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-

ton, Agricultural Council represent

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.

Technology in 1935, a M. S. degree

land.

The larger experimental tower

cooling tower laboratory has been
enlarged to provide an 8 by 10

It is especially designed for full

in such work since 1949.

Hensarling to Lead
Teacher Discussion
Dr. Paul Hensarling of the De
partment of Education and Psy

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.”
