The Battalion Number 80: Volume 55 COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1956 Price 5 Cents Chemist From North Ireland To Talk Here A chemist from Northern Ireland will deliver a lecture here Tuesday at 8 p.m. in the lecture room of th'e Biological Sciences Building. The pub lic is invited. Dr. Ide P. Trotter, dean of the Graduate School, said. Dr. Cecil L. Wilson, the lecturer, is a member of the Chemistry De partment, The Queen’s University of Belfast, Northern Ireland. He will talk on “Ultramicroanalysis.” “In j-ecent years”, Dr. Trotter says*, it has become evident that minute quantities of some substan ces often have a profound effect on certain chemical, physical and industrial processes. Conventional c h e m i c a 1 techniques frequently failed to isolate the small amounts involved. “After much experimentation by our speaker and others great pro gress has been made in a field called ultramicroanalysis. As the name implies this is a much mm’e delicate and refined- process than microchemistry. It deals with the analjMsis of exceptionally small quantities of either known or un known substances. “Dr. Wilson will review the his tory and development of the tech- niques vised in this field. He will deal in greater detail with the work he has guided at The Qvieen’s University of Belfast which has contributed much to this new area of knowledge. In addition he will present his ideas regarding the most likely trends which may de velop in the future.” CHS, Tomball Play Tomorrow ( Consolidated’s Tigers will take on Tomball’s Cougans in a basket ball game tomorrow night in Tom ball at 8, with a “B” team game preceding at 7.

Moi’gan, president of the College, took the “pulse” of the communities of College Station and Bryan and repoi’ted to the Bx-yan Chamber of Commerce that the pulse was “strong and healthy.” The pxilse descx*ibed by him at the annual banquet of the Bryan group Tuesday night was the indi cations of the pxesent resources and wealth of this ax-ea and the “futui’es unlimited,” to which in dications point. In putting over his point that College Station, Bi’yan and the College ai'e gi'owing and will con tinue to grow, he pointed out the 55 per cent inci’ease in population dui’ing the past five years; the in crease of population, though not POSSIBLY SNOW Freezing x’ain, sleet, and pos sibly snow is forecasted for Col lege Station. Temperature is ex pected to drop to 24 degrees to night. Yesterday’s high of 71 de grees dropped to 38 degrees last night. Tmpei’ature at 11 this mq|ning was 34 degrees. quite so rapid, in College Station; the increase in the number of school-age children in the County; the inci'easing economic and cul- tui’al welfai’e of the communities; and more—all of which serves as a testament for a bountiful future. Also stressed by Dr. Moi’gan in his talk was the friendly teamwork between intei’-dependent pai’ts of the two cities and the College. In desci’ibing A&M’s place in this “futures unlimited,” the A&M pi'esident pointed out the economic, educational and cultural impact of the College on the community, and also descxnbed the dependence of A&M upon resources in Bi’yan: living quai’ters, educational facili ties fox* A&M students’ and em ployees’ childx-en, chui’ches, and othei’s. “It is evident,” he said, “that the various segments of our com munities are headed towai'd an even greater inter-dependency. . . We must keep our people infoi'med to promote understanding, to in ci’ease oui’ cooperative spirit, and to keep building a better place to live, consciously realizing that the gi’owth and development of one segment benefits anothex*.” In closing, Dr. Moi’gan said, “As we look into the future of Bryan and College Station, the Air Foi'ce Base and the educational institu tions, and agi-icultui’e and industi’y both present and futux*e, there can be but one team moving foi’wai’d with whole-heaided coopei'ation to- wai’d one common objective—the betteraient of the community—with an inci’easingly x-icher spiritual, mental and physical life for all constantly advancing us into Fu tui’es Unlimited.” CS Observers Help Close Warning Ring The selection of College Station as a site for one of the newly formed Ground Ob server Corps posts for Texas means the community will help to close the pei’imeter begun by posts opei'ating in Canada and most states along the outei’ pei’- imeter of the U.S., Col. Pei’cy Goff, tactical officer at A&M Col lege and post commander for the Gx-ound Observer Corps, has de- clai'ed. “Volunteer cooperation in this vital defense structure is urgent,” Col. Goff said, “because the GOC is a coopex*ative community pro ject requiring team woi’k between many scattei'ed towns and a filter centei’, which fox* this ai’ea is Houston, whei’e the center is be ing organized and ti’ained. “When enough local people have volunteered to help organize and defend oui' paid of this defense pattei'n, an organizational meeting will be called,” he said. “Not long ago a local release carried in con nection with“Opei’ation Sagebrush” stated a theoi’etical atomic bomber had sneaked beneath our radar and knocked out Bryan Air Foi’ce Base. This points out the urgent need for civilian manned GOC net- woi'ks.” Pei'sons intei’ested in pai’ticipa- ting in the community defense pi'o- ject should contact him, or Mi^. Homer B. Adams, Col. Goff added. Gold Medal For Sarran Aim of Bill Olin E. Teague, congress man for the Sixth District of Texas, has introduced the fol lowing bill in the Congress of the United States: “Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the -United States of America in Cong’iess assembled, That, in recognition of the valor and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty of James Edward Sax'ran, who lost his life while saving the lives of three comrades by pushing them from the path of an on-coming ve hicle and himself being crushed between it and a parked vehicle, the Secretai’y of the Ti’easury is authorized and directed to cause to be sti'uck and the Px-esident is authorized to pi'esent posthumous ly to the pai’ents of said James Ed ward Sarran a gold medal of ap- pi’opriate design with suitable em blems, devices and inscription to be determined by the Secretary of Treasury.” Sai'i’an was killed in an accident Nov. 21, while at a bonfixe guard post at West Gate.
