Three Researchers
Plan New Stage
Of Study Of Bats
A three-man A&M research
team will begin another phase of
a detailed study of free-tailed bats
in early February.
Dr. Dilford Carter, a member of
the wildlife management faculty,
and two students — Robert W.
Adams of College Station and Du
ane C. Gall of McAllen — will
visit Central America February
through May for additional data
on the bats.
For more than a year now,
several members of the wildlife
management faculty have studied
habits and collected speciments
throughout Mexico and part of
Central America.
Dr. W. B. Davis, head of the
department, recently has returned
from a month-long search for bats
in parts of Central America.
Carter and his group will begin
Avork in Nicaragua and later move
to Costa Rica and Panama.
Sharp-eyed cameras not too
different from those used on U-2
aircraft are helping to design
safer highways in Texas.
Research engineers in the
Texas Transportation Institute
here and in the Texas Highway
Department are using continu
ous aerial strip photography to
study the level-of-service for a
six-mile section of the Gulf
Freeway in Houston which serv
es motorists in that metropoli
tan area.
Richai’d McCasland, A&M as
sociate professor of civil engi
neering and associate research
engineer for the institute, said
the study will have far reaching
effects on future freeway de
sign.
The study is being conducted
as a part of the cooperative re
search program of the Texas
Highway Department, Bureau of
Public Roads and Texas Trans
portation Institute. Previously
traffic engineers were able to
A-iew and photograph a relative
ly small segment of a highway
from a fixed toAver.
Now, because of airplanes
equipped with 70 mm cameras
capable of taking continuous
strip stereoscopic photographs,
they can accomplish a practical
ly instantaneous inspection of a
..long stretch of highway.
“We are interested in seeing
— and thereby knowing — more
about operational characteristics
of freeways that effect the level
of service a freeAvay can offer
the motorists,” McCasland said.
Instead of limiting their in
terest in the “capacity” of a free
way at a given time, the A&M
and Highway Department engi
neers are looking for the same
factors that motorists use to
evaluate a traffic way: travel
time, traffic interruptions, driv
er ease (or tensiohs) experienc
ed and safety.
“We are developing means to
incorporate all these factors in
an evaluation of the roadway,”
McCasland said.
A strip photograph provides
an overall view that helps engi
neers analyze both the cause and
the effect of traffic stoppages.
35 Put On Faculty
For Annual Course
Thirty-five men in various fields
and from cities coast-to-coast have
been named to the faculty of the
eleventh annual Executive Develop
ment Course scheduled here Jan.
27-Feb. 15.
The nationally recognized au
thorities from business and in
dustry will join seven faculty
members in the instruction, W. E.
Eckles, course director, said. Most
faculty members will make one
speech upon topics under study by
course enrollees.
The Executive Development
Course’s primary purpose is to
help middle and top management
echelons become more effective in
their work and prepare for ad
vancement.
Many companies send manage
ment personnel to the course each
year. Firms represented since the
first class met in 1952 cover a
wide range of industries. Admis
sion is by nomination of the man’s
employer and the approval of the
steering committee.

Earle Carleton, 66, a retired engi
neer at the A&M Power Plant.
Carleton died Tuesday in a Marlin

He was born on March 21, 1896,
in San Saba County, Texas, and
moved to Bryan in 1924. He was
employed at the power plant from
Dec. 26, 1929, to May 31, 1961.
Carleton was a member of the

and served with the 36th Infantry
Division during World War I.

ier Funeral Home Chapel. Burial
was in the Bryan City Cemetery.
Survivors include his wife, Mrs.
Vera Carleton; two daugters, Mrs.

The entire building twice wal
evacuated, as nine floors betweei
the 24th and 68th were damagei!
by the flames.
A water main broke, adding til
the turmoil. Thousands of wort
ers, unable to get to their desks I
on time, milled behind police bar-|
ricades, craning their necks at
smoke plunging out of their ow

A few television and rato

off the air for a time.
The fire marshal’s office offered
an “educated guess” that a work-|

cigarette Tuesday beside the felt

All other conduits in the shaft
