THE CHURCH FOR ALL .
ALL FOR THE CHURCH
The Church is the greatest factor on
earth for the building of character and
good citizenship. It isa storehouse of
spiritual Values. Without a strong
Church, neither democracy nor civiliza
tion can survive. There are four sound
reasons why every person should at
tend services regularly and support the
Church. They are: fl) For hi.-' own rate.
(J) For Mr children*'' rate. O) I" o -h

For the rate of rhe Church i: el;, which

Chapter Verses
A desperate run ... a frantic slide . . . the feel
of the bag against your cleats . . . the belated tag
of the shortstop’s glove. Then a voice, clear, certain
. . . final!
And though the cheers may be laced with hoots
and screams of disapproval, you’re safe. And nothing
can change that fact!
Equally dimmatii — and far more important —
is the adventure that Wrings earnest men and women
into the Church.
There is a point when we realize the inertia of
half-believing. We plunge forward desperately, leav
ing behind yesterday’s skepticism, seeking frantically
the Truth that promises meaning and purpose for
our life.
Then there’s the thrilling moment — the dust
of worldly confusion still all around us — when we
know in our hearts we have found our faith. And
always, above the strains of the organ, even above
the clamor of a world unconvinced, there is a Voice*
clear, certain . . . final — confirming our Faith*

Isotopee Use
Extensive Here
A&M ranks high in the use of radioisotopes, according
to Dr. Aaron Rose, director of the Texas Engineering Experi
ment Station.
A&M uses 23 isotopes in 14 departments on projects in
volving 42 staff members. ♦
In typical A&M research, Cobalt
60 and Phosphorus 32 are being-
used in boll weevil and cotton seed
ling studies. Carbon 14 is being
used in absorption of organic acids
on clay mineral surfaces. It also
is being used by the Department of
Biochemistry and Nutrition to
study glycerols and fatty acids.
The Department of Biology is
using the same radioisotope to
study the metalbolism of bacteria.
Sulfur 35 is being used to trace
the incorporation of sulfur in the
synthesis of sulfur amino acids in
pea roots.
An A&M research project with
large economic implications is that
of Carbon 14 being used to study
the absorption and metabolism of
DDT in the pink boll worm. An

If LBJ Wins,
What’s in Store
For Congress?
By TEX EASLEY
WASHINGTON, (A>)_The selec
tion of Texas’ Sen. Lyndon John
son for the Democratic vice presi
dential nomination has stirred
speculation on what will be the
extent of his role in Congress
should the Democrats win in No
vember.
Officially, the vice president has
little to do except serve as presid
ing officer of the Senate. He only
votes to break a tie.
Many vice presidents have been
figureheads—especially those who
arrived on the scene with no Wash
ington background.
John Nance Garner, now 92,
and living in retirement in Uvalde,
Tex., was a notable exception to
the figurehead role. Garner, as
vice president, exerted undoubted
influence because of his long ser
vice in the House in which he once
was Speaker—the job now held by
another Texan, Sam Rayburn of
Bonham.
Johnson, if he is elected vice
president, probably would wield
even more power than did Garner.
Senate Democrats undoubtedly
would turn to their old majority
leader for advice and counsel—if
for no other reason than habit.
Again, should Johnson be elect
ed, he would preside over a Demo-
cratic-controlled Senate for at
least the next two years.
Regardless of the November bal-
lating, the Senate’s Democratic
majority will prevail in the new
Congress—the 87th—that convenes
early in January because of the
party’s present strength and the
fact that only a third of the mem
bership is up for election this fall.
It is difficult to imagine the
energetic, dynamic Johnson con
fining himself to the single job
of presiding over the Senate. This
possibility surely was considered
by John F. Kennedy, the party’s
presidential candidate, in recom
mending Johnson for the No. 2 spot
on the ticket.

desalination of sea water. The Of
fice of Saline Water is sponsoring
a demonstration plant at Freeport,
Texas. In conjunction with this
very broad program, the Depart
ment of Oceanography and Mete
orology has developed a solvent ex
traction process for desalination.
Sodium 22 and Chlorine 36 have
been used for isotope dilution an
alyses with regard to this research
project.
Still another study is that of the
carbon cycle or carbon dioxide
cycle as it is sometimes referred
to. The interchange above the
oceans is being studied using Cal
cium 45. The phosphate cycle of
sea water is being studied using
Phosphorus 32. Phosphorous 32 is
being used by the Department of
Entomology to determine the spray
patters produced in the amount of
material deposited by various
spray-type nozzles. In view of the
recent Food and Drug Administra
tion actions with regard to resi
duals on foods, etc., this may have
considerable direct economic impli
cation. The use of radioactive
tracer for determining whether or
not traces of material are left in
food products represents a very
important research problem, Rose
believes.
Educationally A&M is offering a
series of courses for degree credit
on the principles and uses of radio
isotopes. Much of the training in
this area is directed towards life
science users. Some industrial
training courses are expected to be
announced by next fall.
The Department of Nuclear En
gineering is offering both a mas
ter’s and a doctor’s degree in this
field. It accepts students from all
of the engineering disciplines as
well as chemistry, physics, and pos
sibly other areas. Construction is
progressing on the 5-megawatt re
search reactor, he said, and that
many of the researchers are look
ing forward to having short-lived
isotopes available from the reactor.

be given one day and the results

Ransdell said this is unusually
fast service for any college.
This service makes it possible
for the college to provide several
testing and counseling clinics
during the summer months, where
students take the tests one day
and scores are interpreted the
next.
At the present time, A&M will
accept tests scores from the Col
lege Entrance Examination Board
Tests of Advanced Standing, or the
American College Testing Pro
gram, or its own placement bat
tery for purposes of placement
and counsel. In certain cases, the
director of admissions will ask a
student who cannot meet admis
sion requirements to take the
placement battery as a part of the
overall consideration for entrance,
Ransdell said.
