Eaton defends position
by SHEREE GAMBILL
Rambler Faculty Editor
Mr. Travis Eaton, professor of
sociology, has recently returned
from Indiana University where
he defended his doctoral disser-
tation.
Appearing before the graduate
committee of three sociologists
and one anthropologist, Mr. Eat-
on discussed and explained his
dissertation.
His dissertation for the Ph.D.
in sociology with a minor in an-
thropology was entitled "An
Empirical Examination of Relig-
iosity and Academic Discipline
Based Upon Two Variables, Sci-
entism and Scholarly Distance."
Behind the complex title were
many hours of preparation and
study. First Mr. Eaton sent
sample questionnaires pertaining
to one's religious beliefs and aca-
demic standing to professors at
Texas Woman's University, Uni-
versity of Texas at Arlington,
North Texas State and Texas
Wesley an.
After this pre-test which
"ironed-out many problems," Mr.
Eaton sent 700 questionnaires to
professors in eighMfifferent col-
leges in Texas, " Oklahoma, Kan-
sas and Louisiana. The question-
naires were sent to professors in
the fields of biology, foreign lan—
guage, history, psychology and
sociology. Of the 700 sent 404
responses were received.
From studying these responses
Mr. Eaton concluded that those
professors in the more scientific
fields had lower religious scores
than those in less scientific
fields.
Mr. Eaton's dissertation will
soon be sent to the Board of
Trustees at Indiana University.
If all goes well, Mf. Eaton will
soon be Dr. Eaton.

Also, the Sig Ep pledges are
planning to each donate a pint

in Fort Worth. The pledges will
donate in the name of the fra-
ternity as a worthy cause and
also raise money toward their
goal.
Sigma Phi Epsilon pledges are
Bob Burke, Mike Coffee, C. O.
Drumm, Jim McKee, Bill Owens,
David Puckett, Cary Robinson,
Richard Stroud, Kevin Tee and

They can be identified by their

Also they will have a booth set
up in the SUB for information
concerning the bicycle for inter-
ested students and faculty.

A.A.U.P. begins
active 72 seasrfn
Fourteen members were pres-
ent at the TWC chapter of
A.A.U.P. meeting Tuesday, Sep-
tember 26.
President of the TWC chapter,
Mr. Gardner Williams, gave a
report on the National A.A.U.P.
Convention held in New Orleans
last May. o
■>
The main point of business at
the national convention was the
adopting of an amendment which
stated that the A.A.U.P. wpuld
be an agent in collective bar-
gaining for college professors.
One movement which was de-
feated at the national convention
was the movement to combine
state and national dues and then
distribute the funds back to the
states for a state-level lobbying
effort.
Other business at" the local
meeting was the announcement
of the state A.A.U.P. meeting to
be held October 13-14 in Austin*.
All members who need to pay
thejrT'local A.A.U.P. dues can do
so by contacting Mrs. Carol Cor-
ley.

The next local A.A.U.P. meet-
ing is set for Thursday, October

publishing the book in England.

Stop Six, West Side, Como, San-
som Pftk, Samuels, Greenway,
and Worth Heights. The actual
tutoring is arranged in the speci-
fic area. ^

children from the first through
the fifth grades, but also a few
from the sixth and above. The
times usually scheduled are 4:00-
5:00 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday,
or Wednesday. Two persons
needed for each lesson.

underway "by October 2, 1972.1
