Three vacancies still remain on
the 9-man bus for the Spanish
Club field trip during the Easter
holidays.
Students of Latin American his
tory and economics and members
of the Spanish Club will leave for
a sight-seeing tour to Monterrey
and Saltillo, Mexico, March 29 and
return April 2, according to Dr.
J. A. Dabbs, associate professor
of the Modern Languages Depart
ment.
A $25 deposit is required to
cover travel and room expenses,
he said. Meals will be extra.

Last Nov. 23, while thousands of
college students and friends were
dreamily watching the annual Tex
as Aggie bonfire consume itself
in multi-colored waves of burning
gases, several men were busy at
work near it. The men, headed by
an alert young scientist, were
making a very important scientific
discovery.
While the bonfire roared up
ward, sending waves of smoke and
heat into the air, the men drove a
panel truck onto the drill field
where the blaze was located. At
tached to the back of the truck was
an odd-looking trailer, consisting
of a frame of small pipes. When
the hinged mast was raised into
the air it towered 20 feet above
the nearby curious spectators. Con
nected to the weird contraption
were small half - spheres which
whirled around so fast they were a
blur.
The scientist in charge was Dr.
Arnold H. Glaser, Assistant Pro
fessor of Oceanography at A&M.
Dr. Glaser and his men were test-

ing the various temperatures and
wind currents coming from the
raging bonfire.
Their studies are carried on
under the Department of Oceam-
ography, which in turn receives
aid for certain projects from the
Air Force Cambridge Research
Center of the Air Research and
Development Command.
The mobile micrometeorological v
unit travels throughout the South
west in search of wind and
temperature data, but usually
stays within Brazos County.
Dr. Glasier and his associates
collect data about wind velocity
and temperature for use by agri
cultural agents, the U. S. Air
Force, and various other groups.
The information obtained dur
ing the burning of the bonfire was
of importance to tornado research
experts who want to know more
about the conditions that produce
whirls like the dust devils that
spring from the bonfire.
Working on airport runways,
where hot air will lengthen the
takeoff run of a plane, Dr. Glaser
has made tens of thousands of
temperature measurements with
the mobile unit. He finds that,
contrary to expectation, air temp
erature above a runway is usually
cooler than that over surrounding
terrain.
“The air doesn’t know its own
temperature,” he said.
The traveling lab also gathers
information important to agricul
ture, and has conducted experi
ments with irrigation research.
Evaporation and transpiration pro
blems can often be solved by the
use of data obtained with the
small-scale laboratory. E. R. Lem
on, a soil physicist, works with Dr.
Glaser in most agricultural experi
ments.

Three men are' usually needed
when the mobile micrometeoro-
logical unit makes an outing in
search of information. They re
cord wind changes and keep the
instruments working. Temperature
changes are giaphed automatically
by an instrument that measures
and records the temperature once
a second.
Should a white panel truck with
an odd-looking trailer approach
the bonfire next year, it’s probably
not a squad of University of Texas
saboteurs; Dr. Glaser may have
decided to return for more mete
orological information.
Before coming to A&M three
years ago, Dr. Glaser worked for
the Brazilian Air Force. He has
done micrometeorological research
with the University of Wisconsin.
His B. S. and M. S. degrees were
obtained at the University of
Washington; his Sc. D. was acquir
ed at Massachusetts Institute of
Technology.
Kiwanis Club Host
Three CHS Boys
Three Houston Fat Stock Show
winners and their instructor were
guests of the local Kiwanis Club
at their luncheon Tuesday noon.
The students, Bill Kavanough,
Mike Walton and Keith Kidwell,
all attend A&M Consolidated High
School and were the guests of Col.
Ralph M. Davey.
Kidwell placed first in the
junior fat lamb show and won a
blue ribbon plus $15.
Kavanough placed fifth in the
Holstein heifer Scramble contest.
He was awarded a red ribbon and
$5.
Walton placed fourth with his
Berkshire sow in the junior open
breeding show. He was awarded
a pink ribbon and $6.
The students were accompanied
at the Kiwanis luncheon by A. J.
Jumper, vocational agriculture
instructor at CHS.

C. Doak of the Biology Depart
ment, was chosen best speaker at
the third weekly meeting of the
A&M Speechmasters Group last
night in rooms 2A, 2B of the Me

which future speakers need to
know about etiquette at meetings
and banquets.
Toastmaster for the meeting
was Eddie Thorpe and general
evaluator of the meeting was Bill
