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.

Du Pont group research
developed a pilot plant with
daily capacity of 100 pounds
Du Pont research has just made
available to industry what may be
come one of America’s key structural
materials, titanium metal. 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”—
