King Keglers
The A&M Bowling Team was officially designated the
king of the Texas Intercollegiate Bowling Congress in Dallas
last Saturday when they were presented with a trophy after
running off with the loop title.
The Cadet keglers not only annexed the loop crown, but
walked off with the trophy with a 20%-game margin in the
72-game schedule. The University of Texas, Arlington State
College and Southern Methodist University were distant
bunched competitors.
The victory marks the second in the past three weeks
for College athletics as the golf team secured the Southwest
Conference links crown. Unusually enough, the A&M keglers
are not a College-sponsored organization . . .
Just $65,000 . . .
Excellent progress has been made in raising funds for
the new Crestview Home for the Aged to be located in Bryan.
The Bryan-College Station Chamber of Commerce, which is
endeavoring to raise $100,000 for the home that is being
valued at $1,000,000, has but $65,000 remaining to complete
the goal.
A special dinner was held last Friday for people planning
to donate gifts larger than usual in an effort to increase
donations. Most people in the area do not realize there is an
office open at the intersection of Washington and 24th
Streets in Bryan for citizens to donate funds for the Home.
Many citizens have been contacted personally in an effective
program to raise funds, but those who have not been con
tacted can do their part by dashing to the office to contribute.
Examples of the usefulness for such homes are prevelant
everywhere. The Home for the Aged in Lockhart is an ex
cellent example as are other homes across the state and na
tion. It is a chance for Bryan-College Station area to illustrate
what the cooperation of the citizens can do to improve the
region.
The remaining donations needed to complete the drive
may appear quite large when the figure $65,000 is mentioned.
But some $35,000 has already been given and the $65,000 left
is but a relatively small fraction . . .

Piercing up between Goodwin
and Bizzell Halls stands a radar
tower 75 feet tall with an eight-
foot parabolic disc at its top.
The tower is part of a $250,000
radar unit used in the Depart
ment of Oceanography and Me
teorology.
The radar set is owned by the
Air Force and the Department
is able to use the set through
the Air Force Cambridge Re
search Center and the Geophys
ical Research Directorate, ac
cording to Dr. Vance Moyer, as
sociate professor of meteorology.
“The radar unit has two dis
tinct purposes, which are to first

ond to instruct,” said Moyer.
“Our main purpose in research
is to diagnose thunderstorms and
through developing methods of
determining weather conditions
within a 400-mile radius, to in
directly protect lives and prop
erty.”
Moyer explained much of the
research done with the radar is
in the form of tabulated data,
which is compared with the data
obtained at Great Blue Hill Ob
servatory in Milton, Mass., one
of the oldest meteorological stud
ies centers in the country.
“ ‘Project 287,’ ” which deals
with the radar and sferics anal
ysis of thunderstorms is one of
our more developed phases of
research,” said Moyer. He con
tinued by explaining the proj
ect included taking cross-section
pictures of a thunderstorm with
the radar unit and a Fairchild
camera, and shooting a series
of cross-sections of the storm at
different altitudes, niany exceed
ing 60,000 feet, thus gathering
information concerning the com
position and inner ‘ structure of
the storm.
“We ‘slice’ portions of the
storm and by making pictures of
them, we can stack these up and
build a picture of the interior,”

said Moyer. Continuing, he ex
plained how data taken from a
storm can be converted into
graphic form and ah “average”
graph for a given weather condi
tion can be determined.
“Then, and weather condition
spotted on the radar scope can
be analyzed and a graph made
symbolizing its characteristics.
This graph can then be identified
through other graphs and the
severity of the weather condition
can be determined,” said Moyer.
Moyer went on by stating the
weather data obtained was not
used as a public service directly,
but in case of a serious and se
vere weather situation, the op
erators would cooperate with the
local Civil Defense Team to cope
with any disaster.
“Instruction in radar is ob
tained in the graduate elective
course for meteorology majors
and within four semesters we
have had 55 students to take the
course,” said Moyer. He added
that a probable increase in stu
dents taking this course should
be found in the fall semester,
since it is easier for many to
work it into their schedules.
“Radar is actually a very young
thing; it can accurately be dated
back 20 years and we in this
field are still pioneers. Much
progress is still left to be made,”
said Moyer. “But of course, this
is true of the entire science of
meteorology and it is thousands
of years old,” he added.

SHAFFERS
By LEWIS GULICK
WASHINGTON (A 3 ) — President
Eisenhower faced a news confer
ence quizzing today on one of his
toughest foreign policy predica
ments in his years at the White
House.
Congressmen of both parties
closed ranks behind the President
—at least temporarily—in defense
of the administration’s sending of
high flying planes on spy missions
deep into Soviet territory.
But U. S. Allies fretted, and
Premier Nikita Khrushchev ham
mered away at the incident of the
U. S. plane which went down in
side the Soviet Union.
Formal Protest
Moscow, in its first formal pro
test against the May 1 flight by
the American U2 jet plane into
the Soviet Union, announced Tues
day it would bring “to account
under Soviet laws” the pilot it has
captured — 30-year-old Francis G.
Powers of Pound, Va.
U. S. officials today awaited a
Soviet response to their plea that
an American diplomat be allowed
to interview Powers.
It was expected here that the
Reds would try Powers as a spy.
Khrushchev has hinted at a trial.
But forecasting the American’s
treatment under Soviet law was
regarded as hazardous because the
Kremlin has shown the law is what
it wants it to be.
Hostile Acts
Moscow’s protest also accused
the United States of premeditated
“hostile acts” by flying over Soviet
territory and threatened reprisal
in the future.
The U. S. position is that it has
made reconnaissance flights into
the Soviet Union in the past, and
may do so in the future, in self
defense to lessen what Washing
ton says is the danger of a sur
prise attack coming from behind
the iron curtain.
Hitting back at Khrushchev’s
threat to strike at allied bases used
for any future U. S. spy flights,
the State Department Tuesday de
clared there is “no doubt” but that
America will fulfill its pledges to
defend its allies in case of attack.
The Department said Turkey,
Pakistan and Norway—the U. S.
Allies Khrushchev named as bas
ing points in the US flight—were
not responsible for Power’% ac
tivities.
Strong Support
Meanwhile the President was
getting strong bipartisan support
from Capitol Hill.
Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson, D.-Tex.,
the Senate majority leader, cau
tioned against using mistakes in
the spy plane case as political
fodder against the administration.
Johnson declared Khrushchev
“cannot use this incident in such
a way as to divide the American
people and weaken our national
strength.”

ING OLE ARMY LOU WOULD LIKE TO

BUSINESS THESE PAST YEARS; AND
WISH YOU THE BEST OF LUCK IN THE
COMING YEARS.
