TO ANALYZE CHEMICALS
Probe For Moon Study
Unveiled Here Friday
A compact instrument package,
designed to help analyze the chem
ical composition of the moon’s sur
face by remote, automatic means,
was unveiled hei-e Friday.
James E. Webb, chief adminis
trator for the National Aeronautics
and Space Administration, was on
■ hand to view the first public show-
ling of the prototype instrument
I package being developed here un-
jdcr grants from NASA and the
lAtomic Energy Commission.
Webb, principal speaker at the
Century Study Convocation Fri
day, toured the Nuclear Science
Center and the Activation Anal
ysis Research Laboratories during
his visit.
He was accompanied by Cong.
Olin E. Teague (D.-Tex.) of Col
lege Station, a member of the
House Committee of Science and
Astronautics. Gen. A. R Luedecke,
general manager of the AEG, also
viewed the instrument.
THE PROTOTYPE instrument
package is being developed here
under grants of $84,000 from
NASA and $125,000 from the AEG
for research directed by Dr. Rich
ard Wainerdi, head of the A&M
A.A.R.L.
The research is aimed at show
ing the feasibility of analyzing the
elemental composition of the moon,
work that promises to make an
important contribution to an even
tual manned flight to the moon,
Wainerdi said.
Rudder Calls Friday Session
‘Great Day In Our History’
President Earl Rudder Tuesday
cited the continuing messages of
f congratulations from over the
| nation as he called the Century
Study convocation “one of the
great days in. our institution’s his
tory.”
“I am deeply grateful to all who
had a part, large or small, in last
Friday’s program,” he said. “I
wish to join the Board of Directors
in its expression of appreciation.”
Rudder noted the “long and tir
ing hours” which went into the
planning and execution of convoca
tion activities.
“The program was well planned
and effectively presented,” the
president continued. “All seg
ments of the college family worked
loyally and efficiently under the
able leadership of the convocation
committee. Those who produced
the Century Study report and the
resulting challenge of excellence
from the college were significantly
and warmly recognized.”
Thousands gathered at the con
vocation to take a look at the fu
ture through the “Blueprint for
Progress” from the Board of Di
rectors.
“I am confident that all friends
of A&M will continue their fine
support in reaching the college
goals set forth at the historic con
vocation,” Rudder said. “We are
especially proud of the manner in
which residents of College Station
and Bryan rallied behind the col
lege in making the convocation a
success. I know we can count on
them to help as we strive for ex
cellence at A&M.”
In addition to the research work
here, exploratory work is also be
ing conducted at the Lawrence Ra
diation Laboratory, Livermore,
Calif. The A&M-developed instru
ment is being considered by NASA
for a moon-shot probe.
Goal of the moon probe research
project is to ultimately expose a
few square feet of the moon’s sur
face to a stream of neutrons.
After neutron bombardment,
each element in the exposed area
would immediately 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. An analysis of the data,
would then give an accurate pic
ture of the chemical make-up of.
the sample area.
The research here has involved
use of A&M’s nuclear reactor and
the Data Processing Center by the
A.A.R.L.
Looking like an out-sized “bug”
of aluminum and wire, the proto-
type was mounted over a large
barrel of sand.
The detector first scans an area
approximately two centimeters by
one centimenter to determine if
there is any existing radioactivity.
Then it automatically flips over to
the other end to the neutron
source, which sprays the surface
with neutrons for a pre-determined
length of time.
Rotating back again, the detec
tor detects the gamma rays that
each element in the exposed area
gives off, giving characteristic
clues of their chemical composi
tion.

Annual Dairy Short Course
Scheduled Here Next Week
Texas dairymen and others in
terested in the state’s multi-million
dollar dairy industry will attend
the annual Dairyman’s Short
Course in the Memorial Student
Center Nov. 29-30.
A. M. Meekma, an extension
dairy specialist, said short course
speakers will discuss a variety of
subjects which are of vital im
portance to the Texas dairy in
dustry.
Dr. Vearl R. Smith, head of the
Department of Dairy Science at
the University of Arizona, will pre
sent late information on practical
milking practices and reproductive
management in his two appear

half meeting.
Three Texas dairymen, J. Fred
Davis, Haslet; S. R. Donaho Jr.,
Floresville; and Bobby J. Traweek,
Dublin, will appear on the program
as a panel to discuss dairy man
agement pointers.
Two 4-H Club .dairy members
from Erath County, Larry Ste
wart and Miss Nova Wood, will
speak on the value of records for
profitable dairying.
“It Pays to Advertise” will be
discussed by J. M. Frye, adver
tising manager for a large Fort
Worth department store.
Other program speakers will be
members of the A&M teaching re
search and extension staffs, Meek
ma said.

Who, me?
IVe had three
interviews
already!
But your fourth interview might
be the most important. Especially if
it’s with the man from JPL
^That’s right. Jet Propulsion Laboratory.)
Caltech operates JPL for NASA.
Gives the place a campus
atmosphere. 3500 people there.
Eleven hundred of them are scientists
and engineers. The rest are
technicians, secretaries, librarians - -
all kinds of people to back up these
scientists and engineers.
JPL's job? Space exploration.
Designing the spacecraft and
instrumentation that’ll explore the
moon and planets. They want to find
out what the moon is made of and
if there’s life on other planets. And
they will. They’re a dedicated bunch.
And they like their work. After all, whaf
could be more fascinating and more
challenging than the work they do?
Take a half hour or so to talk to
the m6n from JPL Make an
appointment now. It could be the
most important 30 minutes in your life.
