Educatiorfs Goal, Cultivate Wisdom tcontinuedt ttWe need emphasis on the development of a different kind of excellence than we are currently developing. We may need to develop better profes- sionals, better specialists, better technology, but our greatest need is to spend more time on the cultivation of Wisdom in more human benefits? ttWe should decide first that the primary goal of a good education system is to pro- duce an intelligent, civilized human being, and secondarily, and at a different time probably, to produce the specialist or pro- fessional? Kamerick said that in a free society the role of the university must first be to help students gain enough knowledge to make the wisest possible choices. One of Dr. Kamerickts favorite sports is handball. As often as possible he plays a game with several of his colleagues on a court at Fouts Field.

The General Classroom Building, scheduled to be open in the Fall of 1970, is another building in the master plan at NTSU. Regents Elect Chairman, Create 3 Doctoral Degrees Personnel, policies and practices of NTSU fall under the jurisdiction of the Board of Regents. The nine board members are appointed by the governor with approval of the State Senate for six-year terms. The board elected its first new chairman in the last 20 years in its first Fall meeting. A. M. Willis suc- ceeded Ben Wooten as chairman of the regents. Wooten had been chair- man at North Texas since the schooPs first board was formed in 1949. In an era of constantly advancing technology, a university must be a progressive, constantly changing institution of learning. In keeping with these standards, the NTSU Board of Regents established three new doctoral programs in govern- ment, sociology and library service and approved plans for the building of a multi-million dollar art build- ing. Still other progressive changes are scheduled by the board. Applica- tions for ten new degree programs have been made. The regents re- quested additional degree programs in journalism, psychology and child- hood education. North Texas is expected to have an enrollment of 20,000 students by 1975. The Board of Regents and the administration will continue its progressive theme to maintain progress and meet the educational needs of the next decade. Members of the North Texas Board of Regents are, standing left to right, E. C. Pannell of Fort Worth, Ernest Schur of Odessa, Carroll Sullivant of Gainesville, James Lawson of Dallas, Berl Godfrey of Fort Worth, and Sessions Wortham of Houston. Seated is Chairman A. M. Willis of Longview.
