Godbey . . . genetics head retires work in statistics and biometry which has achieved steadily in creasing note in the eyes of his professional colleagues throughout the world. Watkins described Godbey as “a noble man who has been a great teacher, an intelligent counselor and an effective builder.” Godbey was born in 1895 in Kentucky and received his bach elor of science degree in 1926 at the University of Kentucky. He earned his master of science de gree in 1926 at A&M and did fur ther graduate work at Iowa State University. The geneticist is a past winner of a Faculty Distinguished Achievement Award. In 1949 he was named Man of the Year by the City of College Station. He is a member of the Amer ican Association for the Advance ment of Science, Poultry Science Society, American Society of Ag ronomy, American Statistical As sociation-Biometrical Section, Al pha Zeta, Phi Kappa Phi and Sig ma Xi. Godbey says his “retirement” will consist of a little farming, cattle raising and plenty of yard work. He also plans to catch up on hunting, fishing and traveling. He and his wife live at 210 Lee Street in College Station. Physics Wing Ready For Use In November (Editor’s Note: This is the sec ond in a series of articles on new buildings constructed or under construction on campus.) The new $450,000 addition to the Physics Building is rapidly nearing completion and should be ready for occupation in November, according to Dr. James Potter, head of the Department of Physic^. The addition, which was started last October, will house two large lecture rooms, four average-size classrooms, eleven large labora tories, ten offices and five labora tory-office combinations. Potter added. It is the same size as the first wing of the building, built in 1921. The second wing, constructed on the south side, was occupied in 1952. Except for one large lecture room and one laboratory, the new addition will be used exclusively for graduate study and research, Potter said. The graduate work will include every program offered by the De partment of Physics except those conducted at the special research site west of the railroad tracks. The two older wings will be used primarily for undergraduates, Potter added. • The new addition was built to easily accommodate 60 full-time graduate students. THE BATTALION Wednesday, September 20, 1961 College Station, Texa* Page 3 Food Institute Meeting Slated The Texas section of the Insti tute of Food Technologists will hold a meeting here Saturday. Main speaker for the session will be Dr. John M. Jackson, pres ident-elect of the Institute of Food Technologists, who will discuss “Food For The Developing Coun tries—A Challenge To Food Tech nologists.” Jackson is with the American Can Company Research Center at Barrington, 111. Dr. A. V. Moore, program chair man and professor in the Depart ment of Dairy Science, said the meeting will start at 3:30 p.m. in Heep Hall. Jackson will speak during a business session at 4:30 p.m. Physics Wing Nears Completion The new $450,000 wing on the Physics occupancy in November and will be used Building looms impressively over a row of primarily for graduate study and research, cars to the south of the present building. (Photo by Bob Sloan) The addition is expected to be ready for $17,600 Grant Given College For Research On Frog Life The National Science Foundation has approved a special $17,600 grant to A&M for studies on the cranial anatomy of frogs belong ing to the family “Leptodactyli- dae.” Dr. Richard J. Baldauf, associate professor in the Department of Wildlife Management, is chief in vestigator on the project. In the past, evolution ^of frogs has been a subject of interest and investigation for many students of herpetology, zoogeography, morph ology and genetics. “This is particularly important because the amphibians have served as the evolutionary ‘step ping stones’ from water to land in the development of air-breath ing animals,” Baldauf said. “Ideas on the evolution of frogs are far from complete and are de pendent on new approaches in re- BUT IS IT PROFITABLE?

Studies of the morphology of the frogs have been almost wholly neglected in the United States since the tux*n of the cen tury, and detailed research into the carnial morphology of these animals is virtually untouched.” In 1959, Baldauf completed a five-year study of the cranial an atomy of toads which revealed for the first time that the toads are separable and distinguishable as two distinct groups. Studies of cranial morphology by Baldauf represent th<p first of such detailed research to be ac complished in the U.S. He has published five papers on the sub ject and is currently preparing other manuscripts.
