Architects Begin
State Meet Today
Dean Raymond Reed of Iowa
State University, chairman of
the American Institute of Archi
tects Committee on Education,
keynoted the Texas Regional
Conference of Associated Stu
dent Chapters here today.
The two-day meeting also
highlights Sidney L. Katz Fri
day. Katz, affiliated with Pratt
Institute, chairs the AIA’s Com
mittee on Student Affairs.
Texas Regional Director Rus
sell King of Beaumont, architec
tural senior responsible for ar
ranging this year’s program, esti
mated between 200 and 300 stu
dents and professional architects
are attending the conference.
KING, POINTING out that
Texas is one of the few regions
taking advantage of available
funds for regional meetings, said
many students and architects
feel “the future is concerned
with the changes taking place in
the profession, in education and
in the methods of practice.”
He added the conference “is an
attempt to bring about commun
ication between the students and
the practitioners and the educa
tors, with an emphasis on the
‘and’.”
King hopes “they will estab
lish a common language with
which they may discuss the
changes that are taking place
within the profession of envir
onmental design.”
This makes the third year As
sociated Student Chapters of the
American Institute of Architects
have held a regional conference
in Texas. The 1967 meet was in
Austin with Dallas host last
year.
STUDENTS AND faculty
members participating represent
six state institutions including
Rice, University of Texas, Uni
versity of Houston, University
of Texas at Arlington, Texas
Tech and A&M. San Antonio
College also was represented.
Discussion groups will be di
rected by architectural deans
from each institution, King said.
The first regularly scheduled
meetings started today with
statements from Edward J.
Romieniec, chairman, College of
Architecture and Environmental
Design, said King.
The conference is co-sponsored
by the Texas Architect Founda
tion.
Judge Dewey Suggests Law Repeal
To IP’s, Constables At Meeting
Judge B. H. Dewey Jr. of Bry
an suggested this week the pos
sibility of repealing a law requir
ing a transcript of criminal cases
to the Grand Jury by justices of
the peace.
Dewey, a keynote speaker for
the three-day Justice of the
Peace and Constable School here,
noted only two jurists in ovei;
100 attending the seminar-type
program had ever provided the
transcript.
“Maybe we ought to get it
repealed,” he challenged. He
added it would save “much work
for our secretaries” if it is not
effective and will not be used.
Dewey also pointed out that
the “people’s court,” as he re
ferred to the JP system, provides
certain forms of security through
small claims.
He said persons with claims of
less than $200 for labor and $150
on merchant’s goods — for a $5
fee — can save costs of collec
tion agencies and others by get
ting a judgment resulting in a
lien on an individual’s property,
subject to execution, for 10
years.
Ira E. Scott, chief of A&M’s
Police Training Division, a unit
of the Engineering Extension
Service, praised this year’s
school. He called it “one of the
best” with 103 jurists and con
stables registered.
The school was sponsored by
Scott’s division and the Justice
of the Peace and Constables As
sociation of Texas.
'Air Taxi’ Role
i Envisioned For
Business Jets
Airways of the future may
contain a small but versatile bus
iness jet proposed by an aero
space engineering major who
graduates next January.
The “businessman’s air tax”
conceived by Michael B. Walsh
of Mons, Belgium, incorporates
several recently developed com
ponents for “postage stamp”
take-off and landing capabilities.
With two presently available
upgraded jet engines, Walsh’s
air taxi would have sufficient
thrust for vertical take-off and
landing, he believes.
This advantage alone makes
the aircraft economically sound,
Walsh suggests, since it would
be able to arrive or depart from
any improved or unimproved
site where the pilot or passen
gers might have business.
Dr. Charles A. Rodenberger,
aero engineering professor to
whom Walsh reported this con
cept, says the plane has merit
but would be difficult to fly.
With additional development of
movable nozzles now employed in
the British Hawker Hartier
fighter, Walsh argues that con
trols for vertical takeoff and
landing modes could be extreme
ly simple.
ADDITIONAL features of the
20-foot long, eight-foot high and
15%-foot wingspan dimensioned
craft are suggested by Walsh to
make the jet light, economically
operated and moderately expen
sive to build.
The aero senior indicates
bleeding air into the second tur
bine of a current stock engine
will produce 4,000 pounds thrust
each through two independently
operated power plants.
“With an X-pattern duct sys
tem, the aircraft could be flown
at cruise speed with one engine
shut down,” he described. “The
crossover system would make it
possible to close two front noz-
gles at will and enable two rear
nozzles to propel the aircraft.”
Front nozzles of the stubby
winged jet would be tilted down
ward for vertical take-off and
landing.
“NO OTHER special controls
will be needed,” added the son of
Air Force Col. and Mrs. Howard
B. Walsh. Mike has traveled
over most of Europe and Scan
dinavia with his parents and
graduated from Kecoughtan
High in Hampton, Va.
The crossover system would
improve the plane’s overall econ
omy, range and attractiveness to
prospective customers concerned
with cost of operation.
Walsh also suggests hydrau
lically-operated tricycle gear and
inflatable rubber covers for land
ing gear doors, to reduce weight.
He noted this system is in use
on the Boeing 737.
Advantages over the helicop
ter, as the nearest competitive
means of pinpoint air travel, in
clude range, fewer maintenance
points and his design’s glide cap
ability in case of power loss,
Walsh added.
Kadets To Meet
The Flying Kadets will vote
Monday night on what type and
make of airplane they will buy.
During the 7:30 meeting in
Room 2-C of the Memorial Stu
dent Center, the club will also
discuss a new organization, di
vorcing the club from the Coun
cil and Directorate.
Secretary Don Parks said that
the meeting is open to both ex
perienced pilots and those want
ing to take lessons.
Catholics, accounting for about
one-third of the 1.5 million popu
lation of Ireland, claim the pre
dominantly English and Scots
Protestant majority discriminates
against them in jobs and housing.
