THE BATTALION Thursday, November 1, 1962 College Station, Texas Page 3 Sbisa Will Handle Convocation Fete PAUL L. RODRIGUEZ ‘Firefly’ Satellite Orbited To Improve Map Making CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (A 5 )— A “Firefly” satellite with four blinking beacons zipped into orbit Wednesday to survey the earth. It will measure surface bulges, and dips, the center of gravity and distances between far-apart places. The unique satellite, officially named Anna, could produce more accurate maps of our world and gather vitally needed information for tracking future American as tronauts to the moon and back. Militarily, Anna could more pre cisely pinpoint location of possible enemy targets for long-range mis siles, but officials considered that a secondary role.

Because the rocket was aimed on a northeast heading which car ried the satellite over the Soviet Union, the Defense Department announced launching time in ad vance so that Soviet missile track ers would not mistake Anna for a hostile weapon. A project spokesman reported all systems in the satellite were functioning perfectly. He said trackers will follow the payload for three days to determine exact orbital path before starting to ex ercise the flashing lights some time Saturday night. Although packing the illuminat ing power of a lighthouse, the flashes would be so far away they would not be visible to the naked eye. But officials said anyone with binoculars should be able to spot them as dim stars in the night sky. The Defense Department is expected to announce light activa tion times in advance. Ninety-two per cent of com mercial timherlands owned by forest industries is used for hunting. Details of the general setting for the luncheon at the A&M Con vocation Nov. 16 are in experienced hands. Paul L. Rodrigeuz, veteran of almost 34 years service in Sbisa Hall, and his staff have the responsibility. Paul, as he is known to students, figures the convocation luncheon will be the biggest event since Dwight D. Eisenhower was on campus in 1950. Approximately 1,400 persons sat down at tables in Sbisa Hall to hear Eisenhower. “Any function that pertains to the college, I’m usually in the middle of it,” Paul said. He and his crew have ai-ranged tables and then cleaned up afterward for scores of luncheons, banquets and dances. A native of Bryan and graduate of Stephen F. Austin Migh School, Paul joined the A&M dining hall staff March 28, 1929. “It’s the only job I ever had in my life,” Paul said. Men he knew as students, includ ing several who worked for him, now hold high posts in government, education, business and other fields. Former students often come by Sbisa to visit Paul. The old saying “like father, like son” holds true for Paul. His fa ther strongly believed in educa tion and Paul has this same firm conviction. He decided to remain in his native Bryan so his sons could attend A&M. Paul’s brother, Pete, is also a veteran staff member on the cam pus. He is a storekeeper in the chemistry department.
