Micro Studies
Receive Aid
Of New ’Scope
One of the world’s most The samples are prepared on
powerful electron microscopes
has been added to the Elec
tron Microscopy Laboratory
at A&M for faculty and ad
vanced students to use with
research work.
The microscope was installed in
the Physics Building by Yoshi Yuki
Kamata, a representative of the
Japanese firm that manufactured
the equipment. The instrument,
valued at $40,000 has been loaned
to A&M by Fisher Scientific Com
pany.
Dr. U. Grant Whitehouse, head
of the Electron Microscopy Labor
atory, said the instrument is a
newer version that will supplement
equipment already being used by
faculty and students.
The new microscope will magnify
up to 200,000 times and will enable
scientists to analyze particles as
small as 10 atoms wide.
The laboratory, established 12
years ago, houses more than 2,000
square feet of powerful equipment.
It is the center for teaching and
research for 20 different depart
ments of the university.
Some of the research projects in
clude studies of plant and animal
diseases, effects of radiation on
animal cells, chemistry of asphalt,
soil structures and storage effects
on sweet potatoes.
“We have had a variety of re
search subjects,” Whitehouse, who
came to A&M in 1953, reported.
“The instruments can be of value
to anyone in fields of science.”
Electron microscopes work on
the same principle as the familiar
light microscopes. An electron
gun emits electrons which pass
through the specimen and a series
of lenses.
Although much work can be done
with ordinary microscopes, the
more critical the research the more
powerful the instrument needs to
be, Whitehouse added.
tiny discs, about one-eighth of an
inch in diameter. The electron
light is supplied through a tiny
wire, about one-one thousandth of
an inch in diameter.
Where an ordinary microscope
can pinpoint particles equal to one-
two millionth of an inch, the elec
tron microscope can do the same
thing with minute objects equal
to about one-20 millionth of an
inch.
Whitehouse said the new equip
ment will enable the laboratory to
handle an extra load of students
as well as acquaint them with dif
ferent types of electron micro
scopes.

Directory, ‘Hubby Guide’
Compiled By Wives Council
The Aggie Wives Council has,
for the first time, compiled a di
rectory and “Pushing - Hubby -
Through” guide for the married
women on campus.
Mrs. Bonnie Morgan, president
of the council, said that the pur
pose of the 95-page directory and
guide is to acquaint the girls with
campus happenings and make them
more familiar with the events
pertaining to them.
Mrs. Morgan added that the
council published the book to get
those married women who are not
acquainted with the organizations,
and some who may be getting
“wall-itis,” to look in the directory

section on household section. Mrs.
Morgan said the husbands name
is given with the wives.
Mrs. Morgan called special at
tention to the cover which was de
signed by Muriel Silcock, vice
president of the council. The cover
has the seal for the Aggie Wives

wives clubs by the presidents of
the various clubs.
After the married students
names were separated, a list was
made of the major field of study
and it was given to the president
of the club in that area of in

Four student senators were re
lieved of their duties Wednesday
night as a result of Senate action
upon excessive absences.
The senators who suffered ex
pulsion were Frank Hall, the
Graduate Student representative;
James Parker, junior representa
tive from the School of Agricul
ture; Albert Tijerina, junior repre
sentative from the School of Arts
and Sciences and Harry Vogt,
sophomore representative from the
School of Veterinary Medicine.
Alan Peterson, chairman of the
Senate Welfare Committee, said
that the Senate posts were just
like a job in everyday life. “If
you don’t show up for it, you get
fired,” he said.
Larry Garrett stated that the
Senate should take some of the
blame for the number of absences
because they had not discussed the
ford of Ft. Hood dropped in brief
ly for a visit while on tour of the j problem at any length and because
they failed to get a copy of the
Bryan-College Station area.
Garrison’s address prior to the
presentations dealt with the res
ponsibility of the public to support
its law enforcement agencies. “Law
enforcement unfortunately is a
negative factor in a democratic
society where the officers have a
gun and authority exceeding that
of the individual,” said Garrison.
“As a result, the officer has to be
exceedingly careful not to make a
mistake in a system where the
public is only too quick to pounce
on the agency involved,” said Gar
rison.
Garrison went on to stress that
the whole purpose of law enforce
ment was to make the state a
better place to live. Often, he said,
the people take the presence of the
law for granted, and with it the
bravery and unselfishness of the
dedicated officers that enable us
to sleep safely in our homes.
Citing the situation in Boston in
1917, when the relief shift of
policemen failed to show up on
their beats, Garrison said that ut
ter chaos prevailed until order
was restored with the help of the
National Guard and the Army.
Garrison said that the only way
that the law enforcement agencies
could increase their effectiveness
was by more public responsibility
and support. “Law enforcement
agencies know how to solve our
crimes and deter future breaches
of the law, but they cannot become
effective until the public plays its
full role too,” said Garrison.
Senate Constitution to the mem
bers at the beginning of the year.
The constitution states that
senators shall be automatically re
lieved of their duties if they fail
to attend four meetings during the
year.
The senators who lost their jobs
had not attended meetings since
the first of the year.
Town Hall Performer
Marty Robbins, “The Gun-
fighter Balladeer,” will
appear Friday at 8 p. m. at
Town Hall along with Bobby
Sikes, Don Winters and the
“Teardrops.” Activity
cards wall be accepted.
Student Body President Harlan
Roberts said there were other
senators who should be on the list
but these were the worst cases.
Greg Laughlin advocated a
tougher policy on absences because,
as he stated, “if these men knew
their positions were in jeopardy
they might do a better job. At
least maybe this way no one will
vote for them again.
In other Student Senate busi
ness, Peterson put forward the
suggestion that the Senate seek
the stoppage of sales of miniature
senior rings for women because of
the possibility of a different ring
for women as proposed by the
Senate at an earlier meeting.
Any action on this proposal was
postponed until a policy for coed
senior rings is adopted by the
Executive Committee.
Pat Nance announced that all
civilian dorms that do not presently
have a bench will receive one of
the 10 to be built by the Depart
ment of Buildings and Utilities.
The remainder of the benches
will be set up in the new corps
area.
