Garza: Texas colleges important bridges between cultures
"The things taught in colleges and schools are not an education, but the means of education," Ralph Waldo Emerson said two centuries ago. Indeed, the test of any great institution of higher learning is whether it produces original thinkers, entrepreneurs, and those willing to look through, past and beyond to see what others do not. The University of Texas System is an institution dedicated to those ideals. Under the leadership of Gov. Rick Perry, UT System regents and campus presidents, our universities will not only be on the cutting edge of educating students in technology-related fields, they will also be a bridge of learning and understanding between the United States and our Latin American neighbors. .

Bain scans help to improve students' class work
WYOMING -- While her peers at Tri-unity Christian Elementary School were quizzing each other on spelling words one recent morning, 9-year-old Nicole Keeler ducked out of the classroom for a quick scan of her brain waves. Down the hall in the 139 Education room, technician Amy Royer attached three electrodes to Nicole's head -- one on each ear lobe and another to her scalp -- and began measuring her brain's activity. Lines skipped across the computer screen, displaying her anxiety levels, degree of attentiveness, strength of memory and other brain functions. The graphs provide powerful information, both for Nicole and her teachers at Tri-unity, 2104 44th St., in Wyoming. They are the keys to success in the classroom and beyond, according to psychologists Tim Royer of Grandville and Brad Oostindie of Spring Lake.
