W. Rupel and Joe M. Hillin recently conducted a panel discussion on dairying at the In- Service Education Workshop in Austin for teachers of vocational agriculture. Dr. Rupel is head of the Texas A&M Department of Dairy Science, and Hillin is a dairy specialist in agricultural education at the col lege. The workshop was sponsored by the Texas Education Agency. ing the latter half of August. The Congress, which meets every four years, is the forum for the Pacific Science Association, an or ganization of nations bordering on the Pacific Ocean. More than a thousand representatives are due to attend. Dr. Doran is the convenei* of a symposium on Land Tenure Prob lems in the Pacific, one of the 14 symposia within the Division of Geography. Giving papers at this symposium will be administrators and students of land tenure from six different island groups scat tered across the Pacific from the Cook Islands west to the Solomons and from Fiji north to the Mar shall Islands. The Congress is organized into some 10 divisions, of which the Division of Geography is one. Each division will be represented by a series of symposia. Best Way To Learn About Radio Station—Build It! By VIVIAN BROWN AP Newsfeatures Writer WESTPORT, Conn.—The way to learn how to run a radio station is to build one. “It’s the only way to get prac tical experience, working in an enterprise from the ground up,” says 17-year-old Mike Fast of Bridgeport. Mike is chief engi neer of station WPPT here, which he and three other teenage boys built themselves. The boys studied local stations and made theirs “into something lhat resembled the others put to gether,” Mike says. Materials costing about $1,000 included pro gram amplifiers, turn tables, speakers, tape machines. The quartet built much of the equipment last winter. But much technical kno'vy’-how was supplied later by Cliff Mills, 18,. and Den nis Jackson, 14. Gordon Joseloff, 17, became news director, Jeff Berman, 17, salesman, and Stuart Soroko, 18, bad hand in all departments. “We took a, flyer at this a year ago, but the FCC ordered us to stop broadcasting because we were unauthorized,” Mike says. “We got permission this year to have a low power transmitter as long as we kept within the legal limit of under 100 milliwatts.” They decided to concentrate on reaching the greatest number of people in the smallest area—Com- po Beach. A transmitter - went into the lifeguard’s house. An other was set up on the second floor of the YMCA in town to reach their sponsors, the mer chants. Jeff took a special selling course, charging the merchants $46 for the season. Their sponsors in cluded 14 season customers, 10 for half-season, some for a few weeks. Merchandise, printed stationary, a clock from a hardware store, cur tains from a drygoods store, tick ets to the theater also were taken in trade. “We really needed the money. Telephone wires run to the beach, so our telephone bill is terrific. Half our earnings will go to pay for it,” Mike explains. The boys learned radio appeal, which*was particularly useful to Gordon, Jeff and Stuart who want to be announcers. “We did surveys on the beach and discovered that people don’t want a lot of, talking—long inter views, lengthy newscasts and wea ther forecasts. They like music, so we cut down on everything else and gave them plenty of mu sic,” Mike explains. The boys regret giving up their station to return to school. They will be better equipped, however, when they resume next summer. Cliff will attend Norwalk Techni- can School and Mike will study electrical engineering at Tri-State College. He has already worked as announcer and part-time engi neer at two radio stations in the neighborhood. II ...and be sure you have the right color telephone to go with it! Whatever color scheme you choose for the interior of your most “lived in” rooms, you’ll find a color telephone that will blend with it per fectly. The cost of a color phone is low... its value as a fashionable addition to your home is high. Let us show you a selection today. ^ The Southwestern States Telephone Company Dr. Edwin Doran ...

The sum of $27,700 has been granted the Texas A&M Research Foundation by the National Science Foundation. The fund will be used for the support of research, titled, INFORMATION (Continued from Page 1) rent of $10 at the Fiscal Office and presenting the receipt at the Housing Office in the YMCA. This includes students now living in Milner. This registration must be completed by 5 p.m. Friday, Au gust 25. Those students who will not re turn for the fall semester are re minded to turn in their mattress covers before leaving the campus. Those students who will live in the Corps of Cadets in the fall must also turn in their mattress covers at the end of the summer term. All day students, including those living in college apartments, are strongly urged to secure day stu dent permits and pay their fees early in order to save time for all concerned. “The Formation of Bubbles and Interfacial Area in Heterogeneous Systems.” . The research will be under the direction of Charles D. Holland, Department of Chemical. Engineer ing and Texas Engineering Experi ment Station, Texas A&M. The grant was effective July 1 and is for two years. ' “Many commercial purification processes involve the contacting of gas and liquid streams,”' Holland said today. “The rate at which a substance is transferred from one stream to the other is proportional to the interfacial or contact area between the two streams.” “The proposed research,” Hol land says, “is concerned with the determination of the influence of the physical properties and operat ing conditions on the formation of interfacial area in various types of contractors.” HOT SPOT CHATTANOOGA, Term. (A*)— Service station attendant Avery M. Hunt is beginning to except the worst. Since he went to work at his station in 1957, he has been held up five times.
