Not Good, But True
Another holiday—and another 29 Texans killed on Texas
streets and highways.
That’s not a very good way to look at the Labor Day
weekend, the last holiday period before school starts and
citizens begin settling down to business at hand after sum
mer vacation fun is over. But that is how Department of
Public Safety statisticians see it.
All this in spite of efforts by radio and television sta
tions, backing the “Drive Lighted and Live” campaign; Jun
ior Chamber of Commerce all over Texas giving away coffee
in an effort to get people to slow down; and trucking firms
over the state offering their assistance to stranded motorists
free of charge.
What causes this carnage on Texas highways? The
number one killer, as everyone knows, is speed. It figured
in most of the rural fatal accidents during all the holidays
last year. Next on the fatal list is alcoholic beverages. Eight
out of 14 rural accidents during the Fourth of July period
were caused either directly or indirectly by this silent killer.
Who are the victims? Not always the person in the
wrong. Innocent people riding in the fatal cars are also hurt.
Or just persons conscious of the laws and obeying them, sud
denly struck by a careless driver’s car, maimed and killed.
At a time when the highways are crowded, and with
recent rains over the state making driving conditions hazard
ous in some areas consider these techniques:
Slow down. The difference between the time it takes to
drive 200 miles at 60 miles per hour and the same distance
at 70 miles per hour is 30 minutes.
Stay alert. Defensive driving is a must. Treat every
car you meet as if driven by a killer. Rest frequently to pre
vent getting too tired, and as a result, careless.
Brazos County is in the center of the most populated
area of Texas.
Why not make it the center of safety?

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1—<Rep.
Clark Fisher of West Texas, a
quite fellow who sometimes
writes books, did some calf
wrestling and goat nursing dur
ing the July recess of Congress.
It was a case of necessity, he
explains. On returning from the
Democratic National Convention
to his 2,000 acre ranch near Junc
tion he found a shortage of help.
“The calves had to be treated
for worms, and pronto,” the 57-
year-old lawyer-legislator relat
ed.
Pneumonia Precaution
While busy with that job, rain
came and a lot of new shorn
goats had to be hurried into
shelter as a precaution against
pneumonia. More than one sheep
raiser has lost his entire flock
and suffered economic ruin when
fleeceless animals have been
drenched by summer rains.
The incident with the calves re
newed Fisher’s appreciation of re
search by the Department of Ag
riculture into ways of combating
and eradicating screw worm in
festation of livestock. Especially
is he interested in research at the
department’s laboratory in Kerr-
ville. At the urging of Fisher
and Rep. Albert Thomas of Hous
ton, both members of the House
Appropriations Committee, Con
gress recently voted $200,000 for
stepped-up research, primarily at
Kerrville.
Effective Control
Scientists there are hoping to
find ways of reducing the cost
and increasing the efficiency of
a control method already found
to be effective—the production
of blow flies made sterile through
atomic radiation.
Turned loose by the tens of
thousands, they mate with nor
mal flies but there is no propa
gation. The screw worm, infest
ing open wounds of livestock, is
one stage in the life cycle of the
insect. One angle of the re
search is to make the sterile fly
the more alluring in the compe
tition for the love of the normal
fly.
A cooperative effort is planned
with Mexico to stamp out infes
tation which now costs livestock
men an estimated 200 million
dollars a year, Fisher said. Under
a proposed plan, a buffer zone
would be set up on each side of
the border where a concentrated
eradication drive would be con
ducted.

Rapid developments in the ap
plication of data processing to
research has created an urgent
demand for capable personnel in
the field, according to a recent
Texas Engineering Experiment
Station publication.
The publication also implies
that this might have interesting
implications for college students
now choosing their major areas
of specialization.
Students who are interested in
computer methodology have an
excellent training laboratory in
the Data Processing Center of
the A&M College System.
The Board of Directors of the
System organized the center in
September 1958; however, it was
not completed until November
of 1959.
The center was organized as a
regional facility for non-spon-
sored academic research, spon
sored research, institutional fis
cal and operational programs,
teaching of digital computer
techniques and undergraduate
and graduate studies in data
processing. Undergraduate
courses in industrial engineering,
mathematics, business adminis
tration and electrical engineer
ing are taught using the facili
ties of the data processing cen
ter.
According to R. L. Smith Jr.
of the Data Processing Center,
any problem that can be ex
pressed in figures and solved
with pencil and paper can be
solved by a computer.
Smith also stated that using
the facilities of the center to
solve problems most undergrad
uate students encounter would
be like using a spade to work a
flower pot.
The staff of the center wel
comes visitors but it is important
that they are in groups because
it is impossible for them to show
each visitor, individually, through
the center.

Residents of the beautiful
Hensel Apartments have been
greeted by some unwelcome vis
itors after moving into the nicely
furnished homes.
In spite of efforts by occupants
and college employees, crickets
are making their way into the
apartments, waking the residents
to the sound of their chirping,
and hopping over the floors.
They are accompanied by
wiggly, woolly little friends, the
green worms, who also come in
through unknown entrances,
crawling over the floors.
Student Apartment Manager
Calvin E. Moore reminds apart
ment dwellers that he has plenty
of a chemical which will at least
lessen the nuisance. It is stain
less and odorless, and will kill
the pests for about a week after
application.
“If students will bring a quart
container to the ‘Quonset Hut’,
we will give them enough of the
poison to remove the pests from
their apartments,” said Moore.
