The training program is support ed by a five-year $128,387 grant awarded by the National Institutes of Health and directed by Dr. George T. Dimopoullos, associate professor of veterinary science at LSU. Dommert received his bachelor of science degree in animal science from Texas A&M in 1960, and his doctor of veterinary medicine de gree this spring. At LSU, he will work toward his master’s degree in bacteriology, than obtain a Ph.D. for a career in veterinary science research. I The LSU training program will be an extension of a cooperative graduate program which has been in progress for the past two years between the departments of bac teriology and veterinary science. Dommert, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur E. Dommert of Crow ley, is a graduate of Crowley High School, where is was salutatorian of his class. At Texas A&M, he was presi- 58 3 OWS rice ition exas Co. tflE TAL IFTS 'lavor T \ s* food dent of his freshman veterinary medicine class and was named the outstanding freshman veterinary medicine student. He was a mem ber of Phi Zeta, honorary veteri nary society, and Phi Kappa Phi, national honor society; vice presi dent and treasurer of the Civilian Student Council; secretary of the Dormitory Council; member of the Council for the School of Veteri nary Science; and parliamentarian and emergency fund councilman for the junior chapter, American Veterinary Medical Association. During the past school year Dom mert was president of the A&M Student Senate, having served dur ing 1959-60 as corresponding sec retary. He received the “Battal ion” Award of Appreciation for service to students and school.

Leighton To Leave For Pakistan Trip Dr. R. E. Leighton, professor of dairy science at Texas A&M, will leave the Dairy Department for a two-year assignment in East Pakistan. Accompanied by his wife, Leta, the scientist will begin his trip on Aug. 18. He expects to return to the Dairy Science Department at the end of the two years. Leighton will be chief of the A&M Contract Party in East Pakistan. The party is a group of consultants working under the Intercollege Exchange Program be tween the University of Dacca and Texas A&M. The program is spon sored and supported financially by the International Co-operation Ad- T. D. Tanksley Named Judging Team Member T. D. Tanksley, Jr., animal hus bandman for the Texas Agricul tural Extension Service, for the second consecutive year has been named a member of the four-man judging team to select the champ ions in the 1961 National Barrow Show. He will again represent the nation’s colleges and universities on the committee. The show will be held at Austin, Minnesota, September 12-15. As sistant Extension Director W. N. Williamson said, “This is recog nition for the fine work that Tanksley did last year at the show and is doing to improve the swine industry in Texas. The nation’s outstanding swine breeders partic ipate in the breeding and market classes of the show which is con sidered the ‘World Series of Swine Shows.’ ” Carcass contests — where hogs are ranked on their dollar and cent value—and the slaughtering of live show winners to determine their market value originated at the Austin Show. This technique is widely used in meat type hog im provement programs. ministration, Washington, D. C., and the U. S. Overseas Mission, Karachi, West Pakistan. The A&M party’s duties are directed to such areas as engineer ing, commerce, agriculture and vet erinary medicine. Purpose of the ICA, which is a federal agency of the U. S. gov ernment, is to provide technical educational services to underde veloped countries. Most of Leighton’s time will be spent in the city of Dacca. How ever, much of his time outside of Dacca is scheduled for the new university in the city of Mymen- singh, where he will help organize agricultural departments. On their way to East Pakistan, Dr. and Mrs. Leighton plan to make stops at Honolulu, Japan, Hong Kong, Bankok and Ceylon. While in Ceylon, they will confer with D. W. Williams who has been there for several years. Williams was the first vice chancellor for agriculture at A&M. Leighton, who has been at Texas A&M since 1947, is widely known throughout the state for his dairy research. Outstanding examples of his studies include formulation and use of a new whole milk replacer for dairy calves; research into types of rations best suited for feeding dairy cows in hot weather; and making and feeding silage. In addition to teaching under graduate and graduate courses in dairy cattle breeding, feeding and management, the educator has con ducted an average of two to three off-campus short courses for dairy farmers each year since 1953. Research Results Donated To A&M Socony Mobil Oil Company, Inc. has donated the results of an ex tensive research study on electrical well logging to 11 universities and colleges in the United States of fering petroleum courses, includ ing Texas A&M. The study, which fills 17 vol umes, was conducted by Hubert Guyod, Houston logging consult ant, and is the product of a re search effort sponsored by Socony Mobil and several other companies. Well logging is a technique that involves sending electrical impul ses from an instrument lowered into a well to determine types of earth formations a t different depths. Geologists and engineers use this information during oil well drilling to help them deter mine the probability of finding oil in commercial quantities. Guided by T. A. Pollard of So cony Mobil’s Field Research Lab oratory at Dallas, chairman of an advisory committee for the re search studies, Mr. Guyod created an electrical model representing earth formations surrounding oil and gas wells. He ran simulated logging tools into the “wells” and produced nearly 5,000 model logs showing in detail the electricity resistivity of earth formations. , , These logs, plus a handbook of general information on well log ging also donated to the schools, will help teachers illustrate exact logging conditions. The schools receiving the vol umes are The University of Texas, Texas A&M, University of Hous ton, Arlington (Texas) State Col lege, Louisiana State University, Tulane University, the University of Oklahoma, Texas College of Arts and Industries, the Univer sity of Kansas, Texas Technologi cal College, and the University of Illinois. ...Get flie •• • ^ Lowest Prices First Qualify VV V 7/ Every Tire GUARANTEED ^ sa * ; / f against ROAD HAZARDS 6.00-16 SIZE P/us LIFETIME See price box for GUARANTEE other sizes and types NYLON $ 1 MORE SIZE RAYON* NYLON* 6.00-16 9.95 10.95 6.70-15 10.77 11.77 7.10-15 12.77 13.77 7.60-15 14.77 15.77 7 41 WHITEWALLS $3 MORE ^ NYLON TUBELESS 13 7 7 SIZE 7.50-14 BLACK WE CARRY THE COMPLETE LINE OF FIRESTONE TIRES.., One for every driver, every car, every road, every pocketbook!
