Moon Surface Study To Be Held Here Engineers and scientists here and at the University of Califor nia are studying ways of deter mining the chemical composition of the moon’s surface by remote, automatic means; the Atomic En ergy Commission has announced. The work, supported by the Di vision of Isotopes Development of the AEC and the National Aero nautics and Space Administra tion, may make an important con tribution to an eventual manned flight to the moon. Exploratory work is underway at the Activation Anaylsis Re search Laboratory and at the Law rence Radiation Laboratory at Li vermore, Calif. A major goal is to ultimately expose a few square feet of the moon’s surface to a stream of neutrons. Heading the research project here will be Dr. Richard E, Wain- erdi, head of the AARL and as sociate dean of engineering. After a portion of the moon’s surface is exposed to neutron bombardment, each element in the exposed area would immediate ly give off rays characteristic of that element in its radioactive state. Detectors, sent to the moon with the neutron source, would collect data and relay it by radio to waiting scientists on earth. Ana lysis of the data then would give an accurate picture of the chemi cal make-up of the sample area. Using materials to simulate the probable composition of the moon — based on best available esti mates — the researchers are test ing various detector devices. The central problem is one of separat ing and interpreting the complex radiation signals after they are received on earth. Upon completion of the studies, the best system for analyzing the moon’s surface will be developed. The AEC financial support of the Activation Analysis Research Laboratory totals $125,000 this year. This is supplemented by an $84,000 grant from NASA and other support. The University of California work is supported by a NASA grant of $105,000 to the univer sity’s space sciences laboratory at Berkeley.

ROBERTS Two A&M agriculturists have been named to help the Dominican Republic establish an experiment station and school of agriculture. They are James E. (Jocko) Ro berts, A&M farm . manager for 25 years, and Dr. Earl Knebel, head of the Department of Agricultural Education. The Development Association, Inc., of Santiago has raised a budget, supplemented by a Ford AMONG THE PROFS Ag Economists Attending Seminar Two members of the Department of Agricultural Economics and So ciology are participating in a three-day farm accounting seminar at Michigan State University. They are Dr. Vance W. Edmond son, associate professor of farm and ranch management, and Cecil A. Parker, farm management spec ialist with the Texas Agricultural Extension Service. The seminar study will be cen tered upon machine processing of mail-in farm business data and a study of accounting system design that will facilitate computer ana lysis. Edmondson said the seminar is a north central region project to which A&M farm and ranch mana gement representatives have been invited. Experimental work in farm and ranch accounting is underway by the Extension Service and A&M, he said. . “To keep up-to-date in teaching farm and ranch accounting, the Department of Agricultural Eco nomics has, during the past year, added four fully automatic calcu lating machines to its accounting laboratory,’’ Edmondson said. ‘The classroom teaching program will be placing more emphasis upon computer methods of handling data.” ★ ★ ★ Hugh Luke, assistant professor CORRECTED SCHEDULE Outfit picture for the Aggieland will be made according to the schedule below.

Correction In the Oct. 23 issue of The Bat talion, a story listed three winners of Featherlite Corporation grants as A&M students. However, it has been pointed out the The Batta lion was misinformed and listed the winners of another school. Those who did win grants at the 23rd annual convention of the Texas Society of Architects in Houston were Henry Ortega, first place; Bill Leftwich, second place; and Ottie Luther, third place. Foundation Grant, to organize and build the institution. The associa tion will work closely with the Do minican Republic government. Roberts said the U. S. Agency for International' Development al ready has given economic and tech nical assistance to the school’s early planning stages. He said objectives of the school are to train agricultural techni cians to serve as teachers, farm managers and extension service a- gents. A nucleus of students will also be created to pursue advanced studies in agricultural sciences. “Furthermore, it will serve as a model for establishment of schools of similar high standards in other areas of the Dominican Republic,” Roberts said. “Ultimately, the school may evolve into an insti tution of higher learning in agri culture.” The invitation to Knebel and Ro berts to help establish the school was extended in person by Luis Administrators Plan To Attend Meet At Capitol Nineteen administrators from the A&M System have been select ed as delegates to the 76th Annual Convention of Associations of State Universities and Land-Grant Col leges in Washington, D. C., Nov. 11-14. The delegates, most of whom are expected to attend, are Dr. M. T. Harrington, chancellor; Dr. John C. Calhoun Jr., vice-chancellor for development; President Earl Rud der; Dr. R. E. Patterson, dean of agriculture; Dr. Frank W. R. Hu bert, dean of arts and sciences; Robert M. Stevenson, acting head of Division of Business Admini stration; Dr. William J.

Crouch, executive director of the development association who visit- K ed the campus recently. Knebel will assist in school plant ||§ planning and organization of cur ricula. Roberts will act as a con sultant in starting experiments, making land assignments to vari ous projects, advising architects on building plans, equipment needs and employment of personnel. “The Development Association has purchased 1,000 bare, level acres for the school and is start ing from scratch,” Roberts said. DR. EARL KNEBEL New Recorders Arrive Here For Modern Language Lab Another 36 booths are being add ed to the modern language labora tory. The equipment is being in stalled in Room 128 of the Aca demic Building and will be com pleted sometime before Christmas. “A&M’s language lab is un challenged in this part of the country in original tapes. The tapes used are made by the de partment with the needs of stu dents in mind, while other schools use tapes distributed by publish ing companies,” J. Donald Deliz, an instructor in the department, said. In connection with this, Deliz was in Paris this summer making tapes of native French voices to give students a better understand ing of how the French language is actually spoken. “Although many persons do not know it, there are several accents of spoken French, such as the German, Italian, Northern and Southern accents,” Deliz said. Deliz taped samples of each of these from actual conversations. “The tapes have shown favor able results in that problems which had previously confronted students no longer arise,” Deliz said. Arts, Sciences Council Offers Christmas Cards The student Arts and Sciences Council will sponsor a Christmas ' card drive in order to raise funds for scholarships and awards to arts and science students and profess ors. James H. Magers, president of the council, said a wide variety of cards will be offered to students. Special cards will be designed for use by first sergeants and com pany commanders. Charles Mauldin, chairman of the Christmas card committee, said he planned on designing cards to meet individual needs. Different cards are being planned for each of the four classes. Mauldin also said that there will be a difference between cards of fered to corps members and to civilians. Cards will be offered for sale in each dorm sometime after Thanks giving, Mauldin added. The council will attempt to raise $1,300 during the year, with other fund-raising projects to follow. ELECTION (Continued from Page 1) a net gain of three by taking Re publican seats in Connecticut, Maryland, Wisconsin and New Hampshire while losing one in Colorado. In the House, Republicans netted three seats by winning five posts now held by Democrats while los ing two of their own, These re sults were posted with 310 of the 434 House races counted. The balloting for House seats deflated Republican hopes for a big increase . in strength-possibly even control of the House. The GOP hopes had been based on an almost unbroken history of minor ity gains in off-year elections. The GOP expanded its gains of recent years in the South-notab- ly in Texas, Florida, North Caro lina and Tennessee — and upset Democrats in border and Western states as well. The partially off setting Democratic upsets Were scattered. The net result was that in the 88th Congress, as in the 87th, Democrats will have a substan tial numerical majority and will dispose of the posts of speaker and committee chairmen. “Sports Car Center” Dealers for Renault-Peugeot & British Motor Cars Sales—Parts—Service “We Service All Foreign Cars 1416 Texas Ave. TA 2-4517; GARZA’S Restaurant GENUINE MEXICAN & AMERICAN FOODS 803 S.
