Natrelle Hedrick Takes
Job of J-TAC Editor
By ELAINE FINDEISEN
Natrelle Hedrick, a junior Eng-
lish major from Walnut Springs,
will become editor of the J-Tac
next semester.
She first became interested in
journalism in high school, when
she served as editor of her school
paper. She has served as manag-
ing- editor of the J-Tac this semes-
ter, after having taken Journalism
201 and 202 last year and serving
on the J-Tac staff as a reporter.
Working on the J-Tac has
brought other duties to Natrelle,
since she is now serving as report-
er of the DST social club and sec-
retary of the foods council: As
editor, she will also serve as re-
porter of the Student Council next
semester.
Natrelle, who has attended Tar-
leton since the summer of 1962,
also serves as a floor counselor in
the women's dormitory. She plans
to graduate in May of 19G5 with a
minor in French in addition to her
major in English.
After her graduation from Tar-
leton, she hopes to be able to go
on to graduate school and receive
her master's degree. She then plans
a teaching career, preferably in
a college. She has chosen college
over high school teaching for two
reasons: first, there is more aca-
demic freedom in college; and sec-
ondly, she believes that teachers
and students have a better rela-
tionship in college because the
teachers are more able to treat the
students as equals.
In speaking of newspaper work,
Natrelle says that she enjoys in-
terviewing most of all. After in-
terviewing several teachers at
Tarleton, she has found them to
be very friendly and especially en-
joys getting to know the ones that
she doesn't have for classes.
Mrs. Yearwood Has
Definite Philosophy
By NATRELLE HEDRICK
Mrs. Virginia Yearwood, instruc-
tor of psychology, came to Tarle-
ton four years ago, and since that
time she has become known to all
her students as being one of the
outstanding faculty members on
campus.
Mrs. Yearwood received her B.
S. degree from Sul Ross State
College, and her Masters Degree
in educational psychology from
the University of Texas. She-has
also done work at Tulane's School
of Social Work, the University of.
Iowa, arid San Jose State College
in Califrnla.
Before she came to Tarleton,
Mrs. Yearwood taught retarded
children in the Stephenville Public
School System. She has also taught
private kindergarten, and she
worked for a number of years for
the State Department of Public
Welfare.
Extensive Travel
Mrs. Yearwood has done a great
deal of interesting travel. In. the
summer of 1961 she spent soma
time in Curacao, an island off the
coast of Venezuela, and in Jamaica.
In the summer of 1902 she and her
son, John, now a freshman at
Tarleton, went on a European tour,
which was conducted by Dr. 0. A.
Grant. Last summer she toured
the United States, particularly h«
west coast and the northern states
She has a,lso traveled in the Cen.
• tral American countries. Her plans
for future travel are centered in
Alaska. She has had an interest in
Alaska for some time and is look-
ing forward to going there.
In commenting on the places
she has been, Mrs. Yearwood said
that the place she would choose to
live (outside Stephenville) would
be Oberammergau, a village in the
Bavarian Alps. She considers Ger-
many the most fascinating- place
in the world outside of the United
States. She took particular inter-
est in the scenery and people. The
energy and recovery of the people
since the wi>r impressed her great-
ly. ■ :■ ";
Hobbies
Mi's.' Yearwood fills, her small
amount of leisure time with gar-
dening, reading, friends, and, of
course, travel. Also, she collects
dolls from all parts of the world.
Still, after all her traveling, Mrs.
Yearwood porters Stephenville to
anywhere she has ever been. Her
opinion on Tarleton is this: "Stu-
dents have an opportunity to get
as good an education here as any-
where, and those \v>o finish here
in our major fields are definitely
well-equipped."
Talking with Mrs. Yearwood
gives one incentive and encourage-
ment. While her interests aren't
limited to the teaching profession,
she has the enviable attitude of be-
ing entirely happy in her chosen
field. She is one of few who can
make the statement that she had
rather be doing- what she is right
now than anything else in the
world. She says that she is being
paid for what she enjoys most—

Plans for Semester
Outlined by Students
NATRELLE HEDRICK
Takes Over Editorship
Since we are approaching a
crucial point, namely the end of
the fall semester, we designed our
question this week to fit that
topic. We . asked several students
"What mistakes did you make this
semester that you want to avoid
next semester?" The answers,
which varied greatly, are as fol-
lows.
FLOYD II AMITE It; I didn't
have enough time to make any
mistakes because my scredule has
been too busy.
Volunteers Needed for
Peace Corps Project
WASHINGTON, D. C- — Men
with two or more years of math
or pre-engineering training are
needed for a special Peace Corps
Public Works project hi Tangany-
ika. This project calls for 20 to
30 Peace Corps Volunteers to
work on a surveying- and road-
building program which will help
to expand the farm-to-market
road system through this East
African country. Experience sur-
veyors and highway technologists
are also needed for this project.
Special professional training
for this project will begin in late
March at Syacuse University in
New York state. In a three-month
period, Syracuse will train the
volunteers to do survey work,
photogrammatry, geodeties, and
hydrology.
"This training, coupled with two
years of practical Peace Corps ex-
perience, may well lead to many
career opportunities in surveying,
engineering, and photogrammat-
ry," said Robert L. Gale, Director
of Recruiting. "And for those vol-
unteers who come home and wish
to continue their studies," he con-
learning and dealing with young
people.
Probably the one thing most
responsible for Mrs. Yeanvood's
success as a teacher is her philo-
sophy of education: the primary
responsibility of the teacher is to
the student. While she recognizes
the importance of the responsibili-
ty to the subject, there exists a
fine line between the two that
makes the difference. She achieves
this purpose by many methods of
practical application. An example
is the fact that she spends from
one half to one fourth of her time
at school counseling students. This
is much more time than she spends
in lecture. It might be well for
those of us who are planning to
make teaching, our profession to
think her philosophy over.
tiiiued, "there are many scholar-
ships now available."
Volunteers will arrive in Tan-
ganyika in July where they will
serve as Technical Assistants. As
such, they will be assigned to
work in team sof two under the
direct supervision, of Tanganyikan
Regional Engineers. They will
conduct a reconnaissance, survey
of existing feeder and secondary
roads, indicating the exact loca-
tions and sizes of the culverts and
bridges that will be installed,
They will also participate in the
installation and erection of these
bridges and culverts.
Four to six engineers have also
been requested to provide techni-
cal guidance to the teams and to
teach engineering at the Techni-
cal College in Dar-es-Salaam. The
teams will operate in almost
every district of Tanganyika.
An important part of the Vol-
unteers' job will be to train the
Tanganyikan personnel in the
techniques of locating, Installing'
and erecting the necessary struc-
tures so that they can continue to
work on their own when the Vol-
unteers depart.
The Volunteers in this group
will carry on the work of Volun-
teer surveyors and engineers who
recently completed their two
years of service in Tanganyika.
These Volunteers, among the first
DANNY YOUNG: Next semes-
ter my policy is going to be "Loss
playing and more studying."
OT1IO SM1TII, JR.: My resolu-
tion for next semester is going to
be "More wine and song- and less
women."
HENRY BOCiUSCH: I waited
until tests were assigned to start
studying, instead of keeping- up
all along. I hope to avoid thia
next semester.
BILLY HAMILTON: I van
around too much this semester.
DEE ANNA MCCLESKY:-I'm
going to try to avoid being thirty
minutes late for dates and meals,
HOLMES ISENGE: I'm going-
to confine my "shaves" to my
face. Also, I'm going to French
class every day ne.xfc semester.

kan Government in developing

round roads.
At present, there are 100 Peace
Corps Volunteer nurses, medical

"Public Works Program will begin
in late March. In addition to tech-
nical studies, training will include

tiie culture, history and govern-
ment of Tanganyika, as well as

tory, international relations and
health problems of Tanganyika.

ing and traveling expenses,
