After a two-month* *ummer recea* the high court reconvened thia month and waded into a stack of dispute* Among inter esting rase* either decided or due to be decided are these: Water right* are involved in a ca*e filed by Southern Canal Co of Houston against the State W'ater Board. Southern Canal wanted a permit to take 2S0,110 acre feet of water per year from the Trinity River for industrial use in the Houston area. Water Board refused the request, and the company appealed to the courts. I'pat ream cities such as Dallas and Fort Worth had opposed the Houston company’s request when it was before the Board Oral arguments were centered on whether the courts have the right to reviewr Water Board dwiftion*. Supreme Court’s ruling w^ll have implications for every person in terested in the course of Texas’ water development. Keeping roomers and setting up a church in a residential area were the cause of contention in two cases from Houston. In both cases certain property owners in umvertity neighborhood* argued that other property owners were violating deed restrictions. Lower courts ruled in favor of the room renters and church builders. Supreme Court agreed to review the roomers' cases and denied a motion to force the low er court judge to move the stu dent religious center. Office seekers had their inning in the usual contests arising out of the year’s election*. George Parr, a familiar figure in the court*, won the right to a new trial in hi* effort to be certified winner In a lS»r*6 election for Duval County sheriff.

A (50-foot aluminum tower has been erected for use in the initial phase of a research project being conducted for the Texas Transpor tation Institute for the State High way Department. Charles J. Keese of the Depart ment of Civil Engineering, and re search engineer. Texas Transpor tation Institute, in in charge of the research project, an investiga tion of the effect* of highway lighting on traffic operation. Working with Keese is William R. McCasland, instructor in the De partment, and a research assistant in the Transportation Institute. Purpose of the investigation, which Keese says will probably continue for at least a year, is to determine the effect* of differ ent degrees of intersections! light ing on traffic behavior. The tower, located near High way 6, will be used to perfect the procedure for making motion pic ture* of highway traffic at night. Keese and his staff have made night motion pictures of traffic in the past. Just recently, how. ever, a new highly sensitive mo tion picture film has been devel oped, and it will be used in the tower tests to determine if the quality of the traffic pictures can be improved. While the night filming proce dure is being tested, various inter- j sectional lighting arrangements 1 will be studied on a scale model ' of an intersection. The model is s now being prepared by the Archi- I tectural Research Group of the Texas Engineering Experiment I Station. Following the initial phase of the research project, the investi gators will set up their filming 'equipment at a state highway in- ! tersection. The intersection will be lighted to provide a field lab oratory to check the conclusions arrived at from the model studies. • • * W* A**i*« likr lo r»«d about W'*» A* (tea Whan a wa# ora arrlta* rail VI S-4M10 and a«k fur thd Waa A*(ia Kdl lor A future Corps commander was born to Mr. and Mrs. I.uMuynr M Howard, '89, 4208 Aspen, Friday.
