Ex-Purdue Prof Joins Faculty Dr. Norman Gay, formerly of Purdue University, has joined the Texas Engineering- Experiment Station as a research engineer and the Department of Mechanical En gineering as a professor. As research engineer with the Engineering Experiment Station, Gay will head the heat-power group. The scientist recently received his doctorate at Purdue. He re ceived his B.S. degree in 1941 at the University of Rochester and his M.S. degree in 1943 at Cornell University.

Each Sunday—Fellowship )_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. r ?fytm : : • Mom mu / Subscribe Now at Hall Price* You can read this world-famous daily newspaper for the next six months for $5, just half the regular subscription rate.

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. THE BATTALION Thursday, August 4, 1960 College Station, Texas Page 3 TESTING STUDENTS (Continued from Page 1) be given one day and the results discussed with students the next day. 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. ACADEMY (Continued > from Page 1) thing new in view of the state’s present financial situation. The Galveston senator-elect said $75,000 in matching federal funds are available for such a school and that cadets in the program would receive $600 annually from the government. The board Friday' directed its staff to study the proposal and to make a budget recommendation in time for the January session of the Legislature. Fly there. it's faster by far!
