Cash Scholarship Made Available * By Ralston Purina The Ralston Purina Scholarship, a $500 cash stipend, will be avail able for the 1960-61 school year, according to Dr. T. E. McAfee, professor in the Department of Agronomy and chairman of the scholarship committee for the School of Agriculture. According to McAfee, the schol arship is awarded by the Ralston Purina Co. of St. Louis, Mo., and is open to any junior majoring in agriculture. It is designed to give recogni tion and assistance to undergrad uate students in agriculture, and also to further activity and re search in this field. Selection for the award will be made in the spring, and will be based on scholastic) standing, lead ership, character, extra-curricular activities, sincerity of purpose and financial need, McAfee said. Application for the scholarship should be made through the office of the Dean of Agriculture, with the application forms completed and returned by April 15, he added. The scholarship is one of several made available annually in each of the 50 land-grant colleges and state universities in the U. S., and in Puerto Rico and Canada. ASME Members Attent Gas Meet Six members of the student chapter of the A&M American So ciety of Mechanical Engineers at tended the annual meeting of the Gas Turbine and Hydraulic Divi sion of the ASME, held in Houston last week. They acted as student aides for the meeting. They were accompanied by their faculty advisor, P. D. Weiner, as sistant professor in the Depart ment of Mechanical Engineering. Students attending were C. A. Bollfrass, C. E. Carter, A. D. Branum, O. V. Hoernig, R. L. Max well and V. E. Malanax, Eisenhower scheduled a morn ing news conference at which he was certain to be questioned about his 1%-hour meeting with Ade nauer Tuesday. The chancellor was guest of honor at a National Press Club luncheon where he was due to speak and respond to questions. Prior to the Press Club session Adenauer arranged to meet with labor leaders and with Dean Ache- son, secretary of state under for mer President Truman. Adenauer’s foreign minister, Heinrich von Brantano, said fol lowing the discussions at the White House and State Depart ment: “I am leaving the State Department convinced there afe no differences between Bonn and Washington as regards all decisive questions.” -Adenauer, on his way to Tokyo, came here to seek assurance that the President was dead set against negotiating any summit agreement with the Soviet Union at the ex pense of the position of the West ern powers in West Berlin. The 84-year-old chancellor is known to feel that the present ar rangement whereby U. S., British and French forces on the scene guarantee the independence of West Berlin cannot be improved upon by any negotiated agree ment. U. S. officials said the Presi dent gave assurance that there would be no compromise on basic protection for the position of West Berlin as a Western city sur rounded by East Germany. A joint statement issued follow ing the White House meeting said that Eiesenhower and Adenauer reasserted their determination to try to achieve “the reunification of Germany in peace and free dom.” “They further agreed,” the state ment said, “that the preservation of the freedom of the people of West Berlin, and their right of self-determination, must underline any future agreement affecting the city.” SEE THE OLYMPIA Typewriter Before You Buy A Otis McDonald’s Bryan Business Machines THE BATTALION Wednesday, Mai’ch 16, 1960 College Station, Texas Page 3 Federal Aviation Agency Reveals New Title, Program In its accelerated program to greatly improve air safety, the Federal Aviation Agency has an nounced a new name and impor tant new and stepped-up pilot services at Bryan College Station’s FAA Air Traffic Communication Station. It will now be called FAA Flight Service Station and will still be located on Easterwood Field. William S. Hall, station chief, said today, “There are more than 250,000 individual flights a day over the nation. Over 90 per cent of these flights are made under FAA’s Visual Flight rules, and only 10 per cent of these flights are made on instruments. Most of our work here at BryamCollege Station’s FAA Flight Service Sta tion aid this large group of visual flying pilots.” Last year more than 13,000 pi lots responded to the radio call “College Station Radio” and were helped to make their flight safer. Hall Explains Flight Plans Hall explained that flight plans, filed by pilots under Visual Flight Rules, now are being teletyped to each FAA Facility along the planned flight route, instead of only to the destination station. Each FAA Flight Service Sta tion which receives a flight plan computes the time at which the airplane is due over each station’s area. The FAA specialist on duty is able to immediately relay to the pilot any last minute weather changes or other flight hazards ahead. Weather Reporting System “The new system,” FAA Station Chief Hall said, “also makes pos sible the maximum u^e of the new pilot weather reporting system re cently established between the FAA, the military and civilian pilots. “This is a voluntary general weather reporting plan tlndbr which each pilot aloft reports any weather he is flying in or can see that might cause a hazard to fly- A&M Chamber (Continued from Page 1) tin and Joe Belue.

At Bryan-College Station there are 8 people highly trained for this work. Giant Program Hall commented today, “This stepped-up service to private and executive pilots is a part of the Federal Aviation Agency’s giant program to modernize the federal airways, and to do all that it can to foster and develop civil avia tion.” Created by Congress in the fall of 1958, the authoritative Federal Aviation Agency, in addition to modernizing the airways and fos tering the development of civil aviation, has the task of directing air traffic control of both civil and military aircraft, allocating the di minishing airspace and both issu ing and enforcing air safety rules, said Hall.
