Rupel, Hillin
Conduct Dairy
Discussion
Dr. I. 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.

...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. ^

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.”
