
duties are managing the
physical orderliness of the
classroom, serving as clerical
assistants, helping to supervise
children on the playground and
in the lunchrooms, caring for
materials, and working with in-
dividuals and small groups un-
der the teacher’s supervision.
Some parents wonder wheth-
er an aide system would take
over functions they want a
regular qualified teacher to per-
form for their children. Regula-
tions like those in Florida rule
out any such possibility. Rules
there stipulate that no aide may
instruct pupils in any subject,
assume responsibility for the
class, grade papers which re-
quire subjective evaluation by
es on papers, tests, or in a sub-
the teacher, assign actual grad-
ject area, administer discip-
line or conduct special classes
for exceptional groups.
The responsibility of the
teacher aide is to assist the
teacher—not to replace him.

Austin.—Department of Pub-
lic Safety estimates that 41
persons will die in traffic acci-
dents on Texas highways during
the upcoming three-day Labor
Day week end.
“The current traffic trend in-
dicates that Texas is headed
for its third straight record
high in terms of fatal acci-
dents,” says Col. Homer Garri-
son, Jr., DPS director. “At the
present time, we are approxi-
mately 15 per cent ahead of the
same time in 1965, and we are
still faced with the four months
of the year which generally
produce the most deaths.”
Garrison points out that:
“More people are killed in Tex-
as each year in traffic than are
killed in all the United States
by murder, and the deaths are
just as senseless, as needless
and as tragic, but not nearly
as well publicized.”
He analyzed the reasons citi-
zens have failed to take posi-
tive action in traffic safety:
“Psychologists say that one
reason ... is a lack of per-
sonal identification with the
problem. It might behoove each
driver in our state to stop and
consider that he has less than
a 50-50 chance to go through
his driving career witout be-
ing involved in a traffic mis-
hap.”
In an attempt to cut back on
the number of accidents and
deaths during the Labor Day
week end, the DPS will con-
duct its “Operation Motorcide.”
Approximately 150 uniformed
officers from other DPS serv-
ices will be on the road to sup-
plement the Highway Patrol.
To call public attention to the
problem, each traffic death will
be tabulated and the totals will
be announced three times daily
in Austin.
Texas Highway Department,
Texas Safety Association, Texas
Council of Safety Supervisors
and Texas. Motor Transporta-
tion Association are joining
forces to help the DPS.
ELECTION SYSTEM UPHELD
Seventh Court of Civil Ap-
peals at Amarillo upheld the
Texas “closing primary” elec-
tion system, holding that mem-
bers of one party cannot vote
in the primary of another.
Court reversed the district
court ruling that would have
jpermitted to stand 71 votes of
Republicans in the second
Democratic primary for a Pam-
pa judge.
State Democratic Executive
Committee had filed a brief
urging the court to uphold the
closed primary system.
FUTURE PARKS
State Parks ,and Wildlife Com-
mission next (month will offi-
cially review proposals to pur-
chase more than 100,000 acres
of land by the year 2000.
Preference reportedly would
be shown to parks connected
with water recreation, those
near big city areas, and sites
of statewide significance, in-
cluding historic sites.
Gov. John Connally has given
his strong backing to a mas-
sive parks-acquisition program.
At one time, he indicated he
was thinking in terms of recom-
mending a $25-$50,000,000 expen-
diture.
Plan evolving undoubtedly
will be the largest in history
—to provide more room to romp
for recreation-minded Texans.
COLLEGE RONDS
Texas colleges slowly are
selling their building bonds au-
thorized by the constitutional
amendment raising the ad va-
lorem tax to 10 cents-per-$100-
valuation. But there’s still $18,-
710,000 worth to go..
Issue started at $33,420,000. At
end of the regular bid-taking,
Texas Tech and the University
of Houston sold their $7,000,000
worth. Then, as a result of an
exclusive option given a New
York syndicate, four more
schools—Texas Southern, Texas
Woman’s, Lamar State and Pan
American—sold their bonds, a
total of $7,710,000.
College officials now are go-
ing out on their own to sell the
remaining $18,710,000 worth of
bonds. It’s hoped that local
backers will buy them, so the
colleges can proceed with con-
struction to meet the mounting
demands of college enroll-
ments. Problem is that inter-
est is held to 4 per cent, which
is below present market.
SHORT SNORTS
Governor Connally approved
applications for $893,881 in
grants under Federal Elemen-
tary and Secondary Education
Act of 1965 for pilot programs
relating to supplementary learn-
ing centers for talented elemen-
tary and secondary pupils.
A three-year U. S. Public
Health Service grant of $267,734
has been presented to the Tex-
as Department of Health for
the control of leprosy — which
is on the increase in the state.
Governor Connally announced
more than $2,000,000 in Neigh-
borhood Youth Corps grants for
San Saba, Cherokee, Harris,
Limestone, Taylor and East-
land Counties; Burkbumeft and
San Angelo; Southwest Texas
State College and West Texas
State University.
Texas Parks and Wildlife
Department has announced that
Garner State Park is back in
operation, despite record high
Water from the Frio River that
damaged a few shelters.
Forty-one cases of paralytic
polio among pre-school and in-
fant children (none of whom
were fully immunized) have
been reported to the Depart-
merit of Health to date.
Governor Connally appointed
John L. Paxton of Fort Worth
as chairman of the state Unit-
ed ations Day, to be observed
on October 24.
Texas Highway Department

Kingsville.—mere is nothing
that can cause a coach to have
nightmares like a combination
of a rugged schedule and an
inexperienced squad. While he
doesn’t publicly admit to hav-
ing nightmares, Texas College
of Arts and Industries Football
Coach Gil Steinke has all the
necessary ingredients.
Steinke has what is probably
the most inexperienced squad
he has had in a decade and
faces one of the toughest sched-
ules in his coaching career at
A&I.
With an improved Lone Star
Conference competition and
three top intersectional games,
including McNeese (La.), Los
Angeles State, and Trinity Uni-
versity, Steinke muses, “We
are going to have to be pretty
good just to keep from look-
ing bad.”
Still, the veteran mentor
looks ahead to the upcoming
season and the biggest rebuild-
ing job in recent years with
enough enthusiasm to com-
ment, “I think we might sur-
prise some folks.”
Three starters are returning
in the offensive line and the
biggest headache for Steinke
•and his staff here is a lack of
.depth. End Dwayne Nix (6-0,
.180), Kingsville sophomore let-
terman and a top notch pass
receiver is returning with mam-
moth tackle Eugene Upshaw
(6-5, 60), a two year letterman
from Robstown. These two and
letterman guard Bill Pettijohn
(6-2, 200) from Boling provide
the experience in the line.
Line prospects from among
the squadmen include tackles
Fred Ekmark, (6-1, 210), a mid-
term freshman from San An-
tonio (Jefferson); and letter-
man Jerry Hajovsky (6-4, 240)
who saw defensive action last
year. However, Hajovsky in-
jured his back during the sum-
mer and is doubtful as a re-
turnee.
Transfer Butch Riley from
Rice will probably see action
at the other guard slot. The
6-1, 2-15 lb. sophomore from
Ingleside turned in some hard-
nosed play during spring drills.
Based on spring training, an-
other newcomer will see action
at center. Doyle Samuels (6-1,
215), a .mid-term freshman
from Houston (Jefferson Davis)
made a favorable impression
on the A&I staff during spring
drills and could start.
The defensive unit of the Ja-
velinas with eight returning
regulars should be a bright
spot in the 1966 campaign.
While depth is also a problem
with the defensive unit, the
big concern is finding a defen-
sive end to replace Wilburn
McDonald.
An experienced defensive
line is returning and the entire
defensive unit has the poten-
tial to develop into one of the
better groups that A&I has had
in recent years, according to
Steinke.
Spring training did not turn
up any unexpected talent to re-
place the likes of All American
quarterback Randy Johnson,
now with the Altanta Falcons;
halfback James “Bear” Brown,
who was the leading rusher of
the LSC in 1965; and defensive
end Wilburn McDonald, all of
whom graduated, along with
seven other seniors, all start-
ers.
If everyone expected turns up
in camp Sept. 1 for the open-
ing of drills the Javelinas will
have a nucleus of 15 returning
lettermen. And the roster is
anything but loaded with all
stars.
Defensive guard Carl Smith
(6-0, 205), a two year letter-
man from Corpus Christi (Car-
roll) and James Hill (6-3, 190),
two year letterman from San
Antonio (Highlands) an all LSC
defensive choice in 1964, are
the only all conference players
on the squad.
The offensive unit which
gainst the A&I exes.
The loss of letterman line-
returns only four starters from
1965 is the biggest concern of
Steinke and his newly organiz-
ed coaching staff of K. Y.
Owens, backfield coach; Pete
Murray, line coach and Ken
Kelley, end coach.
At the end of spring training
a quarterback had not been
found and the job is still a
toss-up; probably between new-
comer 'Swede Carlson (5-10,
175) from Blinn Jr. College,
and returning letterman Terry
Oglesby (6-0, 195) who missed
spring training. Oglesby play-
ed three years behind Johnson
and also saw action as fullback
and end.
In the backfield two year let-
terman Herb Pennick ,(6-0, 190)
from San Antonio (Fox Tech)
is returning with outstanding
ability and should be the top
running back. Sophomore let-
terman Dennis Deville from
Uvalde has good speed and is
described by Steinke as “. . .
a tough runner.” No one has
yet tied the wingback spot
down and it will be up for
grabs with the opening of fall
drills.
Experienced defensive half-
backs James Hill and Freddy
Teer (5-9, 170) of Taft will pro-
bably be joined at safety by
redshirt Larry Pullin (5-11, 175)
of Nixon. Pullin intercepted
two key passes in the annual
spring game and earned hand-
some returns of 72 yards a-
backers Weldon Wilson and
Marcos Capetillo leave the line-
backer spots with no experienc-
ed depth. Wilson received a
neck injury and Capetillo lost
out to grades.
This leaves the linebacking
in the hands of Pasadena jun-
ior Jerry Gates (5-10, 190) who
is a two year letterman, and
squadman Tony Langfeld.
Langfeld, from D’Hanis, saw
limited action last year at full-
back because of a pulled mus-
cle but impressed A&l coach-
es in the spring with his de-
fensive ability.
'Steinke indicates that some
of the incoming freshmen will
also be seeing duty this fall.
“There is a lot of them com-
ing in and they, are going to
be good prospects because
they have to be,” he says.
