long hours to act on the scores of
measures approved by committee

The Senate Had IPO Senate

by Grover C. Morris’ proposal
to set up a 3«bine River authori

These were Senate bills alone
and does not include measures
passed by the House and also pend

The House calendar' was not
quite so heavy. When it quit work
Friday, it was in the midst of
debate on a measure giving the
Game, Fish and Oyster Commis

Lynch Reports On
Tectonic Research
Underway at A&M
S. A. Lynch, head of the Geology
Department, returned last weak
from a meeting of the American
Association of Petroleum Geologist
in St. Louis, where he gave a re
port to the Research Division of
the Association on experimental
wodk in tedtiftiics done at A&M.
The project, which is being car
ried on jointly by the Texas Engi
neering Experiment Station, and
the Geology Department, will aid
greatly in finding oil.
In the project, a model of jA sec
tion of the earth is constructed.
The model is as close to the actual
density and construction of the
earth as possible. Stresses are ap
plied to points on the surface to
determine what occurs when the
earth is subjected to stresses.
The project has many practical
(applications, but its mam purpose
is to aid geologists in finding oil,
Lynch said.

For the pest five years A&M has

had the only major wind tunnel
in the colleges of the southwest.
During thgt time it has been un
der construction, but not until last
week has that wind tunnel been
in operation. Wartime equipment
shortages were the source of the
delay in construction.
According to Edward E. Brush
head of the Aeronautical Engi
neering Department, a month of
carefar taldiilations and calibra
tion mast pass before the tunnel
can be used for research pur
poses. Trial runs last week pro
duced speeds of approximately
60 mph abd it appeared that con
siderably higher speeds would
be possible.
The tunnel, located at Easter
wood airport, is over a hundred
feet in length and is operated by
a 1500 horsepower hiotor.
Attached to this electric motor,
which is fated at a continuous
1000 horsie-power, is a four-blade
war-surplus airplane propeller that
rapidity drjaws air through the tunj-
nel. These blades were originally
16 feet long but had to be cut to
a length qf 12 feet-four inches to
fit the diameter of the end of the
tunnel. ,
Shaped somewhat like an hour
glass lying op its side, the tunnel
narrows to a seven by ten foot
rectangular section in the center,
fit is in this part that the model
planes arb balanced where the
wind blows the strongest.
“The main use of a wind tun-
nel,” says Brush, “h to evaluate
new plane designs before build
ing them, and to do research ill
all branches of aerodynamics.”

NORTH TEXAS EXPANSION
BILL PASSES COMMITTEE j <
AUSTIN, Tex., March 24 <A>>—
Passage of a bill to separate North
Texas State Teachers College from
the state teachers college setbp
was recommended Monday ni^ht by
the Senate Education Committee.
The measure by Senator ;R.; L.
Proffer of Justin went to the cal
endar, with a “do pass” tag by
unanimpus vote. It had originally
been scheduled for a hearing be
fore the State Affairs Committee,
but was transferred to education.
Proffer was the only witness
appearing at the hearing. No op
position wa!s voiced.
He told the committee that the
Denton school has expanded be
yond the point where it is mere
ly a teacher training institution.
He said he believed it would be
able to serve better with a separate
governing board. If the bill is
passed, the school’s name would
be changed to North Texas State.
The bill would become effective

swimming meet.
A long! narrow corridor on one
side of the swimming pool in the
new $7,000,000 Dillon Gymnasium
has three airtight windows for
pictures qf underwater action.
S menus were set up behind the

they hit the water and finally un

the surface.
- NBC televised the meet, won by
Army, 43*33.
The value of a wind tunnel is
evident when it is realized

‘ dollars. Though some wind
tunnel models are very expensive
ne high as $250,000~-they effect
a considerable protection for the

investment;
Aero scientists prefer to discov

in the tunnel, than to be faced with
the fault while in actual flight,
