Davis Grant, county atorney, studies the script for his talk on, “Agency” while Ben Lampkin, president of the Pre-Law Society, looks for the cue to introduce the speaker. Grant’s talk was one of 13 in a “Law in Action” series being presented by WTAW. No Class Credit Given Local Lawyers ‘On The Air 9 For Pre-Law Radio Series By C. C. MUNROE If you have had occasion to sleep through your last business law class recently and haven’t been able, to get a review of the lec ture, don’t feel too downhearted for all is not lost. At least all is not lost until April 6 when a radio series currently being sponsored by the Brazos County Bar Association and the Pre-Law Society is concluded. On that day these two groups will give the last in a series of 13 quarter- hour programs heard every Wed nesday at 5:15 p. m. over WTAW. The series features members of the county bar association. Each program is devoted to some phase of law as it applies to business. For the majority of the local ^ lawyers', "the series is their first opportunity to talk on the radio and it has produced some unus ual problems. One of the hardest to overcome has been the ten dency of the Brazos County law men to read more slowly than the scripts which they use were intended to be read. Not that the local men don’t read just as well as anyone else, but they just naturally speak more slowly. As a result, scripts timed to run just 12 minutes have gone over their schedules by several minutes, causing more than a little conster nation at the radio station. The colorful side of law has been added to the series and even sea soned veterans of business law 305 and 306 will discover things about the background of law they didn’t know. On a program featuring Allen Mudgett, attorney from Bryan, the subject of negotiable instruments took a turn unfamiliar to classroom discussion when the feats of Rob- inhood in Sherwood Forest crop ped up. The tie-in between negotiable in struments, Robin Hood, and simi lar bandits concerned a scheme by travelers to carry funds in a man ner that would provide them with cash and not give the same satis faction to the robbers. Thus, ac cording to Mudgett, the first nego tiable instruments were born. The lawyers’ programs seem to cover the field from one form of looting to another. Even ad vice regarding gambling debts undoubtedly incurred someplace other than College Station—has been requested by listeners. The subject of wills, as former “B-law” students will remember was a major headache, but W. T. McDonald, Bryan lawyer and pres ident of the County Bar Associa tion, dispatched that subject in just 15 minutes on the first pro gram of the series. The idea for the local programs came from Phillip Goode, an in structor in the Business Depart ment and co-sponsor with Arthur Stewart of the Pre-Law Society. Goode, who is a vice president of the Brazos County Bar Asso ciation, read of a similar series in an article in the Texas Bar Journal.

Midway in density between aluminum and iron and with an especially high melting point, silvery-white titanium offers an extraordinary combination of strength, lightness, corrosion re sistance and hardness. Titanium is the ninth most com mon element. But it has been slow in coming into its own as a metal be cause of the difficulty of separating it in pure form from its ores. Men pictured on this page were members of titanium research team. E. L. Anderson, A.B.Ch., Brigham Young ’40; J. B. Sutton, Ph.D.Phys.Ch., West Virginia ’35; A. R. Conklin, M.S.Phys.Ch., Georgia ’40, are shown inspecting 300 lbs. of Du Ponttitanium metal sponge. Du Pont scientists first began to probe the possibilities of metallic ti tanium in the course of their long experience with the titanium oxide pigments. Their research was inter rupted by World War II. Meanwhile, the U.S. Bureau of Mines laborato ries succeeded in producing the metal for research purposes. After the war, Du Pont scientists developed a process for the produc tion of ductile titanium metal that can be scaled up to meet commercial demands. The research team that mastered the complex problem con sisted of chemical engineers special izing in design and production, as well as chemists and a metallurgist. In September 1948, a pilot plant was opened with a daily capacity of 100 pounds. Titanium metal is now being produced in sponge and ingot form. Samples are available to industrial and college laboratories with research projects in related fields. Studies of methods for forming, machining and alloying are under way. Exhaustive studies will be neces sary before the many possibilities of titanium metal can be known. Be cause of its high ratio of strength to weight, early uses may be in airplane power plants and structural parts. Its hardness and rust-resistance rec ommend it for railroad transporta tion equipment, marine power plants and propellers, and food packaging equipment. Its high melting point suggests use in pistons, and its re sistance to electric currents points to electronics. Titanium wire may be used for springs and titanium sheet for such highly stressed parts as microphone diaphragms. Your Opportunity in Research The commercial development of ti tanium metal is a typical example of Du Pont research in action. How ever, the Pigments Department, which worked out the process, is but one of the ten Du Pont manu- facturing departments. Each con ducts continuous research. Each is operated much like a separate com pany. Within these "companies”— whose interests range from heavy C.M. Olson, Ph.D. Phys.Ch., Chicago ’36, and C. H.
