'Retiring' Professor Likes Teaching,
Finds Travel Challenging Experience
by
Mary Alice King
Rambler Staff Writer
A world teacher, writer, and
traveHSr is serving as visiting pro-
fessor of sociology at Texas Wes-
leyan College.
She is Dr. Mattie Lloyd Wooten,
who was born in East
Texas and was graduated from
Sam Houston State College. She
taught school for four years before
her marriage to Charles Wooten.
After his death she resumed her
education in preparation for a
writing career. After receiving her
B.A. degree and M.A. degrees at
the University pf Texas, she took
over a temporary teaching position
at Texas Woman's University. *
However, she remained at
T.W.U. for twenty-four years and
during this time taught sociology,
was director of the Department of
Sociology, and was the dean of
women for 15 years. .
While at T.W.U., she introduced
the Cooperative Dormitory System
which enabled a girl to live on five
dollars a week by bringing food
from home. By this system many
deserving- students received an edu-
cation which they could not have
originally obtained.
During this period, Dr. Wooten
did work on her doctorate in soci-
ology at the University of South-
ern California and the University
of Minnesota. The degree was fi-'
nally conferred upon her by the
University of Texas.
Dr. Wooten offers this Advice to
would-be writers. "It is wise to
take some sociology and history
in order to better prepare yourself
to write about ot^ierfe."
Retires Twice
After retiring once, Dr. Wooten
decided to return to teaching. Her
first assignment was a two-year
contract at Austin College in Sher-
man, which ended in' a five-year
period.

she taught the undergraduate divi-
sion of social welfare.
One year latcjr a radiogram from
Hawaii led to her teaphing World

interesting and challenging point
in her teaching career.

throughout the North American
continent and visited every state
in the United States. „
She has_ traveled by bus, auto-
mobile, plane, ahd boat to Mexico,
Cuba, Europe, and year before last
to the South Pacific, visiting"Aus-
tralia and New Zealand. Last sum-
mer Dr. Wooten went to Seattle
and from there flew to Alaska,
where she spent three days in the
Arc-tic Circle.
"I felt it was very spectacular
to know that the sun had not set
for 82 days."
The country which Dr. Wooten
most enjoyed was New Zealand.
The people as well as the country,
which was perfect in itself, fas-
cinated her.
Not only has Dr. Wooten written
