Dr. J. R. Jackson Resigns
From Ag Ed Department
Dr. J. R. Jackson, associate pro
fessor in the Department of Agri

resigned his position effective July
1, to assume new duties as deputy
superintendent of the Brazosport
schools.
E. V. Walton, head of the De
partment of Agricultural Educa
tion, said Jackson made outstand
ing contributions to vocational ag
ricultural education during his
tenure at A&M. He pioneered the
Young Farmers of Texas move
ment and was state advisor for
five years.
He also made notable contribu
tions in research for the South
ern Region of the United States.
He was co-author of a text book
on parliamentary procedure and
numerous other publications and
conducted in-service training pro
grams for hundreds of teachers of
vocational agriculture. •
He was recognized throughout
the state by public schools, busi
ness and industry for his aggres
sive leadership in Agricultural Ed
ucation.
George Hurt, Director of Agri
cultural Education in the Texas
Education Agency, said Dr. Jack
son’s contributions have assisted
materially in the development of
the program of Agricultural Edu
cation that exists in Texas today.
Dr. Jackson’s new field of en

Means of conducting- highway
traffic surveys by use of an in
frared radiation detector was the
subject of a graduate research pro
ject recently completed at Texas
Transportation Institute of Texas
A&M for the Texas Highway De
partment.
Aim of the investigation was to
find a detector which would over
come the limitations of ’ air im
pulse road tubes used in traffic
survey systems. The study was
made by W. F. Mundkowsky, grad
uate student in electrical engineer
ing from Taylor, under the super
vision of E. N. Roots, assistant
professor of electrical engineering;
C. J. Keese, professor of civil en
gineering - , and Dr. R. E. Wainerdi,
assistant to the dean of engineer
ing.
A photoelectromagnetic detector
proved the more effectual of the
two detectors tried in the study.
The detector, placed in the road
bed, picks up infrared rays from
the heated underside of a moving
automobile to count the vehicle ip
a traffic survey.
Extensive road testing must be
carried out, however, to determine
the response of the detector to var
ious types of highway vehicles at
various speeds, and to eliminate
the effects of atmospheric and
road conditions which might “trig
ger” the detector at the wrong
times. Another problem still to
