William T. Williams Joins
Student Publications Board
William T. (Bill) Williams, new
est member and graduate repre
sentative of the Student Publica
tions Board, is an enterprising
veteran working on his doctor’s
degree in biochemistry and nutri
tion.
After serving a three year hitch
in the Air Force he returned to
A&M in July 195G. Previously he
had been awarded his master’s de
gree from A&M in 1951. Williams
received his Bachelor of Science
degree from Southwest Texas
State College in 1947.
In 1943 a three year hitch in the
Air Force interrupted his educa
tion. During his first tour of duty
he served in Italy. After returning
to civilian life in 1946 he obtained
his B.S. degree. When' he first
came to A&M as a graduate stu
dent he was an instructor in the
Chemistry Department.
Williams did research with the
Oceanography Department up un
til the time he was recalled to
duty with the Air Force. During
this tour, he spent a year in
Greenland and was discharged last
July as a first lieutenant.
When asked about his recent ap
pointment to the publications
board, Wiliams said, “I am going
to enjoy membership on the board
and I feel graduate students
should take a more active part in
student activities.”
Williams is replacing J. W. Gos
sett. His appointment is for one
year and became effective Feb. 1
following his recommendation by
the Graduate School office.

City To Put Clamps
On Untagged Dogs
All dogs found without licenses
after Feb. 13 will be impounded,
according to Ran Boswell, City
Manager of College Station.
In order to get a license a vac
cine certificate showing that the
dog has been vaccinated this year

A recently televised program
dramatized the replacement of a
damaged heart valve with a plas
tic counterpart—a modern medical
miracle.
However, during February, Na
tional Heart Month, Americans
will be made aware, through one
way or another, that during 1955
over 32,000 Texans died from heart
diseases. Figures for 1956, not
yet complete, indicate a, rise in this
figure. Yet unknown to medical
researchers are the exact causes
of conditions which produce the
high death rate from heart dis
ease.
Texans have been ur^ed to check
regularly with a physician, follow
his advice and take advantage of
the mobile chest x-ray unit.
