Page 4 THE BATTALION Thursday, June 30, 1955 Water Conference Set in September All phases of the Texas water problem, except the legal, will be the subject of a statewide confei’- ence to be held on the A&M cam pus September 19, 20 and 21, it was announced by Chancellor M. T. Harrington of the A&M System. All interested Texans, concerned with growing water problems of the state, will be invited to attend. National authorities in engineer ing, agriculture, meteorology, chemistry and conservation will discuss phases of the state’s prob lems of management of its avail able water supply. General ses sions each morning will be followed by afternoon meetings of special ized groups for panel discussion of individual phases of the problem. Gibb Gilchrist, chancellor-emeri tus of the A&M System, who has headed the System’s Water Ke- search and Information Center, will serve as general chairman for the conference. Paul Weaver, distin guished professor of geology and nationally known water authority, will serve as program chairman. Etvens at Austin Ur. W. P. Ewens, associate pro fessor of Education and Psychol- ogy, A&M College and chairman of the Texas Committee on Educa tional Measurement and Evalua tion, is in Austin for the fourth annual conference on Educational Measurement and Evaluation. In addition to conference par ticipation, plans are to be made for a section meeting on measure ment and evaluation at the Texas Conference on Teacher Education to be held in Mineral Wells this fall. Pilot School Applications Being Taken Applications for the aerial applicator pilot school at A&M this fall now are being ac cepted. Only a limited number can be accepted, however, according to Fred E. Weick, head of the Per sonal Aircraft Research Center, who will be in charge of the school. Not more than 10 students will be admitted to the flying portion of the course, Weick said. An ad ditional 15 will be permitted to take the ground school phases. Registration will be held at 8 a.m. Oct. 81 in Room 102 of the Engineering Building- on the A&M campus. Classes will begin at 10 a.m. of the same day and will ex tend through Dec. 10. A commercial pilot’s license will be required of each person regis tering for the flying- portion of the program, Weick said. An ad ditional requirement is a minimum of 500 hours’ solo operation, with a substantial portion in airplanes under 500 hp.—-or sponsorship by a Texas Aerial Applicators Asso ciation member firm. Since the number of applicants is expected to exceed the number of students Weick’s staff can han dle, a screening board made up of representatives of the A&M Col lege System and the TAAA will choose the most eligible.
