Target of the newest Washing ton protest was what the State De partment called “an offensive bro chure” seeking to link this country with violence in Havana Oct. 21 in which two persons were killed and 45 injured. It was the second time in two weeks this country has protested Cuban charges that the damage caused by U.S.-based planes which Cuba said dropped not only leaf lets but live bombs. Cuban Ambassador Ernesto Di- higo, called into the State De partment to receive the statement, said the brochure “contains nothing against the U. S. government.” An earlier protest was handed to Cuban officials in Havana Oct. 27, after Castro charged in a speech that the United States did nothing to stop bombing a de fenseless nation. The 12-page brochure shows a photograph of two planes in the air and is captioned “as in Pearl Harbor.” It shows also photos of wounded men, women and children, and quotes the FBI in Miami as reporting the aggressors took off from Florida bases and returned there. The FBI has quoted Maj. Pedro Luis Diaz Lanz, former chief of Castro’s air force, as saying he had piloted a plane over Cuba but had dropped only leaflets. Philosopher Talks At Chapel Meeting Dr. R. A. Tsanoff of the Uni versity of Houston Department of Philosophy, one of the nation’s top philosophers, spoke Monday night in the Interfaith Chapel. His subject was “Modern Criti cal Thought and Our Traditional Spii’itual Foundations.” Dr. Tsanoff has served a num ber of years as the resource per son with the Student Conference On National Affairs and also has appeared on other A&M campus program^. The program was sponsored by the B’nai B’rith A&M Hillel Foun dation, the Henry Coh^n Interfaith Fellowship Award and the Chapel Committee. SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS: THE MEN BEHIND THE HEADLINES NAA’s On-Campus Interviews Nov. 11 early every day you read of another ad vance in science . . . whether it’s a space vehicle streaking toward Venus or a sub marine gliding beneath the polar ice. These are the events that make head lines... but even as they are announced to the world, engineers and scientists are planning new and greater achievements — and research shows them the way. Scientific research always has had an important role at North American Aviation. Today, research projects are underway at more than 185 laboratories in the six North American divisions. They encompass the full scope of mod ern science. Is air stiffer than steel? Not all research has the headline appeal of a space ship or nuclear power. For example, research engineers at the Autonetics Division, which designs and manufactures space- age navigation systems, found ne\fr and different ways of building rotating bearings... and found that air is stiffer than steel for some purposes. Improved gyroscopes and magnetic recordings were important results of this research. A cigarette’s place in research Even the ordinary cigarette has a role in scientific research. Scientists at the Aero-Space Laboratories, an organization within North American’s Missile Division, use a burning cig arette in a still room to illustrate the difference between laminar flow and turbulence in the boundary layer, the very thin air space that lies along the outer skin of an aircraft or missile. This research is part of a program to find ways to protect missiles, satellites and space ships from burning when they re-enter the earth’s atmosphere. Toward the conquest of Space The Rocketdyne Division has designed and built the bulk of today’s operating hardware in the high-thrust rocket field. Explorer I, America’s first satellite, was boosted into orbit by a Rocketdyne engine... and three-fourths of the power for Able IV-Atlas—man’s first attempt to reach toward another planet —comes from liquid-propellant engines designed and built by Rocketdyne. Researchers at Rocketdyne delve into the chemistry of propellants, the physics of engine compo nents and what happens within them, ignition of fuels, com bustion of fuels, and the transfer of heat. 2,000 mph manned weapon system The Los Angeles Division is the home of next-generation manned weapon system, the Mach 3 B-70 Valkyrie strategic bomber, and America’s first manned space vehicle, the X-15. Research engineers in this division investigate manu facturing techniques, conduct studies in aerodynamics, mate rials and processes, .and thermodynamics. They also work with physiologists, biotechnologists, biophysicists, and psy chologists to solve design problems concerning human capa bilities and limitations that arise from modern weapons and research systems. Building better Navy aircraft Analysis of aircraft carrier operation is a major research project at the Columbus Division. This division designed and built the Navy’s T2J Buckeye jet trainer and the Navy’s supersonic, all-weather A3J Vigilante. Research activities are diverse here—from how to illuminate an aircraft cockpit to developing unmanned vehicles and systems to perform within the earth’s atmosphere. Developing the peaceful atom The work at the Atomics International Division of North American is part of a large national research effort aimed at the peaceful atom. Success in the development of economical power from the atom depends on thorough knowledge in every phase of atomic power systems and their materials of construction. Atomics International research reactors are in service in Japan, Denmark, West Germany, West Berlin, and Italy. Opportunities for college graduates Today at North American there is outstanding opportunity for young engineers who want to share the unusual creative problems that face science.

Purpose of the school is to give bankers, who provide most of the operating credit for the state’s farmers and ranchers, the latest information on changes taking place in Texas agriculture and how these changes may affect their future credit and other busi ness policies. A main feature of the program this year will be a panel discus sion of economic-size farms and ranches. Panel members will pon der this question: How large does a farm need to be and what ai’e the capital requirements needed to produce a desired income for the various types of farms and ranches in Texas ? Dr. Tyrus Timm, head of the Department of Agricultural Eco nomics and Sociology, which is conducting the school, said new research developments in livestock and crops will be presented by leaders in these fields. Live ani mal demonstrations will feature the newest findings in animal and poultry husbandry. Sponsors of the school are the Texas Agricultural Experiment Council (Continued from Page 1) the funds shall be used. They stated the solicitations shall be approved annually by the council, and that no committee may solicit funds for more than a one year period without submitting an additional request to the MSC Council. Further, each student solicitor shall be provided with a letter of identification stating who he is, for what purpose he is soliciting and acknowledging the approval of the council. Finally, the council or the com mittee shall provide for an article to be published in the Texas Ag gie, stating what purpose the so licitation is to serve and what committee shall be soliciting.

(Vi .. loupots A Campus-to-Career Case History ct I found I could be an engineer —and a businessman, too” William M. Stiffler majored in mechani cal engineering at Penn State University —but he also liked economics. “I wanted to apply engineering and economics in business,” he says, “and have some ad ministrative responsibilities.” Bill got his B.S. degree in June, 1956, and went to work with the Bell Telephone Company of Pennsylvania at Harrisburg. During his first two years, he gained on- the-job experience in all departments of the company. Since June, 1958, he’s been working on transmission engineering projects. Today, Bill is getting the blend of engi neering and practical business-engineer ing he wanted. “The economic aspects of each project are just as important as the technical aspects,” he says. “The great est challenge lies in finding the best solu tion to each problem in terms of costs, present and future needs, and new tech nological developments. “Another thing I like is that I get full job-responsibility. For example, I recently completed plans for carrier systems be tween Scranton and four other communi ties which will bring Direct Distance Dialing to customers there. The trans mission phase of the project involved almost a half-miUion dollars—and it was ‘my baby’ from terminal to terminal. “Telephone engineering has everything you could ask for—training, interesting and varied work, responsibility, and reai management opportunities.” -'> j Bill Stiffler and many college men like him have found intero cbtiog careers with the Bell Telephone Companies.
