PAGE 4 Tuesday, April 28, 1959 Belgian Missionary Plans Campus Visit The Rev. Frank McEIroy ,Tr Presbyterian missionary to the Bel gian Congo, will be on campus .Wednesday and Thursday to speak and counsel with students and fac ulty. The Rev. McEIroy will speak at the Presbyterian Student Center Wednesday evening at 7 p.m. and will be at the YMCA Thursday morning for conversation with stu dents and staff. For the past two years, The Rev. McEIroy has been working out of the Moma station, the frontier station of the Presbyterian mis sion in the Congo, among several tribes, including the Basala, be lieved to be cannibalistic. Even among these people, he reports that Christianity is making pro gress. In 1957, for the first time since work was begun at the Moma sta tion 15 years ago, members of the tribes in the area had progressed far enough in their training as Christians to be ordained as pas tors. Most of the Rev. McElory’s time has been taken with “itineration traveling to back country preach ing points with Congolese evange lists and Session members, confer ences and training in the field for evangelists, supervision of outpost schools, office work which includes the preparation of reports to the Belgian Government and to the Board of World Missions, hand ling finances for the payment of evangelists and layworkers in the area and, if there is time, preach ing occasionally in place of native evangelists. The Rev. McEIroy also said trav- Paul Payne Elected Dairy Science Head Paul Payne, junior dairy science major from Mt. Pleasant, was elected president of the A&M Dairy Science Club for the coming- year at a meeting held last week. Other officers elected include Bill Lee, vice president; James Bennett, secretary; Ben Woolver- ton, Agricultural Council represent ative; Bob Wilson, program chair man, Joel Gambrell, social chair man; and Weems Avant, reporter. Plans are now under way for the club’s spring barbecue which will be held May 5 in Hensel Park. Each member should purchase his ticket from one of the new offi cers or the secretary at the office of the Department of Dairy Science before May 1. | I a ■ The Rev. McEIroy i ... Congo missionary eling occupies much of his time. He states he and his fellow work ers travel over almost impassable roads in a pick-up truck given him in 1953 by the men of Lockhart. The Rev. McEIroy declared that travel sometimes involved grass taller than the truck and trails in the jungle which are so narrow they can scarcely be passed. But he says it is work which he loves and the Rev. McEIroy claims to feel safer in the Congo than in American cities and traffic. This may be partially due to the fact that the Rev. McEIroy is a native of the Congo, the son of missionary parents. The mission ary is a graduate of Austin Col lege in Sherman and Austin Semi nary in Austin. He is married to the former Miss Kathryn Patton of Lockhart and the couple has three children, Da vid, 12, Mary Louise, 10, and Paul, 1. The McElroys are making their home during furlough in Mission Ranch, Austin. Aerophysics Talk Scheduled Friday An outstanding authority in the field of aerophysics will deliver a graduate lecture here Friday at 4 p.m. in the lecture room of the Biological Sciences Building. The lecturer, Dr. August Raspet, head of the Department of Aero physics, Mississippi State Univer sity, will talk on “The Philosophy of Research in Engineering.” The public is invited. He received a B. S. degree in physics from Carnegie Institute of Technology in 1935, a M. S. degree in 1940, and the Ph. D. degree in 1942 from the University of Mary land. AgronomyTeam Compete in Soil Bigger Test Tower JudgmgContest increases Capacity Five A&M agronomy students competed in a soil judging contest At Louisiana State University, Bat on Rouge, La., last Saturday. TJhey were Boyd S. Proctor of Dekalb, James C. Blue of Clifton, Larry Hausmann of Goliad, Bobby Carlile of Staton and Joseph Van Deaver of Deport.

It is especially designed for full scale experimentation and for the evaluation and development of tow er components. It has been used in such work since 1949. It is a counter-flow, induced- draft tower, equipped with a 60- Richardson Wins $300 First Award Donald L. Richardson, graduate math major from Dallas, won the $300 first award in the graduate division for his paper submitted in the seventh annual Southwest ern Student Competition sponsored by the Texas Section of the In stitute of the Aeronautical Sciences held at Fort Worth April 15-18. Ben L. Williams, senior aero nautical engineering major from San Antonio, won the $200 second award in the undergi’aduate divi sion with his paper. Danny R. Tidwell, senior aero nautical engineering major from Hearne, also entered a paper in the contest. A total of 15 colleges and uni versities were represented in the competition which was divided into graduate and undergraduate divi sions. Hensarling to Lead Teacher Discussion Dr. Paul Hensarling of the De partment of Education and Psy chology will serve as chairman of a discussion group at the annual meeting of the Texas Association for Student Teaching in Houston Friday and Saturday. Hensarling’s group will discuss the problems of proper assignment of student teachers. The Pile Lighthouse in Ireland was built by Alexander Mitchell 113 years ago. He was an engineer but blind at the time. inch, 7-blade, variable pitch fan, which is driven by a 10 horsepower motor. Two entrance bells, or noz zles, are used in determining the air flow rate through the tower. The diffuser sections attached to the entrance bells recover a large portion of the velocity pressure and distribute the air evenly at the en trance to the tower. Pressure taps are placed within the tower at de sired positions to determine the pressure gradients and the pres sure drop attributed to various components of the tower. The water entering the tower passes through sharp-edged orifice plates equipped with corner taps communicating with a mercury manometer. The stainless steel ori fices were calibrated in place and were found to yield an accurate measurement of the circulating wa ter flow rate. The tower is equipped with a spray-nozzle water distributor for normal operation. However, the tower arrangement is flexible enough for the installation of the most commonly used water distri bution systems. The cold water from the tower flows by gravity to a basin for heating and is returned to the tower by a 450 gram per minute centrifugal pump, driven by a 15 horsepower motor. Temperature measuring and re cording devices are used to indi cate that equilibrium conditions have been established in the tower before test measurements are tak en. Mercury-in-glass thermometers are used during the test period for all temperature measurements. A smaller tower handling 2 by 2 foot packing sections supplements the larger tower on research prob lems. Accounting Meet Draws Over 100 Outstanding Men Top-flight men in the fields of accounting, are on the campus for the 12th annual Accounting Con ference today. More than 100 ac countants from throughout Texas and the nation had registered Mon day morning. Vice President Earl Rudder in his welcome address pointed out that A&M belongs to the people of Texas and that its facilities and faculty are the finest. He lauded the close cooperation between the accounting business and the Busi ness Administration of the College. “The Accountant’s Responsibility in Connection With Texas Securi ties Regulations,” was discussed by Dewey Berglund of Peat, Marwick, Mitchell and Company of Dallas. “In discussing financial state ments and reports,” Berglund said, “I would like to point out to you that the independent accountants’ report, the financial statements and related footnotes must be in cluded in a prospectus of the reg istrant. “T h e prospectus requirement first became a part of the Texas Securities Act in 1957. “In addition to the accountants’ report and financial statements, the prospectus will include infor mation about the history of the company, its management, prod ucts and capital structure. Such narrative information is usually prepared by the company’s legal counsel, but the independent accountant should review it to de termine that there are no conflicts between such information and in formation included in his report or the financial statement.” (Continued from Page 1) mentarian; Roland Dommert, treasurer; Freddy D.
