Berkner, president of the newly created Graduate Re search Center- of the Southwest said in a graduate lecture here Fri day that Southwestern universities graduate less than 5 per cent of the total doctorates in the United States compared to 39 per cent by the Northeastern universities. Compared on the basis of the number of doctorates per million population, Texas and the South west are badly behind, Berkner said. Texas and the Southwest produce only 22 doctorates a year per mil lion population compared to 127 per million in Massachusetts and 82 per million in the seven leading states. The national average is 48 doctorates per million population. Berkner said that if the South west is to assume its share of the intellectual challenge facing the nation, it must upgrade both the quality and the quantity of gradu ate education. Berkner was opti mistic in believing that the com munity of the Southwest is de termined to provide the chance to BATTALION CLASSIFIED WANT AD RATES )ne day 5<* per word 2d per word each additional da per ■ Mi imam charge DEADLINE harge—40d d p.m. day before publicatla Classified Display 80d per column inch each insertion PHONE VI 6-6415 FOR RENT louse, ner, available end of term.

Main TA 2-1941 its young men and women for graduate education, a graduate op portunity which can be second to none in the world, in order that this region can discharge its re sponsibility to the nation and to its people. This will cost money—Berkner believes that at least $400,000,000 will be required to accomplish the necessary job within the next 15 years. Yet the economic independ ence and stability of the region will depend upon accomplishing the necessary task of making available the opportunity for more of our gifted students to reach the doc torate within this region. The Graduate Research Center of the Southwest is dedicated to this pur pose. In addition Berkner said uni versities must cooperate in meeting ing this challenge and must ask themselves how they can create a distinguished graduate faculty in an atmosphere where basic re search and graduate training are given the dominant role. The Graduate Research Center of the Southwest has developed a regional six-point plan to assist in achieving the objective of a major increase in graduate and con comitant research opportunities. These are: FOR DISEASE, INSECTS Nurserymen Told Control Methods Some of the latest plant disease and insect control methods were outlined to Texas nurserymen at tending their 30th annual short course here Sunday through today. Harlan E. Smith, plant path ologist with the Texas Agricultural Extension Service, said the most recent recommendation for black spot on roses is the use of maneb or Phaltan. Terrachlor or PCNB will do the best job of stopping brown patch in lawns. Euonymous plants with powdery mildew trouble can be helped with applications of Karathane or Phal- Faculty, Staff Group Slates Final Meeting The fourth and last meeting of the 1960-61 school year of the College Faculty-Staff Dinner Club, will be held Thursday at 7:30 p.m, in the Assembly Room of the Memorial Student Center.

Piper Awarded Air Force Medal Capt. Charles W. Piper, assist ant professor of air science, has been awarded the Air Force Com mendation Medal for meritorious service in streamlining apd the overall improvement of the Wing Intelligence functions within the 81st Tactical Fighter Wing, RAF Station, Bentwaters, England. The award was presented Piper by Col. Charles E. Gregory, pro fessor of air science. Piper came to the A&M depart ment from his service stint in England. *•" tan, the pathologist said. Cotton root rot, which also attacks flow ers, shrubs and trees, can be les sened with cultural controls, such as drying of the soil and the grow ing of indicator plants like okra. Smith estimated that 75 per cent of specimens sent to his office for plant disease identification, come from ornamentals. From 1,000 to 1,500 specimens are sent in each year. Approximately 100 persons at tended the short course. In addi tion to plant 'diseases and insects, subjects ranged from state and federal laws affecting nurserymen to automation. Sponsors of the course are A&M in cooperation with the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station, Texas Agricultural Extension Ser vice and the Texas Association of Nurserymen. C. F. Garner, extension service entomologist, said cut ants still are best controlled with methyl hicomide. For scale insects, such insecticides as malathion in mis cible i oil, or Diazinon, are recom mended. Spider mites, Garner said, are becoming mox*e difficult to control because of insecticide resistance by some species. Specifically recom mended are Chlorobenzilate, Kel- thane, Tedion or malathion. The entomologist said an effec tive preventive to protect shade trees from borers is to spray at three-week intervals with a mix ture of DDT and malathion. Nematode Control W. H. Thames, Jr., associate professor in the Department of Plant Physiology and Pathology, discussed control of nematodes, a troublesome soil pest of nurseries. As a pre-planting soil treatment, Thames recommended such nema- tocide chemicals as dichloropro- pene, dibromopropane and methyl bromide. Dipping plants in con trolled temperature hot water was advised for infested plants. John Long and E. C. Holt, A&M agronomists, discussed herbicide and weed controls and modern turf management. David A. Pate and A. F. DeWerth, both of the Depart- mentof Floriculture, talked on re cent research and trends affecting nurserymen. Dr. R. E. Patterson, Dean of Agriculture, delivered an address of welcome. Rev. George Becker . . .new Lutheran director Rev. Becker Takes Campus Lutheran Post The Rev. E.
